Transition

Every child’s early years are a special adventure; and at Kidstore, we’re here to make that journey as joyful and nurturing as possible. From first steps into nursery life to confident transitions into the next stage, we provide a caring, home-from-home environment where children feel safe, loved, and ready to learn.

At Kidstore, every child belongs and every journey is celebrated.

What to expect

As your child moves through our rooms and grows with us, we tailor experiences to match their stage of development: supporting friendships, independence, and a deep love of learning. And when the time comes to take their next big step beyond nursery, we work closely with you and your child to make that transition smooth, positive, and full of excitement for what’s ahead.

  • A warm and gentle welcome for both child and parent

  • Loving care and attention tailored to your child’s needs

  • Stimulating indoor and outdoor learning at every stage

  • Opportunities to build friendships, independence, and resilience

  • Play-based learning guided by Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence

  • Strong partnerships with families — we work with you every step of the way

  • A supportive, well-planned transition to school when the time is right

Dreamweavers

For our tiniest learners, Kidstore is a warm, nurturing space where they can feel safe, secure, and loved. With cosy surroundings, plenty of cuddles, and gentle routines, we help your baby explore the world through sensory play, music, stories, and lots of one-to-one attention.

Transition to School

When the time comes, we work closely with families and local schools to ensure each child feels happy, confident, and ready for the move to Primary 1.

Through supportive transition activities, visits, and plenty of conversations, we help make this next big step a positive and exciting one, for children and parents alike.

Tambourers

In the Preschool Room, children become confident, capable learners. Through a rich blend of play-based experiences, from literacy and numeracy to STEM, creativity, and outdoor adventures: we prepare them for the next stage with excitement and pride. We encourage problem solving, resilience, and a real love of learning. 

Goldspinners

As your little one grows, so does their curiosity! In our Toddler Room, children are encouraged to explore, discover, and express themselves through play. We support early friendships, independence, and language development: all while giving them space to move, climb, and create.
