Review of St Margarets Nursery & Preschool Craigmillar Park from Tom W (Father of Child) published on 20 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
St Margarets Nursery is fabulous! I have 2 sons there who both love it, they are delighted to run in each morning and come out with huge smiles on their faces, so win win for my wife and I. The staff are all fantastic, so positive, helpful and provide safe and fun environment for all. The food sounds better than what I get at home!

We get fantastic regular updates via a mobile app, so feel connected to the boys on what they have been doing all day. The activities are really well planned and help with their development. It's night and day between other nurseries we have seen, I am so glad we were able to secure a place for my 2 boys.

Overall Experience

We have had a really positive experience from the day our eldest daughter first started at St Margarets. The staff go the extra mile, they are so personable and engaging and the detailed reports we receive for both of our girls at the end of each day reassure us that they receive the very best care and attention. The daily picture and video updates via the app are excellent too and keep us informed of the diverse range of activities they partake in. A great nursery in a lovely setting - thanks so much for looking after our girls so well.

Review of St Margarets Nursery & Preschool Craigmillar Park from Phil H (Father of Child) published on 15 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

This is a great, well-organised nursery with fantastic staff who are very professional, but also very caring of the children in each room. There is good food service, lots of activities, and the teachers pay special attention to creating a friendly and welcoming environment.

Overall Experience

St Margarets Nursery & Preschool has been a great stepping stone for my little boy’s journey into the outside world. He loves the space and the staff and looks forward to attending every day which is a testament to the fact how lovely the environment is. It provides a great learning environment, plenty of outdoor space with great facilities and a staff that truly loves what they do. His food requirements are also always taken care of. The 2.5 years have been absolutely lovely.

Review of St Margarets Nursery & Preschool Craigmillar Park from Livia I (Mother of Child) published on 6 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has been going to the nursery since 2021 and our daughter has just started and I honestly couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough! They've been absolutely brilliant from the very start. The building itself is gorgeous, with two massive gardens in the back. It is kept immaculately clean. The food the kids get given is all organic and changes every week. The staff are absolutely incredible - they are so kind and caring, and so invested in your childs well being. Management is superb and always really proactive when it comes to safety and updating policies and procedures so I always feel safe leaving my kids in their care. I'm not sure what I was expecting when visiting nurseries but no nursery I've ever seen has even come close to St Margarets! Absolutely 10/10 would recommend it to anyone!

We love St Margaret's Nursery 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 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 and are proud to be connected to such a lovely community.

Review of St Margarets Nursery & Preschool Craigmillar Park from Claire B (Mother of Child) published on 30 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
In my honest opinion, St Margaret's is truly the best nursery, and I say this from the perspective of a parent with three kids. The team at St Margaret's goes above and beyond in caring for the children. They are not only fun and caring but also great at managing the energy of busy and challenging toddlers while keeping them safe!
My daughter has experienced exceptional care in the 18 months she has been at St Margaret's. She loves the nursery, her teachers, and her friends. This positive experience has remained consistent across three different rooms (Babies, Beanies and Toddlers). The transition between rooms has been seamless, with careful consideration of timing and transition steps, along with clear communication.

As a parent, I appreciate, on occasion, being invited to explore the indoor and outdoor areas where my daughter spends her time and the regular child/parent updates on progress and milestones met to contribute to a strong sense of partnership between parents and the nursery.

Overall Experience
What a great nursery/preschool.
They are so dedicated to the children. It is not only education that they share with kids. It is love as well. It’s wonderful to see how happy your child is to go to school every day. How she talks about her friends and teachers

I was told this is the best nursery/preschool, and I know now it is!

Review of St Margarets Nursery & Preschool Craigmillar Park from C G (Father of Child) published on 30 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both of our children have been at St Margarets for the past few years. When we first walked in we knew it would be a lovely place for them to attend and I'm glad to say we were right. They both love it, have made lots of firm friends and love the staff, who are all very friendly. It's also very professional behind the scenes too. I'd highly recommend it, the only drawback is that it is expensive, but you get what you pay for as with many things in life.

Review of St Margarets Nursery & Preschool Craigmillar Park from C A (Mother of Child) published on 30 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My two children are very happy at St Margarets. They spend plenty of time outdoors when the weather is good enough (there are several outdoor spaces). The staff seem very caring and fond of the children. I particularly like that my daughter, who is in the preschool room, has the opportunity to participate in visits to residents in a nearby care home most weeks. They also go on other outings such as local walks and trips to the park, which she likes. The nursery has also recently invested in providing sturdy sheltered areas to keep parents dry when doing drop off and pick ups.

Review of St Margarets Nursery & Preschool Craigmillar Park from Holly W (Mother of Child) published on 29 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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. Three members of staff, in particular, 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.

Overall Experience

Our son has been at St Margarets Nursery for over a year and he has loved every day there! He has been in three 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 and 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!

Review of St Margarets Nursery & Preschool Craigmillar Park from Eleni V (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have had a very positive experience with St Margaret's Nursery. The staff's genuine care and dedication shine through in every aspect. Their well-thought-out, developmentally appropriate activities have not only captured our daughter's interest, but also fostered her growth.
The access to garden play areas with a variety of toys and bikes adds a delightful dimension to the learning environment. Communication is excellent, with responsive staff actively seeking feedback to enhance the children's experiences.
What truly sets this nursery apart is the formation of close relationships. Our daughter has not only flourished in her learning, but has also formed strong bonds with both peers and staff. It's heartening to witness her enthusiasm and positive growth in such a nurturing setting.

In summary, we couldn't be happier with our choice. This nursery goes above and beyond to create a loving and enriching environment for our child. Highly recommended!

Overall Experience

Our son has been going to St Margarets for over 2 years now and he absolutely loves it. The rooms are beautiful and they have lots of space to play outside. The menu is varied and if my son does not like the food that day, they always provide lots of healthy alternatives. The staff have always been thoughtful and helpful.

Review of St Margarets Nursery & Preschool Craigmillar Park from Michael M (Father of Child) published on 27 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son (2 and 3/4s) attends this nursery and has done so 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.

Review of St Margarets Nursery & Preschool Craigmillar Park from Katharine R (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We could not recommend this nursery enough. My son went from 14 months right in the middle of Covid and the staff went above and beyond to help him settle. They really helped us with his delayed speech and social skills and genuinely cared about him. The staff turnover is really very low and it’s so lovely because even now, at 4, there are a lot of the same staff and they have seen him grow up and know and care about him as an individual. We were very sad to take him out to start at school nursery, but we were very lucky that his sister got a place and she is thriving at St Margaret’s and every time her brother comes for pick up staff take time to chat to him and make him feel special. The activities that are planned for the children and the thought that goes into everything that is done is so impressive. Highly recommend!

Review of St Margarets Nursery & Preschool Craigmillar Park from Maria C (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little girl joined St Margarets last August and we cannot be happier! She is in the beanies room and even though she was very shy and reserved, she connected with the carers so quickly.
Nursery management was fantastic when I explained how important it was for us to have some Spanish in my LG day-to-day and nursery ensured a bilingual carer was part of her care team. The room leader is lovely and quickly became really close with my little girl and just seeing her smile every morning when said staff members or the early years practitioner in training come out to greet her just makes our day.

Also, need to add that nursery staff are constantly planning events for the children, which always have us looking forward to some parent play day or holiday-themed parties. Nursery facilities are top notch and the daily lunch menu’s are a big hit with my kiddo. Overall great place, highly recommend.

Review of St Margarets Nursery & Preschool Craigmillar Park from Anna D (Mother of Child) published on 27 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Shifting our daughter, who has been attending nursery since she was 10 months old, to St Margarets Nursery in Edinburgh has been a delightful experience. We moved from London in August and naturally we were apprehensive about how she would adapt to a new environment. However, our worries were quickly put to rest.
The range of activities, especially the French and Spanish language sessions, is a highlight. She adores these classes and we can see the positive impact on her learning and development. The nursery's spacious setting is perfect for various fun and educational activities.
An added bonus is the quality of meals provided, which are nutritious and cater well to her dietary needs.

In closing, St Margarets has been a fantastic choice for our family. The warm and nurturing environment, coupled with the dedicated staff, makes it an ideal place for any child's growth and happiness.
