Our Classes
"Play is the highest form of research" - Albert Einstein
Our Classes: Jelly Babies - our youngest, aged under 2
At Babes we have three classes: Jelly Tots - aged 2
Jelly Beans - aged 3-5
Each class has its own room, but for some activities we may combine classes, especially the Tots & Beans.
Our Care Inspectorate registration permits a maximum of 16 Babies and 34 combined Tots & Beans at any one time.

Curriculums: We follow the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence and the Pre-Birth to Three curriculum in our setting. These curriculums are the same as the ones taught in all schools thus allowing all children an equal start when it comes to progressing to Primary school.

Progress Journal:
We use an on-line system - ILD learning journals software - for recording a chronological timeline that captures every aspect of an individual child’s educational journey.
Each child has a unique record which is password-protected and accessible only to the child's parents/guardians.
Staff:
Staff to Children ratios are defined by Care Inspectorate, with at least 2 staff in attendance in each room at all times.
Ratios: Babies 1:3
Tots 1:5
Beans 1:8
We will always meet or exceed these requirements.
