testimonials

We can’t thank you enough for caring, teaching, nurturing and loving Corrie so much in her most important years of her life. It’s been a wonderful time we will never forget.

Felicity and Jeff Grant

We consider Forbes to be the best nursery we have come across in Edinburgh and would not hesitate to recommend it. The staff are friendly, welcoming and caring and the nursery succeeds in providing a real “home from home” environment. The range of activities provided is excellent and in particular we have been impressed this year with the development of the garden and the physical exercise programme - perhaps you should offer yourself up as an example of how to encourage exercise amongst young children, particularly with current concerns on childhood fitness and the possibility of compulsory PE sessions in state nurseries!

D Wright & S Smith

His sense of humour has flourished and he enjoys telling jokes and making people laugh. All in all the nursery has thoroughly prepared him for the transition to school and beyond.

M Hallybone

Grace has gained lots of confidence at Forbes, which I don’t think would have been present if she had not attended nursery. She enjoys learning and I feel she needs the stimulation. She loves all her friends and plays games at home that her and her friends have played at nursery. She has enjoyed her time at Forbes immensely.

J Bernard

Eve has loved her time at Forbes. She thrives on social contact and plenty of stimulating activities. She has appreciated the outside space at Forbes because she is very interested by nature and also is a very active, physical child.

S Woehrling

Sam has gained a lot from nursery, as an only child he has been able to mix with other children from an early age on a daily basis. Sam enjoys learning new things and the nursery has provided a facility to do that in fun ways.

S Sneddon

Michael is always happy to go to nursery to meet his friends. Michael thoroughly enjoys the advantages offered by the spacious garden at nursery from playing football and climbing trees to making discoveries such as how plants grow. The imaginative cuisine at nursery has expanded his tastes.

J Pantony

Just a very small thank you for all the warmth and kindness you’ve shown to all of us over the past couple of years. It really has been a home from home for Joe and I am very grateful to you for that.

Gillian Crandle

I am almost broken hearted at the thought of not having a child at Forbes - for seven years the nursery has been a central part of my life and I can never thank you enough for all you have done for us particularly in recent times.

J Bishop

We would like to pass on our heartfelt thanks for your care of Alex and Christopher over the past 6 1/2 years. Thank you for providing a haven for the boys that felt safe, nurturing, stimulating and above all fun.

Susan, Graham Watson

We have been so happy with the experience all three of our children have had with you at Forbes. I’m delighted that Daniel could have the same nurturing care that Ben and Esther enjoyed at that stage.

K Jordan

I wanted to thank you for all your warmth and kindness you have all shown Owen and occasionally me! You’ve helped shape my son into a grounded young chap at a time when being a single parent has been, at times a little hard going.

S Cruickshank

If someone had asked us five years ago to come up with the ideal childcare facility to Laura, I don’t think we could have thought of anything as good as Forbes Nursery. We can’t begin to tell you how grateful we are for all the love and care that has been given to Laura. You have made the first five years of her life very special and I’m sure she’ll carry the benefits of that with her throughout her life.

A Cochrane

Three years ago Robert came to us as a little boy traumatised by his early life experiences and with a great deal of difficulty in relating to the world around him. He found new experiences and situations very difficult to cope with and struggles enormously with other adults and children. Last month he started school as a boy transformed. He has settled into school easily and is happily relating to other children, adults and all the new experiences in his world.

We have no doubt that the high level of care, patience and skill of the staff at Forbes has been a crucial factor in allowing Robert to develop into the confident little schoolboy he is today. We are enormously grateful to you all. Three years ago we dearly hoped that Robert could overcome his difficult start in life and reach his full potential. Today we can comfortably say that he now has every opportunity to do so.

Dougie has thoroughly enjoyed coming to the nursery and we have been very pleased with the care and attention that he has received. We have had no hesitation in recommending Forbes Nursery to our friends and work colleagues and wish you all the best for the future.

A Mackay and A Fleming

Jamie has gained confidence and good social skills at nursery. He has loved his 4 1/2 years at Forbes.
