My child really enjoys nursery. He had a rocky start with starting somewhere new, but the staff were amazing at helping him settle. His key worker has been amazing and made both myself and my little one feel at ease.
He now runs into nursery and is keen to tell me about his day.
The daily
feedback is always very detailed and it's as if my child is the only one they've been with as they can tell me everything about their day.
Can't thank the staff enough for the excellent care and support they show my son.

Our son has been attending this nursery for almost 3 years now. He loves it and is always excited to attend. The staff are great, so friendly, caring and professional - really making sure they take the time to get to know you and your child. The setting is great, its always so clean and my son
really enjoys all the time they get to spend outside exploring the garden.

I am very happy with Kirkintilloch Nature Kindergarten. All of the staff are lovely, they know my child very well and the standards of both childcare, and communication are excellent. I have nothing but praise. Keep up the good work, Charmaine, Linda and team!

I have used this nursery for all 3 of my children since 2018 and they have all thrived. The staff are exceptionally warm, caring and know all the children well. The management team, Charmaine and Lynda, have always been very responsive and accommodating wherever possible. Keyworkers are invested in
individual children and have helped us decide on the right time to send to school among other challenges. They strive to have them outdoors as much as possible and do many activities with them including seasonal/holiday related crafts etc.

Our baby, now almost 11 months, has been attending this nursery since he was just under 5 months old. He has a great time, and the staff have been brilliant.
In a recent stay-and-play, where parents were invited to come in and play for an hour, my son was less interested in playing with me than in
having a cuddle with one of the nursery managers. It just goes to show the wonderful secure attachments he is building with the staff due to their responsive care and nurturing. While I was there, watching how they dealt with the young babies sharing toys had me coming away feeling I'd learned a healthy approach to mirror at home.
As we have been weaning, I've really appreciated how accommodating the nursery have been with our dietary requests. At every step they've been happy to meet him where he is on his journey.
I'm grateful that whenever I see interactions between my son and the staff, they engage him, speak to him and pay attention when he tries to express his thoughts.

Delighted with the care and development the nursery provides for my little one. He runs into the nursery at drop off and is happy to see all the staff. The range of activities that they set up for the children is brilliant and makes it easy to know they are well looked after. When the staff update
us on pick up, they make us feel like they have only been looking after our wee one which is definitely a skill. Overall, would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a safe and caring environment for there child.

My son started at the nursery in October 2023 and he has settled in really well. He was given lots of settling-in days which really helped prepare us both for the transition. The staff have been great and can always give me a good update on what my little boy has been up to each day. I also love the
app for getting regular updates on how my son's skills are developing. I can see by how happy my little boy is at nursery that he has a good relationship with the staff and I feel they really care about his well-being.

We appreciate the regular updates we get about our children’s progress. We love seeing the photos and hearing about their learning. There has been such a wonderful improvement in communication and the team are really making a big effort to engage with families. It is always a joy to read an update
and picture them at nursery. We have had all 3 of our children at the nursery over the last 7 years. My children have never had a complaint about the nursery or staff once, they have thoroughly enjoyed every day and I can see they are loved. Thank you.

Fantastic nursery! Our daughter absolutely loves coming here, and we are so happy with the service. It’s a great feeling being able to drop her off and know that she will be well looked after, and have lots of fun! All the staff working there are so lovely and approachable. You can tell they are all
dedicated to what they do. We feel that we are always kept in the loop about what is going on and love to get updates on what fun activities our daughter has been up to during the week.

As a first time mother, I was so apprehensive when it came to choosing a nursery for my son. From the website, to my first show round, to meeting all the staff, I had nothing but good vibes from this nursery. My son absolutely loves to go to nursery school. He doesn't even bother with me leaving him
and walks into the nursery arms open wide happy to see every single member of staff for a cuddle. Action always speaks louder than words and this tells me the staff are so attentive to my son, that he knows there's always cuddles and love waiting on him at nursery. My son's speech has came on amazingly since starting two months ago, I can't quite believe the difference myself. The staff always let me know how his day has been and their communication is spot on, I am fully informed about my son's whole day. There's no words to describe how reassured I am leaving my son in this nursery's care when I go to work. Thank you to all the staff for being truly amazing and nurturing!

As a first time Mum, I was really nervous about putting my child into nursery so I could return to work. All staff at KNK are extremely professional, knowledgable and approachable, making me feel completely at ease as a parent. The nursery has great communication with us as parents, whether this be
updates and photos, further learning opportunities or information about what is coming up at the nursery. Most importantly, my daughter has been attending nursery since before she was 1 and her reaction to going to nursery tells me everything I need to know. She literally runs into the building smiling and is so excited to spend time with the staff and other children. Every member of staff I have spoken to has known my child extremely well, clearly have great relationships with her and I fully trust them and believe they want the best for her.

The staff are all wonderful and caring, my child (who is in the under 2's room) loves going there. The staff are great at keeping parents informed and updated and I think it is a really nice environment. My child eats well, sleeps well and always seems delighted to be there.
19 February 2024
Our child loves going to this nursery and we’ve seen him grow into a confident and fun little boy. His language has been coming on well and he has loved exploring new rooms as he moves up each stage at the nursery. The meals always sound great and he usually eats most or all of his food so enjoys
it! I love that they encourage him to be independent and he loves to be helpful. The staff provide excellent care and there is a lovely, friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

The nursery is excellent and the staff really are wonderful. I feel so reassured when I drop my little one off that she will be well looked after. She has great days at nursery. I love hearing what she's been up to. If we need to be contacted when she's in nursery, the staff always approach this in
an appropriate way. They really care. Another reassuring aspect - they're always striving to make changes to improve. For example, working to improve the outdoor facilities. We are kept updated with everything and if we ever need to speak to a member of staff, it is never a problem. So grateful to this nursery!

We love Kirkintilloch Nature Kindergarten! Both our boys have attended since they were 9 months old, and we have been so happy with it. The ladies are all great, and their meals are being made fresh on the premises. They grow vegetables in the garden and have lots of time outside.
10 August 2023
My daughter has been at Kirkintilloch Nature Kindergarten for almost two years and really enjoys it. The staff are all friendly and helpful and seem genuinely interested in what's happening with my daughter. I love that all food and drink is included - one huge thing less to think about everyday and
the menu is always varied. I can see that she's learning at nursery and enjoys the activities.
05 July 2023
When we drive into nursery our child cheers because she is so happy to be at nursery. She loves the staff and being with her friends.
We love all the activities the staff do with the children and we have found that our child has come on leaps and bounds since attending nursery. Her speech is
fantastic and she surprises us with new words and phrases every day.
The variety of food is also fantastic and the staff provide options and encourage the children to serve themselves which is great for building confidence.
02 July 2023
My daughter started with the nursery (she was just 2 years at that time) in November 2022, it didn’t take her long to settle in because of the experience, very attentive and also nurturing staff that made her transition so smooth. We had the usual tears during the initial drop off but she settled in
quickly with the reassurance from the staff. She has thoroughly enjoyed her time with the nursery and there are actually days where we couldn’t get her to leave the school.
We are also always kept up to date with her activities during pick up and we were also informed on any mishaps or accidents immediately, which is very much appreciated knowing that our daughter is very well cared for.

Staff genuinely care about the children here. They are always keen to pass on stories and information. Our child loves going to nursery, is well looked after, comes home happy, well fed and tired. I'm more than happy with the care and attention she gets.
26 April 2022
My three child attend Kidsplay and absolutely love it. The staff are very caring and easy to chat to.
Management are always happy to chat and are quick to resolve any issues.
My only comment is that since Covid there has been a lot less updates for my younger two boys via the portal.
