Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The standard of care and education at Corner House is exceptional. Our daughter's cognitive, emotional, social and physical development has been amazing during her time at the nursery. She loved going to nursery and she has made so many new friends. The staff cares deeply about the children and they
have always been supportive and responsive with all of our questions. They provide regular observations regarding our daughter's development with pictures, which we love to see. We are very happy to be part of Corner House family and I highly recommend the nursery to any parent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child started attending the nursery when he was just over two years old, and we've had a truly positive experience ever since. The teachers are experienced and caring - they helped him settle in smoothly during the early days and supported his development with patience and understanding.


Throughout

his time at nursery, the staff have encouraged him to build essential self-care skills and gently guided him in learning how to play and interact with other children. They've also done a great job noticing his interests and helping him explore them.


We especially appreciated the regular updates through the nursery's app, it was lovely to see photos and notes about his day, and it helped us feel more connected to what he was doing and learning.


We're very grateful for the support and care the team has given our child, and we'll always look back on this time fondly.

For the past three and a half years, my daughter has thrived at Corner House. Its nurturing, family-like environment, coupled with lovely staff with whom my daughter has formed nice bonds, made her really happy. They offer a great range of activities, including yoga, tennis, theatre and Portuguese classes.
I also love that our child enjoys healthy, homemade food, freshly prepared by the chef daily. I highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Anshul S (Mother of Child) published on 6 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We enrolled our daughter in the nursery at 9 months old, and while leaving her that young was absolutely heart-wrenching for me, the experience has turned out to be so positive. The staff are incredibly warm, nurturing, patient, and attentive, and they made her transition smooth and reassuring from
the start. What brings me so much comfort now is seeing how happy she is to go each day-she no longer cries during handover and actually looks forward to it, which says so much about the safe, loving environment they've created. It was also very important to me that the nursery is clean and has a dedicated space for babies to play, rest, and feel secure-and this place truly checks all the boxes. We're so grateful for the exceptional care she receives every day.

We are so happy with The Corner House. Our daughter came here from another nursery aged 2 and she loves it. So much so that this morning she was sitting in her pram and telling me to hurry up as she wants to see her teacher. Highly recommend. Very friendly with a family atmosphere and yet professional
and well run.

My child has been attending Corner House for nearly 3 years and has always enjoyed going.
The staff are always thinking of new activities and games to entertain the children, which always include educational elements.
My child enjoys yoga, drama and gardening. The food menu is always varied and sounds
delicious. My child loves the food!
Overall, we are very happy with Corner house and would recommend to others.

We have had a very positive experience with Corner House Day Nursery. It is a very caring and nurturing environment and our sons (3 and 8 months) are very happy in their capable hands. My 3 year old has thrived throughout his time here and comes home most weeks having learnt something new.
Having
just settled my 8 month old in the baby room, I feel very grateful that he is in such a kind environment where the staff are so supportive. I feel they have a very personal approach which makes the transition to nursery less daunting.

From the very beginning, the staff at Corner House welcomed our daughter into Baby Room with open arms and made her transition into nursery life (and mine!) smooth and stress-free, showing exceptional care and understanding. Their warmth and professionalism create a genuine family feel that reassures
parents and delights children. We couldn't be happier with the nurturing environment they've created, and it's wonderful to see our daughter thriving and enjoying every moment.

The Corner House Day Nursery staff are friendly, professional and caring. Our two boys love going and have done since they started (the older one has been there for 2 years) - they particularly enjoy Teddy Tennis and all the messy play activities. The food is great with home cooked meals throughout
the day and they have a lovely outside space for learning and outdoor play. A massive thank you to the whole team for providing our two boys with a safe, nurturing and fun environment.

Amazing nursery with an all-included high-quality service and learning content, homemade food by a chef every day, a family-like atmosphere with long-standing and reliable staff, and welcoming "home sweet home" facilities. Our daughter was on a waiting list and we were so pleased to be able to join
for pre-school and nursery class for a very positive 50-hour-a-week experience. Our son has started in the Baby room and he is still part of Corner House Nursery. Both of our kids have been delighted to go each day and to experience a wide range of activities, regular outdoor play, and visits to the local parks and shops. I would highly recommend it to any busy parents willing to get excellent support.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has recently graduated from Corner House after 3 years and the family will all miss nursery immensely. Our daughter also attended and it's been their second home for so long. The staff are fantastic - key people form special bonds with the children in their group. The nursery encourages a partnership
with parents through regular focus week feedback meetings. Our son loved the activities every week - Theatrebugs, Teddy Tennis, and yoga. The highlight of his day was the delicious home-cooked food - thank you, Chef! In the nursery class that our son has just left, the children are given independence and many opportunities to extend their learning and choose topics that interest them. Our son is more than ready for reception thanks to the brilliant teaching and the way that Corner House prepares the children for their next step. It's a fabulous nursery!

We were delighted to secure a place at Corner House. It stood out to us for its homely feel, engaged and friendly staff, homemade food, and smaller capacity. Our son started at the beginning of the year in the Baby Room, and we’ve been really happy with his time there. The staff are all welcoming, make
an effort to get to know each of the children from different rooms, and feel well invested in our son’s development.
The outdoor space is lovely, and we appreciate that the toddlers have open access to it. For our son to have freshly made food every day was also really important to us. Overall the environment feels like a home away from home for him. We would very much recommend Corner House.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.886)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.886) out of 10 for Corner House Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.886 for Corner House Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (234 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.886
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Corner House Day Nursery is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 39 number of registered child places is 7.8, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
