CONGRATULATIONS MRS WILKIE
Lifetime Achievement Award 2025
A much deserved congratulations goes out to our very own Mrs Wilkie, on winning the ‘The National Lifetime Achievement Award’ at the Scottish Nursery Awards 2025!!
The Scottish Nursery Awards recognise excellence in the early years sector, shining a spotlight on the outstanding nurseries, teams and individuals in Scotland who are going above and beyond to nurture young minds.
It was a glitzy Oscar-style ceremony held on 22nd November at the Glasgow Marriott as Alisa picked up her award for work at Bardykes Farm Nursery School.
Her proud husband Sandy (Mr Wilkie) said, “I’m a very proud husband! Indeed, I’m very happy to sing her praises for the sterling job she’s done in launching, managing, nurturing and maintaining the nursery, nowadays along with our daughter dear, who continues to develop Bardykes Farm Nursery School. Well done!”
Congratulations Mrs Wilkie. Such recognition is thoroughly deserved and we may also take this opportunity to say well done too, to the hard working staff who collectively make Bardykes Nursery such a special place.

Children and Staff at Bardykes Present Nativity Story
Every year, at Bardykes Farm Nursery School in Blantyre, the children and staff present the Nativity story to families and friends. In December 2024, it was decided to donate the monies raised through ticket sales, a tombola and baking sales to RHET Clyde. Owner of the Nursery, Ailsa Wilkie, is pictured above with Manager Katie and RHET Clyde Coordinator, Kris with some of the children who were involved in the Nativity when a cheque for £500 was presented. Also pictured are the Nursery's pet lambs, Meryl Sheep and Lady Baa Baa! Many thanks to the Nursery staff, families and RHET Clyde's committee who helped with this and of course, the children.
