Where little ones
learn, play & grow
A warm and welcoming environment for children to learn, play, and grow, with two settings in leafy Perthshire, Aberuthven and Bridge of Earn.
Welcome to 
Our Doodlebugs Nurseries provide a warm and welcoming environment for children to learn, play and grow. We have two settings, located in leafy Perthshire, Aberuthven and Bridge of Earn, each offering a warm, calm and friendly space where children feel comfortable and supported. Our teams create a positive atmosphere where children can settle in, build confidence, and enjoy their day.
At both of our nurseries, children take part in a range of everyday activities to support their play and learning. We also love the outdoors at Doodlebugs, and both nurseries have their own large outdoor spaces. We aim to provide a balanced and enjoyable routine that supports children's development while allowing them to explore and learn in their own way. Whether you visit us in Aberuthven or Bridge of Earn, you will find a relaxed and caring environment where children are encouraged to feel happy, secure, and involved.
Pop us a message if you would like to arrange a time to visit either of our settings, we will be happy to have you come and look around our nurseries. We understand the importance of choosing the right childcare setting for your family.

What Parents Say
Don't just take our word for it, hear from the families who trust us with their little ones.
We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery for our daughter. The staff are incredibly caring, nurturing, and dedicated, and she has formed strong bonds with some of the most important people in her young life. Seeing how much she enjoys her time there is the best endorsement we could give as parents.
We cannot speak highly enough about Doodlebugs. From the moment we enrolled our daughter, we've seen nothing but love, care, and dedication from the staff. The teachers go above and beyond to ensure the children feel safe, happy, and excited to learn. Our little girl has thrived here.
We have been attending Doodlebugs Aberuthven for over 6 years and all 3 of our children have benefitted greatly from the welcoming, friendly and experienced team there. Our little ones are happy and developing well, and a big part of their journey has been supported by their time at Doodlebugs.
