St John Vianney Primary Early Learning and Childcare

The newly built nursery is now open and has been designed with a nurturing, holistic and natural environment to support children’s learning and development.

The building has been designed with flexible open plan spaces, with free flow access directly to the outdoor spaces to allow the children to follow their interests while they learn. 

The nursery will have a capacity of 110 children in total. 80 of these spaces will be for children aged 3- 5 years old. The remaining 30 spaces are for eligible two-year olds who qualify for a place. 

Admissions

In accordance with City of Edinburgh Council admissions policy, children are eligible for a space at the setting from the first intake after their third birthday. You can access the admissions policy on the link below:
