The organisation developed in response to an identified need for affordable, flexible childcare in North Edinburgh that would enable local parents and carers to access increased opportunities for work, training or education. A group of local women campaigned over a number of years for the creation of a custom built (state of the art) childcare facility.
In the Spring of 1997, the dream became a reality. Since that time, our organisation has gone from strength to strength and grown into the multi-stranded operation that we are today. Our service has separate divisions offering pre-school care in the centre, out of school care for 180 children in 6 local primary schools.

Dreadful company, leaves staff with too much work to do with little support, if any at all. The staff are lovely and you can tell they are passionate about the kids, but unfortunately the lack of support given by management makes it difficult for them to work effectively. The company also treats the staff badly and ignores their needs, which is demonstrated by the high turnover of staff. Avoid.

We have three children. Over the course of our parenthood we went through a number of different private nurseries. You cannot image the difference the North Edinburgh Nursery made in our life. As parents we understand the importance of providing loving, caring environment and at the same time making sure that they are developing the skills which help them in future life. However, despite understanding the importance of those points, for working parents it is always challenging to keep our smiling faces on and find time to work with them on their (reading, counting and other life) skills.
