Part time and full time nursery education
What is a good nursery school?
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. 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.
Edinburgh Academy little nursery (2 year olds)
The Edinburgh Academy Little Nursery is the first step out of the family at home into the family of education. It’s a small specialist nursery designed for that problem age of two, where children are too old for a crèche and too young for an ordinary Edinburgh nursery. In and around Edinburgh nurseries of this kind are hard to find. The Edinburgh Academy Little Nursery is open from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. every weekday. We shall be able to take 2 year olds all day from January 2009 upon the completion of new Edinburgh Academy nursery building at Arboretum.

The Edinburgh Academy Part-Time Nursery offers morning only places from 8.45 a.m. until 12 noon. This nursery's main task in the early months is to make sure, for you, that your child feels secure.

In Edinburgh nursery schools are not as common as you may think. Edinburgh nurseries are not all the same. Care nurseries do not include nursery teaching. The Edinburgh Academy Nursery is a nursery school. That means it has fully qualified and expert nursery teaching staff. The reputation of The Edinburgh Academy guarantees your peace of mind. Amongst Edinburgh nurseries, The Edinburgh Academy Nursery stands out as a genuine nursery school.
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 looked after from 8am till 6pm every day throughout the year with only a few exceptions. Holiday Club covers all bar a few days of the school holidays. Amongst Edinburgh nurseries The Edinburgh Academy Nursery stands out as one that offers extended hours care.
The Edinburgh Academy Nursery staff are fully qualified and are determined to ensure that your child's first experience of learning is structured and productive. Equally, it must be fun. With that foundation, your child can move through to the primary school years with bright interest and a positive attitude. Without qualified staff, some Edinburgh nurseries are most unlikely to achieve this important goal. 
The Denham Green Building, home of the full time nursery, was opened in 1987. It was designed and built as a nursery and is beautifully situated in its own secluded area of the campus to the north of the main Junior School block. 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. A larger new building should be ready by Autumn 2008. 
The Edinburgh Academy full time Nursery is located on the main Edinburgh Academy Junior School campus but in its own secluded area. Few Edinburgh nursery school children are able to enjoy such wonderful play areas, surrounded by trees and grass, which in turn can become an outdoor classroom of enviable proportions. We are also building a completely new nursery and
after-school facility on the site. This exciting new
development will bring together the two parts of the Nursery.
Through easing the transition between home life and education The Edinburgh Academy Nursery will prepare children for entry into The Edinburgh Academy Junior School where the 5 to 14 curriculum commences. The Edinburgh Academy Junior School is a small co-educational school with small classes, meaning that personally tailored teaching can be offered to every child. In turn it will prepare children for the Edinburgh Academy Senior School. The Edinburgh nursery best placed to manage the crucial first stage of this transition is The Edinburgh Academy Nursery.
