Designing a nursery from scratch which caters for children from birth to three has been a labour of love for owner Elaine Terry. Like her other two nurseries in the West End of Aberdeen, the new St Swithin Infant Nursery occupies a traditional, nineteenth century granite house. But unlike the others, it offers an environment that is tailored exclusively to babies and toddlers.
With its wealth of original features including high ceilings and elaborate cornicing, Mrs Terry says she has enhanced the natural beauty of the property in a way she believes is aesthetically appealing to babies. This includes designing beautiful stain glass windows with child-appealing scenes - which are greatly admired by parents.
