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. A good nursery school provides a gentle introduction to learning. A good nursery school offers flexible timings to suit the needs of parents. Amongst Edinburgh nurseries, The Edinburgh Academy Nursery stands out as able to offer all of these.

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 sort of purpose built facility is rare amongst Edinburgh nurseries. Its scale is appropriate to small children. Its interior fittings are excellent and its external environment is second to none. Edinburgh nurseries are often housed in buildings converted from other purposes and located in restricted space; The Edinburgh Academy Nursery is about as far from this traditional idea of an Edinburgh nursery as you can imagine!
