St Margarets Nursery & Pre-school - Edinburgh

Phil H

Both of our children have been attending St Margarets this last year and we are extremely happy with the experience they have had.

The children both love it there and have formed great bonds with the excellent staff and also created some amazing friendships with their peers. We have seen amazing progress in their development thanks to the teaching and care at the nursery. The facilities are excellent with a wide range of activities and access to a wonderful outside area. There is also great communication with end of the day catch ups and online blogs.

I would highly recommend St Margarets.

Our little girl has been going to St Margaret’s for the last almost 18 months. It is such a wonderful nursery, the facilities are lovely and fresh and clean. The staff clearly care so much about the children. Our little girl tells us all about her little friends and how one of her teachers is her best friend. With all the different activities and resources they have available it is clear how much this setting has helped our daughters development. The food offering is also excellent with our daughter trying loads of new foods. It’s so lovely to know how happy our daughter is at nursery.

Our son (2 & 3/4s) attends this nursery, and has done since he was 9 months old and we have been delighted with his time at St Margaret's. The facilities are terrific, with large rooms for play/ education and there is significant outside space for the children to enjoy in all seasons. Their menu is varied and extensive, and they seem to have more success at getting him to eat different things than we do which is a big bonus. However, the real asset and reason we value the nursery so much is the staff - our son has transitioned through three classes with new teachers so far, but each time the staff have been considerate and kind, and have made a positive impression, not only on ourselves but also on our son directly. Would highly recommend.

Our son has been at St Margaret’s nursery for over a year and he has loved every day there! He has been in 3 rooms as he’s developed and all the staff across the whole are wonderful! The rooms are inviting, stimulating and engaging with quiet areas of cuddles & reading. The food sounds delicious, varied and plentiful. Regular updates online and at the end of the day make me feel connected to his day and help us with ideas for the weekend!

We’ve been delighted with the care and attention our son receives at St. Margaret’s Nursery. The management's flexibility with start dates has been exceptional.
The staff are very supportive, providing regular updates at pick-up, which we find reassuring. Additionally, their online journal gives a glimpse into our son's day. While we wish for more frequent updates in their online journal, we understand the effort involved and hope for one update every week or once every two weeks!
The big, bright interiors and gardens contribute to a spacious and well-lit setting, creating a wonderful atmosphere for kids to thrive in. Their strong communication strategy, including updates on learning activities and meal menus, adds an extra layer of transparency and involvement for parents, enhancing the overall experience.
Seeing our son so happy there reassures us that this nursery has played a significant role in his development. Overall, we’re grateful for the nurturing environment and care our child receives at St. Margaret’s Nursery.

We love St Margarets and are so delighted that we chose it for our two wee boys.

The nursery offers a huge range of activities each week focusing on different learning outcomes each week and the regular photos and updates provided by the staff are a joy to receive.

The staff and all so kind and it is clear to see how much the children at the nursery love them. We would recommend this nursery to anyone about and are proud to be connected to such a lovely community.

We really like St Margaret’s Nursery for our 14 month old son. He was a little unsettled when he first started but all the staff helped to ease him in and put our minds at ease! We always feel we can ask questions and staff are very friendly and helpful. Hayleigh, Emma and Claire are amazing with our little one and we love hearing his end of day updates.

The building itself is big and the outside space is lovely. We would recommend St Margaret’s to anyone.

Ever since our daughter arrived at St Margaret’s we have had nothing but positive experiences, from the thoroughly personable staff that take the time to get to know all the children, to the fantastic building and grounds that they get to explore and play in ever day. The detailed reports at handover at the end of each day reassure us that our girls are eating, sleeping and enjoying themselves, as do the daily picture and video updates via the app. We took our time in choosing the place we trusted the most with our girls, and feel it has been entirely vindicated by choosing St Margaret’s.
