Meadows Nursery

I have had three kids attend the Meadows over the past 7 years and can honestly say that I have never had any concerns or issues at any time over that period. The Meadows has consistently managed to attract great team who are passionate about their work. The Meadows treats each kid as an individual and is consistently ready to try new ideas for activities and themes (usually generated by the kids themselves!). All three of our kids have loved the childcare centre. I really cannot suggest it highly enough! The Meadows Nursery is a remarkable childcare centre offering a very high standard of care by outstanding team.

They remember their time, with cheerful recollections of all the trips, animal visits and especially the Xmas and summer shows. We had a stress free time as parents, knowing the childcare centre was giving them care to such a excellent standard. The team and management were consistently attentive (to the kids and us), and were expert in dealing with bumps, germs, and misdemeanours. They made the most of the limited outside space available and added local trips, and Forest School days sounded stellar. The team and management made a excellent job of preparing the kids for school and liaised with the school to ease the transition. Our two kids both had a excellent time here from the age of one up until they left for school.

We found the team to be extremely attentive and welcoming with a real family sense to the childcare centre. My son particularly enjoyed the playtime outside on a daily basis, dance and music class and trips to the meadows. We were issued with a log in to a secure website allowing my husband and I to see photos of what he had been up to that day.

The team were outstanding at providing end of day reports and regular parents evenings and updates. There were a number of parties for parents and kids throughout the year which the kids in particular really enjoyed.

Overall, the Meadows childcare centre allowed me to go to work in the knowledge my son was being well looked after and was secure and cheerful. I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest the childcare centre to other parents and carers. My son attended the Meadows childcare centre for a year from the age of 1 to 2 before we moved out of Edinburgh.

All team are fab, very inviting and engaging with the kids. The food is all home cooked and of an outstanding variety. My youngest required additional help and assistance with her speech and language and everyone at the Meadows went to huge lengths to help her, discovering new skills to assistance and enhance her discovering and development.

It is a well-run business with a focus first and foremost on the health and well-being of the kids. Both my girls attended the Meadows Nursery and I cannot suggest them highly enough.

In addition to regular care, the childcare centre are also excellent at taking the kids outdoors as much as possible (making ample use of both the limited outside space as well as the wide expanse of Meadows, forest schools) as well as other activities such as tennis, tatty bumpkins etc. The childcare centre team have been remarkable and we felt that they take the time to get to know each kid individually and cater to each accordingly. We would definitely suggest the childcare centre and in fact, are very likely to enroll our younger daughter at Meadows. Our daughter spent the last 2 years at Meadows during which time she has blossomed into a confident and independent girl ready for school.

My wife and I were nervous that they were so young but extremely comforted by the attentive and generous spirit of the team at Meadows Nursery.
My daughters had a wealth of experiences on a day to day basis with consistency at the heart. I sense like they consistently were comfortable and secure in their setting.
My older daughter learned many skills through her time there, from social skills to motor skills as well as experiencing day trips to interesting and educational locations.
My younger daughter gained huge self‑assurance from her time in Meadows Nursery and showed real affection for the team there.
I would highly suggest Meadows Nursery. Both of my kids attended Meadows Nursery from just over 1 year old.

My son’s first recognisable word was the name of the same member of team who went on to become one of my daughter’s favourite educators at the time of her graduation from Meadows Nursery nearly a decade later. Both of our kids thoroughly loved the childcare centre and were very cheerful there. We often found ourselves admiring the team’s affection, resourcefulness and genuine care for all the kids. Now in primary two, my daughter recently insisted, during half term, that I should take her on an outing to Blackford Hill, where she used to go to Forest Schools with Meadows Nursery. She was delighted to find that the swing on a tree she remembered so well was still there. After a long time on the swing, she said to me, “That’s one dream come true”, commenting on her return to a spot associated with childcare centre adventures. There is no other institution we are as grateful to as Meadows Nursery for the fantastic part it played in our kids’s earliest years. My son and daughter spent, between them, a continuous total of over nine years at Meadows Nursery, overlapping for a week just before he started primary school.
