Parent Reviews

“When we first moved to Kilmacolm, Duchal was recommended to us by a new neighbour. After a visit to the nursery and meeting the teachers we put our sons name down immediately.

Our son absolutely loves Duchal and has grown in confidence and many other ways since he started. The teachers make such a fuss over the children as soon as they walk through the door, it really is lovely to see. The environment is warm, welcoming and very happy. I would highly recommend.”

I would highly recommend Duchal Nursery - the staff are absolutely amazing. The location and building are both great too. There is a real sense of family and community there between the staff, all the children and the families / parents too. A really fantastic place and we will really miss taking our daughter there and seeing everyone when she finishes this year!

“Duchal is a brilliant nursery school where the staff are warm and friendly passionate about giving the children in their care the very best start. They will always go the extra mile and take the time to know each child really well. The nursery has a strong family feel provides a nurturing environment for the children as they begin their educational journey. We are very lucky to have Duchal on our doorstep.”

“Duchal Nursery is without doubt a fabulous place for your little ones start in their educational journey. Since my daughter started last year, we have had nothing but positive experiences. The team are caring and go the extra mile to ensure the kids are well looked after and all treated as individuals. The daily activities are well thought out and the kids seem to love it. My daughter loves her time at Duchal. 5 stars all round”

“Wonderful nursery, a unique start in life for any child's education. Both our boys loved the happy, community-led spirit that defines Duchal and have retained incredibly fond memories for years afterwards.”

“What a wonderful nursery for our young people to flourish and grow in confidence, our daughters both enjoyed their time at Duchal it is a truly special place”
