Musselburgh Nature Kindergarten

Musselburgh Nature Kindergarten Thrive Childcare and Education, a leading UK provider of nurseries putting children first every time! This concept forms the core of our ethos.

Musselburgh Nature Kindergarten is situated on the Esk Riverbank of Musselburgh and provides a stimulating atmosphere to encourage your child’s development in a caring family-orientated environment. We offer quality childcare to children from birth to 5 years old. We also provide an Afterschool Club and Holiday Club for children up to the age of 11 years old. Playrooms within our nursery are gener

ously proportioned, carefully planned and extensively resourced to create inspiring learning environments in which children can grow and learn with confidence. Each playroom has access to outdoor play areas offering the opportunity for regular outdoor learning opportunities across all areas of the curriculum. We are passionate about quality Early Years Care and Education. We believe that children learn through play, living, example, interaction and teaching. We recognise the importance of each child’s healthy self-development. We aim to achieve this through praise, guidance and encouragement. Children will be encouraged to develop respect, learn to share, and learn to be kind, fair and to develop good manners. We actively act upon small children’s desires to learn and experiment. These are of great importance for their development and enjoyment of life. We are committed to equality of opportunity. Our toys and equipment reflect the social diversity of our society and all children have access to these, ensuring non-stereotypical/non-discriminatory practice which respects all individuals. Above all we provide a secure and friendly care environment in which you, the parent will feel completely relaxed and at ease when leaving your child.

Happy Easter from everyone at Musselburgh Nature Kindergarten!

Thank you to our Toddler parents who joined us for our Easter stay and play this afternoon. We loved seeing our Toddlers exploring with their families, engaging in some arts and crafts and Spring themed water and sensory trays. A lovely afternoon full of smiles and laughter.

We hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! 🐥🌸

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week💛

Our children have been exploring their feelings through stories and discussions, as well as looking at our Colour Monster displays to help understand different emotions.

Talking about feelings from a young age helps children build confidence, empathy, and emotional wellbeing.

Here is a lovely short video you can watch together at home❤️

We believe that our children's voices are the most important ones to be heard, so this month we handed them the power of chosing our Staff Spotlight award.

It was so lovely to watch so many of our wonderful team members receiving votes from children across all our playrooms.

⭐️ Well done to Tracy from preschool for receiving the most votes! ⭐️
