Day Nurseries Owned by Thrive Childcare and Education in Stirling

at the end of each day advising what our child has been up to including the friends they've been playing with and the topics they've been doing activities around (currently the environment). There's a new social media page which is lovely to get a small glimpse into their day with little short video clips of snack time or whatever activity they've been doing. The staff are really caring and there's a great choice of activities for the kids to do as well as lots of outdoor play. We feel like the staff know our child really well and couldn't be happier with the level of care received. Would definitely recommend this nursery!

the children too. Our little girl loves her nursery days and we're already noticing her development has really come on since starting at Dunblane Nature Kindergarten. Very happy with our choice of nursery!

the first few weeks when drop offs were a bit difficult for us both.
He now absolutely loves going to nursery trotting in on his own with a big smile and waving bye bye. I have noticed his development come on leaps and bounds with eating independently, speech, walking etc. The staff are great at keeping me informed as to what they've been up to, eaten, slept everyday. I am so happy I chose this nursery as it has made going back to work much easier knowing my child is having a nice time and is in an environment that he is thriving in.

both in and outdoors.

that keep my child engaged and excited to learn each day. The staff are incredibly caring, always taking the time to provide attention to each child's needs. I appreciate how they maintain open communication with parents, keeping us informed about our child's progress and any special moments. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their little ones.

for his development. Play environments are also full of fun and they have a great exposure to play and activities outside the room which is fun to see. The amount of information we get from them is also useful, and help with dietary problems has helped. Did have some issues with communication earlier on and access to systems, but all gets resolved in good time.

the room to make sure it feels new and fun. I am so happy with our choice to send our son to DNK.

Our little boy absolutely thrives in this environment and it's a pleasure and joy to watch through Instagram updates.

The girls are so attentive and kind with all of the little ones and they always make time for a chat with the parents at drop off/pick ups.

Lovely bunch of staff and a fabulous nursery that we can't wait to introduce to our newest addition to the family!

there and I'd say the nursery has helped her loads with independent feeding, sleeping and play. I like that the staff are always happy to cuddle her and comfort her if needed too.

great to see my son develop over the past few years and now thriving in P1 due to the care and passion delivered from the team. All the staff are so welcoming and have great relationships with the kids and families, you can see they all care. I would highly recommend Dunblane Nature Kindergarten to everyone, it really is a fantastic place.

I found this nursery!

of close family which is lovely.
My youngest recently started and at just 1.5years it feels like a home from home environment where she receives great care. Her speech has came on greatly and loves to sing all the nursery rhymes. I couldn't say enough good things about this nursery and its staff, the children are so happy, the activities are well thought out and nature is a huge part of their daily learning. Would highly recommend.

excellent staff working in the rooms (we've experienced the toddler room and 3-5 room) they are friendly I feel they genuinely care about my son.
I would like to have a bit more regular and personalised updates about what my son is up to (beyond the handover at the end of each day), a nursery we were at previously had a good app so we got photos morning and afternoon each day, details on what had been eaten, details of nappy changes etc and there was a messaging function to communicate directly with the staff in the room. Something like this would really add value.

nursery to any prospective parents.
