The nursery boasts professional qualified Early Years Practitioners including degree and masters level qualifications, with professionals totally dedicated to provide the finest childcare and ensure children are well prepared for Primary School.

Everyone working in the nursery has undergone the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) records check. All our professionals in their particular areas are totally dedicated and fully committed to providing the finest care for the children. All staff are First Aid trained and qualified.

Family Owned

Scallywags Day Nursery has remained with the same family since 2006, when Maureen and John Scott bought the nursery. With Maureen being an experienced qualified early years teacher, they were particularly keen to extend the outside play areas, have a separate pre-school, and baby room, to give the children an enjoyable learning environment, which can be seen today.

In 2015 their son Alan Scott joined the team, and is the Managing Director of the nursery. Alan has previously worked for many years in finance and has masters degree in business management and finance. He is married to Amy and they have two children. Maureen and John have now mainly retired, but keep an interest in the nursery. Alan is dedicated to running an excellent, caring, safe and happy nursery for children and parents.

The day to day running of the nursery is supervised by our Nursery Management Team (see below), which is overseen by Alan

Our Ethos

At Scallywags we are committed to providing a healthy, safe and caring environment that fosters a passion for learning through play, both indoors and outdoors. We nurture a stimulating environment to develop each child's individuality and uniqueness enabling them to reach their full potential. Staff and Parents work in partnership to provide the highest standard of care and education, with learning tailored to each child through their interests and passions, whilst having as much fun as possible. We place high value on developing children's speech and language and promoting the benefits of outdoor play in a happy and fun setting. Above all, we aim to give our children a wonderful experience, with specialist qualified practitioners supporting them in developing their self-confidence, resilience and self-esteem.

“There are nurseries much closer to me, but I visited every other nursery and only liked Scallywags. The food has been fantastic, the children have been so happy with you, they trusted and really cared for all of you. They have left confident and so well prepared for the next steps. I will really really miss you all.”

“Over the past four years a very special thank you for taking care of our daughter. Each year you have helped her grow from a baby into a little girl, who is kind and caring. Thank you for always guiding her and making learning fun! You all have been a massive help and such an important part of her life.”

“A huge thank you for all the care that you have shown our boys over the years. As a parent it's always nerve wrecking leaving your children in the care of another person but from day one you have instilled nothing but confidence in us about the childcare that you provide. Hats of to the chef and all her hard work. She seems to manage to prepare meals that they always have second helpings of. Then when I try to recreate it at home am met with 'it's not as nice as the nursery one'!”
