At Clifton Hall’s teacher-led nursery, a happy, positive ethos allows each child’s unique qualities to shine.
Why not arrange a free, bespoke Stay and Play session so you can experience our incredible facilities for yourself?
As part of the wider Clifton Hall community, our teacher-led, Forest Kindergarten and Nursery offers a seamless transition into Primary School, giving children confidence and familiarity as they progress.
Set within 52 acres of beautiful private woodland, children enjoy exceptional opportunities for outdoor exploration, inquisitive learning, and the development of emotional and physical wellbeing. We are very proud of the recognition we have received for our commitment to outdoor learning. In 2025, we achieved a Gold Award for the Woodland Trust's Green Tree Schools and were shortlisted for Scotland's Finest Woods Award by Forestry Scotland.
Our on-site 20m swimming pool allows children aged 4+ to take part in regular swimming lessons — an essential life skill. Enrichment opportunities also include Modern Foreign Languages and Music, delivered by specialist staff.
Above all, our dedicated, experienced and long-serving team provides a nurturing environment where every child is known, valued and supported.
