Morningside Children's Nursery

The Morningside Children's nursery is the first co-operative nursery in Edinburgh. The nursery was previously funded by the NHS, and due to the financial climate, the funding was taken away. The 8 staff memebers of the nursery had two options, 1) to quit and find new jobs or 2) take the nursery on as a co-operative. The staff so chose, to stay open and run the nursery by themselves, with no funding. They are now heading in to their third successful year, and at the moment looking to recruit more staff to due their 6 month waiting list for a place. Their rates are very cometitive, especially for Morningside, at least £300 a month in some cases. Their staff have at least 10 years experience, and ages range from 27 to 50 + years old. Mature and experienced staff is a very passionate work ethic here. They offer a very homely and caring learning environment for children aged birth to 5.Each child is treated as an individual and all needs are catered for to the highest of standards. All staff are SSSC registered and undergo regular training on all aspects of children's education.
