Waterfront Nursery

Our son has attended Waterfront Nursery since he was 1 year old, and we've had a really positive experience. It's a great nursery with friendly, caring staff and a lovely atmosphere. The children do a wide range of engaging activities, and we really value the amount of time they spend outside. The food prepared in the kitchen is another highlight - it always smells amazing when we arrive in the morning. We've felt confident and happy leaving our son here and would happily recommend the nursery to others.

I can't rate Waterfront highly enough, my daughter moved here at 2 when the nursery she went to closed down unexpectedly and Waterfront could not have been more accomodating or helpful. My daughter settled really quickly thanks to the dedication and warmth of the staff and she is absolutely thriving here. They do so much engaging and stimulating activities with the children, and really care for them.

Lots of picrtures and good activities

Our daughter has been attending Waterfront Nursery since she was 11 months old and I couldn't be happier with the care and support she has received. She has progressed through all the rooms, and at every stage the staff shown incredible dedication, warmth and love. The team created a nurturing environment where my child feels safe, happy and encouraged to learn and grow. Communication has always been great and I have felt reassured knowing she is in such caring hands. Thank you to everyone at Waterfront Nursery for making her early years so special.

Waterfront nursery is very nice, amazing nursery for my son. My son is always happy and very looked after whenever he at the nursery. Both the teachers, office staffs are very nice and they are doing excellent job. Indeed lm glad l choose waterfront nursery for my son.

I would start by saying that this review is an overall feedback based on my recent and also past experience with Waterfront Nursery. My second child currently attends this nursery and the decision to enrol him was taken without too much debate. Having had my first child in this nursery before, during and after the COVID lockdown, I have only wonderful words to say towards the staff. Of course, not everything is perfect, but management are willing to listen to parents issues and work towards improving the service, some of the staff have been in the establishment since 2018 or even longer, they engage the children in various activities and the outdoor garden and secret garden ( for the older children) is a plus. I would definitely recommend this nursery, my youngest was 9 months when he joined, the staff members are very good at providing care for the little ones and preschool children.

Nursery is perfect for me and near me. My kid loves the nursery, the garden, the activities and of course the outdoor walks. Would have given a 5 but just not happy the nursery gets clothes mixed up sometimes and we keep losing some good quality clothes.

My little one started in the baby room last year, I was nervous as a first time mum and returning to work after a year off with just my baby. The teachers in the baby room could not of make me feel more comfortable about leaving my baby with them, they celebrate all milestones as if they are their own children and will do a lot to make sure your child is happy. I don't have a bad word to say about my experience sending my child here, my child is now moving up rooms and I'm sure the experience will be the same

We've had a great experience with this nursery and couldn't be happier. The staff are friendly, caring, and really take the time to get to know each child. My daughter settled in quickly and is always happy and excited to go, which is very reassuring.

Communication with parents is excellent, and we're regularly updated on her day and progress. There's a nice balance between learning and play, and it's been lovely to see her confidence and social skills grow. The nursery is clean, safe, and welcoming, with a warm, family-like atmosphere. We're very grateful for the care and support they give our daughter and would happily recommend this nursery to other parents.

We couldn't be happier with the care our son receives at Waterfront Nursery. Since joining, he has come on in leaps and bounds - not only in his learning, but also in his confidence and happiness. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about each child. He loves going in,which gives us such peace of mind as parents. We're so grateful for the positive impact the nursery has had on his development and would highly recommend it to any family.

Our son has been attending Waterfront Nursery since June 2025 and we have had a fantastic experience.

When I mentioned I was nervous about him starting Nursery, they arranged a second tour of the Nursery for us and invited us to a special introductory session with other families joining around the same time to run through everything, answer our questions, and this made us feel much more at ease.

The staff are incredible, it's so organised, well laid out, clean, and has a great range of spaces and facilities for the little ones. There is an outdoor play space connected directly from my son's classroom, a sensory room, nap room, and even a separate room that the children eat in at cute little tables and chairs together with meals cooked by a chef.

Compared to our friends nurseries and others that we have visited, I can confidently say that Waterfront Nursery has the best facilities we saw in Edinburgh. We're so glad our son attends here.
