ENSURING ALL CHILDREN HAVE AMAZING CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES

At A B C Private Nursery, located in Livingston, we provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children are valued and listened to. Our day nursery operates from 7:15 am to 6:15 pm, with morning sessions from 7:15 am to 1:15 pm and afternoon sessions from 1:15 pm to 6:15 pm. We prefer children to be picked up by a family member, with prior arrangements required for alternative pick-ups, including identification. Late collections incur a charge of £10 for the first 15 minutes and £10 for each subsequent 15-minute window. Sick children should not attend the nursery, and medication is administered only with a doctor's prescription or for fever, accompanied by a care plan and permission form. Parents are encouraged to visit with their child before starting and to meet staff and other children. Essential items such as indoor shoes, a change of clothing, an outdoor jacket, sun cream, and a sunhat should be provided while the nursery supplies toothbrushes. We empower children to become confident and effective learners, promoting strong partnerships with parents and the community. As members of the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA), we uphold high standards of care at an affordable price. Call us today for more information.
