Fantastic nursery. All staff are amazing from reception, admin, cleaners, cooks and of course, the amazing people that look after my child.
I know that she is being well cared for, having fun, and learning all whilst knowing she is safe.
Staff are always so attentive.
The food is great, fresh and
healthy and always a good selection. My child always eats well there is always a varied diet and choice.
Overall a very clean nursery, with high standards, lovely staff and very good at getting parents involved. They hold regular catch-ups with parents and children.

Great nursery. Our children love Arcadia @ Easter Bush. The attention to learning is excellent. The building itself is fantastic and it's great that the kids spend lots of time outside, lots of activities.
However, there is a lack of flexibility (don't do half days) and sometimes a lack of awareness
of parent needs, for example, arranging events/inviting parents and requiring children to go home at 4 pm.

From the moment you step in, the warm and welcoming environment creates a sense of security for both parents and children. The staff is very caring. The classrooms are bright, engaging, and filled with age-appropriate learning materials that encourage creativity and exploration. The outdoor play area
is spacious and well-equipped. It allows children to develop their motor skills while enjoying fresh air. Communication with parents is very good, with regular updates on children's progress and activities. Overall, Arcadia @ Easter Bush provides a safe environment, making it an excellent choice for early childhood development.

I have been very impressed with Arcadia Nursery in the few months since my daughter joined. She has settled in very quickly due to the safe environment, friendliness of the staff and variety of activities she can be part of in a warm environment. The garden area has plenty of fun activities which the
children are encouraged to use so it is great to know that time is split between outdoor and indoor activities. Any incidents are reported to parents efficiently online and documented to ensure transparency in the nursery which is reassuring for parents. Overall, I am very happy we chose Arcadia Easter Bush as our nursery and would highly recommend it to others.

My son has been attending Arcadia since December 2024. We have been very impressed with the nursery and how informed they keep us on a day to day basis. The staff in Harmony room and very friendly and attentive to my son. They are always very positive and happy which is great to see.
They are very
focused on my son's development and keep us updated with the work they do together.
In addition, we love how much the nursery I courses the parents with activities. For example, Christmas sing along and Valentine's breakfast.

Fantastic nursery - highly recommended!
I couldn't be happier with Arcadia! The staff are absolutely wonderful, so kind, caring, and always happy to help. My little boy loves going every day, which speaks volumes about the warm and nurturing environment they provide.
The nursery itself is gorgeous,
purpose-built, spacious, and incredibly welcoming. Before my son started, I was quite nervous about leaving him somewhere unfamiliar, but those worries disappeared quickly when I saw how happy and excited he was to attend. It's so reassuring to know he's in a place where he's well cared for and eager to return.
I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and engaging setting for their child.

They continue to provide excellent care and genuine compassion on a daily basis. Highly

from M L (Father of Child) published on 3 October 2024

My child attended Arcadia - The Bush from 9 months old until they started school. My child ended up visiting the hospital on 3 occasions during their time at nursery. Maybe we were unlucky but on 2 of the occasions, I felt the accidents were completely avoidable. One incident involved my child getting
their toe stuck in a closing door while in the baby room. Pre-school has been the biggest disappointment for me, which has only become apparent now that my child is at school. My child doesn't appear to have been taught anything re. Numbers and letters, the other children in his school are quite a bit ahead. While my child was at nursery I did ask if they would spend time practicing writing (we'd been practicing in the house), but they said there was no point as the way they'd be taught at school would be completely different. This didn't make sense to me. The staff were all extremely friendly and the setup around meal times was good. The onsite chef was good. They were happy here though.

Both my children have attended Easter Bush Arcadia Nursery, with my youngest finishing in July 2024, to start P1 in August. They both loved it. The staff are very nice, there is a very big outdoor space and kids are free to take part in a lot of activities both indoors and outdoors, depending on their
personal interests. There is something for everybody.
Arcadia staff were also very accommodating with my son, who had some eating issues at the time, and their help and support meant a lot.
Transition to primary school was very easy for both of my kids and I am sure a good part of the merit goes to the amazing job Arcadia staff did.

from Prema H (Mother of Child) published on 9 September 2024

Our baby had a tough time settling, but the team worked patiently with us and him to ensure his comfort and incorporation into the routine there. He absolutely loves the team there now and won't even let me kiss him goodbye anymore as he just wants to jump out of the car to get there faster. He was
always reluctant to leave our side, so this is a huge change for him and one that wouldn't have happened without the excellence of the team and environment there! Care is also given to manage our son's allergies, and there is a process in place to help manage flare-ups, monitor conditions and administer prescribed supplies. Food is prepared on-site, so can be customised for individual allergy needs. The team are friendly and professional and while they are very much child-first (as they should be!), they also respect the concerns of parents and work with them to overcome what is needed for the benefit of the child. We recommend Arcadia Kings Buildings and give a special shout out to the team there!

from Daniela I (Mother of Child) published on 4 September 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We enrolled our son at Arcadia Nursery nine months ago when he was still very young (younger than most would expect, but circumstances did not leave us much choice). Looking back, it was the best decision we could have made. The facilities are amazing, and the staff is genuinely dedicated to each child's
well-being and development. As two foreigners with demanding jobs and no family nearby, we were worried about starting nursery so early. But with short maternity leave and no extra help, it was our only option. Thankfully, he quickly bonded with his nanny and the staff, which was a relief (though I'll admit I felt a bit jealous!). The social interaction and gentle peer pressure have helped his development too; he has even hit some milestones early. Arcadia has become like an extended family for us, and we're incredibly thankful for the care they've provided to our son (and, by extension, to us). We highly recommend Arcadia Nursery. They've been a real lifesaver.

My little boy started at Arcadia in January 24 and we have all been made to feel so welcomed. He settled immediately with the help of the lovely staff. The staff are fantastic and really take the time to get to know the families. They are so dedicated and knowledgeable.
The nursery itself is light
and airy and is always so well looked after. The resources are endless and I love to hear about everything my little one has been doing throughout the day. The meals are all home-cooked on site and sound delicious! We couldn’t be happier with Arcadia, the management and the staff.

Both of our children have loved their time at Arcadia Easter Bush. The oldest is now at school having left Arcadia last year, and our youngest is currently in Peace Room. She enjoys a range of different activities such as baking, yoga, stories, games, gardening, music and dancing, both on-site at the
nursery and exploring the areas round about. The children are fortunate enough to have the vet school on their doorstep, so get to visit there, as well as other places like the local care home and museums. The staff are brilliant - they’re hugely supportive and responsive to our daughter and her needs, and seem happy in their work. Parents are kept informed daily as to activities, meals, sleep, etc, through the app, at pick-up, and through social occasions such as family breakfasts.
The nursery building itself is clean, modern and welcoming. The children have constant access to a lovely outdoor space and enjoy a wide range of food options from the on-site chef. Highly recommended!

I cannot speak highly enough of the outstanding care and support provided by the dedicated staff. From the moment we enrolled our child, it was evident that Arcadia Nursery is committed to meeting the individual needs of each child in their care. One of the most impressive aspects of Arcadia Nursery
is its dedication to working closely with parents. The staff communicates openly and regularly, ensuring that parents are kept informed and involved in their child's experiences and progress. What truly sets Arcadia Nursery apart is its genuine commitment to understanding and nurturing each child's unique personality, interests, and developmental milestones. The staff creates a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore and learn. We are grateful for the caring staff who go above and beyond to support our child's growth and development. We feel fortunate to be part of such a wonderful community.

Arcadia has been a brilliant choice for our son’s first experience of nursery.
The wonderful staff have helped settle him in and we’ve noticed such a big change in him (in a good way!).
The food offered is of excellent quality (my son often wolfs down two portions!) and he has learnt to eat with
cutlery since he turned 12 months old.
The learning activities in place are varied and my son thrives there, we are so glad we made this childcare choice.
The payment details are archaic (no direct debit option) but that is the University of Edinburgh at fault, nothing within Arcadia’s control.

My daughter has been at the nursery since she turned 1, and now she is just about to turn 3. She thoroughly loves going to nursery and it usually takes me 30 mins to convince her to leave. The staff makes the nursery what it is. They are so caring and constantly looking out for my daughter's well-being
and encouraging her to push her boundaries. Whether this is with play, social interactions, or food. As a result, she is a confident, happy, and independent child. Thank you, Arcadia.

Have nothing negative to say about this nursery. My daughter has thrived there and loves it. Menus are excellent, really great experience of foods and textures, the facilities are always clean, staff always friendly and approachable. Most importantly my little girl has her needs met and there is regular
communication about her day (nappies/seep/food eaten etc). She comes home happy and clean and we have peace of mind that she’s been well looked after in the best facilities. Opening hours are good for the 8am working parents and the price includes everything which is superb.
