Welcome to a place where curiosity grows

At Somerset Nursery, we've spent decades nurturing children in Glasgow, building a reputation for warm, family-led care from the very first day. We know that choosing a nursery is about trust, not just meeting requirements, so we focus on real relationships with families, hands-on learning, and providing child-centred early years education that gives your child space to explore.

 

Our team brings together more than 30 years of childcare experience, blending outdoor adventures with activities that help your little one develop confidence, motor skills, and a love of discovery. To ensure they stay energised throughout these adventures, we provide wholesome, balanced nursery meals that are prepared fresh daily. Every day, we're working to make sure your child feels safe, valued, and part of a community that cares.

What we offer

Early years childcare for ages 0–3

We create a safe, playful, and stimulating space for children from 3 months to three years, with daily outdoor activities and hands-on learning led by our caring, qualified team.

Fresh, nutritious meals and snacks

Our menu features hot cooked lunches and snacks that cater for all dietary needs, including vegetarian and halal options, with our staff trained to follow strict food safety standards.

Really lovely small setting near the park. The staff are all very nice and friendly, my daughter absolutely loves going and we really enjoy receiving the diary and photo/video updates. I like that it’s so close to the park as they get to go quite frequently and I know my daughter really loves playing outside so it’s a huge plus for us. She’s been on a few little outings with the nursery too which is really nice for her (lots of book bug sessions at the library, art gallery, safari trip soon) and it’s nice to see that she’s been trying lots of new foods and activities. Would recommend!

A community nursery, every step of the way

Starting nursery is a big step for any family, and it should feel exciting rather than daunting. We make it easy for you to get involved by offering an open-door policy and regular parent meetings, so you never miss a moment in your child's development, all of which is detailed within our essential parent guidance and FAQs.

 

At Somerset Nursery, we keep strong links with the local community, from trips to the Mitchell library and Kelvingrove Art Galleries to outdoor adventures in Glasgow's green spaces. We encourage creativity, nature detective walks, and building connections that last well beyond the nursery years.
