Southside Children’s Nursery is a custom-built nursery based in Nitshill, run by local people in the community. All of our staff are fully qualified with SVQ childcare certificates and are continuously training to provide the best care and support for the children. As a non-profit organisation, Southside puts all of its earnings back into the nursery to ensure that the children have the care and resources they need.
Our multi-purpose facilities cater to children of different ages: 15 spaces for children aged between 6 weeks and 2 years, 21 spaces for children aged 2-3 and 36 spaces for children aged between 3-5.
The nursery is easily accessible by car and is a short walk from Nitshill station. There is also plenty of parking available at our premises for pick-up and drop off.
