The nursery at Lomond School has been rated the best in Scotland in a newly-published league table.
The 2023 Sunday Times Nursery School League Table features 3,300 nurseries from all over Scotland.
Nurseries are ranked on a six-point scale from unsatisfactory to excellent, across four measures – quality of care, the state of the building & setting, staffing and leadership. They are also allocated a three-point risk score of low, medium or high to identify providers that might need closer monitoring.
The average points for Scotland was 17.8 but Lomond Nursery achieved the highest possible score of 24.
Head of junior school and nursery Ailsa Lawn said: “Every day, we try to make sure that we capture the imaginations of our youngest pupils.
“All of this starts with valuing the importance of relationships and an ethos of care.
“It is always extra special when our beliefs and our work is validated by inspectors and we are thrilled to be given this accolade.”
The league table uses data from the Care Inspectorate Datastore, a spreadsheet updated monthly by the regulator.
The information in the table was taken from the official June dataset, the most recent figures available.
The weakest nurseries were in Aberdeen city (17.3), Highland (17.2), Argyll & Bute (17.1) and East Lothian (16.9), which all ranked below average.
