Absolutely amazing nursery!! My wife and I went to visit several in the local area and Broomhall was BY FAR the most impressive - every single one of the staff is there because they truly care about the welfare and development of the children. We have sent both of ours there and they loved it!

My children have thrived here. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and nurturing. They take the time to understand each child as an individual, building trusting relationships that help children feel safe, secure, and confident. Their kindness and patience are evident in everything they do, and it’s clear they are passionate about supporting early development. A standout feature is the strong family feel. Communication with parents is open, supportive, and consistent, creating a real partnership in each child’s care. Families are always made to feel welcome, and the team goes above and beyond to ensure everyone feels valued.

A truly wonderful nursery that we feel very lucky to have been part of. Both of my children were so happy there and settled quickly, which made leaving them each day feel so much easier. The care and attention from the team is exceptional - I always felt complete trust in them, and it’s clear how much they genuinely care about the children. Both of mine thrived during their time there and were always excited to go in, especially for the music sessions, which they absolutely loved. The staff are a really special group of people, and I feel incredibly grateful that they were such an important part of my children’s early years.
