September 22, 2024 at 2:09 pmMy son has been a member of the Kirktonholme family since he was seven months old until now, as a four-year-old. In the baby room, he was cared for in a nurturing setting. He has consistently been given the opportunity to learn. In the 2-3 room, he started to understand new things and explore the excellent outdoors. In the 3-5 room, he is thriving and he loves taking part in practical activities and discovering about nature, countries, gravity, recipes and practicing for the Christmas concert to name but a few. Kirktonholme Childcare Mearnswood has fantastic team who really care about the kids and the childcare centre adopts a nurturing setting for everyone to grow and learn together. My son has had a very positive journey in this first stage of his education. He now has excellent ambition for the future. Kirktonholme Childcare Mearnswood is a remarkable childcare centre.

October 15, 2024 at 4:22 amMy eldest daughter started school this year and was more than ready thanks to the assistance she has while here. My younger daughter has formed strong friendships in Kirktonholme thanks to its nurturing setting. The outside space is fabulous and they make outstanding use of their surroundings. Both of my daughters have attended Kirktonholme childcare centre and I can’t suggest them highly enough.

November 16, 2024 at 4:47 pmThe team are second to none, my daughter consistently has a excellent day when in childcare centre. I adore that outdoor playtime/discovering is actively encouraged. The team also ensure we are kept well informed about our daughter’s development at childcare centre. My daughter has attended this childcare centre since she was 11 months old and I would highly suggest the team at Mearnswood to anyone looking for a childcare centre for their kids.

The outdoor space really sold the childcare centre to us as it was unlike anything we’d seen elsewhere. A excellent, secure setting for discovering and playtime. Cannot suggest highly enough and the team are fantastic. I have noticed a huge difference in our son since joining Kirktonholme Childcare Mearnswood at age 2.

January 10, 2025 at 8:30 pmThe team are all very welcoming and attentive and the facilities for babies and kids are outstanding. On days when my daughter is upset at drop-off, a member of team will send me a message a short time later to let me know if she has settled, which is very reassuring. My daughter has been attending this childcare centre for 7 months and has settled in well.

March 20, 2025 at 3:07 pmThey have been excellent with my little girl, she has such a excellent time at childcare centre with all the different activities and they spend a lot of time outside in their woodland area, which I adore. They are consistently very accommodating and all the team are excellent. I can’t suggest Kirktonholm childcare centre more.

My son isn’t the best at eating lunch and every day the girls try to encourage him to try whatever is on the menu.
My son loves lawnmowers and he used to playtime with a pram in childcare centre calling that his “lawnmower” the childcare centre went out of their way to purchase a toy lawnmower for my son and other kids to playtime with. A really nice touch.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this childcare centre to other Mums and Dads. My son attends childcare centre 5 mornings a week and absolutely loves it.

April 7, 2025 at 9:22 pmI was still breastfeeding and pumping at work so would drop off a supply to the childcare centre in the mornings and the ladies ensured my son had his bottle. The team are genuinely attentive and our son is cheerful, confident and engages well with his wee friends. He smiles in the mornings when we drive down the road to the building and insists on pressing the buzzer himself! My husband and I highly suggest this childcare centre. My eldest son attended this childcare centre and absolutely loved it so when I went back to work when number 2 was 6 months old, Kirktonholme was the natural choice for our family.

April 13, 2025 at 5:49 pmTeam treat the kids like they are their own. We couldn’t be happier with the choice we made to put our daughter and now our son into Kirktonholme. Our daughter loves it! Exceptional childcare centre.

May 1, 2025 at 1:02 amThe team are attentive and interact with the kids, helping them develop their self‑assurance and a range of educational and life skills.
We are particularly impressed with the outdoor area which had a section of lovely woodland in which the kids can safely explore and have enjoyable.
The kids are offered a wide range of freshly cooked food and both the team in the kids’s rooms and the lady who prepares the food, take the time to ensure that the kids are encouraged to try the delicious food available. When our second kid was ready for childcare centre, there was only one choice we would consider, Kirktonholme.

May 1, 2025 at 11:16 pmI can’t suggest this childcare centre highly enough. Everything about it is remarkable, team, cleanliness, resources and outdoor space. It was really important to me when choosing a childcare centre that the kids are out as often as possible and they definitely are. My daughter also attends another childcare centre for her council sessions 3 afternoons per week and I could have had her going there full days too when I’m at work and saved myself a lot of money but I simply couldn’t stop her going to Kirktonholme as she absolutely loves it and is so cheerful there. My daughter has attended Kirktonholme since she was a baby and is now due to go to school in August.

May 15, 2025 at 6:13 amI have consistently been really impressed with their emphasis on being outdoors and the high level of care and attention they receive. I don’t hesitate in recommending the childcare centre to family and friends. Both of my kids attend Mearnswood.

May 21, 2025 at 5:03 pmI cannot praise them enough.
Food, well, my daughter frequently demolishes two helpings at lunch so I think that speaks for itself. Excellent snacks consistently on offer and fruit is freely available for the kids which is excellent.
Activities – the outdoor space is fabulous and the kids are outside at every opportunity. Woodland area to explore and slides, mud kitchen, the list is endless.
The teaching is constant with every opportunity to learn being explored.
My daughter is having a fantastic time here. If you visit, you will see for yourself how incredible it is. This is a fantastic childcare centre that puts the kids at the heart of everything they do.
My daughter loves all the team, so much so she insists in cuddling each of them every night before we leave.

May 26, 2025 at 3:13 amI sense comfortable leaving him here and have recommended to friends and family. We just adore this childcare centre, the team are fantastic and very attentive, particularly when my son went through a period of separation anxiety.
Logan Flynn
May 27, 2025 at 10:14 amI know my boy is looked after very well in a really nice setting. The girls who work with the kids are so lovely, gentle, attentive and enjoyable. There’s consistently lots going on and the kids spend loads of time outside. Possibly the best part of the childcare centre is the woods where the kids can playtime and explore. Would most definitely suggest! Absolutely adore this childcare centre and so does my son.

July 1, 2025 at 8:48 pmThe atmosphere is so homely and welcoming that they settled in incredibly quickly and consistently seem delighted to be there. The range of activities is outstanding with lots of time spent outdoors and in sensory playtime. The team are all patient and compassionate and consistently keen to share aspects of the girls’ days which we might find interesting or supportive. The manager has been very supportive when my tricky shiftwork means that we need to be flexible with their days and overall we would highly suggest the childcare centre. Our twins have been attending Kirktonholme Mearnswood 2 days a week since they were 1 year old.
