Born in 1946 and brought up in Cupar, Fife, I was educated at the local school - 
Mr Stevenson commented:
The Playschool received seven excellent and two very good ratings.
“The work of the staff at Gardenstown Playschool across the board has been recognised. It is particularly pleasing to note that the children are motivated and that they are making excellent progress with their early language and mathematics.
“The staff working together as a team has also been remarked upon in the report, as well as their positive interactions with the children.
“It must be pleasing for those involved with Gardenstown Playschool that Education Scotland and the Care Inspectorate have not made any recommendations or issued any requirements for the Playschool. This is amongst the best education inspection reports that I have seen during my time as an MSP and everyone at Gardenstown Playschool should be proud of the work that they undertake in providing a good quality start in life for its attendees.”
