Colinton Private Nursery is a children's day nursery based in Edinburgh that has been operating since 1997, and offers 59 places. The important thing to recognise with your child's education is that the sooner it can begin - the better. Every parent wants to give their child the best possible start in life. Children attending primary school after having the benefit of a nursery education have a head start on those who do not. We believe in taking what a child can do as the starting point to their education. Children progress and respond in different ways, and we aim to create an environment that is tailored to accommodate each child's stage of development, and is flexible enough to be adapted to suit his or her individual needs. Just as love, time, and attention will bring their rewarding responses from a young child in the comforting environment of the home, so the situation at nursery must match this devotion to their happiness and well-being if it is to be a worthwhile experience.
