Strawberry Hill Nursery

General information

Strawberry Hill Nursery is located in Edinburgh, midway between Prestonfield and The Grange, on the corner of Minto Street and Blacket Avenue within a stunning, traditional Victorian villa which has been refurbished to the highest standards. The nursery is served by excellent public transport links and is just a short drive from the city bypass and the wider motorway network.

Playrooms & Garden

The nursery interior is carefully designed and has a number of rooms offering dedicated play areas for each age group. Rooms are well laid out and offer an excellent range of resources to support early learning.

There is a splendid all year round outdoor area where children enjoy regular fresh air, exercise and learning across all areas of the curriculum. Staff and children make fantastic use of the many surrounding facilities afforded by their proximity to the city including parks, gardens, theatres, the library and much more.

Early Years Care & Education

Our nursery has been an established and trusted early education centre for over a decade. The nursery has won local and national awards in recognition for its exceptional quality standards. Children are cared for by an enthusiastic, skilled and experienced team of childcare practitioners who plan learning experiences to meet the needs of each individual child.

There is a lively and energetic buzz to the playrooms where children enjoy an extensive range of learning opportunities with staff committed to creating an atmosphere of acre, respect, learning and fun.

Further to this team at Strawberry Hill Nursery recognise that the time working parents get to spend with their children is precious and therefore do everything in their power to ensure that time is extra special. Time saving services available from the site include:
- E-Learning Journals - parents/relative can log in from home
- Delivery acceptance services

Additional Learning Opportunities

Our nursery is dedicated to providing a variety of learning opportunities for our pre-school children and so we offer music lessons and horse riding. We are visiting by a local teacher who provides more focussed learning activities and opportunities for children who develop early literacy and numeracy skills. We have staff who speak Polish. We also have a pet guinea pig that the children enjoy caring for, observing and feeding during the day.

IIYP & Eco Schools

The nursery is a recognised Investor in People and an ECO schools centre.
