The Country Park

Situated within the beautiful and expansive woodland of Dalkeith Country Park, The Country Park Nursery offers a serene setting for children aged 3 months to school age. With 75 places available across four rooms—Bunnies, Hedgehogs, Badgers and Foxes.

Our nursery provides a rich, indoor environment complemented by regular outdoor experiences. Many of our children also attend our sister nursery, Treetops, for split placements.

Open Monday to Thursday from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, only closing between Christmas and New Year. We partner with Midlothian Council to provide funded Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) spaces. We accept all childcare vouchers and Tax-Free-Childcare, ensuring accessibility and support for families.
