About this Edinburgh Nursery

Description

Welcome to St George’s Little Dragons Nursery — where imagination takes flight and learning begins with wonder.

Nestled within the heart of St George’s School, our nursery is a joyful haven where laughter echoes through leafy hideaways and curiosity leads every adventure. Guided by our experienced early years team — including a qualified nursery teacher — we offer a nurturing, play-rich environment that blends creative exploration with a strong academic foundation in early literacy and numeracy.

Our bespoke curriculum, rooted in national early years guidance, encourages children to grow emotionally, socially and academically, with parents as active partners in every step of the journey. Our nursery extends well beyond our playrooms thanks to our extensive school location; from the Fantastical Forest to the Secret Garden, our Little Dragons spend more time outdoors than most — discovering, imagining, and learning through nature.

At the heart of it all is our magical nursery dragon, who brings stories to life and helps instil the values of kindness, courage and curiosity that our children carry with them through into our Junior School.

St George's Little Dragons Nursery is more than a beginning — it is the first step in a lifelong journey of learning and belonging. As part of the wider St George’s School community, our nursery children benefit from a smooth and confident transition into the Junior School, surrounded by familiar faces and shared values. From joining whole-school celebrations to exploring shared spaces, our youngest learners grow up feeling connected, supported, and inspired. By the time they take their next educational steps, they are not just ready for school — they are already part of our vibrant and stimulating community.
