Activities
'It carries out activities or services itself'
'the advancement of education'
Springholm Nursery was established to meet a clear local need for high-quality, affordable early learning and childcare within the Springholm community. The nursery was set up as a community-based, not-for-profit service with the primary purpose of benefiting children and families, rather than generating profit. Its aims are to provide a safe, inclusive and stimulating environment where children can develop socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively, while supporting parents and carers to access employment, training and education. Springholm Nursery also seeks to strengthen community connections, work in partnership with local services and ensure all children are given the best possible start in life, regardless of background or circumstance.
Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people'
Objectives: The aim of the group is to engage our children in high quality learning experiences by creating an environment indoors and outdoors for all the children. We aim to provide a safe environment for all the children to learn, play and develop ensuring excellence and equality for all learners. We aim to develop a culture of ambition and achievement by promoting high expectation using current Scottish guidelines. In furtherance of the above aims the group shall seek: (a) To encourage parents and children of the group to participate in charitable activities to support the nursery and development of the children. (b) We aim to work together with parents as partners supporting their families and develop an active role in the community.
