Early Learning and Childcare
Rationale for Play
“At Heathryburn Nursery, we provide opportunities for learners to gain lifelong experiences through play. Children access enabling environments both indoors and outdoors, developing their natural curiosity. Our planning, delivery and observation of activities facilitates children to learn about the world around them whilst encouraging them to take ownership of their learning. We aspire to set the foundation for a positive learning journey, ensuring that we provide children with the experiences & spaces they need to grow and develop in every way.”

We take pride in closely observing, monitoring and reporting on learning and development to ensure that we continually meet the ever-changing needs of our pupils.
