CONTENTS Contents News Dear Reader
It’s been an exciting year at the School Guide, we’ve launched a new website listing Edinburgh’s Nurseries and Schools together in one valuable resource
nurseryandschoolguide.co.uk In addition you can find our joint Facebook
and Twitter pages now listed as facebook. com/NurseryandSchoolGuidesEdinburgh
twitter.com/SchoolNurseryEd I’ve also been busy creating our new Instagram account
instagram.com/ nurseryandschools_edinburgh Here you will find short video tours starting
with Independent Pre-school, Primary and Junior Schools. I have posted the tours as Instagram stories but you can still view past tours saved on our profile page. This Autumn I will be posting videos of mini tours around Private Nurseries in Edinburgh, then back to tour the Independent Senior Schools early 2020.
These mini tours are designed to help you select nurseries or schools to book your own private tour around. I do love to read your messages on Instagram and where possible I will try to ask any of your questions during my tours.
Hope you find all our resources useful and good luck with your search
