Our Aims:

Through the nursery curriculum provided at Sandyford Day Nursery, the staff seek to:

1. Develop self esteem in every child.
2. Empower each child with the attitudes, skills and understanding which promotes effective learning.
3. Foster achievements.
4. Encourage the development of positive interpersonal relationships.

When making provision for children we take our lead from the child.  We also follow the guidelines set out in the following documents:

• Assessment is for learning (AIFL)
• Curriculum for Excellence
• How Good is Our Early Learning and Childcare?  

Curriculum for excellence focuses on the following capacities:

1. Successful learners
2. Confident individuals
3. Effective contributors
4. Responsible citizens

Copies of all these documents are available in the nursery.
