Red Kite Community Nursery - Doune
Doune, Stirling
We are owned and managed by the parents of the children attending and are a registered Scottish charity (No:SC016050) and a member of the Scottish Preschool Play Association (SPPA).
We are in partnership with Stirling Council which allows us to offer free, Government funded places to all children the term after their third birthday.
Like any Council run nursery or partnership nursery our practitioners are fully qualified and registered with the SSSC.
Similarly we follow the Curriculum for Excellence, and are inspected annually by the Care Commission and regularly by HMIe.
Our provision is also monitored annually by Stirling Council.
Our nursery aims to provide an appropriate learning environment which values independence, choice and responsibility and respects the rights of children.
As a group organised by parents, staff, and children, it provides a service, rooted in and meeting the needs of our local community.
Your child will feel happy and secure in a safe and stimulating environment, enabling him/her to be able to develop confidence and self-esteem and a positive attitude towards others.
Children have attended not just from Doune but also, Buchany, Blair Drummond, Brig O'Turk, Callander, Deanston, Dunblane, Lake of Menteith, and Thornhill.
We provide a free Jumpin' Beans Session run by Active Stirling each week.
In addition, we have an extensive range of play equipment including climbing frame, slide, bikes etc.
We also have waterproof all-in-one suits, wellies and gloves for each child so we can play and go for walks come rain or shine! Plus, we have a fabulous new, secure garden.
Each year we also run 'Rising 3's' which takes place on Monday afternoons from 1.00pm - 2:30pm for children who are at least 2 years 5 months old.
Starting Pre-School can be a huge step for some young children, having to leave their parents for longer parents than usual, that's where Rising 3's can help.
