Currie Primary Nursery has two large open plan rooms and a large outdoor space which children use daily. We use a Play Based Learning approach and respond to pupil voice through responsive planning to enhance learning and teaching through the Curriculum for Excellence. We promote and provide high quality and engaging learning experiences for all children, whilst encouraging a love of learning.

We encourage children to be aware of themselves and others while developing themselves as global citizens. We encourage curiosity and teach skills to adapt to an ever changing world. We have strong partnerships with parents/carers, partner services and agencies and the wider community, and our ethos is linked to our school Mission, Vision and Values.
