Indigo Experience
The Indigo Experience describes the elements of our approach that make Indigo a special experience for families. It is founded on our values and acknowledges our commitment to making a positive difference for our children and young people, families, colleagues and the communities we serve.
We are committed to surprising our families and stakeholders every day by exceeding their expectations through the delivery of outstanding quality learning, childcare and children and young people’s services.
Our specific approaches to the inspiring environments, we offer indoor and out; the focus on language and communication through Loving Language and our Spanish programme; the specialist inclusive approach that ensures all children’s needs are met and our families are supported to champion that; Family Matters a programme that recognises and supports you as your child’s first teacher and expert and our commitment to growing leadership skills from our youngest to child to our oldest staff member, because we know the resilience this builds for learning and life and the ambition it inspires.
Indigo practitioners love our children and young people; they deliver unique, creative, high-quality play and learning experiences to our children and young people because they care, and they value and respect parents/carers as the critical partner in the process.
Testimonials
We get to do things as a family, and due to my daughter’s autism, she enjoys and is comfortable within the group and learning and meeting new folk, which can ... be a challenge. I also have great support from the group for my family, facing many issues, which also helps us with food and toiletries, which can be a great help.

Just to say a big thank you to all the staff for adding several hours onto their already long days and taking the time to speak to all the parents. ... You are all wonderful and I’m so grateful for the care, kindness and love that the nursery staff have towards the children.
Parent
It’s a fabulous service and brings the best out in my child.
Stay & Play parent or carer
We have had an exceptional experience with Indigo! All staff have been amazing and supported us and H through very tough times at school. Indigo did everything in their power ... to support H with his additional needs, as well as being very supportive of both his dad and me. We appreciate everything Indigo has done for us over the years. Thank you for a great experience.
Parent
The team is outstanding. Every single person wants to be there doing what they do. Nothing is a hassle . Everyone is always happy and pleasant and I feel that ... my child is in a happy and safe place.
School Aged parent
Your dedication to both the safety and entertainment of the children in your care was evident and greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much, everyone, for everything that you do to support us and especially support X. He is coming on leaps and bounds, and that is all thanks to ... the amazing work from everyone at Indigo.
Parent
Thank you once again for your outstanding contribution to the success of our event. We look forward to the possibility of working together in the future.
I have had the opportunity to gather help with Indigo to support my housing needs and to get the right accommodation for my family. I feel Indigo Childcare groups have ... a lot of information that is hard to find when you need help and support, not just childcare. I definitely know my life wouldn’t be going the way it is if it weren’t for Indigo. If I have a problem, I know where to turn, and they help and guide me in the right direction for the right support.
It helps get my oldest out and mixing with other children. Helps him feel more at home in a club that helps support his needs.
Stay & Play parent or carer
My daughter absolutely dotes on every single member of staff at OOSC. They go above and beyond each day to include her in activities and get to know her as ... an individual.
School Aged parent
It’s always a lovely, welcoming place. Roisin and Kirsty are so friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. It’s really nice to spend family time together somewhere close by that doesn’t ... cost anything during this cost-of-living crisis.
Stay & Play parent or carer
I think it is very helpful to families that need a little more support and can have their children attend somewhere that I know they are safe and that they ... both enjoy. It helps parents feel more confident and supported, it helps struggling parents and single parents be able to have a little break or catch up on things around the house.
Thank you so much for everything, you have been amazing!
Early Years parent
I have never seen how much a nursery keeps you posted while the children are at nursery, as I have until I moved L to this nursery, and it’s been ... the best decision I have ever made. The nursery is amazing and keeps you involved in everything daily.
Parent
Have had great support and advice to help us as a family after being homeless, and also with our daughter’s disability, it’s been great for her. Indigo gave us hope
Stay & Play Parent
This peace of mind was invaluable to us and every attendee. We even had a kid asking if they could come back the following weekend.
The staff have been brilliant, we have been put in the centre of our child’s development, and they genuinely feel like an extension of our own family, and I can’t ... really give any higher compliment than that.
Parent
Brought my child out of his shell, made lots of new friends.

Parent
Just keep being your wonderful selves. My daughter is happy, and that’s all I can ask for.
Parent
I believe Indigo has contributed towards giving my children a good childhood. They relieve stress from quite a stressful family dynamic. It has given them fantastic opportunities during summer holidays ... and after school, and they have learned new skills, grown in confidence and self-esteem.
Stay & Play parent or carer
We like that the nursery is in partnership with the school L will attend. The room staff are friendly and welcoming. My son enjoys going to nursery to see his ... friends. There are good facilities and resources, practical corners/areas with lots to play and do, as well as learning Spanish.
Parent
J has been in the Indigo child care group since he was a baby, 9months old, till now, he is 13 years old. I appreciate everything that all the staff ... have done for J, and he has loved everyone throughout the years. J is now at the age he can walk to my sister’s after school, and I’m finding he is not requiring the service more than he is these days. Thank you for everything over J’s childhood school days
Parent
It has been a fantastic experience. I am very grateful for everything the nursery has done for B. She’s a happy, confident girl and ready for school, and Indigo has ... played a huge part in that. Thank you.
Parent
Thank you so much for all the help I have received over the last 12 years. I could not have asked for a better service. From nursery to after school ... care and Indy Youth. You really do have the best staff, who are great with all the kids. I have been able to still work full-time time knowing my boy has been safe in your care. I may still need some help with holiday cover, and I know I will need to request this in advance. J and I will miss you all very much.
Parent
Settling in to nursery for A was really easy; the staff made it seamless. From day 1, we knew we had made the right choice as everyone was so friendly, ... and it seemed like they genuinely wanted the best for our child, and that’s such a relief as a first-time parent.
Parent
We absolutely could not have done it without you! Your involvement in their lives didn’t just mitigate against all the potential harms of the school holiday periods; you actively carved ... out opportunities and experiences which built wellbeing and resilience and bolstered them against many of the challenges they faced and continue to face. As a result, they thrive.

Parent
We feel included and would hug staff every day if we could… Lovely, friendly staff; even after a long day, they do a great job. It’s a real calling to ... choose early education and childcare as a career, and we are very grateful that A attends such a happy and nurturing nursery.

Indigo overall is a great service, I feel my son is more confident and has gained new friends since attending.
Parent
Everyone has been super supportive with every stage of A’s development from the very beginning all the way through. We have engaged with the staff to try and assist them ... with what A does at home to help them, and this is mutual. We take on board feedback about how staff have handled A and try and implement that stuff at home. Excellent service.

We are so happy with the service and the support we get from the staff. We don’t need to worry about the care we get over the holiday period.

Stay & Play parent or carer
It was great to meet new parents and for my little boy A to meet and socialise with other kids, and have lots of new activities to get involved in. ... It gave me lots of ideas for playtime and his development regarding his speech and walking. It was a fantastic day and the staff were amazing.

It has really improved confidence, helped them feel less isolated, given them new skills and opportunities that they wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. They have developed and learned skills they will ... use throughout life.

On behalf of the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research at the University of Glasgow, I want to express our sincere gratitude for the exceptional service your team provided ... during our recent event.
Both my boys attending have helped them so much in different ways, and I have to say how amazing the Indigo staff are and always so helpful/friendly and supportive.
Stay & Play parent or carer
They have built so much confidence, made strong relationships with staff and fellow children in the service. Get to try lots of activities they don’t get offered at school or ... we don’t have the means to do at home. It’s really brought them out of their shell.
Stay & Play parent or carer
I would say that as a service you have always been very supportive since day one in taking into account what my own kids need and the support they require ... and seeing them as individuals.
