Elsie Inglis Early Learning and Childcare

Your little one will thrive in our bright and spacious nursery in Abbeyhill. From the age of 3 months to 5 years, children are provided with the best early years education and care to help them reach their developmental milestones in a warm and nurturing environment.

Exciting Rooms to Explore

Each of our rooms provides enriching activities and resources to aid your child's development and fuel their imagination and curiosity.

The rooms are vibrant, colourful and filled with everything children need to make their days fun, exciting, and full of learning. From arts and crafts and role-playing, to reading nooks and cosy play corners, your child will be encouraged to follow their own interests and passions as they spend their days making discoveries and friends.

We also have a separate sleep room where your little one can catch up on a well-deserved nap.

Our sensory room is always a highlight of the children's days. With lots of play resources to spark their imagination, it's a unique place to explore light, sound, and touch, aiding development and key skills.

You can stay updated with your child's day through our Bright Horizons Family app.

Enriching Learning Programmes

Your little one will get the best start to their schooling life through enriching learning experiences thanks to our Growing Enhancements. This unique programme introduces your child to essential key skills in subjects including maths, reading, writing, science, art, IT, sports, and more.

Our onsite chef runs baking classes with the children, where they learn how to follow instructions and directions, and use counting, measuring, problem-solving, and creativity to whip up tasty treats.

Learning and Playing Outdoors

Your little one will love spending time in our large, landscaped garden, which is fully equipped with age-appropriate areas, resources, and activities. We spend lots of time in the garden, taking our lessons outdoors to expand little minds and make new discoveries.

Make Memories Together

We have a monthly breakfast club for parents and children, so you can enjoy having breakfast together at the nursery with your child and their friends. This is a wonderful opportunity to make lasting memories and meet other parents in the setting.
