About us
|
 The aim of First Class is to provide a safe, secure and caring environment for babies and children on a daily basis. Here they will prepare for Primary School within a happy, stimulating and educationally structured environment.
The staff at the nursery includes fully trained Nursery Nurses as well as students working towards completion of Levels II, III and IV (Management) of the SVQ (Scottish Vocational Qualification). The nursery proprietor is an experienced primary teacher with a background at Primary One and Two levels.
First Class will allow babies and children to play and learn in safety. Through structured play situations children will develop essential communication skills, learning to listen attentively and to contribute orally with both adults and their peers. |
