Shaw Mhor Early Years Centre

The Establishment and the Community

We aim to co-operate and contribute to local community groups and events whenever possible. As part of our curricular planning we aim to foster good citizenship and care for our environment by encouraging the children to participate in Eco based learning experiences. We are joined weekly by a parent volunteer who provides the children with a workshop within the campus' shared Eco Garden. The children have opportunities to learn and develop Eco skills such as planting, caring for the environment and the world around us.

Care Home

Each month a group of children participate in visits to the local care home. The children engage with the residents, sharing stories and taking part in a variety of activites and expereinces organised by both the nursery and the care home. These visits allow the children to build relationships with the residents and recent feedback shares the positive impact these visits have on both the children and residents. 

Services within the Community

All children in their pre-school year will be invited to participate in a dental health and visual screening programme in partnership with NHS Scotland. You will be informed if your child needs treatment. There is a Health Clinic at Pollokshaws and an organisation called Homestart in Shawbridge Street which helps support parents with young children. There is also a DSS office in Coustenholm Road.
