Our
Story
Get to Know Us
Welcome to Pine Trees! We are family run nursery based in Prestwick, where our children are at the heart of everything we do.
We provide a high-quality childcare service for 0–5-year-olds and are a partnership nursery with South Ayrshire Council.
To place your child in someone else’s care is the one of the biggest decisions a parent will ever make, and here at Pine Trees, we want to make sure that decision is an easy one for you.
​
​Pine Trees aim to provide your child with a home from home experience. The building itself was once a longstanding home to a local family of four boys and that playful atmosphere has never quite left the building! And as Friedrich Froebel once said "Play is the highest form of learning".
​
Our Environment
The nursery itself is divided into three separate playrooms to suit ages 0-2, 2-3 and 3-5. In addition to these playrooms, we have a considerable outdoor space and are just a short stroll to the beach and local amenities, which is a perfect setting to encourage outdoor play and curiosity.
The Buttercup Room
The Buttercup Room can accommodate up to 24 Buttercup babies (birth to 2 years) with a staff ratio of 1:3.
In line with national guidelines "Realising the Ambition" your child will take part in various types of daily play. Physical, sensory, creative, musical and story time are just some examples of a child’s experience in this room.
We work closely with parents to ensure their transition into nursery life is a valuable experience to help our babies develop confidently to a toddler.
The Daisy Room
​The Daisy room can accommodate 20 children and has a staff ratio of 1:5. Our Daisy children follow a very active timetable, continuing some of the basic routines they followed in the Buttercup Room but introducing some new routines and activities to promote their increasing independence and confidence.
The Sunflower Room
The Sunflower Room can accommodate up to 54 children with a staff ratio of 1:8. Preparing for primary school is about providing high quality educational experiences to build your child’s confidence and abilities. As per National guidelines we follow the Curriculum for Excellence, an educational programme that aims to grow successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens, and effective contributors.
