Day Nurseries Owned by CC Nurseries Group in West Lothian

I cannot recommend this nursery and its staff highly enough. They take great care of the children in their care and this is apparent in the way the children react to them. They listen to parents and go above and beyond to accommodate every child's needs

My son has settled in well after starting after Christmas. Staff always make us feel welcome and share how he developing on the online platform. His key worker has introduced herself and said if there's anything I need information about or any questions just to ask. The room leader always lets me know how his day has gone. My son always seems happy when I arrive to collect him and seems to be involved in lots of play opportunities that meet his developmental needs.

It's a brilliant nursery the staff are are so lovely and caring to all children. They do loads of activities in and out of the nursery and my granddaughter is thriving All the food is provided in the price to and great opening hours with early openings to if required.

Ava officially started at Big Bird Nursery in January this year, but had some settling sessions in December, always good feedback from the staff saying "its like shes always been here" staff have been really lovely to work with as Ava has language & comunication delay at the moment. They have put great support packages in place to help her thrive. She loves it here and is always looking forward to her nursery days, the staff are great with activites with the kids

I'm very happy we have chosen Big Bird Nursery for our son.. Everyone has been amazing and I can see my son loves it there.. he has been going to nursery since he was 5 months old and I see how well he has been developing.. the team is amazing and they keep me updated with everything.. and they are also very approachable..

We love Big Bird nursery. The staff are all so caring and friendly. There is a wide range of activities and resources and it's so lovely to get regular updates on what the children have been doing. The children get to explore the local area sometimes, which is really great. I would recommend Big Bird!

My daughter is thriving since starting in the little explorers room in big bird nursery. I can tell that she had built relationships with all of the staff and they are always caring and looking to support any way they can. I can't be happier with the care that she receives and as a family we know she is happy and safe when we leave her for the day. The daily updates on the app are also great so we know what she has been up to during the day. Thank you.

Our experience with Big Bird Nursery has been wonderful. When our son first started, he was shy and reluctant to go, but after a few months, he was a confident little boy who knew everyone's name and was happy to go in every day. The staff were always friendly and very accommodating with his allergies, as well as staying on top of any health concerns. A special thank you to Milly, his key worker, who formed such a special bond with him. He was always so happy to spend time with her. We always felt confident that he was in safe, caring hands, and he learned so much during his time there!

My daughter settled in very well and she's always looking forward to going to nursery

She's always happy at drop off and at pick up time, really pleased with the staff

Staff are so polite and nurturing towards my 2. As they are in care, they need a little extra and I feel that's what they're getting from the staff. Love the fact I get so much communication and I know how much they have eaten, how their nappies have been and what they have been doing.

Big Bird Nursery is a fantastic nursery. I have been blown away with my child's learning and development since moving to the pre-school room. Her creativity and willingness to try new things is amazing. She always comes home full of happy stories from her day. She is learning so many new things daily. The staff are always a pleasure to speak to and can't help you enough with any queries you may have.

I'm saddened to say Big Bird Nursery didn't work out for us. There weren't any major incidents but throughout our child's stay in the Tweenies and Preschool years (two years), I always felt like they hadn't developed a healthy attachment to their key worker or any of the other staff. The reality is the setting is too crowded and there's too little space, inside and outside, for the children to feel like it's a manageable environment for them. They never developed any close friendships and always shut down after coming home, never wanting to share about what had happened in their day. Their language wasn't improving, nor was their healthy socialisation skills, often coming home with more damaging behaviours than positive ones. After transferring to another nursery, it's like we have a different child. They come home calm and in a steady mood, keen to tell us about friends and activities they got up to. The setting is half the size and I think that's really working for them.

Fantastic childcare setting, well-equipped facilities and a wide range of activities available for the children, changed on a daily basis. My little girl has settled in brilliantly since starting in Jan 2023. The staff are all knowledgeable, caring and friendly. The all round progress I have witnessed since my little one started in the ‘Little Explorers’ room has been fabulous, she thoroughly enjoys her days. The app is a great communication tool for parents and can put your mind at rest with regard to aspects such as eating and naps. I should add that my son also attended Big Bird from 11 months old until he was 4 years old! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone considering childcare options.

Big Bird Nursery had been an amazing environment for our boy! He started his journey in September 2022 and is coming on so much with the help of the practitioners. He has developed in all aspects, from his speech to his coordination whilst learning problem-solving skills and showing his emotions in the right way. He has built relationships with peers and is thriving in a calm yet fun setting. I can’t wait to see how my little boy will continue to grow under the care of the brilliant staff!

All staff at the nursery are very welcoming and friendly and make you feel at ease. My daughter is in the little explorer room and loves going in each day to see what different activities are on offer. They ensure that she is always included by taking her out on local outings such as the library. The app is very useful and helps keep me up-to-date on my daughter's day at nursery. Would definitely recommend this nursery.

The staff were very compliant when we were having dietary issues with our child and communication between all staff was brilliant relating to any changes that needed to be made. I recommend the nursery to anyone considering it for their child.

I couldn’t recommend Big Bird Nursery enough to anyone looking for a nursery for their child. Since my son started in the Little Explorers room 5 months ago, I have seen such a massive difference in him. He has come on leaps and bounds and is absolutely thriving each day. The relationship he has built with all the staff is so heartwarming. You can really tell the staff in his room have so much love for the children and really care. The nursery has such a homely feel and all the staff within the nursery and management team are always so welcoming and really take the time to get to know you and your child. The app is a great way to communicate with the staff and always a place where you can find out about your child’s day. The nursery has a great outdoor space where my son can explore and also walks in the local community. It’s also great the nursery has an amazing cook on site preparing and cooking all meals and that the menu is sent out at the start of each week on the app.

My little girl has come on so much since starting nursery in August 2022 and I feel very happy leaving her there. The girls in little explorers are excellent and look after her needs in every way. I love seeing the updates on the app to see what she has been getting up to throughout the day. I highly recommend Big Bird Nursery to anyone considering using them.

My daughter loves attending Big Bird Nursery, she runs in every morning and doesn’t want to leave in the evenings. The staff are fantastic and they always update me on the learning that she has participated in that day. She has come on so much and that’s definitely down to the staff that work with her every day.

My daughter started at Big Bird in February as I returned to work, the girls have been absolutely fantastic! Not only has she developed a close bond with her key worker, but they all have taken the time to get to know her and help her settle really well. Even when not in nursery, she talks about them. The girls make the drop-off really easy and my daughter is quickly distracted with all the fabulous activities they have set up for the day. I love using the app to see what she has been up to for the day and how some days they go out on a walk, or visit the library and take part in Bookbug. My daughter is such a social wee thing and I can see how she has come on since starting at nursery. The weekly menu that also goes up is so helpful to see what new foods she is trying and also things I can then make for her at home. I would recommend Big Bird to anyone looking for a nursery for their wee one!
