About this Falkirk Nursery

Description

We are quietly situated only minutes from Falkirk town centre and close to all amenities. Wellside Place lies between Falkirk Town Hall and Falkirk Police Station. The nursery is within walking distance of both Grahamston and Falkirk High railway stations.

At Wellside Kindergarten it is our aim to providing the highest standard of professional care and education for children aged birth to five years. We greatly encourage the natural joy of discovery in each child and promote emotional well-being, togetherness and comfort. Our nursery offers both a homely and educational environment where we believe that learning happens through play. We have a strong emphasis on outdoor learning both in the nursery garden and local natural areas and all the experiences pave the way for the road ahead.

Caring for your child is our number one priority and in partnership with parents we will ensure that we take the time to support each individual child's personal development. Children are listened to and encouraged to take an active role in deciding what we do in the nursery, which in turn makes a real difference to the crucial development of their personal and social skills. You can expect a warm welcome from our caring, well experienced, fully qualified and long standing staff.
