Corner House Nursery Stirling

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've used this nursery for the last 4 years. Currently have a child in the 3-5 rainbow room and our youngest will be starting in the baby room later this year. Since the management change around a year ago the nursery has gone from strength to strength. The staff are brilliant and we get great updates
at the end of each day advising what our child has been up to including the friends they've been playing with and the topics they've been doing activities around (currently the environment). There's a new social media page which is lovely to get a small glimpse into their day with little short video clips of snack time or whatever activity they've been doing. The staff are really caring and there's a great choice of activities for the kids to do as well as lots of outdoor play. We feel like the staff know our child really well and couldn't be happier with the level of care received. Would definitely recommend this nursery!

My little girl started at Dunblane Nature Kindergarten last month and it has been fantastic so far! The settling in process was brilliant, it gave us the flexibility and confidence we needed and she settled in easily. The staff are all excellent, with great food and indoor and outdoor activities for
the children too. Our little girl loves her nursery days and we're already noticing her development has really come on since starting at Dunblane Nature Kindergarten. Very happy with our choice of nursery!

My son has been in the Sunbeam room since October 24. Initially I was very nervous about leaving him at nursery 4 days a week to return to work. All the staff made the transition much easier, through brilliant communication and showing such care and understanding to both me and my son especially in
the first few weeks when drop offs were a bit difficult for us both.
He now absolutely loves going to nursery trotting in on his own with a big smile and waving bye bye. I have noticed his development come on leaps and bounds with eating independently, speech, walking etc. The staff are great at keeping me informed as to what they've been up to, eaten, slept everyday. I am so happy I chose this nursery as it has made going back to work much easier knowing my child is having a nice time and is in an environment that he is thriving in.

I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful care and attention my child receives at Dunblane Nature Kindergarten. From our first initial visit it was clear that the staff is passionate about nurturing and educating the children. The environment is warm, welcoming, and safe, with a variety of activities
that keep my child engaged and excited to learn each day. The staff are incredibly caring, always taking the time to provide attention to each child's needs. I appreciate how they maintain open communication with parents, keeping us informed about our child's progress and any special moments. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their little ones.

Child has been going to Dunblane Nature Nursery for nearly a year and has had a great time during their time with them. Staff are always receptive and helped resolve an issue where my child was missing their friends as they aged out of the younger groups, so let him head up earlier, which has been great
for his development. Play environments are also full of fun and they have a great exposure to play and activities outside the room which is fun to see. The amount of information we get from them is also useful, and help with dietary problems has helped. Did have some issues with communication earlier on and access to systems, but all gets resolved in good time.

Our son joined the nursery aged 1 in August 2024. He struggled with separation anxiety but the staff made loads of extra effort to help him settle. Now he absolutely loves nursery and toddles in barely noticing we're leaving. The leaders in the sunbeam room are always doing extra activities and changing
the room to make sure it feels new and fun. I am so happy with our choice to send our son to DNK.

Our little boy attends Dunblane Nature Kindergarten (rainbows) twice a week and absolutely loves it.


He has come on leaps and bounds socially, emotionally and just as a wee character since starting here nearly 2 years ago.


The biggest selling point for me is the outdoor focused play and learning.

Our little boy absolutely thrives in this environment and it's a pleasure and joy to watch through Instagram updates.


The girls are so attentive and kind with all of the little ones and they always make time for a chat with the parents at drop off/pick ups.


Lovely bunch of staff and a fabulous nursery that we can't wait to introduce to our newest addition to the family!

My little girl has been at the nursery since Sept 2024 and she loves it. She took a while to settle in, but the staff were so patient with her and let us have as many settle in sessions as needed and they were always so encouraging of her improvements.
She gets to do a range of activities when she's
there and I'd say the nursery has helped her loads with independent feeding, sleeping and play. I like that the staff are always happy to cuddle her and comfort her if needed too.

Dunblane Nature Kindergarten is a fantastic nursery with great staff. My son started his journey in the baby room and is now transitioned to p1 although continuing his stay at Dunblane Nature Kindergarten by attending their out of school club. Each room has great facilities for kids and it has been
great to see my son develop over the past few years and now thriving in P1 due to the care and passion delivered from the team. All the staff are so welcoming and have great relationships with the kids and families, you can see they all care. I would highly recommend Dunblane Nature Kindergarten to everyone, it really is a fantastic place.

My first daughter started nursery when she was just turning 3 and after difficult drop offs at a previous nursery, she instantly felt comfortable and happy to attend and 1.5years later she continues to love her days at nursery and all of the staff. The way she speaks about her teachers is like that
of close family which is lovely.
My youngest recently started and at just 1.5years it feels like a home from home environment where she receives great care. Her speech has came on greatly and loves to sing all the nursery rhymes. I couldn't say enough good things about this nursery and its staff, the children are so happy, the activities are well thought out and nature is a huge part of their daily learning. Would highly recommend.

My son loves his time at nursery - he has a great bond with the staff and has made lots of friends. The facilities are good, very spacious rooms with a good range of activities each with their own garden access. There seems to be a good range of activities and learning opportunities. There are some
excellent staff working in the rooms (we've experienced the toddler room and 3-5 room) they are friendly I feel they genuinely care about my son.
I would like to have a bit more regular and personalised updates about what my son is up to (beyond the handover at the end of each day), a nursery we were at previously had a good app so we got photos morning and afternoon each day, details on what had been eaten, details of nappy changes etc and there was a messaging function to communicate directly with the staff in the room. Something like this would really add value.
