**Purposes:** &#x27;the advancement of education&#x27;,&#x27;the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage&#x27;

**What the charity does:** The 7 principles of curriculum design are considered within our planning to prepare the children with skills for learning in life, adding depth in literacy, numeracy and health and well-being.   We plan to provide a language rich environment for the children throughout our setting. Our learning and teaching is very much influenced by the children and it is active and engaging.  The children’s learning journals and care plans make sure they are nurtured and parent/carers wishes followed.  Learning intentions and success criteria are shared with children and they are very much involved in evaluating their learning.  Next steps are identified in Health and Well-being, Literacy and Numeracy from children, parent and staff. Ethos and life of the playgroup, Curriculum areas and topics, learning and personal achievement opportunities are all at the heart of our planning.

**Objectives:** Aims and Objects:- To provide in the interests of social welfare a good environment for babies and children up to the age for five by providing mothers of such children means of alleviation of stress by mutual  support where such support is not readily available from within the community and by providing play facilities for the children in which the mothers can participate as will improve the physical and intellectual development of the children and strengthen the relationship between mother and child, and generally to act in accordance with and in furtherance of the aims of the Scottish Pre-School Association.
