Cradle Hall Nursery

Choosing a nursery is an important decision for you and your family, therefore we hope the following information will answer your questions about our aims and standards of childcare and education to enable you to have complete confidence that you are making the right choice.

Cradle-Hall Nursery was established in 1995 and provides quality care and education for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years in a relaxed, caring environment by experienced nursery staff.

The nursery is conveniently situated within the Cradlehall area of Inverness, only a few minutes drive from the city centre. A main bus route serves us and there are ample car parking spaces available at the front of the nursery.

Our staff are committed to providing the highest standards of professional childcare and education. Before beginning employment at Cradle-Hall Nursery, all staff are thoroughly vetted in accordance with Care Commission Requirements (i.e. an enhanced Disclosure Scotland police check, a medical reference and two written references).

Cradle-Hall Nursery is committed to providing training and development for all staff including: SVQ 2, 3 and 4 in Early Years Care and Education, First Aid, Child Protection, Food Hygiene, Health and Safety and Child Development.

Continued Professional Development (CPD) is also available to all staff through the joint Highland Council and Care and Learning Alliance Training Programme which covers all aspects of the Scottish Office Curriculum Framework (3 - 5 Years) and Birth to Three: Supporting our Youngest Children.

We pride ourselves in keeping our staff long term and many are mature mothers or grandmothers themselves. Photographs of the nursery staff are situated in the entrance hall.
