Day Nursery Owned by UOE Accommodation Ltd in City of Edinburgh

Recently, my wife went to collect our daughter for a GP appointment. When she entered the room, the staff didn't immediately notice her but my wife saw that they were plaiting my daughter's hair, speaking softly and kindly to her while she prepared for her doctor's appointment. It was just a small moment that represented all that we value about this nursery. Highly recommend.

routine and activities which as a parent is great to hear about. Although we have noticed some staff are better at doing this than others
- Any concerns we have raised have always been dealt with swiftly by management.

She is challenged every day and brings that learning home with her.

We are very happy with it and so is our child!

are loads of fun activities to keep him busy and he always comes home smiling (and sometimes tired out, which is a bonus!). The location works really well for us, and the price is fair compared to others we looked at. Honestly can't fault it and would definitely recommend to other parents.

development.
One feature we really value is their use of the app. The nursery regularly uploads photos, which gives us insight into our son's day and helps us feel more connected to his experiences. This level of communication is something we genuinely appreciate.
It's clear that the team at Arcadia takes the time to understand each child and adapt their approach accordingly. We're glad to have found a nursery that feels like a good fit for our little one.

and are so, so happy to leave them each morning!

is involved in every day. Daily communication from the staff about what my son has done is very helpful. My son loves to go to nursery every day to see his friends and the friendly staff who are always welcoming and happy to see each and every child who arrives in the morning. Now the weather is getting better the garden has become one of my son's favourite activities and with the resources available in the garden he can run around with his friends or pretend play whether making mud pies or riding bikes. I continue to be very impressed with Arcadia and would recommend it 100% to anyone who needs their child(ren) looked after.

always reluctant to leave our side, so this is a huge change for him and one that wouldn't have happened without the excellence of the team and environment there! Care is also given to manage our son's allergies, and there is a process in place to help manage flare-ups, monitor conditions and administer prescribed supplies. Food is prepared on-site, so can be customised for individual allergy needs. The team are friendly and professional and while they are very much child-first (as they should be!), they also respect the concerns of parents and work with them to overcome what is needed for the benefit of the child. We recommend Arcadia Kings Buildings and give a special shout out to the team there!

well-being and development. As two foreigners with demanding jobs and no family nearby, we were worried about starting nursery so early. But with short maternity leave and no extra help, it was our only option. Thankfully, he quickly bonded with his nanny and the staff, which was a relief (though I'll admit I felt a bit jealous!). The social interaction and gentle peer pressure have helped his development too; he has even hit some milestones early. Arcadia has become like an extended family for us, and we're incredibly thankful for the care they've provided to our son (and, by extension, to us). We highly recommend Arcadia Nursery. They've been a real lifesaver.

is its dedication to working closely with parents. The staff communicates openly and regularly, ensuring that parents are kept informed and involved in their child's experiences and progress. What truly sets Arcadia Nursery apart is its genuine commitment to understanding and nurturing each child's unique personality, interests, and developmental milestones. The staff creates a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore and learn. We are grateful for the caring staff who go above and beyond to support our child's growth and development. We feel fortunate to be part of such a wonderful community.

and making sure they learn and have fun throughout the day.

communication about her day (nappies/seep/food eaten etc). She comes home happy and clean and we have peace of mind that she’s been well looked after in the best facilities. Opening hours are good for the 8am working parents and the price includes everything which is superb.

is incredibly important. In summary, great staff make a great nursery setting.

great for his needs.

re. our child’s day at nursery.
The building itself is amazing with great space indoors and outdoors.

provided to him to develop independence and learning practical skills (tidying up, keeping his drawings in his own personal storage tray, baking, helping out in daily tasks/routines). We are also looking forward to our son attending nature school next year with the pre-schoolers. Such a wonderful opportunity.
The feedback I receive from nursery practitioners is always so thoughtful and it’s clear that my child is well cared for. Our family love Arcadia @ Kings Buildings.
