We are an independent Nursery Company who have been operating in East Lothian since 1995. Links Nursery is situated in Balcarres Road, Musselburgh, in a lovely site overlooking the racecourse. Our aim is to provide a high quality, safe and nurturing environment to enable our children to be cared for and develop in the best possible surroundings.
All our staff have, or are working towards, their Nursery Nurse qualification and our Managers also have, or are working towards a Nursery Management qualification. Each Nursery has a Manager and Deputy Manager with a Room Supervisor for each age group. We work in Partnership with East Lothian Council to provide the pre-school education curriculum.
Links Nursery has been established with the needs of children aged 0-5 in mind. We care for the children in 4 groups 0-18 months, 18 months-2 years, 2-3 years and 3-5 years. In this way the children have key workers, facilities, toys etc specifically for their age and stage of development. Children of all age groups come together on occasion to allow siblings to play/snack together and to encourage social skills amongst all the children.
We have large outdoor garden play areas, sleep/rest rooms, wet play areas and fully equipped kitchen facilities to provide nutritious lunches and snacks.
We are planning a state of the art Sensory room incorporating interactive fibre optics, bubble tubes, light displays and sensory toys for both a stimulating or soothing experience for all age groups.
Our pet corner teaches children responsibility and care and we have regular visits from, for example, our dance teacher and 'Play 2 Learn' sports coach.
