To encourage children to learn about plant growth, several balcony garden areas have been developed with funding from Grounds for Awareness and looked after by the nursery team, helped by the children. There is a kitchen which serves school lunches.
The school has strong links with the local community and is able to utilise local resources such as Gorgie War Memorial Hall garden, Gorgie Farm and the excellent facilities at Saughton Park. When funding is available, nursery children use Dancebase and attend other theatrical & musical events.
