Heads of Ayr Nursery

Heads of Ayr Nursery is fantastic all round. It is a new building and well kept, with wonderful outside play equipment which is where the children spend the majority of their time. Children's development is well supported including sharing, waiting their turn, eating meals together and becoming independent in daily life. Our daughter ate very well at nursery and we particularly appreciated the daily learning journal. In this app, we could review what happened during the day and what food / drink was consumed / nappy changes as well as having the opportunity to add parent comments to the journal. We also enjoyed the times where parents were invited into the nursery to share events, such as the Halloween walk, Christmas fayre and parent play sessions. The EY Practitioners are all wonderful with the children, my daughter loved her key worker a lot as well as the other girls and we appreciated how kind and patient our key worker was with our daughter. I recommend Heads of Ayr Nursery as an excellent choice.

My daughter has been attending heads of Ayr nursery for the past 18 months. She loves attending the nursery and have developed positive relationships with both staff and peers. The outdoor space at the nursery is amazing, the children enjoy 70/80% of their day outside playing in the natural environment with the animals nearby. The staff are great at keeping parents informed of the day’s adventures via the app and also during pick up and drop off. I am thankful my daughter has another year at the Heads of Ayr nursery before starting school.

They have their own chef who makes brilliant food and snacks and is very much part of the kids day at nursery. She always chats and laughs with the children. The staff are worth their weight in gold here. They genuinely care about the children and are so passionate about having fun and learning. My little one adores her key worker and that's very much reciprocated back. The warmth the staff have when telling you about their fab day at nursery is so reassuring. Other than the fab staff the other unique (and absolutely brilliant) key feature of the nursery is the outdoor space. It's so big with lots to do. It's beautiful and natural. There's no other nursery I know that has outdoor play space like it. They spend 70-80% outside. I love the focus on outdoor / play learning. I hate the thought of little ones cooped up in one room all day.

I couldn’t have chosen a better setting than Heads of Ayr Nursery! The setting is incredible and so engaging for the children. Since my daughter started in January 2020, her confidence has flourished and she has made lots of new friends. She absolutely loves the staff as well! Would highly recommend it.

Heads of Ayr Nursery is an Incredible nursery, my daughter loves it. Staff are great and my daughter comes home happy every day. The surroundings are beautiful and the kids get to spend a lot of time outdoors which is great.

I would highly recommend Heads of Ayr Nursery to any parent all the staff go above and beyond for my 3 year old and she loves all the staff, especially her key worker who she loves to bits and has an amazing bond with. The facilities are the best I've seen and it's very spacious, the garden/outdoor area is one of the best features and is what my daughter loves the most as it is much more advanced than any nursery I've seen, the space and all the equipment in it is of the highest of qualities. The food selection/chef is to the highest of standards and never disappoints, they even ask you in the forms what your child likes to eat so that if they don't want what is on the menu that day they have references to refer back to which in my knowledge is the only nursery to do so. The activities they have at the nursery are amazing as try to get the parents involved as much as possible. My Daughters confidence and skills have grown so much since attending the nursery can not thank the staff enough.

Absolutely five star nursery, my daughter went to nursery from six months and started Heads of Ayr Nursery when she was 3 and the previous nursery just does not compare. The confidence and abilities she has gained will last a lifetime. Every single member of staff is also amazing and I get told that it's the best food in the world, I can't fault anything about the place. The best little nursery family you could ask for!

Also, just to sign off, the meals the kids get are outstanding, our little man is always well watered and fed.

My son goes to this nursery and he absolutely loves it the early year's practitioners all do an incredible job he feels so safe and secure here. The amount of outside learning they do is fab as I work a lot and can't always be outside playing with the kids. He has learned sign language, numbers, songs, and so much more it's a huge deal leaving your child in the care of someone else at Heads of Ayr Nursery make it so much easier.

I will be forever grateful to you all for assisting me in giving my daughter the best start in life she could possibly have.

My daughter is now four and has been at this nursery for two years and she loves it! We get regular updates and photos through our app as well as an update at the end of each day. She has excelled with her numbers and letters and is so ready for school. She loves the outdoors and the location is wonderful being away from busy town centre. Highly recommend it.

I cannot fault the nursery at all!

We can't thank the staff enough for all the care our daughter is given within her day. She absolutely loves nursery days and can't wait until her little sister joins her.

Everyone welcomes us and knows us personally which creates a real sense of community and the experience overall has been excellent. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Heads of Ayr Nursery and are just sorry they don’t have places from 1 as our son would also be going soon too if they did.

I would highly recommend this nursery, the activities and the on site chef make this stand out from the rest.

My son absolutely loves this nursery. He has come out of his shell so much since joining in April 2021 and is absolutely thriving. The set-up, both inside and out, is phenomenal for little ones, particularly those who like to spend time outdoors and the staff and so welcoming and supportive. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough!

The staff are professional, knowledgeable and friendly and really put the children at the centre of their learning.

Recently we have been through some personal ups and downs and the staff have been so amazing at helping my little girl and myself to navigate through this. The care and compassion along with their incredible knowledge and love for their job just shines from all the staff. Every child should have the start this establishment provides.

It's been such a tough year being stuck at home and I constantly worried about her social skills but now my daughter talks about her friends and teachers all day long.

My child has attended this nursery since it opened and she has thrived in this environment. I am delighted with the opportunity for my child at this nursery. The staff have been excellent and lovely to speak to and get updates from.
