Little Trees Children's Nursery Curriculum

Children’s independence and happiness are a big part of their learning. At Little Trees, we encourage them to have fun as a part of their education, with child-led activities which are adapted to their abilities and interests.

We follow two curriculums created by Education Scotland: Curriculum of Excellence and Realising the Ambition.

Realising the Ambition

Realising the Ambition has its roots in the simple principle of children being individuals.

This is often referred to as ‘being me from my earliest days’. At Little Trees we aim to treat every child as their own person, with their own goals, achievements and way of thinking, and it is our job to encourage them to flourish.

We do this through equipping them with the skills they need to thrive: executive function and self-regulation, communication and language, confidence, creativity and curiosity, movement and coordination, and self and social development.

Curriculum of Excellence

The Curriculum for Excellence is structured to enable each child or young person to be a successful learner, a confident individual, a responsible citizen and an effective contributor, both today and in every future stage of life.

There are eight areas to this curriculum that we take and teach in a way that is age appropriate for each child. These are: Expressive Arts, Health and Wellbeing, Language, Mathematics, Religious and Moral Education, Sciences, Social Studies and Technologies.

This curriculum only starts being taught from age three so does not apply to the younger members of our Little Trees family.
