At Cargifield, learning is an everyday adventure!
Cargilfield Nursery, for children aged 3 to 5, is a unique setting that provides a caring, stimulating and safe environment in which all children are given the tools to thrive. Here we encourage independence, creativity and curiosity and foster children to develop a positive self-image and confidence. We endeavour to guide each child to gain important life skills, finding and exploring their passions to enable them to reach their full potential. We pride ourselves on our child centered approach in which we provide effective teaching, responsive learning and high-quality provision in a range of enriching settings. Equality, manners and inclusion are our core values at Cargilfield and these in combination with our nursery experience provide the children with the solid foundations they need for their onward journey through the school.

What Makes Us Different
At Cargilfield Nursery, these pillars create a unique and nurturing foundation where children can flourish. Through a balance of play, exploration, and structured learning, we prepare every child for a confident, happy, and successful start to their school life.
The developmental milestones matrix is a tool split into four parts; Communication, Thinking skills, Motor skills and Relationships. It is used by the nursery staff to track each child’s individual progress in terms of development.
We update the developmental milestone grids termly and they provide a detailed overview of each child’s development and allow staff to tailor teaching and support to each individual child.
Here is our Developmental milestone matrix. You can hear more about this by listening to our podcast on the topic.
