Glasgow’s best nurseries have been revealed in a new league table by The Times and The Sunday Times, which ranks every nursery and childcare provider in Scotland based on their Care Inspectorate ratings.
The care regulator awards grades ranging from six points for excellent to one point for unsatisfactory. Providers are graded across four categories - setting, staff, leadership and quality of care, and play and learning.
Using official data published by the Care Inspectorate, The Times and Sunday Times have published a full Scottish childcare league table.
You can find the list of Scotland’s best ranked nurseries here, and the country’s worst ranked nurseries here.
We’ve also put together a list of the top ten nurseries in Edinburgh.
Under the gradings system, the maximum combined points achievable is 24 - which would mean the nursery has secured top scores in each of the categories.
