About Us

At Oban's 1st Steps Nursery we believe that every child is unique and should be at the centre of our practise.

We use recommended national guidance from the Pre-Birth to Three, Curriculum for Excellence, National Care Standards and The Child at the Centre to inform on our planning for each and every child. For further information on these documents please visit the websites by following the links below:

The Keyworker System

Each child has a nursery nurse who is responsible for passing on and receiving information on a regular basis. They also maintain and update records of development on each of their children. These records are available to parents at any time, including parent's evenings.

Our qualified staff are trained in first aid and child protection procedures. A first aid book is kept in each room. Parents sign a 'loco parentis' and registration form detailing any particular needs for their child.

It is central to the philosophy of the nursery that all staff should be very positive at all times towards the children, towards each other and towards the nursery.
