Discover, play, and grow at a nursery in rural Airyhall near Aberdeen.
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.

Bright Horizons First Class Day Nursery and Preschool is a truly wonderful nursery. We have two children at the nursery with the intention of sending our third child. It is a very caring and nurturing environment for the children. We are so impressed with all the activities the children get to take part in and love hearing about the kids day at dinner time. The staff always go above and beyond and are so loving towards the children. Thank you for being such a wonderful, fun environment.

Bright Horizon First Class has been brilliant for my daughter starting nursery. They are always so helpful and will answer any questions. It has been a transition, settling in but slowly getting easier at drop off. Thank you especially to her key worker who has really helped.

The care and attention given to our child from age 9 months has been exceptional. The nursery staff have gone above and beyond in the education and early learning of our child. The communication has been excellent, and the use of the app has been amazing - especially when booking holidays and finding out meals for the day.
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you're pleased with the care and attention your child has received. It's great to know that the communication and app features have been helpful for you.
After 4 and a half years of being at First Class, we are so sad our son won't be there anymore. He has come on so much since starting there.

After 4 and a half years of being at First Class, we are so sad our son won't be there anymore. He has come on so much since starting there. Every member of staff has shown so much love and compassion to him and everyone has really put in a lot of work to help him grow and learn. They have made him who he is today. We have loved everything about the nursery, especially the outdoor fun and games they have, the new areas and the fantastic new experiences with helping in the kitchen. The food the kids receive is amazing and has helped with trying new foods. We are very proud to be a part of the First Class family.
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear how much your son has grown and enjoyed his time with us. It's wonderful to know that our staff and activities have made a positive impact. We'll miss him too and wish him all the best as he moves forward!
My child has enjoyed her time and always looks forward to going to nursery.

The level of care and attention is second to none. So far, my son's gone from being upset at going in, to walking in happily in about five weeks. He is starting to sit at the table for food and play.

The level of care and attention is second to none. So far, my son's gone from being upset at going in, to walking in happily in about five weeks. He is starting to sit at the table for food and play. Whenever I call for an update, there is always a welcoming and reassuring voice on the end of the phone and the same at drop off/pick up. The app isn't updated often, but I would imagine this is because the staff are giving 100% to our little ones in real life, which is most important to us.
My son started at First Class in September 2022. The staff were extremely welcoming and reassuring when settling my son in. He has no issues on drop-off and has settled in great. I love seeing his updates on the app and hearing about his day on pick-up.

My son moved here from another nursery and since August, his progression in learning, well-being and speech is surreal. For myself, as a single, separated mum, the help through staff over the phone, in regard to his placement, has been so helpful and with daily communication from all staff, is of a higher level than his first year of nursery.
