School throws open doors to nursery paid for by closures
Clermiston Primary School will today unveil its brand new nursery school today, which has been funded by money saved in the recent round of school closures.
The 500,000 centre will cater for youngsters aged from three to five and is designed to be used by teachers in a flexible way.
The new nursery has space for 40 morning and 40 afternoon places, an increase of 20 on the previous nursery facilities contained within the main school at Clermiston.

It's just one of many new facilities that we are developing despite the difficult financial situation faced by the city."
