Fantastic nursery all round! Staff are amazing, kind and thoughtful. I personally have been through a lot since my son has started nursery, but knowing I have the full support of the staff, I can breathe a bit easier. Could not fault anything!

Review from G R (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Lovely staff, good variety of activities that keep my children engaged and happy. Only non-positive aspect is that the prices keep going up and it feels unsustainable, but that is a feature of the sector and not just this nursery. Ellie in particular has been brilliant, and is major reason why we stay at the nursery.

Review from Sarah C (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We cannot speak highly enough of Corner House, The Grange. As parents of twin toddlers, we were a little anxious about starting a new nursery, but from the very first visit, the team put us at ease. They are incredibly helpful and friendly, but also genuinely caring.
Our girls absolutely love it there. It's clear from their excitement every morning at drop-off, and the happy chatter and songs we hear all evening after pick-up! The staff have taken the time to really understand each of their distinct personalities and support them both individually, while also helping them grow socially as a pair.

The team have created a truly special place where our twins are not only cared for but are genuinely thriving. We're so grateful to them for helping to make their early years happy and memorable!

Review from R D (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our child has been at the nursery for almost 18 months and it is like a second home to her. She's so excited to go every day!
The staff members are all warm, welcoming, loving individuals and every single one, from the housekeepers to the cook, are fantastic with the children.
Day to day, the kids do loads of activities - arts, crafts and messy play - and the staff have started doing lots more learning activities recently.
The nursery itself is very clean and a lot of effort has been put into sprucing the place up. The outside areas have been greatly improved recently as have the indoor displays and it's now a really welcoming environment. Some bits are still a little rough around the edges and need a kick of paint, but nothing major.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to friends and family!

Overall Experience

All staff from baby room, toddler room, office to kitchen staff are very welcoming, always put on a happy face and are genuinely interested in you as a parent as well as the well-being of your child! It is such a comfort to have my only (very spoilt) little boy in this nursery as I know he is cared for and nurtured to the high standards I require. The facilities are ever changing, meals nutritious, outings regular and faces always smiling.

Review from Anna-Maria M (Mother of Child) published on 9 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our experience with Corner House The Grange baby room has been wonderful. From our first visit, we were impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff are exceptional-trained, professional, and incredibly caring. Our son has thrived under their care. Each caregiver takes the time to understand the needs and personalities of the babies. Their genuine affection and dedication are truly heartwarming.
The well-balanced meals are thoughtfully planned to meet the babies' dietary needs. Our son always looks forward to mealtimes and has developed a healthy appetite.
We always feel well-informed about his daily activities and progress. The regular updates and photos are reassuring, showing our son happy and engaged.
Overall, the loving staff and nurturing environment have given our son a fantastic start. If you seek a place where your baby will be cherished, I highly recommend Corner House The Grange.

Thank you to everyone for making our son's time with you so special.

Review from Susanne B (Mother of Child) published on 17 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been with the nursery for two years and has enjoying his time there. I believe staff know my child well, and understand them and their needs, and in turn I believe my child to have a good connection with staff. I have also noticed the setting make an effort to provide the children with experience outside the setting, such as going for walks in the local area, or visiting the local library. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and personable, from the teachers in the rooms to staff connected with the day-to-day of the setting. A recent change in management has seen some welcome improvements in communication with parents, changes to the running of the nursery for the benefit of staff and children, and an effort to enhance the appearance of an older building and make it more presentable. The nursery has good sized outside garden spaces for the various age groups, not something that can be taken for granted in a city environment.

The nursery is going through some changes which I hope to be good for the children attending, with new staff, room layouts and resources. The staff are understanding and caring towards the children's needs. The food prepared within the nursery is of good quality and a wide range of variety.

Review from A S (Mother of Child) published on 15 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My toddler has been attending Corner House Nursery The Grange since November 2022 and we are delighted with his progress and the care he receives. All practitioners are knowledgeable, caring and know each child individually, therefore able to best cater to their needs. With the nurturing environment providing a 'home from home' environment, we, as parents, can tackle the day ahead knowing our child is extremely happy, is learning, well socialised and loved. I have already recommended the nursery to several friends who are eagerly awaiting places for their children. Thank you.

Reply from Jemma Binanti, Marketing Executive at Corner House Nursery The Grange

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us, we are delighted to hear your positive comments. It is wonderful to hear that you are happy with your son's progress so far. It is fantastic to hear you have recommended us to friends. Many thanks, The Thrive Team.

Overall Experience

I highly recommend this nursery for its exceptional care of children with special needs, such as my son who has type 1 diabetes. The staff are highly trained, dedicated and provide exceptional care and education for all children. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters growth and development for every child, including those with special needs. The attention to detail in the curriculum and care plan for my son's diabetes is truly remarkable. The outstanding facilities provide a safe and secure environment with a wide range of resources for children to explore, learn and play. I confidently recommend this nursery to any parent seeking exceptional care for their child. Thank you for all that you do.

My little girl loves the Corner House Nursery The Grange. She has such a lovely relationship with her key worker and it has such a lovely homely feel to it from the chef who knows all the children to the manager who is so approachable. The manager goes above and beyond when it comes to the children. I couldn’t ask for a better nursery setting for my child. They make me feel at ease when I am leaving my child in their hands.

Review from S H (Father of Child) published on 5 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Corner House is excellent. Our two daughters go there and they both love it (the staff, the different rooms, the outside space and the other kids). We've been so impressed by the love and care the staff provide to the children (they really do care), and the number of activities the staff do with the kids. It's really helped our 3-year-old develop and become more able to manage and articulate her feelings/emotions. I can't recommend this nursery highly enough!
