Thrive Culcheth

from Chris J (Father of Child) published on 5 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Musselburgh Nature Kindergarten

from J F (Father of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started at MNK around four months ago and we've been thrilled with his experience to date.
Due to work commitments, we had to send him to nursery far sooner than we would have liked, as he seemed so tiny and young. But MNK has been wonderful: he is almost always happy when we drop him off
and pick him up, tired out from a day of playing and eating and discovering. We couldn't ask for more from the Baby Room staff, especially his assigned worker, who he adores. We always get information about food, naps and activities. The staff are switched on, caring and attentive. Being around other babies and in such a positive environment has really helped with weaning, too; the menu is varied and we're pleased he gets to discover such a range of foods. We are so appreciative of them helping our son thrive. Management have also been friendly and engaging. Fees feel high but are standard for quality childcare in 2026 and in the area - and if our son is happy, then that's enough.
Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Musselburgh Nature KindergartenThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. Were absolutely delighted to hear how happy your son has been at MNK and how supported youve felt during what we know can be a very emotional transition back to work.

It means a great deal to us that he settles so well each day and that youve felt confident and informed about his naps, meals and activities. Our Baby Room teamand especially his key workerwill be so touched to hear your kind words. Creating a caring, attentive environment where our youngest children can thrive is at the heart of what we do.

Were also really pleased to hear that being part of the room has supported his weaning journey and enjoyment of a varied menu. Thank you as well for your comments about our management team; we truly value building positive relationships with our families.

Were so grateful for your trust and are proud to be part of your sons early development. Watching him grow and flourish is a real privilege for us.

Corner House Nursery Trafford

from Terri P (Mother of Child) published on 26 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Usually after the Christmas period it takes time for my son to get settled again, yet this time he was overjoyed to go back, running in with such excitement in his actions and speech
I feel this change has come with 2 members of staff who my son idolises. Their nurture and support has made his speech
come on so much and I feel such at ease when I'm working that I know he is happy.
Thank you.
Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Corner House Nursery TraffordThank you so much for your wonderful review.

My child is in the baby room and has been attending the nursery for a few months and I couldn't be happier with our decision to place him here. The staff are so welcoming, friendly and supportive to both our child and us as parents. They made his transition into nursery seamless and it's clear he enjoys
his time there and has a wonderful relationship with his key worker and other members of staff. The facilities are brilliant and there's a wide range of activities and elements for the children to engage with and use to develop their skills. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Holyrood Nursery Dryden Street

from M W (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My child was there for over 2 years and left this January 26. My original plan was to keep her there until she went to primary school. However, lots changes in September 2025, followed a wave of staff resigned, it is so hard to communicate with the new management team and issues happened one after another.
Now lots of new staff or agency staff there.


Because of the numbers of complains in late 2025, Ofsted carried out two visits within 2-3monthes. Ofsted served a Welfare Requirements Notice to Holyrood Dryden in December 2025. Ofsted are due to carry up a follow up regulatory visit on or soon after 26 Jan 2026. Please see most recent Ofsted report.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Holyrood Nursery Dryden StreetThank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear that your child's final months with us did not meet your expectations, especially after such a long and meaningful time in our care.

We recognise that the period from September 2025 onward brought significant change, including staff transitions and leadership adjustments. We understand how unsettling this can feel for families, and we regret any communication challenges or concerns this may have caused.

We appreciate your review and take all feedback seriously. We are actively working to address every requirement, strengthen our staffing stability, improve communication with families, and ensure consistent, high-quality care. A follow-up visit is expected on or shortly after 26 January 2026, and we welcome the opportunity to demonstrate progress.

We appreciate your child being part of our community for over two years, and we genuinely wish your family every success and happiness in the future.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I previously had my son at another nursery but decided to move him for numerous reasons. After looking at nurseries in the local area, my son ran to play in this one straight away and we knew this was the one for him. Hannah was very helpful in showing us around and answering any questions we had. Also
reassuring us that our son's needs would be met daily.
Since starting, my son has come on leaps and bounds and is supported daily in his learning. The girls at the nursery are amazing.
Thankyou so much.

Holyrood Nursery Dryden Street

from Kylie B (Mother of Child) published on 15 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My child attended Dryden Street for 1 year (2024-2025), until we removed her due to significant safety concerns. Poor management, poor communication with staff and parents, and a complete disregard for children's safety meant that we were no longer happy leaving our child there. The nursery uses significant
numbers of transient agency staff who cannot form adequate relationships with the children. Management have been quite confrontational when dealing when parental complaints, and a number of staff have recently left including both managers (one of 23 years service, the other 7 years) which speaks about environment within.
As of December 2025, the nursery is under an Ofsted Welfare Requirements Notice - which can be seen on Ofsteds website. I would advise reading this before you consider sending your child here.
Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Holyrood Nursery Dryden StreetThank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how upsetting this must have been.
We acknowledge that this was a challenging period for the nursery, and we have taken the concerns raised very seriously. Since then, we have been working hard to strengthen our leadership, staffing stability, communication, and safeguarding practices.
Feedback such as this is important to us, and our priority remains the safety, happiness, and development of every child in our care. We are committed to continuous improvement and rebuilding trust through our actions moving forward.
We wish you and your child all the very best.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son H has been with Corner House Gillsland for nearly 1.5 years starting in the baby room and moving up to the toddler room. The permanent staff are really fantastic, going above and beyond to make my son feel happy, engaged and looked after. They do so many fun activities (shout out to the Christmas
snow tray [made of sensory flour]) and he comes back full of excitement to tell us what he's been up to. The staff clearly care about their work and the chef is great. H eats so well at nursery and has picked up a love of curries (which sound delicious!). This is a great nursery.

Corner House Nursery Banchory

from J M (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 Nursery Banchory

from A N (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Corner House Nursery Banchory

from Lindsey B (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
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

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!
