Heads of Ayr Nursery

My grandson shows me around the nursery when I visit, and wow the outdoor play area is fabulous for young explorers, rich in sensory sounds, sights and colours, and great for developing the gross motor skills. My grandson continues to progress in every aspect of his development.

I would recommend the nursery to everyone.

A fabulous setting in which children are challenged and supported to grow and develop through exploration of the natural word. The relationship between the staff and the children is clearly very strong and a testament to the hard work they put in.

Thank you to all the team including the chef as well

My Son has been attending the nursery for over a year now, starting when he had just turned 2 and in the Sunshine Room, and now 3 and in the Rainbow Room.

From the moment you walk through the front door you are met by one of the fabulous team who are always personable and cheerful, and I can honestly say that about every member of staff. They are genuinely invested in the individual care of the children and celebrate their successes.

Both indoor and outdoor spaces are excellent. I love that most of their time is spend outdoors as that is right up my Sons street. The encouragement that the children receive to be independent is telling as my Son can now dress for the outdoors himself confidently.

The opening hours of the nursery are great as they have allowed me to continue with my 9-5 job without any need to change my hours.

I highly recommend Heads of Ayr to all friends.

My son has been attending HOA nursery for 18 months and he loves it. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and caring. I will be sending my younger child once they are old enough to attend.

The nursery is in a great setting and I love that my son is able to spend lots of time outdoors. The nursery has great activities and my son has developed so much since he started attending.

I would recommend the nursery to anyone looking at the best place for their child

My son attends this nursery and it is absolutely fantastic! The staff are exceptional and the facilities are the best I have ever seen in a nursery. He loves attending and enjoys the outside space and seeing all the animals. I wouldn't want to send him anywhere else.

Heads of Ayr is a wonderful nursery, the setting is wonderful and the staff make full use of the benefits it provides to the children.

The staff are loving and caring towards the children and form strong bonds with them. They are incredibly supportive of the children and their families especially during trickier times.

The nursery holds family events during the year and engage with parents a significant amount. It's very easy to forget they are the teachers and carers of your child and not your friend you've known for ages.

The chef is outstanding and clearly cares deeply about ensuring the children get a balanced, varied and fun diet.

My son started Heads of Ayr Nursery back in September 2025 when he turned 2 and I have to say it's been the best choice I have made for my son's development and social skills. He loves coming to the nursery every morning, he has grown very attached to all the girls who work in the Nursery. He has came on leaps and bounds since starting the nursery with words and counting that he never knew before, as well as his eating skills, and trying new foods he never normally would try at home. Every day I get to see what he has been up to and any mile stones he has achieved being at nursery & it just shows every day how much he is enjoying being there with his friends and the staff, I have such peace of mind knowing how well he is cared for when he is at the nursery. I cannot thank them enough. Aeron loves to go outside and get as messy and dirty as possible where as before he would freak out at being dirty which is a massive mile stone for us getting over that. I could keep going..

Thanks again for all that you do for us and the care and support you show our little ones.

My little girl has been attending this nursery for the past two years, and my son started a few months ago as well. I honestly cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

With very little support around us for childcare, it has been absolutely invaluable to have a place and a team of staff that I genuinely trust. Knowing my children are safe, happy, and cared for means everything. The staff are warm, nurturing, and truly invested in each child - my children absolutely adore them.

They learn so much every day and are constantly coming home with new skills, stories, and confidence. They never want to leave at pick-up time, which says it all! I also love how much time they spend outdoors - they're outside all the time, exploring, playing, and thriving.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a special nursery.

My daughter has been going to the nursery for three years and I can't speak highly enough of it! The staff and the environment they create have helped shape my daughter's experience. We absolutely love the amount of time spent outdoors and having freedom of play as well as the activities and themes of learning set up for the kids. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds in every part of her development with the help of Heads of Ayr Nursery and I would highly recommend it to everyone with young children!

Overall our experience has been great. All staff are very approachable and informative. Our son always has a great experience and enjoys telling us about his day. All food menus and learning outcomes are very well thought-out and ensure family are involved.

Heads of Ayr nursery is the best!

My son previously went to another local nursery before age 2 and the difference is just night and day! The facilities are perfect and the place is just so bright, clean and welcoming. I genuinely rave about Heads of Ayr to anyone I can. I have found my son has come on leaps and bounds since he started in February, totally out his shell and speech has developed massively! Considering this is a boy that used to be ripped off me hysterical on the nursery run I just can't believe the difference.

The girls in the sunshine room are so approachable and couldn't be more helpful with anything I have asked. I love the app and seeing what they get up to day to day. Delighted that my child will be able to stay here until he starts p1. Thanks again everybody!

All the staff here are just fantastic. They have an incredible bond with my child. The chef makes the best food, and I can't believe he now eats chicken curry and fish enchiladas! I can't speak highly enough of the heads of Ayr nursery from the facility to the staff, it truly is first class

I can't rate the nursery enough, my wee boy was quite unsettled when he started and the staff were amazing, taking into account his interests and ensuring they had toys/resources to support him to have smoother transitions into nursery. He's also a fussy eater and I feel as though the staff go above & beyond to try and cater to his food choices.

My daughter has attended Heads of Ayr Nursery for 18 months now (and my son previously attended for 3 years) and during that time I have seen the nursery grow and develop and become a vital and special part of my children's lives as well as my own. The staff are second to none, and always go above and beyond for the children, and provide them with lots of great opportunities and interesting learning experiences throughout their day. From visits from the police, fire brigade, sports coaches and library bus, to raising and hatching butterflies, creating exciting mud slides, hunting escaped dinosaurs and building obstacle courses, the childrens' days are packed with fun and adventure. Every staff member knows my daughter well and takes the time to talk to her and show an interest in her thoughts, feelings and experiences. These relationships don't end when the children move on, my son is still made to feel 'part of the family' when he visits with his sister, despite being in school now.

Thank you so much.

My second child is now attending Heads of Ayr Nursery and the experience he is being offered is second to none. The staff know my child extremely well and take time to engage with him and his special interests. All members of staff are welcoming, nurturing and work as a team to foster the lovely positive ethos which is evident from the moment you step inside. The outside space is wonderful and utilised so well for outdoor learning. There is no other Nursery like this around and I am so grateful my children have had the opportunity to flourish here.

Fantastic nursery, its a blessing to have a place like that for our children. The staff is very kind and passionate about their job and the kids really enjoy being there. The space and atmosphere is lovely.
