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.

Very happy on the whole with Arcadia. All of our kids will attend and on the whole it's a fantastic place to send them. We like the learning and different activities they partake in. The staff are very attentive and take an interest in each child's 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.

We are so happy with our choice in putting our son to Arcadia Nursery at East Bush. He has now been there for almost one year and we have nothing but praise for the nursery staff, management and setting as a whole. They continue to provide excellent care and genuine compassion on a daily basis. Highly recommend Arcadia at Easter Bush!

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.

All staff at Arcadia Easter Bush have been fantastic in all the years we have known them. We had both our children going through nursery there for a total of 7 years and I always found them caring, prepared, helpful, and incredibly professional. Would 100% recommend it!

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!

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.

Arcadia is a beautiful nursery, it’s purpose-built for the kids, bright, light, and airy. The garden is huge, and super interactive with lots of different themes and areas for the kids to explore. But it’s the staff that really make the nursery so special - they go above and beyond, they have great relationships with each child, they are forever growing in their knowledge and training and it shows in the way they interact with the children.

I have had both my children in Arcadia Easter Bush since they were 1 years old. The staff are amazing with them and create lovely bonds with children. The activities particularly they have done over the years are greatly additional and over and above most nurseries - the care home visits, forest school days, and football skills classes. The nursery is like an extended family, and my kids have thrived there.

Settling in for our child was excellent and he has after a few months really enjoys going into nursery. He loves the space inside and outside and the staff respond excellently to what the child expresses an interest in doing that day. The daily feedback is also much appreciated and the working together in eg naps makes the transition from home days to nursery days much easier. Fantastic experience.

Arcadia is a brilliant nursery with great outdoor space, creative activities put on for the children daily, and caring staff. We have had great experiences for both our children at Arcadia. The outdoor location is one of my favourite aspects about the place.

Very happy with Arcadia nursery and the service that it provides. Our child has now been attending there for several years and really enjoys going. The facilities are very good and it's in a great location with lots of outdoor space. The staff are always very helpful and go to a lot of effort to put on a range of learning activities. They always provide lots of feedback on how our child is getting on and we can see that they care about his development. Overall it's a very high-quality nursery and we are very happy with sending our child there.
