Tots & Toddlers
The (twice-weekly) Toddler group provides an invaluable link between the local community and our school. Parents of young children are able to meet whilst their children enjoy age-appropriate toys and activities. A relaxed and informal introduction to a new environment for small children.
- Refreshments available
- Access to our indoor heated swimming pool once a week for both toddlers and parents
An essential and thriving part of the school, the Early Years department caters for children from two years. Making the most of a young child's enthusiasm for discovery, the qualified and experienced staff channel this into constructive activity whilst maintaining a sense of excitement. Each child thus follows a structured approach to learning and play in a happy, colourful and caring atmosphere.
Pre-Nursery
Glenesk Pre-Nursery provides a valuable stepping stone to school life.
From the half-term prior to Nursery entry, children may attend Pre-Nursery. These groups are relatively small in number and children may attend two or three afternoons a week. They allow our very youngest children to feel at ease in the familiar surroundings of the Nursery and reassure parents that their children are settled before joining our Nursery at two years old.
Nursery
Our primary aim is to provide an environment that is both caring and inspiring. The Nursery sessions provide a balance of group and individual activities, each promoting a variety of skills. Taught by specialist teachers in Music, Drama and Creative Dance, the nursery children are predominantly learning through "play" with the provision of an assortment of pursuits and equipment that stimulate their natural sense of curiosity and excitement.
Glenesk recognises each child's individuality and we allow for a gradual increase in attendance each term.
- Parents may select from two to five mornings with or without lunch
- Afternoon sessions and a full-time option are also available
