Welcome to Tender Loving Childcare
(TLC)
Why Choose TLC?
We are based in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, just next to Caulders Garden Centre. Our location is conveniently a short walk from the high street and easily accessed by bus, with links to surrounding towns and cities. With 18 years of dedicated service, we pride ourselves on being a trusted home away from home for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years.
At TLC, we believe in the unique potential of every child. Our experienced practitioners view each little one as an individual, tailoring our care to their specific needs and fostering an environment where they can thrive.
Nature plays a vital role in our approach. We ensure that every child has regular contact with the outdoors. From exploring our outdoor play areas to nature-inspired activities, we aim to create a connection between children and the natural world.
Exciting news! We've recently moved to bigger and brighter premises, providing an even more stimulating and comfortable space for your child to learn, grow, and play.
Join us at Tender Loving Childcare, where every day is an adventure in discovery and joy.
