“Amazing nursery! Staff are always so helpful and lovely towards each children, parents and other staff members. My children love little flyers and we are so lucky to have such a supportive, encouraging and caring staff that take amazing care of our children!”

“I have a Granddaughter in Little Flyers Livingston. When I pick her up she is always happy and tells me she has spent most of her day outdoors. I love that they have free flow. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The manager is very approachable and always greets parents with a smile. Great nursery with lots of links to the community. Would highly recommend.”

“Our dog Oryn has been going to Meadowhill for about 3 years now and absolutely loves it! He gets excited when the car turn the corner at the top of the road as he knows where he is going and can't wait to get out and run inside. They have an outdoor play area, a deck area and a cosy area inside, so the dogs have a great choice of what to do and a rest area when needed. The staff there are all very friendly, take great care of your dogs and they put regular posts on the Facebook page, so you can see what your dogs been up to. I would highly recommend Meadowhill.”

Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing and engaging nursery!”

“Our son has been going to St Margarets for over 2 years now and he absolutely loves it. The rooms are beautiful and they have lots of space to play outside. The many is varied and if my son does not like the food that day, they always provide lots of healthy alternatives. The staff has always been thoughtful and helpful.”

“Went in for an early reassurance scan today, had a great experience both the reception staff and Sonographer made me feel so at ease and comfortable. The sonographer was very informative explained to my partner and everything that we were seeing. 10/10 experience Will definitely be back!”

“Lovely afternoon tea with lovely relaxed surroundings. Staff were attentive & friendly. Sandwiches, savouries and scones were excellent but we personally found the cakes a bit too rich.”

“This place is amazing for toddlers!!! One of the best play areas for my son we have ever found. Just a wonderful joyful place”

“The Lodge Coffee House – A Caffeinated Trip into the Surreal Nestled in the caffeinated underbelly of Edinburgh lies The Lodge Coffee House, a stone sanctum where time sips itself backwards and espresso machines hum ancient jazz riffs. Upon entering, we were greeted by Mick, a man forged from equal parts kindness, bacon, and 80's nostalgia. Like a caffeinated Gandalf, he emerged from the steam with eyes full of welcome and hands full of bacon barms. He threw them at us, not aggressively, but like a benevolent goblin flinging gifts at chosen mortals. The coffee.... the coffee. Brewed by a barista who may have once been a shaman, the flat white shared secrets. The atmosphere, like being hugged by a velvet bear in a log cabin built by monks who understand everything. We had a chat with Mick about life, meat, and the nature of gravy. At one point, he levitated slightly while describing his sausage procurement strategy. The location is prime, trees bowed politely as we sipped. In short, The Lodge is not just a coffee house. It’s a mystical experience wrapped in cured meat and friendliness. Five out of five cosmic beans. Would definitely go again.”

“Really helpful staff and beautiful facilities.”

“Good for young toddler's to meet and play aswell as parents. The staff are brilliant”

“By far the best pharmacy in Livingston. Great service, knowledgeable friendly staff. Efficient and professional service always.”

“Lovely staff lovely food and not expensive at all”

“We had a wonderful experience at the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People in Edinburgh. Our son was unwell during our trip, and the care we received was outstanding. Special thanks to Dr. Connor, Dr. Katie, and the amazing nurses—they were kind, professional, and truly compassionate. We’re so grateful for the NHS and the incredible staff here. Thank you for taking such great care of our little one!”

“The best dentist out there. Nadia was very understanding and did everything she could to make me feel at ease. From the receptionist to the dental team everyone was so friendly and helpful.”

“Visiting Edinburgh and found this gem right next to our hotel. Rancho Steak House served one of the best steaks we’ve ever had! Great portions, amazing flavour, and very friendly staff. Highly recommend if you’re staying near Princes Street”

“A great first visit to this soft play. The girls working were fantastic and so helpful. Coffee was great and good value for money. Kids really enjoyed it, will definitely return. Only thing I would say is I did need my coat, it’s chilly when it first opens. Didn’t affect the kids though.”

“Could not have been more delighted with the Laser Tag party package that we booked here for a late November 11 year old's birthday party. The facilities were fab, the food was good quality, the staff were all so lovely, and the laser tag part was so so well organised and fun. Huge thanks for a brilliant party.”

“Best quality meal ever!! All dishes, the crab tartlet, Cod, Venison, dessert were expertly and tastefully prepared and presented with care. One of us was dairy- and gluten-free, so plates for that person were customized. The wait staff were perfectly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the dishes and libation options! And the view is incomparable!”
