Our Improvement Priorities
The nursery is committed to continually improving the quality of our work and the service we provide for children’s care and education. Every year we devise an improvement plan which sets out our focused priorities to improve our practice for the year ahead. In addition to this we will also collate an Education Perspective Report which summarises our strengths and next steps and parents receive a copy of our Standards and Quality report highlighting our achievements.
We use the following guidance and benchmarks to measure the quality of our work and plan improvements:
- How Good is Our Early Learning and Childcare (Education Scotland)
- Supporting Quality Improvement in Early Learning and Childcare (Care Inspectorate)
- Health and Social Care Standards
- Realising the ambition
Parents, children, staff, other agencies and the community are actively involved in self-evaluating and monitoring the quality of our work.
Inspections
Care Inspectorate
On a biannual basis we are inspected by Care Inspectorate- Social care and Social Work Improvement Scotland.
“SCSWIS is the new unified independent scrutiny and improvement body for care and children’s services and has a significant part to play in improving services for adults and children across Scotland. We regulate and inspect care services and carry out social work and child protection inspections. We are here to make sure that people receive the highest quality of care and that their rights are promoted and protected.”
Details of our latest inspection report along with our gradings can be found here.
HMIe
We will also be inspected by the HM Inspectorate of Education.
