Prestwick · Care Inspectorate registered · Grade 4
Welcome to Pine Trees! We are family run nursery based in Prestwick where our children are at the heart of everything we do. We provide a high-quality childcare service for 0–5-year-olds and are a partnership nursery with South Ayrshire Council. To place your child in someone else’s care is the one of the biggest decisions a parent will ever make and here at Pine Trees we want to make sure that decision is an easy one for you. Our ethos is to grow healthy happy children. We do this by providing a home from home environment where our children are loved, supported, and educated to enable them to reach their full potential. We have a dedicated and fully qualified team who together provide your child with a wealth and breadth of experiences to feed their hungry minds and build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. By providing a stimulating yet safe environment our children are given the freedom to explore and to play which is a fundamental part of any child’s day. Pine Trees aim to provide your child with a home from home experience. The building itself was a longstanding home to a local family of four boys and that playful atmosphere has never quite left the building! Since then, it has been developed to accommodate a registration of up to 98 children ages 0-5. Just like a family home we care for and take great pride in investing in our surroundings. The building, the resources and its gardens are well maintained, and under a continuous improvement plan. The nursery itself is divided into three separate playrooms to suit ages 0-2, 2-3 and 3-5. In addition to these playrooms, we have a considerable outdoor space and are just a short stroll to the beach, which is a perfect setting to encourage outdoor play. The Pine Trees team are often compared to as one big family, it is this ethos combined with a proactive approach to educational practice that allows us to grow healthy, happy children! The nursery is owned by Fiona and Scott Caldow and is managed by Diane McCarrell who has over 20 years’ experience in providing excellent childcare services. Our Website: www.pinetrees.co.uk
