Both my kids have been going to this nursery for last 10yrs and its great to see many of the staff are still there. The activities etc in the nursery are great and the manager has ensured there are extra curricular activities in all playrooms weekly some of which are included in the price- spanish, gymnastics at Bishopbriggs sport centre, french, drama, highballs low, Jo Jingles and more. The nursery manager is an inspiration and you can see the love she has for the nursery, her staff, the children and is constantly emailing asking for ways to get parents involved in aspects of the nursery.

Just recently put my son in this nursery. Absolutely delighted with the approach to care and development. Definitely excels in comparison to the other nursery he attended. You can tell the manager loves her job and is proud of her staff. The girls are very well experienced. Highly recommend this nursery in the bishopbriggs area.

My 6 grandchildren have been using this nursery over the last 12years and I think its amazing. They all love it and I have seen them all flourish and I think this is down to the exceptional care they receive from all the staff. Jodi the manager is a fantastic role model, she is so friendly and tries to accommodate all the needs of the families. Jodi and all the staff throughout the nursery know all the children and the children and know them too.
