My son, now 3.5, has been with Scallywags for 2 years. He has gone from the baby room to Caterpillar then Butterfly area and each transition has been organised to suit his abilities/needs with no stress or upset to him.
The staff are always warm, welcoming and get to know each child's family and
support network well. Their connection and rapport with the children is lovely to see.
My son loves the food at Scallywags which is prepared fresh on site. More often than not he will have 2 servings at lunchtime (this never happens with my cooking). The menu variety, snacks and activities involving food (allotment visits etc) has made my son a very well balanced and healthy eater.
I can't fault the management either. They have shown great empathy and understanding into my personal and financial circumstances which emphasise the approach at Scallywags is definitely not a one size fits all.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for local childcare.

I have been a member of the Scallywags ‘family’ for over 6 years, my first attended from the age of 9 months and now my daughter is there.
I can’t recommend this service enough. Staff are amazing with the children, and have created a wonderful, loving environment, where the children have safety and
freedom to grow and explore.

My daughter has attended Scallywags for 1 year now and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Staff are excellent, show a good effort to take children outdoors and involve them in a variety of different learning topics. The catering facilities seem good enough and offer the children a variety of different
foods. The nursery has a good sized outdoor play area also that the children love. All in all, I believe this to be an extremely friendly, safe and well-run nursery.

My son attends two full days a week. As he is 3, I use most of his paid for hours and top up payments myself. I've found this to be much handier than a school nursery where he would have an afternoon place.
The staff here are super friendly and will chat with you when you collect your child and pass

My son is a very fussy eater, but the staff are very helpful and will work around his eating habits and adapt where they can.
They do trips to the parks and the local beach on a rota, which my son loves.
He has no problems leaving me at the door in the morning and there is always a member of staff to welcome us.

My son is my second child to attend Scallywaggs nursery and he is thriving there! He particularly loves the outdoor area doing “gymnastics” which staff have developed in the area, he also loves exploring the garden and bug hunting! He doesn’t stay for lunch but he loves his daily snacks and he is encouraged
to try new foods.
The staff have a great relationship with the children and my son is excited to go to nursery every day and sing hello to all his friends!
The nursery also has great communication with parents! The staff always take the time to tell you about your child’s day, there’s a private Facebook page where photos can be shared and they are very good at emailing with any information we might need!
I would highly recommend this nursery!

This is an amazing nursery. My daughter is now in her third year of attending on a full-time basis and she absolutely loves it. Every member of staff is approachable and friendly, they provide educational and fun activities both indoor and outdoor for the children. She loves every one of the nursery
teachers and has a fun filled day with all her little friends. I would not hesitate in recommending Scallywags to anyone looking for daycare for their children.

Scallywags is a great nursery. Staff are all so friendly and approachable. They are there to help answer any question you have and they always make time to chat to you.
My son loves going there, he's made some good friends and he loves all the staff and will chat away about his day.

He's come on
great since starting there it's incredible the difference in him with speech and everything. I can't recommend the nursery enough, it's a great place for the children.
If you are looking for a nursery definitely give scallywags a look!

We have two children that have attended Scallywags from age 1 until their transition into primary school. Both children have had a great experience at Scallywags and enjoyed their time there. The nursery has dedicated outdoor space and also takes the older children on walks around the town and excursions
to local parks, etc. Food is cooked on site and although neither of our children is a fussy eater, they have been very happy with the food and snacks they received at the nursery. I would highly recommend Scallywags to any parents looking for a nursery in the Carnoustie area.
