Wellside Kindergarten, in Wellside Place, received the prestigious title down in Coventry earlier this month after making it to the final shortlist of the NDNA awards.

Wellside owner and manager Susan Hill said: “They pick the best nurseries in Wales, England and Scotland and we are the best in Scotland. We are over the moon – really pleased.

the past three decades was put up in the nursery for parents to have a look at in the days leading up to the anniversary celebration.
