A CITY nursery has received a first-class report from education inspectors.
Whiteinch Nursery is now one of the best in Glasgow, having earned one "excellent" grade and four "very good" scores.
Education watchdogs also praised the centre for its "independent", "considerate" and "co-operative" children.
Headteacher Janette Belcher said: "What stood out for me was the comments about our literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing. These are the core elements of Curriculum for Excellence so I'm really pleased we were commended for those."
The nursery, whose pupils speak 28 languages, was praised by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education for its high standards of literacy.
The report also said children with English as an additional language were developing their skills in English language at a better than expected pace.
Staff were also praised for providing a caring environment for pupils who need extra help, and parents were hailed for their support.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
