Nicer information about pictures of childcare facility (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kindergarten

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'childcare facility' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'nicer information about pictures' is the wordplay.
'nicer' becomes 'kinder' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'information' becomes 'gen' (gen is a kind of information).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'pictures' becomes 'art'.
'gen' enclosing 'art' is 'garten'.
'kinder'+'garten'='KINDERGARTEN'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kindergarten that I've seen before include "Pre-school institution for little children" , "Nursery school" , "Children's school" , "Hamburger's first class" , "minor institution" .)
