Nursery company Little Einstein's is to open a new state-of-the-art nursery in the heart of Glasgow this month.

Nithsdale House Nursery, in Pollokshields, will provide an early learning experience for children from shortly after birth until they are ready for the first days of school age.

The new facility – the latest in a thriving business with four premises in Tayside and two in Glasgow – will also create up to 20 jobs for a new team of qualified and professional carers.

Nithsdale House will expand and enhance Little Einstein's current offering of the Hillside Crèche and the Hillside Clubhouse in Mansewood in Glasgow, which are themselves undergoing major extension work to meet increasing levels of demand from parents in the surrounding area and beyond.

Due to re-open at the end of August, the extended Hillside premises will be capable of accommodating a further 30 children and staff numbers, too, will increase.

The new facility, at the corner of Nithsdale Road and Shields Road, will be able to provide parents with a safe, secure and nurturing environment where children can progress happily through the vital early stages of personal development.

For all 52 weeks of the year, it will offer four huge and comprehensively equipped learning areas where children of different ages will be cared for by staff in ratios as intensive as one nursery professional to every three children.

Children will also have frequent access to a pleasant and secure outdoor garden area and they will be further stimulated by outings to the local community.

Nithsdale House's qualified cook will provide healthy nutritious meals and snacks to cater for all dietary and cultural requirements.

Leighann Bain, Nithsdale House's Nursery Manager said: "We look forward to building a strong and effective working relationship with parents so that they can be satisfied that their child is happy, safe and well-stimulated at all times.

"We aim to provide an environment in which each child can grow and develop at their own pace and where staff plan responsively to children's needs to ensure that learning is of the best possible value to children as individuals."
