Bright Horizons Elsie Inglis Early Learning and Childcare
from Y C (Mother of Child) published on 17 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our child has been attending Elsie Ignis since they were just 9 months old, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The support we've received has been wonderful from the very beginning. The staff and teachers are kind, nurturing, and genuinely care about each child's development and well-being.
We've

also been really impressed with how well the nursery embraces diversity and inclusion. As a family from a different cultural background, we've always felt welcomed and respected. The teachers make a real effort to include and celebrate different cultures, which helps every child feel valued and at home.
Another thing that stands out is their commitment to continuous improvement. The nursery is always evolving and looking for ways to enhance the learning experience, and it shows in the engaging activities and positive atmosphere.
Overall, it's a warm, caring, and inclusive environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Watching Skye doing her all about me book, picking her folder and her teacher was great at explaining about what Skye was doing in nursery was a great experience for myself and Skye's grandmother. Keep up the great work.

Bright Horizons Cramond Early Learning and Childcare
from M D (Mother of Child) published on 9 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter loved going to this nursery. She started it in 2021 when she was 16 months old ,and graduated in 2025. The staff did everything possible to make her transitions as smooth as possible. The nursery teachers are very creative , supportive, and understand child's needs very well. My daughter

always felt included and safe. Their hard work boosted her learning and confidence. Their communication with parents is also excellent. The administration team is also great ,supportive, and keen to resolve any issues and. Bright Horizons at Cramond is a very clean setting, and its location is a bonus ,as children can enjoy great walks into nature. Their meals are fantastic as well. I would highly recommend this nursery!

Bright Horizons Cramond Early Learning and Childcare
from K R (Mother of Child) published on 9 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We're so pleased that our daughter had such a wonderful, nourishing, kind nursery. We honestly couldn't have wanted better for her.
The staff (especially three members of staff, in particular) have been such a positive influence on our daughter. As a parent, you do worry if your child is progressing

/ acting appropriately- however one member of staff especially always made us feel like ' it's nothing/ normal ' attitude, when at times were difficult and we really appreciated this more than she probably knew.
There were times we were a bit concerned with staff for reasons, however the manager listened and felt our concerns were heard and acted out appropriately.
Our daughter loved nursery and there is literally nothing more we could have wanted. We would absolutely recommend this nursery and wish them nothing but continued success!
(My slight negative is the food - sometimes the snacks provided, we felt weren't great, but that's a small opinion and might not be the case for all).

Bright Horizons Elsie Inglis Early Learning and Childcare
from N S (Mother of Child) published on 9 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Elsie Inglis is an excellent nursery, the staff are absolutely brilliant and consistent. My child was very shy but with the support from the teachers, was able to overcome their fears and make lots of friends. For a nursery being so close to the city centre it is very easy to access. The staff are so

friendly and extremely informative - they always provide lots of feedback. The management are very responsive and very helpful. A unique part of Elsie Inglis is their weekly visits to the care home which provides both the children and elderly residents a different perspective and of course lots of fun. The chef is absolutely brilliant and engages with the children and parents which I think is very important.
I cant thank Elsie's staff and management enough for their continuous support and commitment. Highly Recommend.

Overall Experience

My daughter had a wonderful experience at Elsie Inglis during her year and a half in the preschool room. All the staff were absolutely fantastic. Very attentive, friendly and fun! My daughter built great bonds with many of them.
She really enjoyed all the educational activities. We could see this contributing

towards her development in preparation for school. The nursery spent a great deal of time and care communicating what she was learning with written reports and pictures.
Ultimately she was very excited to go in every week and we knew she was being well cared for. Definitely recommend Elsie Inglis as a great nursery.

Overall Experience

Strong management team. Staff care about the children and go the extra mile both inside and outside the nursery. In particular what impresses me is that the staff from the other rooms know our sons name even though they do not interact with him on a daily basis. Our son is happy and loves going to nursery.

Completely trust the staff, our son is in safe hands. A good variety of activities at nursery to help stimulate his growth and development as well as stimulate him.

Hello, your 5-star review is greatly appreciated! We're delighted that your son is loving their time at our nursery.

Overall Experience

I have two children at Bright Horizons Annandale and could not be happier with the nursery. Both children just love it there, have fantastic relationships with staff and their friends, learn so much, and have endless fun. The staff are so knowledgeable, caring, enthusiastic and kind. The facilities

are great and wholesome and varied meals are served. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone looking for a fun, nurturing, stable and educational environment for their child in Edinburgh.

We've had the best experience with Annandale! The staff are phenomenal! They always let us know how our baby is doing for the day and what he's been up to, and get excited when he learns new things. The facilities are bright and clean, and I love that the kids get to spend so much time outside!

They also provide so many delicious meals to our little one.

Overall Experience

My child has attended this nursery since he was around 11 months old and he will be leaving at the end of summer to attend primary school. He has ASN and the staff have really gone above and beyond in his care, especially in the last two years or so as his needs have evolved. They care deeply for the

children and it's clear to see in the day to day. My son loves it there and has always adored his key staff members.

Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with the first few months our son has had at Elsie Inglis in the baby room. The staff have been wonderful to both him and us during his settling in period. We have been delighted at how quickly he has felt comfortable there and how much he enjoys his days at nursery. That is thanks

to the kindness of the staff, the engaging activities and the food (special mention to the chef!). We love the detailed + personalised updates we receive about our son's days at pick up and through the app. Thank you to everyone and especially his fantastic key worker who our son gives a huge smile to each morning.
