My son started this nursery in June and I cannot recommend it enough. They have such a lovely approachable staff team who are kind and caring and knowledgable. My son gets so many activities in the time he spends and I can tell the staff really care for the children. It is also a beautiful play space
and I adore that my son gets on regular outings to the local community, including getting to see the lambs. I cannot wait for my son to spend his whole journey in this nursery. Management are also well involved in my child's care and are approachable and respond to emails in a timely manner. Cannot recommend enough :)

Great nursery with lovely caring staff and a nice caring environment to play and learn.
The food is good with good healthy options.
My little girl loves it here and the outdoor experiences. One of the reasons we chose it was for the Forest school which has given my child a love of the outdoors.

We've been really happy with Arnhall since day one. Our older son absolutely loves going. The activities provided, as well as the opportunity for outdoor activity are really great and keep him entertained as a really active, busy toddler. We have recently started our younger son and didn't hesitate
at all with deciding this. The staff are warm, thoughtful and welcoming and have helped him settle so well. It's lovely to receive photo updates and the communication from staff throughout the day has been exemplary.

I can't recommend Arnhall enough. My little one has been there since 13months and will be 4 in September. The outdoor space is second to none and my little one thrives here. She is cared for so much by all the staff . My little gets to interact with all the classes in the nursary broadening her skills
on how to interact with kids of all ages. It really is a fantastic nursary .

Our son started nursery in January and we cannot rate Arnhall day nursery highly enough. It is an incredible setting with lovely outdoor space and forest/woodland nearby, as well as plenty of indoor activities that our son enjoys.
The staff are always attentive, helpful and welcoming. Our son happily
The staff are always attentive, helpful and welcoming. Our son happily
toddles in and this is so reassuring for us; knowing he is happy and also in great hands.
The communication from staff is great and we love the updates on his age and stage with comments and photos of him and his peers.
The option for early drop off and late pick up is also invaluable for us as gives flexibility for our working patterns.

My son loves going to nursery. The staff and management team have been amazing with him helping him settle into nursery. The nursery provides lots of opportunities for the children to be outside and explore which my son loves to do!

Genuinely delighted with the care my daughter receives here. We recently relocated to the area and transitions can be tricky but Arnhall helped my child settle in really quickly. They are also on top of her allergies completely. It feels like she's really come on since starting.

Arnhall is a fantastic nursery with great staff. My daughter started in the baby room and is now in one of the oldest rooms. Each room has great facilities for kids and it has been great to see my daughter develop over the past few years. She has become more confident and looks forward to going to nursery
every day. All the staff are so welcoming and have great relationships with the kids, you can see they all care. I would recommend Arnhall to everyone, it really is a fantastic place.

We have been looking for months for a suitable nursery for our son before finding out about Arnhall at one of the mom groups I was attending. This is by far the best nursery around the Stirling area. The children get plenty of time outdoors and have access to the garden and nearby forest. Our son has
been really happy and integrated well. The staff are really friendly and always keep us updated about his progress. They have also helped a lot with his potty training which is amazing.

Arnhall Nursery has been amazing to both my children. They are really careful and know every individual. The amount of activities outdoors they promote it's great. I can see my two kids thriving over the years. I would definitely recommend them if you live in the area.

Our child has just started at Arnhall (as of January 2025) and the staff have been amazingly supportive with his settling in. We really appreciate the clear and open communication, either by phone or through the app and feel confident that he is well looked after. We're looking forward to seeing how
he develops in the fun and nurturing environment that is Arnhall Nursery.

My child has been at Arnhall for over a year and a half now and is thriving. The atmosphere is fun and creative and they spend loads of time outside in nature which was really important to us when looking for a nursery. The staff know my child really well and work well with us to support him.

Brilliant all round! The staff are wonderful, intelligent and attentive. Kids are learning well and outside every day. Use three of the rooms at the moment and am very impressed with them all, preschool especially.

My 3-year-old son attends Arnhall Nursery. He has been at home with me since he was born so the transition to nursery for him was tough but with the kindness, patience and amazing support of the Arnhall team he now bounces in every day with no tears and is happy to leave me - something I didn't think
was going to happen which is a testament to the nursery. I cannot praise Arnhall enough, the staff are fantastic and the nursery itself has everything our little ones would ever need. The great outdoor area is such a bonus.

Arnhall is a great nursery, with caring staff who go above and beyond to create a welcoming and nurturing experience for children.
I particularly like the strong emphasis on outdoor time and play in the forest.

Started a few months ago when he was 10 months old, he loved it from the get-go. Staff are amazing, separate room for naps, plenty of outdoor activity. All healthy food as well! We've really seen a progress in him since he started.

The nursery has been fantastic. They really helped settle my child in. She loves going and playing with her friends including her big nursery friends (the room staff!). The outdoor facilities are excellent as is forest school which they make sure all of the older children are able to attend once a week.
