My little boy started at nursery in the baby room last month and has settled really well. I’ve been really impressed with how caring and helpful the staff have been, particularly the baby room manager, who my son seems to gravitate towards the most. I can’t thank them enough for putting my mind at ease
when dropping him off, given he’s had very limited social interaction with new people due to Covid-19.

Fantastic nursery. As a new father, it was important for our child to attend a nursery which we felt comfortable with, and trusted - and Kalgarth has exceeded our expectations, we love the staff, we love the facilities and we adore that our child comes home happy, playful and brings handmade items back
with him that he’s made during the day at nursery. Can’t recommend Kalgarth enough, over the moon with them. Thank you.

My daughter absolutely loves it here and so do I! She’s very well looked after and I’ve never had any issues whatsoever. Since my daughter started in the babies room in January she has come on leaps and bounds. All the staff are so lovely and they genuinely care about all the children.

My daughter is four years old and she started at Evolution Childcare @ Kalgarth Grange when she was only nine months. The nursery has become a massive part of our family and my daughter loves going to nursery five days a week. We cannot thank the practitioners enough as they have helped our little girl
grow in confidence and build her self esteem. They have supported her development needs as she has grown and helped build the foundations for her to start a new journey as she prepares for school in September. We feel very happy leaving our daughter here as she has an excellent relationship with all her teachers and we are greeted every day with a smile. We have so many happy memories at Evolution Childcare @ Kalgarth Glasgow and we will be forever thankful to the whole team.

I cannot recommend Evolution Childcare @ Kalgarth Grange highly enough. My daughter has been attending the nursery for over two years now and during that time her confidence has improved greatly. The staff are so thoughtful and caring and they provide a loving and safe environment, acting as a home
away from home. They always address any concerns or queries in a professional manner and I trust them one hundred per cent that they will always put the needs of my child first. We will be sad to leave here in the summer when my daughter starts school.

My daughter had real difficulty adjusting to the nursery and meeting new people. The team have gone above and beyond to help her develop in social situations. The reception team, especially her key worker, has really worked in a personalised way to develop her social interaction and confidence. My daughter
loves all the team, from the managers to the cook and has a great relationship with them all. They make her feel comfortable and at ease. I and my partner also have to thank the team for continued great communication and duty of care, they have helped us in getting my daughter help with her stutter with the SALT team. Evolution Childcare @ Kalgarth Grange is a great nursery and the staff and team are amazing.

If your looking for a safe, caring and educational setting for your children to attend then this is the nursery for you. Both my children have attended since before their first birthday and both look forward to nursery days with a big smile. I find the staff really personable and they really care about
the children they look after. I get regular pictures and updates through a really useful family app. This also updates me on my child’s development and progress. The nursery constantly put on activities and events for the children. The nursery itself has a lovely outdoor play area and all the rooms inside are brightly decorated with lots of toys and activities.

Our daughter has spent nearly four wonderful years here. We’ve watched her flourish under their care. So, it was only natural that we would also put our one-year-old son in too. He’s only been with the nursery for a few months and we’ve already seen huge developments in him. I couldn’t recommend it
more highly. All the staff are amazing and caring.

The staff and facilities at Evolution Childcare @ Kalgarth Grange are excellent. The staff take an active interest in my child's development and are keen to work alongside the parents in achieving development goals. They fully understand that every child is different and happily tailor the approach
to suit the child's needs. They are always warm and welcoming and my child has developed close bonds with all of the staff in the room, which helps as my child is always keen to go back the next day. They provide frequent updates and future goal targets on my child's development, providing detailed reports via an app which I find very useful. Most importantly they ensure the kids have fun and be children. My child comes home every day with a big smile. I highly recommend Evolution Childcare @ Kalgarth Grange!

My little girl has settled into this nursery from day one. She has truly blossomed since her time here and she looks forward to seeing her friends and the staff every single day. The staff are so good with her and encouraging beyond all expectations. It is clear to see how passionate every member of
staff is about their setting and the pride that they take in their nursery. The management team are always happy to help and take any questions or queries seriously, setting my mind at ease. Contact with parents on the Famly app is well managed and I love that I can drop a quick message to the team and someone will respond. I also love getting unexpected updates on my daughter's day, see her little face in a picture when she is doing something new. The setting is well maintained and bright and colourful, and the garden/outdoor area is the best that I have seen in a nursery before. I would recommend this nursery to anybody.

Our daughter has been at Kalgarth Grange since she was 10 months old. The staff are fantastic - so friendly and interested in the children's development. Even the management knows the names of each of the children. Such a lovely welcoming atmosphere. We chose Kalgarth Grange as it's a busy nursery.
It's fantastic for sociable children and very stimulating. Their activity calendar is published once a month and is based on things like global festivals, world book day, national space week, baking bread, etc. They have an app that allows you to see write-ups about activities and developmental milestones. You can interact with the staff using this too and send in any interesting updates from home. I always recommend Kalgarth Grange to friends and family looking for child care. It's a brilliant nursery!

Since our son has attended Kalgarth Grange Nursery I have had nothing but praise for the staff who work at the nursery. The nursery is extremely well run and has a positive and nurturing climate that has allowed our son to flourish and become a well-rounded little boy. His social development alongside
his cognitive learning have developed every month since attending. Our little boy adores the staff who make his day fun-filled and meaningful and always enjoys going to nursery. We are provided regular updates on our son’s physical, intellectual, emotional and social development. The nursery also are very personable and have always kept in touch with us throughout the day where needed and supporting us as parents. We are extremely grateful for the support and love our son receives at Kalgarth and would recommend the nursery to anyone. As a teacher myself, I understand how challenging it can be at times but I know my son is always put first and staff will always have a smile on their face.

My eldest son has attended Kalgarth for the last 2 years and he loves it, he has made trusting relationships with the staff and enjoys going to nursery. My other son started 6 months ago and he took a while to settle into Early Learners but the staff have been very supportive and helped him to settle
(only attends one day a week). I am provided with updates for both my children when they attend and also have access via the FAMLY app which is really helpful for communication. Both my children have grown in confidence from attending this nursery, they both speak highly of the staff they have in their rooms. They are able to take advantage of lots of learning opportunities and this has really benefited them. I really like this little nursery and would highly recommend it.

Our little girl started in late August. I was very nervous as she is a mummy's girl and rarely leaves without becoming upset. During the run-up to her starting, the team were very supportive and helped with settling in days.


The day finally arrived for her first full day, and we have never looked

back! She absolutely loves it to the point of walking up and screeching in excitement. I'm lucky to get a wave goodbye, let alone a kiss.


The room has had a swap over of staff but the level of care and service has never dropped. In such hard times with restrictions in place it is difficult to build relationships but the app they use is perfect! Personal, insightful of progression and a great way to stay in contact.


Thank you team!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.943)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.943) out of 10 for Kalgarth Grange Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.943 for Kalgarth Grange Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (282 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.943

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kalgarth Grange Nursery School is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
