Lauder Nursery is a Scottish Borders Council (SBC) nursery.
This means that SBC and national policies regarding the Curriculum, Equal
Opportunities, Health and Safety and Complaints procedures apply, as do
some school policies and aspects of organisation where appropriate. The
work of all SBC nurseries is based on the Scottish Office Guidelines ‘A
Curriculum Framework for Children 3 to 5’ (SCCC, 1999) and ‘The Child at
the Centre’ (SEED, 2000).
There are no catchment area
restrictions for entry to nursery. However catchment area rules do apply
for entry to Primary One and it should not be assumed that because a child
living outwith the catchment area has had a nursery place that a school
enrolment is guaranteed. Please ask at school for further information.

The nursery
was added to Lauder Primary School in 1998 and is accommodated in a
temporary unit in the school playground. The nursery can accommodate 20
children in the morning and 20 children in the afternoon. At present the
nursery caters for pre-school and ante pre-school children. The nursery is
a part of the school and we take opportunities to promote and develop
links. Nursery children make use of school facilities such as the hall and
take part in some school events e.g. assemblies and pupils’ concerts.
School staff visit the nursery and may work with the children from time to
time. Most nursery administration is carried out from the school office,
such as collating information forms, banking money, distributing letters
etc. As the parent or carer of a child attending nursery you are
automatically a member of the Parent Forum and you will be invited to
attend meetings and events organised throughout the year.
Visits are organised within the
community and links exist with the community police officer, health
centre, dental services etc as well as with educational services such as
Speech and Language specialists.
Starting nursery is an exciting and challenging experience
for children. Staff at Lauder Nursery are always available to help, offer
support and to answer any questions you may want to ask. Our aim is to
make your child’s first experience of nursery a happy and enjoyable
experience and to make him/her secure and comfortable in the nursery
environment. |
