Pilrig Children's Nursery

Overall Experience

I am very happy with all aspects of the nursery and feel confident leaving my daughter in your care. The only drawback is the lack of one-on-one activities with specific learning goals. Specifically, I would have liked seeing what she's learning with pictures in the journal and receiving themed crafts

she has made, even if it's only scribbles. This helps me further develop the theme at home in other languages. So far, I am unaware of any learning themes. Not counting Christmas/Chinese New Year as these don't account forthe majority of her time spent with you.

Reply from Denise Lawrence, Manager at Pilrig Children's Nursery

Thank you for your feedback. Observations can be viewed on our online learning portal which is updated by the key person. Practitioners prepare weekly planning which is displayed within the room, this details the skills that are being learned and what activities are being provided to satisfy these skills. Creative play is on offer within playrooms every day and children can choose whether they wish to take part in this. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to speak with your child's key worker or the management team.

Very pleasant staff and eager to help. Lots of indoor and outdoor activities for my child to participate in. All in all very safe and friendly environment for my son to spend the day and learn lots of new words and new songs that he comes home singing too.

Overall Experience

We really enjoy Pilrig Children's Nursery. Our son is enjoying his meals there which is a big deal for us because he's always been on the smaller side. He has really bonded with the care staff and they take really good care of him as he has separation anxiety in the mornings. They're also very good

at implementing changes in his care plan.
I like that they include parents in special celebrations and that we know a bit about his day via the app.

Overall Experience

My child has been at Wee Gems Corstorphine for about 3 years now. They have always been well cared for and supported. In the last year or so, management and staff retention has really improved and my child really enjoys their days in the setting and outside (e.g. forest school, park, care home, museum,

supermarket and charity shop visits). Staff are kind, communicative and enthusiastic.

Overall Experience

I have been so impressed with Wee Gems Corstorphine. Our daughter has thrived with the care, nurturing guidance and genuine warmth of the team. She was mainly in the 'tweenies room'. Having not really been that impressed with a different nursery, Wee Gems was a complete contract - lots of regular staff

(rather than temporary agency) who spent the time and invested in getting to know our girl. We would thoroughly recommend Wee Gems to anyone.

Reply from Lauren Callachan, Nursery Manager at Wee Gems Corstorphine Nursery

Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to review. I'm thrilled to hear how much your little girl loves the nursery

Overall Experience

Wee Gems is an amazing nursery. They are very well-organised and attentive to the kids. They have great security, so feel that my Granddaughter is well looked after. Our little one suffers badly from Eczema and the staff are very sensitive and loving towards her. She is only coming up for 3 years old

and can already communicate with us all very well and also can communicate with her great aunt via Makaton, it's very impressive! She loves her Nursery teachers and talks constantly about her days there.

Reply from Lauren Callachan, Nursery Manager at Wee Gems Corstorphine Nursery

Hello! Thank you so much for sending in your wonderful feedback! Amazing that your granddaughter is using the makaton out with the nursery and speaks fondly about the fun she has here.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Wee Gems since he was 10 months old, and has just turned 4. He loves it! More recently, the new manager has introduced so many learning-related activities, such as Forestery School, trips to the library and local care home and numerous trips to the museum. Staff are really caring

and friendly, making you feel comfortable and that your child will be safe and well cared for.

Brilliantly caring, communicative and competent. Wee Gems couldn't go further in looking after our boy. The updates and developmental goals are a huge help and he himself is glowing about his experiences every day when picked up.

Overall Experience

The experience with Wee Gems is great! My child loves going to nursery. He likes all the staff and the staff also like him. My child is younger than two, the staff are all very patient and play important roles in his growth and development. My child loves the time at nursery and would dream about it.

We could tell how much fun he had at nursery from those midnight giggles. Thanks for all the effort the staff and the nursery have made. We're really grateful.

Overall Experience

My first baby was born this year and I had to go back to work just after 6 months. Wee Gems made sense for us location-wise so we viewed the nursery shortly after he was born and secured a place for him to start in August. I cannot thank the team enough for the support and care they have shown our little

one from day one. I drop him off knowing he is safe and knowing that there will be new things to learn and fun to be had. Ultimately we wanted him to get the same level of care we would give him at home and at Wee Gems Corstorphine, we know this is the case. Thank you so much to two staff members in particular who look after and support my son on his nursery days, but a huge thank you to the manager, who is a credit to Wee Gems. You do fantastic work guys!
