Our early years curriculum uses the Montessori approach to bring to life all aspects of Realising The Ambition and Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. You can read through our summarised Curriculum Map here:


Each child’s social, physical, intellectual and emotional development is observed by staff whose job it is to ensure that individuals are given all manner of opportunities to satisfy their interests. By keeping our practice up-to-date, our ideas fresh and following the progress of child development research, our curriculum meets and expands upon the standards of A Curriculum for Excellence.
