When Mac started nursery, I had to quickly get my head round - leaving my baby with strangers and going back to work. Thankfully from day one, Nicole, Lyndsay and Brooke put me at ease. He learns new things every day. His dancing /love of music always got a smile as they described it to me. Mac seems to love all his trips and the pictures of him at the zoo with Nicole and Lyndsay are my favourites. My mum and dad still speak about grandparents day and how welcome they were made. It's the talk of their friends in Aberdeen!

It is nice to see that my son enjoys a lot going to the nursery. It is cute to see how he makes new friends and how much he enjoys the activities that the nursery proposes. The rooms are made to develop his fantasy and his skills and when he comes back at home he is always happy.

Pinocchios Heriot Watt is an excellent nursery. From the home cooked meals, the wonderful outside space to the fantastic staff that know all of the children and their siblings. They’ve looked after both my little ones from 10 months old to school age for my daughter and my son who is currently 3 1/2. They both loved/love going there.

Prior to Pinocchio's, our son attended a different nursery who were unable to provide the level of care required for his additional health needs, since moving to Pinocchio's all of his needs, and more have been taken care of diligently and sensitively. In addition our son's social and emotional development has notably progressed thanks to an individualised approach.

I just wanted to say a big thanks for everything you have done for both Struan and Breagha over the years. We have been using the nursery for nearly 8 years now.

I have been using Pinocchio's at Heriot Watt for nearly 3 years and I regularly highly recommend the nursery to anyone that will stand still and listen. The facility itself is great but the staff are just fabulous. I give them the 2 most precious things in the world on a weekly basis and they care for them exceptionally! I think all the staff are fabulous and I am very grateful that my babies are in very safe hands. Fingers crossed they can be awarded for the excellent job they do as a team.

We feel very positive about our child's learning and development within Pinocchios Nursery. The staff always recognise our child's achievements and identify areas in which they can benefit from more with focus and encouragement. We feel informed and involved every step of the way and we have a brilliant relationship with the staff.

I feel completely happy to leave my child in your care. The staff seem very caring

My daughter has been at Pinocchios for three and a half years and loves it. All the staff are friendly and helpful. You are kept well informed on the curriculum they are teaching and get photos of your child completing tasks through play. I would certainly recommend Penicuik Pinocchios.

Tracey Stewart

Parent

The nursery is very safe and secure, there are cameras at every main door and the gate is locked while children play outside. I am confident my child is safe while at nursery.

Boogie Beat music & movement is very fortunate to run weekly workshops with Pinocchio’s Nursery. The quality of care for the children is wonderful. The staff are fantastic, and very much take part alongside Rosie in their Boogie Beat session! The team are focussed on early years communication, physical development, personal and emotional development and also teaching confidence, co-ordination and social skills whilst the children learn to express themselves.

I'd just like to say a massive thank you to Michelle and the other workers in the baby & toddler room. I have noticed a change in Harper since day one and can see each day how she grows and develops thanks to your staff. Each staff member is so polite and always so helpful.

Pinocchio's nursery has exceeded our expectations with the outstanding care they provide in a nurturing and welcoming educational setting, for our two children. The children all benefit from a dynamic and professional team, management, practitioners and chef are passionate about the children, their individual needs and have a genuine warmth about them. We are always impressed with the huge effort and creativeness that the practitioners demonstrate in delivering fun yet educational activities, including, yoga, gardening, themed learning, outings and imaginative play. These are showcased daily on social media, journals and emails. All of these communication channels keep caregivers informed of the children's activities and developments.

We're delighted with the care our daughter receives at Pinnochios. She loves her teachers and is kept so busy that she sleeps soundly after a day there! Every time we pick her up she is in a great mood, having spent the day with friends doing activities she loves. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pinnochios to others.

We choose Heriot-watt Pinocchios due to the location, but I’m glad we did! Our daughter started here at 11 months old and is now 2 and thriving in a fun, caring environment. When we drop her off we know she will be well looked after and most importantly for a child, feel secure and have fun

I am very grateful to the Gilmerton Nursery Staff. The Nursery Staff are helpful, warm and always has a smile on their face. When my little one started at the nursery he was not crawling, he is not only crawling but walking as well.

Pinocchio’s Eskbank is awesome! I have not once had reason to doubt my decision to send our little dude there. The staff are supportive, caring, attentive and so professional. The facilities are fantastic and the kids have lots of opportunities to engage with a variety of activities there and in the wider community as well. Parents are well informed and they really use the Facebook page to keep you updated on what the kids are up to. I highly recommend Pinocchios if you are looking for a nursery in Dalkeith – it’s the best!

Sarah Gale

Since Joining Pinocchios my daughter’s development has developed very quickly. She always enjoys her time at nursery and is always talking about her friends and the staff that look after her. The staff know what she needs and they have built strong relationships with her. They are all very friendly and approachable and create a welcoming environment for all the children. The rooms are all clean and well organised and are very homely.

This is a truly great nursery, which my daughter moved to as a result of her previous nursery failing on many levels. In Pinocchio's, the staff are fantastic, caring, understanding, and have the welfare of each child at the forefront of everything they do. My daughter loves it there, and I feel 100% secure that she is safe, happy and well looked after.

My little girl loves going to Pinocchio's,she has been there since she turned 1 it's her second home, she is confident and content being there which is because of the environment and the wonderful staff. As a parent I can leave her there with complete confidence that she is cared for in every way and wouldn't consider sending our next child anywhere else.

Gillian McVittie

Parent

The staff engage really well with the children and uphold the highest standards of care. Every effort is made to develop an attentive, supportive and friendly learning environment. The children receive top class meals that are freshly prepared by Nicky and are always full of chat and stories about their day. The highest compliment I can pay Pinocchios is that I am very comfortable leaving my two girls and I have no need to be worried about their welfare while I am at work.

David McGuire

Karen has had a huge impact on both our daughters experiences at Pinocchios nusery. Her kindness, patience, energy and care have impressed us hugely and thanks to her efforts both our girls managed to settle in and then enjoy, develop and thrive while in the baby and toddler rooms. She has very high standards and always goes the extra mile to support and nurture the children she cares for.
