Both my children loved going here and have loved it since they started. They had been through all rooms and made friends with all the children in the community. It was such a sad time when they had to leave. Staff are really lovely.

I'm so glad we chose to put our wee boy to the Croft in Stonehaven.
We get regular updates each day when we collect him on what he's been doing activity wise, meals, sleeps etc.
He happily just goes to the staff at drop off which shows he is comfortable with everyone.
We always feel welcome at
pick up, like they are never rushing us out. The meals they serve are varied which helps us at home.
The garden area is very large so there's plenty room for the kids to play/run around on the nicer days.
The staff are lovely aswell!

I can testify that Beech House Nursery is one of the best so far. I don't regret bringing my child to this nursery. He has improved on his speech, development and interaction with his peers. Thank you for the dedication care and comment to our little ones.

My daughter started the Croft this year from a previous nursery and she has settled in really well, she loves all of the staff, they are so friendly and caring. My daughter loves going for walk with them and playing out in the garden. The nursery always has an activity to do with the children. I would
highly recommend

This is our second time coming back to this nursery, first it was with my son who is now 8 and now back with my daughter who is 3. Beech House is a great place, lovely staff and my daughter loves it. When she first came to Beech House Nursery she was quiet and shy but she is now beginning to come out
of her shell, gaining some confidence and starting to engage with others. Lovely nursery with a beautiful garden that has recently been renovated and my daughter enjoys playing in the new garden. Overall excellent place and I would definitely recommend.

My child always enjoys going to nursery and participating in all the activities they arrange.
The staff are also very welcoming and very informative about the day when collecting. The app is a good idea as well as its regularly update with observations as well as the daily dairy.

We are delighted with the care and support our children have received from being at the nursery since 9months old right up to the out of school club age (7&9), All staff are very friendly and approachable and always happy to help. Our children love the Croft especially playing football in the garden
and making long bracelets with the loom bands. Staff have always been very responsive to our children's individual needs and given support when needed. We can't fault the Croft at all and we always recommend to family and friends. Keep up the great work!!

My daughter started at the Croft in September and she absolutely loves it. She reaches out for staff upon arrival and isn't sad when we leave her. I feel she is very included and feel the staff care about her. Her development has come on so much since starting. I can go to work and know she's so well
looked after! Thank you all so much :)

My daughter started at The Croft in April 2025 and I couldn't be happier with the care she has received. They have got to know her really well and it's lovely to see staff members from the older rooms also know her by name. The staff members are kind and enthusiastic and also provide you with a wee
update on their day on top of the information available in the app. The team are always accommodating and responsive when it comes to booking extra sessions or responding to emails. My daughter has gone from crying at every drop off and refusing to eat in nursery to running away from me at pick up and frequently having seconds!

Our son started at the Croft in August 2025. Our experience so far has been great, he had a settling in period which allowed him to get use to being at nursery and he has been enjoying it ever since. The staff are fantastic and give us an update of how the day has gone when we pick him up. Our son loves
being outside and the Croft has a great outdoor area which he loves being in. After 3 months I now go to pick him up and he wants to show me what he has been doing and doesn't want me to take him home which shows me he is comfortable and enjoying being there!

My son absolutely loves the activities and visits to the community. From forest school to the beach and at Christmas the panto trip. The staff are friendly, warm and great staff to child ratios.
We have especially been enjoying the activities put on by the nursery for special events and inviting parents
in.

The nursery room my child is in always appears to have high hygiene standards and the activities and toys provided for the children are safe and age appropriate.
All staff members know my child well and are able to communicate on a daily their needs, wants and interests. They are professionally and
appropriately affectionate which makes leaving my child in the care of staff members easier as I'm reassured they make my child feel known and safe.
Recently there has been an increase in social media posts showing the diverse range of learning activities my child is offered. It is also lovely to see photos of the children interacting together.
I believe the nursery have done the best with the small concrete outside area they have, with lots of opportunities to get messy and play with different toys than those offered inside, it is just unfortunate they don't have more space or more green. Thankfully opportunities to get out in the community do provide further enriching outdoor experiences.

The Croft is an amazing nursery! Both of our boys have attended the Croft and both loved it. With the recent changes in ownership and management it's improving all the time. We couldn't be happier with the personalised level of care and feel very happy that our little boy is in such a safe and nurturing
environment.
Reply from Fraser Sangster, Nursery Manager at The Croft Nurseries - ChapeltonThank you for taking the time to review our nursery. It is lovely to see you have had a positive experience. Its great to hear that you value the individual care given to your children and you find our environments safe and nurturing.

Having been too and looked at other nurseries, nothing has felt more, home like than this one, the warm presence of staff is very noticeable.
After viewing the nursery and speaking with staff it felt like Nonna's were running the nursery.
And leaving the the most precious thing in my world with
someone who feels like a grandmother just feels safe.
And any worries soon went away after collecting my little boy after his first day at Nursery, he was so happy and it was pure joy to find a place where he is happy.
Days have turned into weeks. Weeks have turned into months, and each day is the same, my little boy wants to be here, he's happy playing with toys and running around in a big garden.
Trying to get my Boy out of nursery is a little difficult he will run back in while I'm trying to walk out, he is happy here, and im happy he's doing well and meeting all his targets and development.
Highly Recommend

Staff have been brilliant at helping our little one settle into nursery. Baby room and outdoor space at nursery is great. Love how they get them out for walks and outside area as much as possible when nice weather. She's now running into nursery so has built the trust with the girls there and we have
no worries with how she is getting on during the day. She's also eating and napping pretty good which has made such a difference compared to when she first started.

I am pleased to say that my child loves nursery. The staff are very understanding, patient and capable and its great that there are so many years of experience among them. My little one has been in the baby room.sunce he was 8 minths and I was so nervous about taking him so young but he settled straight
in. It makes me happy that he's as happy to go to the members of staff there as he is to me.

We are really happy with the nursery experience we have had so far with Croft Chapelton. Really welcoming staff and management. We have noticed great progress and development in our 2 year old daughter who started going to nursery when she was 14 months old.

I am happy with the support the Croft gave me with my daughter when she was going through a bad phase. All the support they have given my daughter when she has surgery and her recovery. My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery she even asks to go on the weekend.
