A child's nursery years represent the first break with the routines of home, the first anxieties for parents. It is important that this crucial phase of life is entrusted to a good nursery school with qualified professional staff. A good nursery school makes a child feel secure, provides a gentle introduction to learning and offers flexible timings to suit the needs of parents.

Purpose built - the newest Edinburgh nursery building

The Edinburgh Academy's new nursery building opened in 2008. It was designed and built as a nursery and is beautifully situated in its own area of the campus with landscaped gardens and an external play area. This nursery is about as different as you can imagine from the traditional idea of an Edinburgh nursery housed in converted buildings and located in restricted space!

Care outside Edinburgh nursery hours

Edinburgh nurseries regularly need to cope with the children of two working parents. At the Edinburgh Academy you can, if you choose, have your child of 3 years and upwards looked after from 8am till 6pm every day throughout the year with only a few exceptions.
