treated her with love and care, and were just as excited as us as she met her milestones. She clearly bonded very well with her caregivers, and was always happy to be dropped off. Thank you!

for parent involvement (Christmas fayres, summer fun days etc). Our children have benefitted from fun, inventive activities, lots of time outdoors (including forest school sessions and lots of nature walks) and the most wonderful, nurturing, thoughtfully tailored care from the staff. They have formed really special relationships with the staff, many of whom of been there throughout the children's entire time at nursery, and whose affection for the children and dedication to their jobs is obvious. We feel so, so lucky we found this nursery as it has really shaped our life as a family and provided the most wonderful, 'above and beyond' care for our two little ones.

learning, which is at the very core of the nursery curriculum. Every member of staff is very caring and they genuinely seemed to love their job and the kids.
The management is excellent as well and the communication with the parents/carers is always clear and easy.
Couldn't have wished anything better for our children!
Keep up the great job!

the gorgeous hospital grounds.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.

very friendly to each other. We're very pleased with the experience. The staff were very caring.

A couple of years ago there has been a bit of staff turnover that impacted our son when he was about 2. I feel the situation has been better in the recent year.

a wealth of experience. The access they have to the hospital grounds presents wonderful learning and playing opportunities in a beautiful natural environment, including taking part in nature school. Time at nursery and preschool has been one of the most precious things we have had, particularly through the difficult times during the pandemic. I would recommend this nursery wholeheartedly.

and about in nature almost every day. They run a nature school which my child has really enjoyed. The staff are so friendly and fun - obviously making a real effort to do interesting activities with the kids. It's great!

Highly recommend to anyone.

doing with the children. There are different topics each week - e.g how a post office works, counting and learning money, numbers, alphabet and so on. You are doing a great job, well done. It is much appreciated. Thank you.

Nature School - is a massive positive and the highlight of my child's week.

reassuring to an anxious mum like me.

different rooms. I believe the care and learning opportunities, whether inside or outside are excellent. They always have healthy meals and snacks. This nursery is not the closest to hour house, but definitely worth the travel.

outdoor play is fundamental to the nursery's approach.

There are different events on through the year, including the Zoo lab (where the zoo visits the nursery with some animals), and a summer BBQ.
The Grange Loan nursery is based in the Astley Ainslie grounds, which is a wonderful setting - lots of rooms for the older kids (and toddlers) to roam about. Although the site is to close in about 5 years the nursery is taking an active part in plans to retain some/all of the site for the community. I would highly recommend this nursery - it's been fantastic for us and our son, and we look forward to enjoying it for a good few years yet!
