02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We have continued to work on strengthening our practice with particular focus on supporting children with additional support needs, our use of questioning and commentary and the use of planning, tracking and monitoring. We have continued to work on maintaining the environment to a high standard and recently had remedial works carried out in various areas across the nursery and we have also updated our fire system. We continue to have a high level of need across our cohort and are working hard on developing our processes for supporting this. This has included visits to and from Willowbank School and reviewing our Individual Learning Plan process to ensure it is fit for purpose. We've supported a new process for specialist Primary 1 placements which has had an impact on our role in securing these. We have participated in the local authorities quality scrutiny and have had no other inspection activity.
