Day Nurseries Owned by Thrive Childcare and Education in City of Edinburgh

Fantastic nursery all round! Staff are amazing, kind and thoughtful. I personally have been through a lot since my son has started nursery, but knowing I have the full support of the staff, I can breathe a bit easier. Could not fault anything!

Lovely staff, good variety of activities that keep my children engaged and happy. Only non-positive aspect is that the prices keep going up and it feels unsustainable, but that is a feature of the sector and not just this nursery. Ellie in particular has been brilliant, and is major reason why we stay at the nursery.

Lovely nursery, great staff and feel like my son is always well looked after, happy and safe. He absolutely LOVES coming to nursery which to me says it all. The daily reports are great, especially the photo moments so we can see what our babies are up to.

My child really enjoys nursery, and we feel safe and confident as parents. Plenty of time outdoors and doinf creative tasks. At times concerned about cleanliness in baby room when seeing people standing on play mats etc that babys were crawling on.

Brilliant nursery, super caring staff who have made the transition to 4 days a week nursery really easy for us. Great variety of activities and lovely facilities. I like how they take the children out for trips around town on sunny days. My child has bonded very well with her key workers.

We have sent our son to Corner House for over 2 years, from when he was a baby and now in pre-school. We are particularly impressed with the staff - they have all been exceptionally caring and attentive. The toddler and pre-school rooms have a lot of activities and educational elements which has enabled our son to thrive. It is very rewarding seeing the close connections he has made with the staff and his peers.

I was hesitant to put my three year old into a nursery setting following two years at home being cared for by a nanny but the staff at cornerhouse immediately put those worries to rest. They are absolutely fantastic with our daughter and the setting is great. They have such a huge outdoor area which our daughter adores and it means she's always doing something different and exciting. Danielle leads the pre school team wonderfully which makes for a very engaging environment. The staff are all so creative with the fun activities and lessons that they teach. Our daughter eats well and is always full of stories when she comes home which just shows how much she loves her days at the nursery. Steph really has made such wonderful changes since we first viewed the nursery and we look forward to sending our second child to the nursery when she's older.

My son H has been with Corner House Gillsland for nearly 1.5 years starting in the baby room and moving up to the toddler room. The permanent staff are really fantastic, going above and beyond to make my son feel happy, engaged and looked after. They do so many fun activities (shout out to the Christmas snow tray [made of sensory flour]) and he comes back full of excitement to tell us what he's been up to. The staff clearly care about their work and the chef is great. H eats so well at nursery and has picked up a love of curries (which sound delicious!). This is a great nursery.

The team have created a truly special place where our twins are not only cared for but are genuinely thriving. We're so grateful to them for helping to make their early years happy and memorable!

I am truly grateful for the care and commitment the team shows every day. Without doubt, this is the best nursery in Edinburgh.

The staff are wonderful at the nursery and are so warm and kind with my child. They have amazing outdoor spaces where the children can play and learn outside more than they do inside, which is great. Food is always varied and diverse and I know that they care and look after my child when they are there, which is comforting.

We are really happy with this nursery! The menu is great, offering a wide variety of healthy and tasty meals for the children. Management are very approachable and always listen to parents, which makes a big difference. The rooms are clean, tidy, and well looked after, creating a safe and welcoming environment. The staff are excellent with the children - caring, patient, and always engaging them in fun and educational activities. Highly recommend!

There has been quite few changes in term of management and staff over a year, but it doesn't seem to have affected my son.

100% would recommend!

A big Thanks to all the staff!

Would highly recommend this nursery.

I can't say enough good things about this nursery! The staff are absolutely wonderful - so caring, attentive, and always go above and beyond to make sure the girls are happy and well taken care of. It's clear that they truly love what they do, and it shows in how they interact with the children. My girls have loved being there every single day, and I feel completely confident that they're in great hands. The team is not only helpful but also super supportive, always ready to answer any questions and provide updates. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nurturing and safe environment for their little ones.

The management team are great, very hands on, continually looking at and improving areas of the nursery and great at keeping parents informed with what's going on.

My daughter is very happy and settled at Corner House Nursery Gillsland. She is currently in the preschool room and has attended since she was 1 year old. All staff are extremely friendly and all know my daughter by name (even those who don't work directly with her). The well-being of the children is a top priority. Communication is overall very good. The staff create engaging learning experiences for the children and provides opportunities to go on regular outings. External agencies come in for optional sessions (football, music class). Recent upgrades to the gardens have been extremely positive. The preschool garden in particular is a lovely place to play. Highly recommend this nursery.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to friends and family!
