Toddlers 2-3 and 3-5 years Department 

These departments are very much open plan to ensure the children have a choice in all areas that are on offer and to mix in a wider age group.  Low level  dividers will be in place with access into the two different age groups, this allow staff to have quality group times with their children and carry out planned activities to suit the age and stage of all developmental needs. 

The staff in these departments aim to provide a safe and stimulating environment in which the children feel happy and secure.  We promote positive behaviours and attitudes within the children thus helping the development of confidence, independence  and self-esteem. 

Jack and Jill’s Elite Nursery will be following the curriculum framework for 3-5 years which is produced by the Scottish Office.  Both Morning and afternoon sessions are structured to provide activities and experiences to promote children’s development and learning covering the five key aspects:
