Playrooms within our nursery are generously proportioned, carefully planned and extensively resourced to create inspiring learning environments in which children can grow and learn with confidence. We pride ourselves on offering children focused activities and regular access to outdoor play areas to enhance their learning opportunities and encourage learning across all areas of the curriculum.
Our nursery has been an established and respected Centre for Early Year's Care in Aberdeen now for 20 years which has enabled us to develop a strong reputation for delivering quality childcare and meeting the needs of individual children and their families.
We accept all childcare vouchers and offer 15-30 funded hours for 3-5 year olds. Our spaces can fill very fast so we do recommend you enquire as early as possible to ensure you get the sessions and start date you require.

Our Nursery Team
Hello 😊 My name is Jillian, and I have over 12 years of childcare experience working in various roles to support children’s development. I think it is essential to share my skills and experiences with everyone in our nursery – we are happy to help with everything here. I am passionate about providing high-quality childcare and ensuring all children are learning and having fun at Cove Bay nursery. I have a little boy who’s 9 months old. He is attending the nursery with me. In my spare time, I enjoy going on long walks across Scotland and Cove Bay area and spending time with my family.

“I have used Cove Bay Kindergarten over 6 years. I have seen a number of staff come and go during this period, one constant fact is the professionalism of these staff. Whether a staff was new or old they always showed great enthusiasm in welcoming the child and parent as well as giving feed back on the child's activities through out the day.”
“My son enjoys going to nursery particularly the structure and routine and his behaviour has definitely improved recently due to developing relationships with the staff who are regularly in his room.”
“(The staff) are what makes this nursery the place I trust to care for my children. The ladies are so dedicated and they take time to listen and communicate with the parents and most of all they care so much for the children. My boys are happy and content when they are in nursery and I have no issues regarding their safety and well-being when in the care of these ladies.”
