Bright Horizons First Class Day Nursery and Preschool, located in a very quiet area of Airyhall, has been carefully designed to support your child’s education and development, from 3 months to 5 years.
The nursery in Airyhall, Craigiebuckler is conveniently located with excellent transport links to the Aberdeen city centre. It has its own car park and is within walking distance of Airyhall Primary School.
The nursery offers a warm, welcoming environment supporting the transition from home to nursery, and excellent nutritionally-balanced menus using fresh ingredients prepared by the chef. The nursery is located in the grounds of The James Hutton Institute, which is surrounded by woodlands for children to explore.
With access to three separate gardens, your child will have daily access to their very own secret garden, duck pond and vegetable plot. The team loves encouraging children to explore all of their favourite extracurricular activities and this abundance of outdoor space gives them room to learn, play and develop their love of the outdoors.
In addition, they practise a Growing Enhancement programme unique to Bright Horizons, further giving your child the inspiration and confidence to explore subjects such as mathematics, art, reading and writing well ahead of their journey into school.
The experienced team would love to meet you and your family. Book a visit today and they will show you everything the nursery has to offer during your own personal tour.

Since joining Bright Horizons, our son has come on so much and is always so excited to get into nursery. He gets on so well with the staff, and the food must be good because he always seems to eat here and not at home!

First class has been amazing for not only my daughter but myself also. I was very nervous to put my child into childcare but she has absolutely thrived since the minute she started. Staff completely made me feel at ease.

Our daughter joined Bright Horizons First Class Nursery in August 2024. In just 1 year; we could notice an amazing increase in her confidence and she truly enjoyed attending Nursery. The staff have been amazing at supporting her learning and development - especially preparing for P1. They made her feel at home, built lasting relationships and I'm sure she will remember her time @ FIRST CLASS for years to come. As parent we could HIGHLY recommend this Nursery! It has been her home away from home; where she felt loved and supported throughout. Thank you to the AMAZING team of Educators, we appreciate your time, effort and enthusiasm for our daughter her peers immensely!
