Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool

Thanks for everything you have done.

First full month after starting with the preschool. The team has been fantastic from day one with us, my daughter felt really safe and confident after a quick change from being with child minder and from a small group to a busy and much bigger area in a very short period of time, and she is a very sensitive little girl. Dani, Alison and Aicha has been amazing, but with time I got to know more of team and so happy to say they are all very lovely. My daughter is happy and full of excitement every time I pick her up, I get regular updates from the nursery, and if I am a little worried about her, I can message or call and they always coming back to me quickly to reassure me she is fine. I know I can trust them. The team always smiling, even after a long week, even tho it must be so tireding for them, looking after these little people :) I'm glad I choose Mulberry Corner.

Unfortunately had an awful experience with this nursery. My child came home often with wet socks and wet clothes which I don't know how long he's been in all day. Also some of the staff members decided to turn against me for some unbeknown reason and have really not been nice towards me so much so that I've had to pull my son out And still have to pay fees even though he was not attending due to how I was treated do not recommend this nursery at all.

This nursery provides a good environment for children, and my child was happy there. However, I found their approach to supporting parents quite unhelpful and inflexible. When I started working and needed to change my child's sessions from four morning sessions to two full days, my request was refused - even though there was availability. They cited their terms and conditions, which require two months' notice for any changes or cancellations.

Unfortunately, this meant I had to find a childminder for the afternoons, which was very difficult and stressful. I also had to leave work every day at lunchtime to collect my child and drop them off elsewhere, which caused unnecessary stress and extra costs. This countinued for two months! I believe a bit more understanding and flexibility from the nursery would have made a big difference for working parents.

We have had such a wonderful experience from the Baby Room right through to Preschool. The staff have taken the time to really know our daughter and support her at every stage of her development. She has grown in confidence, curiosity and independence, and we can see how much she is learning and thriving in their care. The warmth, dedication and nurturing approach to care from the team shines through, and it's reflected in the way she plays and communicates at home! We couldn't be happier with the caring environment the nursery provides.

My daughter has just moved on to the toddler room after leaving behind the lovely baby room. I had concerns that she may be worried going in to a new room in the mornings with new staff but as the nursery have done such a good job of integrating all the children and staff from different rooms during different times (outside play, movie afternoons) I've not had that issue and she runs in as happy as ever. So far I'm really happy with Mulberry Corner and most importantly so is my daughter.

The staff are happy, enthusiastic and supportive! I would certainly recommend Mulberry to my family and friends.

I have found all at Mulberry Corner incredibly attentive and kind towards my girls. I was very nervous about them going to nursery but that nervousness was gone within the first couple of days of them starting due to how reassuring all staff have been. Thank you

I couldn't sing mulberry corners praises enough, they are incredible!

Really impressed so far with the nursery. We moved our daughter in May and we have already seen a huge improvement in her development. Love that the nursery offer a variety of activities and also food at mealtimes, they really care about the children and it's great that we regularly get updates and observations on pit daughter. Very pleased and would highly recommend!

Mulberry corner is a wonderful nursery. My daughter started in baby room at 12 months old and is currently in toddler room at 2.5 years old. She absolutely loves going to nursery and has made some lovely bonds with the staff in toddler room which makes it feel like nursery is an extension of our family. The effort the team put in to organising the numerous activities for the children and regularly updating the progress of the children is exceptional. I love seeing pictures everyday of what our daughter has been doing and she's always laughing and smiling. The Nursery's approach to child development is wonderful and our daughter's language and social skills have hugely benefited from attending. It is clear the staff are genuinely invested in the well-being of the children and their communication with parents about all aspects of the child's health and development is fantastic. We're very grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery!

Our little one has only been at the nursery for a couple of weeks, but we've already been really impressed. The staff are so friendly and approachable, and they've made the settling-in process much easier than we expected. We really appreciate the regular updates, especially on days when drop-off has been a bit emotional, it's so reassuring to know how he's getting on. The setting itself is lovely, with lots of fun toys and different areas for the children to explore. We're really happy with our choice and already feel confident that he's in safe, caring hands.

My child has been at mulberry corner for just over a year now and is developing beautifully. The staff are excellent, they are supportive and encourage him to learn in ways he wouldn't at home. He walks in with a smile and walks out with a bigger one! They have a lovely sized garden to play in, with 3 different areas inside for the children to progress through. The app is continually updated throughout the day with pictures. Sending him to Mulberry was definitely the best decision we've made!

My Daughter joined Mulberry Corner's babies room a few months ago and we are really pleased with the level of care and development she is getting from the team there. While there was a period of settling in, which we felt the nursery team really supported us with, she now gets excited when we arrive in the morning and always looks like she's had a busy and fun day when we collect her! Everyone who we speak to is really lovely and takes a genuine interest in her. We especially like the 'what next' for her developmental milestones, which really work and we have seen a huge improvement in certain areas of focus with this.

The app is great for seeing what shes been doing during the day and also for keeping in touch when needed.

Would really recommend this nursery!

Since moving from Bright Horizons my daughter has developed in leaps and bounds. She has developed some very advanced skills and speech. She always has a smile on her face when I pick her up and the staff are delighted to tell me about her day. She can't wait to go back in the morning. The management team and staff are very accommodating. They listen and explain any questions you may have. And if they don't have the answer or solution at that exact moment, rest assured they will get back to you. Thank you team Mulberry Corner

We have recieved an outstanding amount of support and I'm very happy to have my child at this nursery. He enjoys his time there and gains a lot from all the lovely activities provided. They are doing a great job at supporting his development and forming relationships. It's beautiful to see. Thank you!

Our daughter is thriving at Mulberry Corner Nursery! She has created strong friendships and developed many skills thanks to the nurturing and friendly staff. Everyday, we receive an update on how the day goes and parents can see lots of lovely photos of the activities, the children do so many different things and the activities are very original and creative (we often get to bring home homemade food or colourful masterpieces). They meet the needs of each child specifically, for instance they try to communicate in French with our daughter who speaks French and English at home. Parents are invited to workshops throughout the year like Mother's/Father's Day teatime or Christmas crafts afternoon. It's also with great pride that we read the regular reports explaining the new skills our daughter has acquired and what are the next steps for her development and how the nursery staff encourages and supports her learning. We are very happy and pleased that our child is looked after so well!

Would highly recommend, thank you for everything you do.

The nursery provide ample opportunities for development however the amount of observations / documentation of development could be improved but I imagine this is down to time pressures. Regardless of this my children are happy and content there.
