We aim to give the best value childcare for your family. Our fees include a two course,
nutritious hot lunch and morning and afternoon snacks for children attending for the full day.
Children attending for the morning session receive morning snack and lunch and children attending
afternoon sessions receive afternoon snack.
As a parent of the Waterfront Nursery you will have access to an individual online learning journal for your child.
Children under 2 will receive daily sheets which detail sleep, food and nappies for the day. Older children will receive
this information as part of a verbal handover and details of lunches will be available on the lunch board for pre-schoolers.
Parents are also invited to be involved in the nursery as part of our parents’ committee where we ask for feedback on the nursery
and any ideas for development of our service. We run stay and play events and are always happy to welcome parents and carers to
share important parts of their culture with the children.
We provide support for children with additional support needs. Please feel free to contact our Additional Support for
Learning Co-ordinator, Vicki Shiels to discuss your child’s needs and how we can help. We regularly work with many
external agencies and other professionals as part of the Getting It Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) approach.
10% reduction is available on session fees for second and subsequent children from the same family attending simultaneously.
Please note a minimum of 2 sessions a week must be booked.
STUDENTS
We welcome college students, staff and families as well as the public. We are one of the only private nurseries in Edinburgh
who offer term time only contracts to students, allowing parents to apply for funding without paying for non-funded student
holidays. Students can also sign up for extra childcare during student holidays, on a pay as you go basis, depending on availability.
