There are a few great, caring practitioners working at this nursery (Michelle and Cecille, for instance) but the terrible management from owner Linda Paterson makes Kirkhillgait a very poor nursery experience for your children, with a toxic, unmotivated and dishonest atmosphere overall (lots of new staff has a problem with this and they quickly leave, leaving children confused)The Care Inspectorate has recognised this recently (May 2023) upholding four complaints around areas of children's wellbeing, food choice, staff levels and lack of activities/materials for the wee ones. You can see these complaints by searching for Kirkhillgait at the Care Inspectorate site.Past staff members say things such as this about the nursery: "The worst nursery by far in mearns. Not a toy insight children wondering around aimlessly. Understaffed. Clueless management team. Awful environment no resources at all." (you can find that on Indeed).
