NURSERY INFORMATION

We work exceptionally hard to ensure our learning environment is equal to, or surpasses, the standard of local school nurseries. At Linktown, we would love for your child to continue attending after the term after their 3rd birthday. Below are some of the many reasons your child will benefit enormously from staying with us for those important nursery years:

⦁ We cover the same educational standards, working with the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence for Early Levels, across all curriculum areas including literacy, mathematics, sciences and technologies.
⦁ We are governed by the same authorities for maintaining high standards including educational and care inspections.
⦁ We operate with a 1:5 ratio (educator to child) in comparison to local authority nurseries which operate with a 1:10 ratio. This means at Linktown your child will receive more one-on-one attention and additional support whenever they need it.
⦁ Our playroom has a maximum capacity of 24 children, compared to 50+ in local authority nurseries, again reinforcing our ability to offer more time for your child so they can be supported, listened to and watched carefully.
⦁ Also, thanks to our smaller, family-focused setting, we are able to watch the children’s interactions more closely, and help them develop those all-important social skills, such as taking turns, listening to others and helping one another.
We are situated in Linktown Church on Nicol St, and runs from 9.15am to 12.25pm Monday - Friday. 

Children can start from 2yrs 6mths (but can be added to the waiting list before this)
