Our baby spent six very happy months at Kidzcare Grange Loan. We thought that the standard of care was excellent, and the staff were wonderful. She had some modestly complicated diet and support needs, and the nursery were very helpful in talking us through how these were followed precisely. The
staff treated her with love and care, and were just as excited as us as she met her milestones. She clearly bonded very well with her caregivers, and was always happy to be dropped off. Thank you!

Both of our children have attended Kidzcare Grange Loan Nursery during the past four years, and it has been the most amazing experience for us all. The nursery is set in beautiful grounds that the children love exploring, and it is really well managed with great communication and lots of
opportunities for parent involvement (Christmas fayres, summer fun days etc). Our children have benefitted from fun, inventive activities, lots of time outdoors (including forest school sessions and lots of nature walks) and the most wonderful, nurturing, thoughtfully tailored care from the staff. They have formed really special relationships with the staff, many of whom of been there throughout the children's entire time at nursery, and whose affection for the children and dedication to their jobs is obvious. We feel so, so lucky we found this nursery as it has really shaped our life as a family and provided the most wonderful, 'above and beyond' care for our two little ones.

Our daughter attended part-time from 11 months. She had a great time at Kidzcare Grange Loan and we couldn't have been happier with the care she received. The Nature School was a highlight in the oldest two rooms and something she looked forward to each week. We enjoyed getting updates on the
Learning Journals page about what activities had been happening each week. We felt our daughter was well prepared for the transition to P1 in her final year at the nursery.

We've had 2 of our children going to the nursery when we moved to Scotland from Italy for a total of three years.
It has been a great experience for the whole family. The children loved going to the nursery, the staff and all the activities.
The location is great with plenty of opportunities for
outdoor learning, which is at the very core of the nursery curriculum. Every member of staff is very caring and they genuinely seemed to love their job and the kids.
The management is excellent as well and the communication with the parents/carers is always clear and easy.
Couldn't have wished anything better for our children!
Keep up the great job!

Both my children are very happy at this nursery, overall staff are very committed and friendly and they take their time to give you a report about your child's day at pick-up. A huge plus is the proximity to the local pond and hill, where they often go for walks, as well as being lucky enough to use
the gorgeous hospital grounds.
I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Our son attended Kidzcare from 1 to P1. He has had a great time and the staff has been friendly and helpful. They have a whole park that they use for activities and have journeys organised to the Christmas market or the museum. Our son has been very happy and enjoyed his time there. All the kids
were very friendly to each other. We're very pleased with the experience. The staff were very caring.
A couple of years ago there has been a bit of staff turnover that impacted our son when he was about 2. I feel the situation has been better in the recent year.

My daughter started at Kidzcare Grange Loan when she was 13 months, and she has just left to start P1, aged 5, almost exactly 4 years on. Her time at the nursery has been a wonderful experience for the whole family, the staff are fantastic, many of them have been in post for a number of years and
have a wealth of experience. The access they have to the hospital grounds presents wonderful learning and playing opportunities in a beautiful natural environment, including taking part in nature school. Time at nursery and preschool has been one of the most precious things we have had, particularly through the difficult times during the pandemic. I would recommend this nursery wholeheartedly.

Kidzcare Grange Loan is an excellent nursery and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, warm, fun place for their child to grow and learn. My son has just left for school and has absolutely loved it. The location is great - it is set in the grounds of the Astley Ainslie so the kids are
out and about in nature almost every day. They run a nature school which my child has really enjoyed. The staff are so friendly and fun - obviously making a real effort to do interesting activities with the kids. It's great!

We feel incredibly lucky that we have had the wonderful team at Kidzcare looking after our two children. The kindness, care and enthusiasm they show every single day is incredible. As key workers we also continued to use the nursery through lockdown and the stoicism, professionalism, calmness and
compassion shown throughout was an absolute saving grace in the midst of the COVID chaos.

We are really happy with the Kidzcare @ Grange Loan. Our 4-year-old and 18 month old are thriving there as the staff are so caring and make the effort to tailor activities to each childs interests. The nursery has fantastic outdoor space and our daughter loves the nature school day. We feel very
confident that the nursery is providing the best possible care. They also communicate really well with the parents so any strengths or challenges our children face are celebrated and supported in a way we feel works best for them.

Fantastic staff. Great environment. Can't be faulted. My son is very happy here.

Staff - the staff are very caring towards the children. They are approachable and make time to listen to any parental concerns and take steps to try and address any issues.
Space - Preschool area can be quite crowded and noisy at times but staff have taken steps to try and manage this by using
available space across the nursery so this has improved.
Nature School - is a massive positive and the highlight of my child's week.

Our experience of Kidzcare has been exceptionally positive. The staff are kind, caring and professional.
The children have the opportunity to take part in lots of fun, developmental activities which are often linked into seasonal variation. The nursery makes daily use of the amazing outside space
and outdoor play is fundamental to the nursery's approach.

Our son has been in the Babies room at Kidzcare (Grange Loan) for 7 months, and just loves it!
The staff are really friendly and form great relationships with the kids. They really make an effort to help the kids (and parents) ease into nursery life, and have a lot of patience when you have to keep
adding medicines or special dietary requirements to their to-do list!
There are different events on through the year, including the Zoo lab (where the zoo visits the nursery with some animals), and a summer BBQ.
The Grange Loan nursery is based in the Astley Ainslie grounds, which is a wonderful setting - lots of rooms for the older kids (and toddlers) to roam about. Although the site is to close in about 5 years the nursery is taking an active part in plans to retain some/all of the site for the community. I would highly recommend this nursery - it's been fantastic for us and our son, and we look forward to enjoying it for a good few years yet!

We have been very happy with this nursery and my son enjoys his time there. The staff are helpful and friendly. They regularly do different activities and spend a lot of time outdoors. We would recommend this nursery to friends and family.
