About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Overall Experience
My daughter loves this nursery and speaks about her teachers all the time. The girls have a lot of time for the kids and explain everything to us mums when we pick them up. They are always up to exciting things. And she can't wait to go to her class and see everyone.

Overall Experience
Since the nursery has been taken over I won't lie, there have been some teething problems but these have been dealt with effectively by the new manager. Overall, attending buoys and gulls has been a very positive experience for my daughter.

Our son is happy to go into nursery, we love reading about his day. He gets varied forms of play and gets healthy meals which is important to us. Our son has been there since 2016; initially there wasn't much outdoor play which was disappointing. However as the weather improved he seems to be outside every day and at a parents evening the nursery advised it is going to be pushing outdoor play in the future which is reassuring. Communication is good; along with the paper journals we get emails and events are posted at the entrance. We used to get monthly newsletters but missed May - this may be to do with change of management.
We look forward to receiving the newsletters and would like the online journals to be set up for the baby room; appreciate they are looking into this. We prefer that photos are posted via online journals as opposed to Facebook. We welcome the fact that the baby garden space is to be renovated. A separate sleeping room for the baby room would be an asset to the nursery.

Our Daughter is 3yrs old and has attended Buoys and Gulls since she was 15 months old. She has gone through the baby Room to the 2's room and is now in the 3-5 room.
Like all parents who use a facility like this we fell into a bit of a rut of just seeing it as a babysitting service so we could get stuff done, but it isn't.... it really isn't. Whenever our Daughter has transitioned from one room to another we have been given very detailed reports to look back through and it was a surprise to us to see just how much education was going on too. We thought it was us parents doing a great job but the staff at Buoys and Gulls really pay close attention to their development and help them along.
Our Daughter has really blossomed since she went there, as an only child and with no other kids in our street we really wanted her to spend time with other kids and she is now one of the most sociable kids I have ever seen.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend B&G's to anyone looking for first class care.

My son loves coming to the nursery, he gets excited driving through to boddam and gets excited seeing his friends and teachers! This puts me as a mum at ease knowing that he's enjoying it, I love the fact that he's outdoors nearly every session and he loves coming to nursery and being with his friends and teachers. We love seeing his progress on the online journals and his dad loves the fact that he can look at this whilst he's offshore. Would highly reccomend this nursery to friends and family

My daughter always comes home happy from nursery, full of news about the fun she's had and what she's been doing. I would highly recommend Buoys and Gulls Nursery, especially now it has changed managers.
