Parkhead Community Nursery was originally built in the late 1930’s and was 2 separate buildings known as Quarrybrae Day Nursery and Crail Street Day Nursery with both establishments run by Social Services. Education Services established a nursery class in Unit 2, which stayed there till the end of the 1980’s. Education Services took control of all pre5 establishments in the late 1980’s and at the beginning of 1990 an extension was built to allow the nursery to provide additional services to the community and the Rascal’s (before and after school care) took up residency in the extension. Shortly after the extension was built on Wednesday 2nd September 1992 there was a grand opening and the two buildings were renamed as Parkhead Community Nursery.
We are now located in our new campus sharing with Quarry Brae Primary. We moved in on the 23rd October 2009 and had our official opening day on Monday the 14th June 2010.
We are continuing to provide an education and service for children aged between 6 weeks and 5 years and their families. We have a parent’s room and support parents in a variety of ways including, Triple P workshops, sewing classes, demonstration cooking and many, and many, more ways.
