Welcome To The Gyle Nursery

Thank you for your enquiry regarding The Gyle Nursery. The Nursery celebrates its 20th birthday this year and I cannot tell you how old it makes me feel. My name is Karen Fairlamb and I started the Nursery in 1986 after the birth of my first son (which now makes me the mother of a 20 year old!). I was unable to find a Nursery place suitable for a baby in Edinburgh. The Edinburgh Nursery was one of the first Nurseries to offer childcare for your child from birth to school.

Whilst The Edinburgh Nursery is one of the most established we also pride ourselves on being one of the most innovative. I have been heavily involved in childcare development and with various bodies including HM Inspectorate of Schools as an Associate Inspector and as chairperson of the Scottish Independent Nurseries Association. I was also the chair of the Childcare Partnership for 3 years. I am also very proud that members of my staff were in the first group of students in Scotland to achieve SVQ Level 4 in Childcare and Early Education and also in the Professional Development Award. They are in an elite group of the most highly qualified staff within this field.

The Nursery is family friendly and we have many families who place two or more children with the Nursery. We offer a discount of 10% to second and subsequent children from the same family attending one of our Nurseries and also an 11% reduction on Nursery fees when you take a full time place. £1230 per annum is available to children in the term after their 3rd birthday for a full time place as partnership funding and this is deducted directly from your monthly fees. Pro rata partnership funding is also available for part time attendance.
