Nursery Management: Case Study - Following the child

Providing enriching learning experiences and reflecting the individuality of communities are values Little Einstein's holds dear, writes Karen Faux.

Child-led activities have provided the inspiration for the design of Little Einstein's brand-new nursery in the heart of Glasgow's South Side.

In line with this, manager Leighann Bain says the company has avoided buying large pieces of outdoor equipment. 'The outdoor area will be comparatively empty,' she says. 'Instead, a lot of the resources we have indoors are designed to be taken outdoors as and when the children want to use them there. We will be installing a gazebo outside, which is ideal for the children to adapt to their own imaginative play. If they want to use climbing frames and other equipment there are plenty of parks we can visit nearby.'
