Arcadia @ Easter Bush

I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and engaging setting for their child.

We are so happy with our choice in putting our son to Arcadia Nursery at East Bush. He has now been there for almost one year and we have nothing but praise for the nursery staff, management and setting as a whole. They continue to provide excellent care and genuine compassion on a daily basis. Highly recommend Arcadia at Easter Bush!

My child attended Arcadia - The Bush from 9 months old until they started school. My child ended up visiting the hospital on 3 occasions during their time at nursery. Maybe we were unlucky but on 2 of the occasions, I felt the accidents were completely avoidable. One incident involved my child getting their toe stuck in a closing door while in the baby room. Pre-school has been the biggest disappointment for me, which has only become apparent now that my child is at school. My child doesn't appear to have been taught anything re. Numbers and letters, the other children in his school are quite a bit ahead. While my child was at nursery I did ask if they would spend time practicing writing (we'd been practicing in the house), but they said there was no point as the way they'd be taught at school would be completely different. This didn't make sense to me. The staff were all extremely friendly and the setup around meal times was good. The onsite chef was good. They were happy here though.

Transition to primary school was very easy for both of my kids and I am sure a good part of the merit goes to the amazing job Arcadia staff did.

All staff at Arcadia Easter Bush have been fantastic in all the years we have known them. We had both our children going through nursery there for a total of 7 years and I always found them caring, prepared, helpful, and incredibly professional. Would 100% recommend it!

The nursery itself is light and airy and is always so well looked after. The resources are endless and I love to hear about everything my little one has been doing throughout the day. The meals are all home-cooked on site and sound delicious! We couldn’t be happier with Arcadia, the management and the staff.

The nursery building itself is clean, modern and welcoming. The children have constant access to a lovely outdoor space and enjoy a wide range of food options from the on-site chef. Highly recommended!

The payment details are archaic (no direct debit option) but that is the University of Edinburgh at fault, nothing within Arcadia’s control.

My daughter has been at the nursery since she turned 1, and now she is just about to turn 3. She thoroughly loves going to nursery and it usually takes me 30 mins to convince her to leave. The staff makes the nursery what it is. They are so caring and constantly looking out for my daughter's well-being and encouraging her to push her boundaries. Whether this is with play, social interactions, or food. As a result, she is a confident, happy, and independent child. Thank you, Arcadia.

The nursery is like an extended family, and my kids have thrived there.

Settling in for our child was excellent and he has after a few months really enjoys going into nursery. He loves the space inside and outside and the staff respond excellently to what the child expresses an interest in doing that day. The daily feedback is also much appreciated and the working together in eg naps makes the transition from home days to nursery days much easier. Fantastic experience.

Arcadia is a brilliant nursery with great outdoor space, creative activities put on for the children daily, and caring staff. We have had great experiences for both our children at Arcadia. The outdoor location is one of my favourite aspects about the place.

Overall it's a very high-quality nursery and we are very happy with sending our child there.

Both of my daughters have attended Arcadia since they were 11 months old and we love it. My youngest is currently in the Peace playroom and is very happy there. She has bonded with her friends and all the staff are lovely. The nursery itself is a beautiful, modern space with excellent facilities and an amazing garden overlooking fields. It’s a lovely environment and we feel very lucky that our children attend. Couldn’t recommend more!

We're very happy with the nursery.

Both of my children are visiting the nursery and love to spend time there. They enjoy the activities and love the food. I'm very happy and pleased with the care and the attention the nursery staff provide.

I am very proud of my child for learning new skills at Arcadia. I believe the learning and nurturing environment Arcadia provides enables my child to thrive in her current stage of development. My child wakes up excitedly on the days she goes to nursery and calls out to go as she enjoys her time there. I feel reassured knowing she is very well looked after in this facility.

Thanks for being the best nursery!

The staff are super friendly and trusting. Always keeping us updated on our child’s well-being, progress and learning. Always wanted my children to attend here, and glad they got in!

As a parent, who has had children attend a few different private nurseries, Arcadia is head and shoulders above. All staff are very welcoming and take extra time to update you on your child’s day on drop off and pick up, never feel rushed. Always feel like they really want to know you on a personal level.
