Maryhill Nursery

Exceptional Childcare in the Heart of the Community

Located in the heart of Maryhill, our nursery proudly welcomes children and families from across this vibrant and close-knit community. At Step By Step, we are passionate about creating a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every child feels safe, valued, and encouraged to thrive.

As one of Scotland’s highest-rated childcare providers, we understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in their childcare choice. Our dedicated and highly qualified team work closely with families to provide the highest standards of care, learning, and development for every child who joins us.

A Caring and Flexible Baby Department

Our baby department, situated upstairs in the nursery, provides a calm, loving, and adaptable environment for children aged 0 to 2 years. We recognise that every baby is unique, which is why our experienced team tailor care routines and daily experiences around each child’s individual needs.

Equipped with high-quality facilities and resources, our baby department is designed to support early development in a safe and comforting setting. From sensory experiences and quiet rest areas to interactive play and nurturing care, our team focus on building strong relationships that help babies feel secure, happy, and confident as they grow.

Inspiring Learning Through Play

Our downstairs playroom caters for children aged 2 to 6 and provides a vibrant, engaging space where they can learn through exploration, creativity, and play. Our experienced practitioners carefully plan a wide range of exciting experiences that support every stage of development, helping children build confidence, independence, and social skills.

We believe children learn best when they are encouraged to follow their interests and explore the world around them. Through imaginative play, group activities, creative experiences, and hands-on learning opportunities, our team create an environment where children are motivated to discover, question, and develop new skills every day.

Safe and Exciting Outdoor Play

Outdoor play is an important part of life at our Maryhill nursery. Our outdoor area has been thoughtfully designed with child-friendly soft-fall surfaces to ensure children can play safely while remaining active and adventurous.

Children have access to a wide variety of toys, equipment, and physical activities that encourage movement, teamwork, and self-expression. Whether climbing, exploring, balancing, or simply enjoying time outdoors with friends, our outdoor space supports both physical wellbeing and social development while allowing children to benefit from fresh air and exercise.

Forest School Adventures

We are proud to regularly offer forest school experiences for our children, giving them the opportunity to explore local woodland environments and connect with nature in meaningful ways.

These experiences provide exciting opportunities that are often unavailable in a traditional nursery setting. Children can learn practical skills such as fire safety, enjoy activities like tree climbing, and develop an understanding of local wildlife and plant life. Forest school encourages curiosity, resilience, confidence, and teamwork while helping children build a lifelong appreciation for the natural world.

Supporting Children and Families

At Step By Step Maryhill, we are committed to providing more than just childcare. We strive to create a welcoming environment where children feel happy, supported, and inspired, while parents enjoy complete peace of mind knowing their child is receiving exceptional care every day.

Our passionate team are dedicated to helping every child reach their full potential through nurturing relationships, engaging learning experiences, and a strong sense of community that reflects the spirit of Maryhill itself.
