St George's Nursery Edinburgh

My son Jack is now in his second year at St George's Nursery, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. The environment, facilities, and above all the teachers are truly exceptional - warm, big-hearted, and deeply committed to the children's development.

Jack had a poor experience at another popular pre-school in the area, so finding St George's has been such a relief. The difference was clear right from the start - he loved it immediately and settled in with ease. Since joining, his confidence and development have come on in leaps and bounds.

The variety and quality of activities are outstanding, from exciting day trips (like a visit to the modern art gallery) to weekly ballet, rugby, and music sessions. It's clear that the staff put so much thought into creating opportunities that nurture curiosity, creativity, and joy.

I honestly couldn't recommend St George's Nursery more highly - it's a very special place.

A special mention goes to the Head of the Junior School and Nursery, who is simply incredible. She shows a rare passion for her work and a truly exceptional attention to each individual child-something I have rarely encountered.

My son is nearly finished at St G's nursery after almost three years. I could not have asked for a better experience. The staff are wonderful. His interests have been fostered at every turn, his ideas challenged, his learning made interesting and engaging. He's truly ready for school and that's thanks in part to this amazing place. Thank you.

Our daughter started at St George's Nursery in August and we have been extremely impressed with how quickly she has settled. She has built a very strong bond with all the nursey team and her peers. We have been particularly impressed with many aspects of the nursery but particularly the organisation, communication, and professionalism of the entire nursery team is impressive. We are happy that there is a small number of children in our daughter's class and as a result, she receives a lot of personlised support. Thank you to all the team.

High ratio of staff to children, staff have excellent knowledge of national curriculum whilst making my son feel like he is in control of his learning.

Both our daughters have been or are currently attending the St George's Nursery and I could not be happier with it. It's such a caring, gentle and supportive environment and both our children have thrived there. My youngest daughter has recently started at the nursery and they've worked so hard to help her settle and make her feel confident going in every day. The nursery's communication with me throughout this process has been exceptional. They really care about the children in their care and are so creative with the range of activities they provide. I can already see my youngest daughter begin to flourish in this environment and we are very grateful to the nursery team for all that they do!

Our daughter started in August 2023, age three, and this was her first experience of nursery. We were very concerned about her adapting to this new environment and being away from her mum for the first time. However, she was literally running into the nursery after a few days and has settled in amazingly well. The staff are so kind and caring and we're absolutely delighted with how well it has gone. She has developed so much in the few months she's been there and is very happy. We'd highly recommend St George's!

St George's is a great nursery for any child starting nursery. The staff here are extremely homely, nurturing, loving, kind and very empathetic. My daughter loves going to the nursery as it's her second home. I am immensely proud of the way my daughter has grown with the support from her teachers. The app updates and photos give you a wonderful view of the experiences the little ones are having and makes us feel so much connected. Thank you very much to all the staff for the hard work and patience.

Can't praise the nursery enough. My daughter loves going and has settled so well. It feels nice to drop your child in the most warm and nurturing environment, knowing the level of care is so great. Every day is an adventure with great activities and lots of fun, and I love to hear all the wonderful stories at the end of each day. Thank you so much to the nursery team.

St George's is by far the best experience we have had at a nursery to date. My daughter has been in a few due to covid and then us relocating. The staff here are extremely nurturing, loving, kind and very empathetic. They celebrate each child's diversities and strengths. My daughter has grown immensely since beginning. Her confidence has grown and her leadership and manners are well beyond her age. I would highly recommend St. George's to any parent and am proud to have my daughter be part of this school.

My daughter loves every minute at St. George's Nursery. Because such a big family with love and warmth makes my daughter happy. My daughter has just turned three years old this year. The teacher of St. George's Nursery is very kind to celebrate her birthday with children in her nursery for the first time in her life. On behalf of myself and my family, I am very grateful for what St. George's Nursery has done for my daughter. The most important thing is that we are a new immigrant family. Our mother tongue doesn't speak English. I am very worried about my daughter's English expression. But only after arriving at St. George's Nursery. I found my daughter's English expression has made remarkable progress. In our family's mind, St. George's Nursery is the most correct choice for our family. Thanks to the teachers at St. George's Nursery. Send our family's most sincere wishes and our family's warmest love.

The nursery team is excellent, and my son settled into the nursery on day one! He loves all the activities, and there are books, songs and rugby tots. Every week we receive an update from the nursery, and the food from the school is delicious! Highly recommended!

This is a wonderful nursery! It has superb facilities with lots of outdoor space; the nursery team are motivated, caring and well-qualified; management is very sound, with lots of structure to the children's learning and good communication with parents. My child also has a nice cohort of classmates. She has ballet classes and rugby tops too, which is great. Very happy kid and super happy parents!

Having been to a few nurseries before, our daughter absolutely loved St George's from the very first day. So far, everything has been better than our expectations with friendly staff, excellent facilitates and great communication.

Our daughter settled in quickly, and she enjoys going. What more could you ask for?

A warm and loving setting for all children. Small class sizes mean so much attention to each child that is unrivalled in other private or state nurseries, rich in play and learning resources: so much to do every day! Lots of variety each day with lots of specialist lessons in addition to the nursery rooms and the playground: music, library, PE, ballet, the fantastical forest where children help build a campfire each week, toast marshmallows or make pizza, and play in the trees! It’s everything I want for my child. It’s a unique experience for her, and her life is enriched by the loving care of her nursery teachers. Plus, the school is unique in the area for subsidising the nursery fees since withdrawing from the council partnership, so the nursery fees match the price of a subsided place! Incredibly low fees for what my child gains!

My daughter is flourishing at St George’s Nursery. She’s in the Big Owls (preschool) now but joined in March in little owls. I couldn’t believe how quickly she settled in, all due to the warmth of the staff; they are so kind and attentive and fun. They very clearly care for every child in their class. My daughter does exciting activities every day; she will come home talking about campfires, the fantastical forest, the mud kitchen, the list is endless. They have a wonderful colourful space inside, and outside there are so many different areas for them to play in. I could go on and on about how brilliant St George’s Nursery is! My daughter runs towards it every day!

I can not rate the nursery highly enough!

St George's has been a fantastic nursery for our daughter. She loves her days there and has flourished in the Little Owls and now in Big Owls too. The staff and facilities are brilliant. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Can’t recommend it highly enough!
