About Us

Babes in the Wood was originally a child-minding facility set up and operated by Lorna Collie and Rebecca McCarron in Lorna's home.  
In 2008 it expanded into the current premises at 1 Queens Road, where Rebecca took over ownership. 

​

It remains a small family-run nursery, although now employing about 12 additional staff.  It is registered for a total of 48 children from age 0 to 5 years, with space for a small number of after-school children.
 
We operate 3 separate classes: age 0-2; age 2-3 and 3+, although for some activities the 2s and 3+ combine.  

​

We are open from 7:30am - 5:30pm Monday to Friday. We close for two weeks over Christmas/New Year, one day for April weekend and one day for May day weekend.

​

The nursery is registered with the Care Inspectorate formerly known as SCSWIS or Care Commission and is regularly monitored in accordance with the National Care Standards and Regulation of Care.
