Juniper Green Nursery, a place where we can be ourselves, be the best we can be and help others to do the same

Our school aims were formulated by the pupils, parents, staff and wider community of Juniper Green Primary. The Juniper Tree reflects the contributions of the whole school community. The vision, values and aims of our nursery were reviewed and updated in consultation with our nursery parents in January 2022.

As the Nursery is an integral part of the school it shares the same core aims. We aim to implement a child-centered approach to education and care. By following the Nursery aims we recognise the vital contribution pre-school education provides in developing children’s learning through a wide variety of experiences and natural progression, leaving children confident, enthusiastic learners, ready, eager and well prepared for starting school.

As a nursery we offer 1140hrs for 64 children. We operate term time only in conjunction with the school and we are unable to offer any childcare & early learning during holiday periods. We are open for four full days from Monday to Thursday and a half day on a Friday.

Children can be registered for Nursery from two years onwards and are eligible for a Nursery place from three years onwards. Places are allocated to four-year-olds first and remaining places are then offered to three-year-olds on our waiting list. Further information, including how to apply for a place at nursery can be found on the City of Edinburgh Council Website which can be accessed by clicking on the link below.
