Review of Thrive Boddam Village from K C (Uncle of Child) published on 8 May 2026 Submitted via Website

Just an amazing space for young people to learn explore and be comfortable

A smile on a child's face when you either drop them off or pick them up speaks volumes for atmosphere and character of the staff

Review of Thrive Banchory Riverview from M R (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has recently started Riverview and has had an incredible start. All the staff we have met so far have been nothing but kind and welcoming to the both of us. The room itself has a large variation of toys and activities as well as the large outside area- She always comes home very happy at the end of the day with lots of positive things to say about her day at nursery. I am so thrilled and look forward to her enjoying her time here. I know she will thrive and be very well looked after.

Review of Thrive Cove Bay from A W (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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 Bay

Thank 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 just recently moved up a room in the nursery and it is evident to see in how he acts on drop of and the progress he has made with speech ect that the staff are providing a rich learning environment in which our son feels safe, secure and so happy in. I could not have chose a better setting for him to begin his nursery education. Staff are friendly and welcoming and updates to the app to share his daily journal are always completed

I feel confident that my wee dude is in safe and nurturing hands when I drop him off, thank you so much

Review of Thrive Boddam Village from Ashley C (Mother of Child) published on 4 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review of Thrive Banchory Riverview from J M (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2025 Submitted via Website

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.

Review of Thrive Banchory Riverview from A N (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review of Thrive Banchory Riverview from Lindsey B (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.

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!

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.
