Thrive Culcheth
from Chris J (Father of Child) published on 5 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son is currently in pre school at the nursery and is absolutely thriving ! I could not recommend this nursery enough especially since the current manager taking over she is always so friendly and welcoming and has time for everyone. The pre school staff are amazing my son really loves them all and

has come on so much recently they know exactly what his wants and needs are they know him so well!
He also eats better at nursery than at home and I'm confident he gets a healthy balanced diet by being at nursery.
My little boy will go to school in September and I know that he will be more than ready because of his experience at Culcheth nursery!
I also have a baby who will be starting next year and can't wait to see how much she is going to love being there I have so much confidence and feel so comfortable leaving my children at this nursery.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Thrive CulchethThank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are absolutely delighted to hear how well your son is thriving in pre-school and how happy he is with our team. Your kind words about our manager and staff truly mean a lot to us - they work incredibly hard to ensure every child feels understood, supported, and cared for.
It's wonderful to know you feel confident in the care, learning, and nutrition your son receives, and that he's feeling ready for his next big step to school in September - that makes us so proud. We're also very much looking forward to welcoming your baby next year and being part of her journey too.
Thank you for trusting us with your children. It's a privilege to be part of your family's early years experience at Thrive Culcheth.

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.

The Mere Nature Kindergarten
from C M (Mother of Child) published on 24 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Stacy and Sarah are so warm and welcoming. They run the nursery really well. The nursery workers in the rooms are always thinking of great activities for the children and are so kind. We've been in every room now and have sent both children to Mere. Our children love the staff and they couldn't do enough

for us. They were really generous and helpful during settling in for both children. We love that the children get to run on the cricket pitch and go for wanders as pre-schoolers. The newsletters keep us up to date on all the lovely things the children have been up to and we really appreciate when we see photo updates on the apps.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at The Mere Nature KindergartenThank you so much for your heartfelt review. Stacy and Sarah along with the whole team will be delighted to hear your kind words. Were so pleased that both of your children have had such positive experiences across all the rooms at Mere. Creating fun, engaging activities and providing a caring environment is at the heart of what we do, so its wonderful to know this shines through.
Were glad the settling-in period was supportive for your family, and that your children enjoy exploring the cricket pitch and going on walks as pre-schoolers giving them space to learn and grow is so important to us. Its also great to hear that the newsletters and photo updates help you feel connected to their day-to-day moments.
Thank you for your trust and continued support it means the world to us to be part of your childrens journey.

from Abby H (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Both my son and daughter have attended Corner House since they were 12 months old. The staff care so much, there's a lovely homely environment, the chef Kerry is brilliant. Emma, Laura, Helen, Bridget, Beth, Shaugna, Joy, Beth, Emily, Maisy, Jenni (Im sure ive forgotten a few so apologies) - all absolutely

brilliant. My little girl goes in so happily, and my sons time at the nursery prepared him so well for school. The outdoor space looks amazing since Bridget took over as manager, with a castle, playground and bike path. Can't recommend enough, I just wish staff were paid more as they do an amazing job

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Corner House Nursery WistastonThank you Abby for your wonderful review, We agree the new outdoor space is absolutely brilliant and we are so happy its having a positive impact.

Thrive Frodsham Hill
from Alice G (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Cannot speak highly enough of this nursery. My little boy has attended since around 12 months old and now my twin girls. The staff are absolutely incredible, they are always willing to help and answer any questions. The staff are all very knowledgeable and really take the time to get to know your children.

There are 2 members of staff in particular who have been my children's key workers who have just gone above and beyond at helping my children. The majority of the staff at the nursery are long serving members of staff which was one of the things we loved when we first visited the nursery. Both the manager and deputy manager are very friendly and approachable. Both are more than happy to answer any questions.
The meals provided are healthy and nutritious with any allergies catered for. The nursery always looks clean and well maintained. The outside play areas are lovely with there also being a grass play area.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Thrive Frodsham HillThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! Were absolutely delighted to hear how happy youve been with the care your children have received over the years. It means the world to our team to know that you feel supported and confident in the environment we provide.Were especially pleased that your experience with our long-standing staff and key workers has been so positive they are truly dedicated to helping each child thrive, and your recognition means a great deal to them.We also appreciate your comments about our meals, cleanliness, and outdoor spaces.

Holyrood Nursery Warrington
from Y H (Grandmother of Child) published on 18 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My two precious granddaughters attended Holyrood nursery in Warrington. The youngest leaving in August 2025. Their time spent at the nursery was a very happy one. Where they thrived, making many friends and building strong connections with the wonderful staff. I cannot praise the staff enough. They

are kind, caring, very knowledgeable about children's needs and the EYFS. Over the years I got to know several of the staff. They always welcomed me into the setting no matter what time I came or how busy they were, taking time to tell me about my granddaughter's day and what they had been doing. They should be very proud of the important job they do and the difference they make to children's development. I would like to thank them and wish them all the very best for the future.

We are truly touched by your heartfelt message.It has been an absolute privilege to be part of your granddaughters early years, and were so pleased to hear that their time with us was filled with happiness, friendship, and positive growth. Watching children thrive and develop is what motivates us every day, and knowing that we've made a lasting impact means the world to us.Weve loved getting to know you and your family over the years, and your continued support and warm presence in our setting has been greatly appreciated by all of our team. Thank you for recognising the work we do we are so proud of each and every child who comes through our doors, and your words remind us why we do what we do.We wish your granddaughters all the very best in the next stages of their journey, and we hope they carry many happy memories from their time at Holyrood.

Overall Experience

I'm extremely happy with the progress my child has made since joining the program. He truly enjoys every part of it and looks forward to the sessions with excitement. I've noticed a remarkable improvement in his communication skills and overall confidence. Earlier, he used to be quite shy and hesitant

to express himself, but now he speaks more freely, interacts with others comfortably, and participates with enthusiasm. It's wonderful to see him growing into a more confident and expressive child, and I'm so grateful for the positive environment that has encouraged this change.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Thrive Grosvenor HouseThank you so much for your kind and encouraging words. Watching children come out of their shells and begin to express themselves more freely is one of the most fulfilling parts of what we do.

Thank you for your trust and for allowing us to be a part of your child's journey. We look forward to seeing him continue to thrive!
