As a first time mum taking my son to nursery for the first time was very scary for me and my son and the staff were absolutely brilliant they made me feel so reassured, they explain everything I needed to know, leaving him there for the time was very emotional and the staff made it so much easier for
me and my son, I know my son will thrive here.

Corner House is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has attended for the past two years and it is like a home from home. The staff have been excellent in supporting her from her first settling in days, through transitioning rooms, and through any wobbles in confidence along the way. She has formed close
bonds with the staff who treat her with love and respect. They go the extra mile to make her time at nursery both fun and educational, supporting her development socially and academically.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have had only good experiences when dealing with Cornerhouse nursery. Our son was thoroughly supported to settle in through a series of positive visits. The staff answered all questions and were great to deal with.
Since he's been there we've been hugely impressed with the range of activities/experiences
that the children get to take part in. The staff put in so much work to make sure each day is different and keep the children interested. They very quickly formed a positive relationship with our son and he is clearly happy when interacting with any staff. We would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

The best nursery!!
Our son started at Corner House in September and he immediately settled in with the help from all the staff in the bumblebees.
I couldn't wish for any better people to look after our son. Alisha and Janette in particular are absolute stars.
Each morning you are greeted with
a smile and all the children are happy and content. All the staff genuinely look as though they love their job.
I would 100% recommend Corner House to anyone

My son started in August 2025 and settled in very quickly. He loves the staff and loves going to nursery. I have noticed he is becoming more confident and finding new interests. He loves the activities and going outside to play with his friends.


I would recommend the nursery for the staff. They are

so welcoming, helpful and nurturing.

Both of our boys attend Corner House nursery and absolutely love it. The staff are really lovely and make it a special place for them both. It is always overwhelming returning to work and putting your children to nursery but the nursery and staff have made this as easy as possible for our family. We
couldn't recommend them enough! Our boys love playing with the other children, nursery workers and learning news things. They are always so excited to go!

The staff at Corner House are absolutely fantastic. I feel extremely confident leaving my child in their care and am regularly updated with what he has been getting up to. The nursery promotes lots of outside time for the children and they often go on walks to the local park, they are constantly kept
busy and stimulated. This is the second child i have put through corner house and i am extremely happy with the level of care my child receives and the effort they put into his development.

My daughter is so happy attending Corner House. She is absolutely thriving and from the beginning, the staff clearly care about her and her wellbeing. She takes part in lots of activities, lots of sensory play, and lots of outdoor play when the weather was good.
She eats well at nursery, lot of variety
and we've been able to offer her similar meals at home that she clearly enjoys.
I would like if the updates on the app were more regular, but I understand that staffing levels and priorities can affect this.

Excellent nursery. My son has attended for 2 years and has a great time when he's there, taking part in lots of activities and learning experiences. He loves being outdoors and is always out having fun in the garden or exploring the area.


The staff team across the nursery are lovely, always make drop

offs easy and can see how they all know each child. Would recommend.
