About Us

We are dedicated to providing exceptional early years education and care. With six nurseries conveniently located in the West End of Edinburgh, commuting by bus or train is simple and stress free.

Why Work With Us

We are a forward thinking, family run group of nurseries. Our nurseries combine a warm and caring environment with the very latest teaching techniques.

We provide a unique learning and working environment. Our staff are encouraged to take learning outdoors wherever possible. We regularly go to the woods for Forest school, the beach for our Coastal Classroom, the Commonwealth Pool for swimming lessons and out and about making the most of our city centre locations.

Our practitioners also benefit from ongoing support, excellent training opportunities and career development from our dedicated management team.
