Aims

At Auchinairn EYC, we believe that everyday is an opportunity to learn and that
learning is everywhere. We are dedicated to creating a nurturing and supportive
environment where children are cherished, and their voices are heard. We
actively engage both children and families in our efforts to constantly enhance
the service.

We aim:

• To build strong relationships with families, working in partnership to support each child’s development
• To provide a safe, loving, and stimulating environment that promotes
  emotional security and well-being
• To nurture confident, independent learners through play, exploration, and
  positive interactions
• To promote kindness, empathy, and cooperation in every aspect of nursery
  life
• To respect and reflect each child’s home and family culture, making all
  families feel welcomed and included.
• To support transitions – from home to nursery and beyond, with care and
  compassion
• To foster a FAMILY feel – where every child feels valued and every parent
  feels connected
