About this Glasgow Nursery

Kirktonholme Shettleston Nursery is a homely two-storey building situated in a residential area in the East End of Glasgow. We provide full day care for children aged 0–5 years. We are a private nursery in partnership with Glasgow Council which enables parents to apply for preschool funding for their child from the age of 3 years. Kirktonholme Shettleston Nursery is privileged to have a large secured garden area to the rear which includes a baby garden and in addition, another welcoming garden space at the nursery entrance. We are within walking distance to Tollcross Park which has its very own miniature farm and access to other local amenities.

Kirktonholme Shettleston Nursery was established in March 2003. We currently provide care and education to 63 children between 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday. Places are available fulltime or part time. At Kirktonholme Nurseries our ethos is based on the understanding that children are foremost their own educators and natural learners with ability, curiosity and imagination.

A child’s experience in the early years has a major impact on their future. We recognise that every child is an individual with gifts and talents particular to them. One of our tasks is to recognise these talents and draw them out.

Excellent child care is vital for you and for your child and at Kirktonholme Shettleston Nursery we lay down the foundations which will allow your child to leave to go to school happy, educated, independent, confident and equipped for their big step.
