I am always impressed by the warmth of the staff and the fun range of activities they are able to do with the girls. My daughter can't wait to go to school every day which I think is the ultimate compliment for St George's.

Review from Rosalind K (Mother of Child) published on 28 June 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has enjoyed a wonderful two and a half years at St Georges nursery. I cannot fault the incredible staff and the amazing nurturing environment they have created. The staff are always so welcoming, enthusiastic and accommodating-nothing is too much trouble. Every day my daughter runs in, desperate too see her friends and teachers, so excited about the day ahead. She has so much fun but at the same time learns so much every day. The children are taken outside virtually every day -sometimes into the on site "Fantastic Forest" (which she loves). We have made life long friends and cannot thank the staff enough for giving my daughter the best start possible to her education.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been at the nursery for a term now and I am very impressed. In particular, she has clearly been learning a wide range of topics, and her individual interests are also being very much encouraged. The welcoming atmosphere and staff have made her big move to Edinburgh much easier too.

Overall Experience
The nursery is very clean and very well adapted for all children. All staff are very knowledgable about your child's needs. The staff are very approachable and very friendly and keep you informed/updated on your child's development.

The Early Learning Journals update is great to see what your child does whilst at nursery and you can see their development weekly.

Review from Euan M (Father of Child) published on 27 June 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have been extremely impressed with St George's Nursery. My daughter has been at the nursery for just under a year (aged 2 1/2 when she joined). I was quite anxious when she joined as her language and communication wasn't as advanced as her bigger sister's had been at the same age, which I was worried might be due to a (only partially diagnosed) hearing loss in one ear.

The staff at St George's were excellent in meeting with me to discuss the issue and agree a strategy to help my daughter if she was struggling to hear in class. As it turns out, she hasn't had any issues and her speaking (and singing!) has come on in leaps and bounds. The staff were incredibly reassuring and always available for a quick chat if I wanted to check up on how she was getting on, and they regularly added photos and short stories to the nursery website so that I could see she'd been up to. I am really grateful to all the staff.

Review from Bruce C (Father of Child) published on 27 June 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Incredibly well organised and operated nursery. Nursery nurses are highly professional, capable and of course, caring. They carry a daily log of my children's activities and their personal development has been outstanding. We're only leaving because it is a girls' school and therefore we have to! I have only had highly positive experiences from St George's.

Review from Mikiko S (Mother of Child) published on 6 May 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter started the nursery since last year and we can find her progress every day - mentally as well as physically. First of all, the nursery provides a good environment to girls. The girls can make the most of the forest/field/area around the school. They also often visit the library/music room of the elder girls. Secondary, they offer well-structured, variety of daily activities. The class is diversified therefore the girls can naturally learn different cultures, too. As a third point, they interact well with other girls at Primary school etc. I can see the elder girls take a good care of nursery girls and they connect each other very well. I think it is one of the best advantages for a relatively small school like St.George's - it provides a family atmosphere. The school offers flexible breakfast club, after school care, holiday clubs so I really appreciate such a scheme as a working mother. Overall, I am very happy with the school and my daughter surely enjoys her days.

Review from Takashi S (Father of Child) published on 22 April 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our child is in the nursery from 7:45 to near 6 including breakfast and after school club. As we work full time, we are grateful for the length of the care and supply for the lunch (hot meals). The nursery runs holiday club from 9 to 5 for school break. Regarding the curriculum, outdoor activities is one of the selling points. My daughter likes to climb trees. If this were a co-ed school, boys probably would dominate such an activity and girls skirt around them. But this is a girls' school (nursery accepts a few boys) and girls have a chance to experiment adventure. Because they have a primary school annex to the nursery, sometimes teachers and pupils of the school visit the nursery and introduce music and languages. The children can use the indoor facilities for PE and music. The nursery encourages parents to read stories to children. Our daughter has been the nursery for 7 months and she has developed well in terms of mental health, physical activities and dexterity.
