Choosing a suitable nursery for your new baby or young child is probably one of the most important and biggest decisions you will make regarding your child's early education. The Carousel Nursery is aprivate family owned nursery and can care for 52 children at any one time, from birth right up to 8 years of age. At the Carousel Nursery we understand that all children have different needs depending on how old they are but also on their individual personality and abilities.

The owner Helen Bell has been in childcare since 1984 and welcomes you to Glenbervie Kindergarden and GX Club. Helen has managed in the private sector for over 12 years prior to establishingGlenbervie Kindergarden Larbert in late 2003 with Carron Grange House opening in October 2009. Helen sees Glenbervie as a family and everyone including parents and staff and also understands that it is very difficult for parents to leave their most precious possessions in a childcare setting.

My CV is in the download area of the website but to give you a quick overview I have an undergraduate degree in psychology from St Andrews university and a postgraduate in Educational research. I wasalso volunteer befriender at an Edinburgh guest house for adults and children with special needs. This involved working one-to-one with the children, helping them with personal care and taking the guests on outings around Edinburgh.

My name is Murdina Baillie and I have three children, Keeley(born 2001),K aidyn(born 2005)and Rhys(born 1993). We have two cats, two Degus, two Guinea Pigs and a Hamster. I hold full Public LiabilityInsurance, full EU Passport and a clean drivers licence. I'm firm but fair and as I have my own children, I understand about ages and stages of development whilst remembering each little person is an individual with their own needs.

My name is Jacqueline and I own and run Jacqueline's Childminding Service. I'm a fully qualified childminder based in Denny, Strilingshire and I offer child minding to parents in the local areas ofDenny, Dunipace, Head of Muir and Bonnybridge and further a field as required e.g. Stirling, Falkirk. It is my firm belief that each child is an individual in their own right and should be allowed to express themselves in a fun, child-centered environment.

The basic aim of the project is to provide childcare before and after school and during school holidays to children of primary school age. The children should attend Borestone, Braehead, St Ninians,St Mary's, Bannockburn Primary Schools and Castleview during term-time.

SCMA is a voice of childminding in Scotland. We work with our members to help improve the wellbeing and outcomes for Scotland's children. We also play a big part in influencing change at governmentlevel to ensure new legislation is proportional and fits our members' needs.

We also have a large outdoor allotment for the children to plant, grow and eventually pick their own vegetables from. As you can probably guess, we like our children to keep busy, and subject to theScottish weather, occupied with many outdoor activities. Food is very important to us and plays a huge part of daily life in our nursery. It's essential that the children's food is made from wholesome and nutritious ingredients.

The Nursery is registered from 7 am to 7 pm Monday to Friday, but normal nursery hours of opening are from 8am - 6pm Monday - Friday 51 weeks of the Year including Public Holidays and will only closeon Easter Monday and the week between Christmas and New Year.
