Welcome,
 
My name is Moira Fell and along with my parents, we built Sweetie Brae Private Nursery Limited during 1996 - 1998 and opened for business on Monday 9th February 1998.

We are a small private nursery located in Strathaven and can accommodate up to 50 children at any one time.  
Our service caters for the many working parents within the area and also that of surrounding areas such as Sandford, Glassford, Chapelton, Drumclog and East Kilbride.

As we are open 8am-6pmworking hours, we cater for those families who require round the year care and so can't offer term time places.  

We have a fabulous staff team who will endeavour to cater for all your children's needs and if you check out 'Our Team' page, you will find them all there.
Together with the rest of our team, we are looking forward to taking Sweetie Brae to higher levels. 
 
Throughout our service, we aim to provide your child with a secure, safe and stimulating environment and offer a wide range of opportunities to enable your child to learn and grow.
 
Partnership with parents is a vital part in caring for your child and it is for that reason we encourage as much parental involvement as possible. Opportunities for this run throughout the year as well as the regular communication carried out via childrens individual Learning Journals, where parents can also become fully involved adding their own comments, pictures and stories bringing home learning to nursery and vice versa. 
 
Through regular inspections from the Care Inspectorate, we meet National Care Standards and as we are in partnership with South Lanarkshire Council for Early Learning and Childcare we also comply with their "How Good is our Early Learning and Childcare" document. Throughout childcare there are many other documents which we may use, e.g. 'Realising the Ambition - Being Me', Curriculum for Excellence and many others. 

We are also in partnership with our local council for Early Leaning & Childcare and offer part funded sessions through the year. 

Many agencies inspect us from Food Safety, Health & Safety, Care Inspectorate, Education Scotland, and various other contracted companies keep us up to date with regard to Employment Law, Health & Safety Law, Electrical Testing and Fire Appliance Testing.

Please find our Care Inspectorate inspection report on our home page.

Please have a good look through our website  where you will find more information.
 
Yours sincerely,

​Mrs Moira A. Fell
Director
