Paxton Nursery received its name from Miss Paxton who opened the original nursery, situated in Lower Methil, in 1934. The present nursery was opened in 1960 and was the first purpose-built nursery in Fife. The main pre-school provision is housed in three rooms, the Rainbow Room, Sunflower Room and Butterfly Room, which currently accommodate up to 90 children. The fourth nursery room is our family room, we have a number of groups available which are open to anyone who has a child under the age of 5 years. As our groups change from term to term, please see our Facebook page for up-to-date information.
At Paxton we also cater for two-year-olds who attend 9-3, depending on their need and the availability of places.
Please take time to find your way around the website as we will be using it as a way of keeping you up to date with what is happening here at Paxton.
Dear Parent
A warm welcome is extended to you by everyone at Paxton Nursery.
For many of you, starting nursery will be the beginning of a long journey through the education process with your child.
Our nursery team firmly believes in building a positive partnership with our families. We aim for all children to be happy, confident individuals who are able to work with each other and who go on to develop a love for learning.
We have prepared this booklet to answer some of the questions you may have and, more importantly, to invite you to chat with us about any points you would like clarified. We look forward to working with you and your child.
Yours sincerely
Sandie Johnston
