Brilliant central nursery with huge outdoor area. Communication with the parents is great and not overwhelming or pointless. Children are always learning and having fun. I feel very lucky that my child got a place.
-Charlotte Gosling
Excellent care! The staff are knowledgeable and experts in dealing with small humans. Our daughter loves Edzell and has absolutely flourished there. She loves all the outdoor activities and the fact the children can use the garden when they want to. I couldn't recommend it enough . Kirsty Pollock

Edzell is my sons first nursery experience. He absolutely loves it. He has made so many friends and feels so comfortable there. The staff know him well and help him to be independent. We feel very lucky to have found Edzell.
-Karmen Boyd
Edzell is absolutely fantastic. I can not recommend it enough. My three children have all been to/are currently attending Edzell and they all adore it. The staff are extremely well qualified and their love for the children is obvious for all to see. As a primary school teacher myself, I know that they really know what they're talking about when it comes to early years education.
-Mrs Helen Woodruff
This is not just our son; we love Edzell as a family. The atmosphere at Edzell is entirely child-centered. You can find everything children need for a great day at a nursery. Our son adores the nursery's yard, and the teachers are incredibly patient and supportive. We migrated here a few months ago, and our son didn't speak English. Due to our migration and his potty training challenges, he faced difficulties. Our great fortune was enrolling him at Edzell Nursery, where the teachers, with their expertise and knowledge, addressed these issues with immense patience and compassion. We could never have done it ourselves.

My son has been there a few months and he loves it! The care and attention he gets as an individual, shows in the improvement we see in his vocabulary, knowledge, independence, emotional management and overall happiness. The nursery is a home away from home for him. I know he is still making friends so the credit goes to the teachers more than peers for his eagerness to go everyday. They are also great at organising onsite and outdoor activities, so it’s not the mundane everyday. He’s my third child but first one going to this nursery… I wish I knew about it earlier for my other two!
