Thrive Cove Bay

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter has been going here for over 18 months and she loves it. The staff are beyond amazing, they are accommodating and considerate of issues at home and help work with my daughter to resolve them and make her more confident in day to day life. My only negative would be that the pre school garden
could do with some love and attention regarding the bark chipping as has become a mud pit from over the winter.
Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Thrive Cove BayThank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! Were delighted to hear how much your daughter enjoys nursery and how our team has supported her confidence and day-to-day growth. Your feedback about the preschool garden is greatly appreciated, and well look into improving it to ensure a safe and enjoyable outdoor space for all the children.

My son has attended this nursery since he was one and has progressed from the baby room through to the pre-school room and all staff have been amazing and are so patient with all the children. He loves that they get to spend so much time outside in their lovely garden and out for walks around the village.
When they are in the nursery when the weather isn't great they are brilliant at helping him learn through play and he has really thrived while attending here.
Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Thrive Boddam VillageThank you so much for sharing your experience with us. It has been such a pleasure watching your son grow from the baby room all the way through to pre-school what a wonderful journey!

Were so pleased to hear that youve found our team to be patient and supportive. Creating a nurturing environment where children feel happy, confident, and excited to learn is at the heart of everything we do.

Its lovely to know how much he enjoys spending time outdoors in the garden and exploring the village on walks, as well as thriving through play-based learning indoors when the weather keeps us inside. We are so proud of all he has achieved and grateful to be part of his early years. Thank you for your kind words and continued trust.

I'm delighted with the care my daughter has received since starting corner house. The staff in the teddies room are very attentive to her needs and are always trying hard to make her experience as enjoyable as possible. They go above and beyond to settle her if she gets upset at drop off and nap time.
Thank you ladies, I'm very grateful for everything that you do.

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.

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 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 has been attending Happitots since she was a year old. She will be 4 this year and she still loves attending nursery and gets excited when she knows it's a nursery day. The staff have always been very supportive of her ASN and have always ensured she is nurtured, included and safe when in
their care. She has thrived since starting nursery and we are so proud of the little girl she is becoming. I can't thank the staff at Happitots enough for being so welcoming and supportive to not only my daughter but to me, as her mummy, too.
