Edinburgh Nurseries Ranked by Inspection | Edinburgh News

0:00A new report from the time Scotland has ranked nurseries across Edinburgh looking at over a thousand inspection reports. They graded nurseries on leadership, learning, care, and child progress. The top spot went to George Harriet School, which received a perfect score. This nursery comes with a hefty price tag costing over 11,000 pounds annually. Other nurseries like Time Castle Nursery School, Oxgangs After School Club, and George Watson's also earned top marks. These rankings are based on the care inspectorate's assessments, which happen regularly, and unannounced to ensure high standards are met. The report uses a point system with the highest possible score being 24. On the other end of the spectrum, St. Joseph's R.C. Primary School in Brumhouse was ranked the lowest. Inspectors found issues with leadership stating it wasn't effective in ensuring positive outcomes for children and families. While kids felt happy and staff were supported, the report noted that children didn't always experience safe and well-managed care.

1:01Gingerbread Child Care's toll-crossed nursery, which focuses on supporting single parents, shared the bottom spot with St. Joseph's. It's worth noting that we, Jim's and Livingstone, received an even lower score across Scotland. But within Edinburgh, these two were at the very bottom of the list. Local officials have stated that improvements have been made at St. Joseph's since the inspection a year ago. They emphasized the staff's dedication to ensuring children feel safe and loved, with new practices implemented to boost leadership, learning, and support.
