Rooms are well laid out and offer an excellent range of resources to support early learning. There is a splendid all year round outdoor area where children enjoy regular fresh air, exercise and learning across all areas of the curriculum.

Children are cared for by an enthusiastic, skilled and experienced team of childcare practitioners who plan learning experiences to meet the needs of each individual child.

MEET THE TEAM 🤩

Hi, I'm Anya!

I hve been working with children for the past 6 years and have experience caring for children as young as 3 months up to 3 years old. I currently hold my Level 3 qualification in Childcare and I am passionate about creating a warm, nurturing and engaging environment where every child feels safe, valued and supported to learn through play.

Before returning to Scotland, I spent 3 years living in Australia while studying for my Bachelor's degree in Music. This was an incredible experience that allowed me to meet people from different cultures and broaden my perspective.

Music has always been a huge part of my life. I love singing and writing my own music and I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for music and creativity with the children through songs, singing and imaginative play. I believe music is a wonderful way to encourage children's confidence, communication and self-expression.

Outside of work, I love travelling and exploring new countries whenever I can. I enjoy discovering different cultures, trying new experiences and bringing my creativity, positivity and enthusiasm into the nursery each day. I look forward to getting to know you and your children and supporting them as they grow, learn and develop.

Clair Nursery Manager - "Anya has joined us as Lead Practitioner within our Baby Room (0-2years). Anya has recently starter her induction process with us and she has been spending some time in the rooms interacting with the children and starting to initiate those important strong bonds that we all have with our children and families. You will see Anya in and around the nursery so please feel free to stop and have a chat with her and give her the warm Grange welcome that we all receive. If you have any questions at all please do chat with Anya or catch myself and/or Lauren. Welcome to the team Anya and we look forward to seeing all of the amazing things you will bring to the team."

MEET THE TEAM🤩

Hi, my name is Cecile. I have worked in education in various ways for more than 25years. I started off my career as a language teacher in secondary education in France and then took a long break from teaching to home-educate my son, organising many activities and meet-ups with children of all ages along the way. My time as a home-educator made me realise that I absolutely love working with young children and supporting them in their learning. I am delighted to be starting at The Grange, getting to know the wonderful children, staff and parents.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, films, crafts and sports. I will play board games with anyone willing to, as I love play in all it's forms!

Clair - Nursery Manager "It has been an absolute pleasure to have Cecile join us here at The Grange and I am excited to watch her provide our children with fantastic learning opportunities. Cecile has been settling in well into the nursery at the moment. Cecile is with us in our Pre-School Room and she works Monday-Friday so Im sure you will see her going around and I'm sure you will have amazing interactions with her. Welcome to The Grange Team Cecile." 😀
