About Us

Here at Loretto Nursery we offer inspiring Childcare and Early Education for children from 6 weeks to 5 years of age. We also offer Out of School Care including a Holiday Club for children from 5 – 11 years. Based in Musselburgh alongside the lovely river Esk, our nursery is within easy access of both Loretto Junior and Upper Schools, and just minutes away from the town centre by foot. Find our nursery here.

Playrooms within our nursery are generously proportioned, carefully planned and extensively resourced to create inspiring learning environments in which children can grow and learn with confidence. We pride ourselves on offering children a wide range of activities and all of our children have access to outdoor play areas offering the opportunity for regular outdoor learning experiences across all areas of the curriculum.

Lovely back garden, really good location! Right on the river Esk, Newfield is there too, so plenty space for kids to run about.

I would recommend this nursery to everyone! The staff are attentive, kind, caring and positive. So happy and comfortable leaving my daughter in their care, she has come on leaps and bounds since starting. A fantastic amazing, wonderful nursery.
