My daughter has been at kiddies corner for 3.5yrs. She is about to leave for school and the amazing person she has turned into wouldn't have been possible without the support of all of the Kiddies Corner staff.
They have encouraged her, supported her, comforted her & provided more than enough cold
compresses for my clumsy one!!
I can not fault any of the staff or their teachings. They truly are amazing & any future children will definitely be attending Kiddies Corner!

Lovely nursery with genuinely caring staff. Our son loved it there and will miss the staff heaps. Massively grateful for all of the help and support - it is a great nursery - thank you.
We found all of the nurseries in the local area were quite short on outside space but loved that kiddies corner
made the most out f the local area by going to the beach, the park and wildwood etc.

Our daughter has been at this nursery since she was 14 months old, and she is about to leave to start school.
We're so happy to recommend this nursery. The staff are kind and patient, our little one talks a lot about her key worker at home, which we love. There is always a good variety of activities
and she's learnt lots, like how to hold a pencil properly, counting and the alphabet. The children are able to play outside and choose what they want to do.
We utilise the early starts and she stays for dinner, the children are encouraged to try new things but they've also been able to accommodate our fussy eater
I couldn't recommend this nursery enough

I cannot thank all the wonderful staff for the way they have supported my son. He has come out of himself and become a lot more confident, his speech and his learning has come on leaps and bounds and that is down to the wonderful care and support from the team at Kiddies Corner. Would highly recommend
to anyone looking for their child to consider this nursery.

From the very first day, the staff made us feel completely at ease. They are caring, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do.
The environment is safe, clean, and filled with wonderful learning resources. We've seen so much growth in our little one's confidence, language skills, and
social development. It's clear the team puts a lot of thought into every activity.

No other nursery could compare to how wonderfully kiddies corner has taken care of my daughter these past 3 years! From a 1 year old in the baby room to a 4 year old school leaver! Their communication is fantastic, daily updates, trips out, parties, parades the list goes on! My daughter adores it here
and is very sad to have to leave. The upmost care, respect, and fun is always given from the staff here. I could go on for ages about how wonderful this nursery is!

Good nursery and well communication with staff and parents.
Little one always loved going which was a good sign and was always telling us about her day. Love the fact that wildwood are there for the children to attend aswell as going to parks and supermarkets. Fair with parents aswell as the children
and always go down to children's needs when they need them most. Always recommend to friends and people who ask about which nursery my children attend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child started Kiddies Corner in April 2023. I was hesistant as the nursery he was at previously wasn't the best with communication and he didn't seem all that settled there. The owners eased all my worries and my son has thrived at Kiddies Corner, he's made lovely friends and all the staff have such
a great relationship with the children and parents. They post pictures all the time of what they have been up to, they're always doing fun activities like making pizza, sensory play and drawings. They take groups of children to Wildwood which I think is amazing and regularly have little trips out to the beach or park. I could not recommend them enough. Will miss him being there so much but I know they have gone above and beyond to help him as he starts a new chapter at reception.

My son has been going to Kiddies Corner Day Care for nearly a year now and will soon be leaving for big school and I can't thank all the wonderful staff for their hard work, dedication and care they've given my son and myself since he has been there. My son has an amazing bond with his key worker and
the whole nursery has a real home from home/personal feel. They ensure everyone is included and adapt so many activities to suit and bring out the best in the children, you can see they genuinely care and its reassuring to know how safe and content my son is! He always asks if its a nursery day! I had a couple of worries in the beginning with a few things but these were dealt with by management quickly and eased any concerns I had. Kiddies Corner Day Care was the only nursery my son went into when we were viewing and immediately felt comfortable and I put that down to how warm and safe the staff made him feel.
Thank you for everything! Would recommend this nursery 100%.

My son is now leaving nursery to attend school but he has been with Kiddies Corner since he was 2 and he loves everyone there! Every day he asks if he is going to nursery which is clear to us as parents how happy he is there. They have helped with his speech development and referred him to a speech
therapist. All the staff are so friendly and approachable, we will be sad so say goodbye!

I can't praise Kiddies Corner Day Care enough. From communication to education, they go above and beyond to make sure parents are kept up to date with the goings on. My daughter has an amazing bond with all the staff from management to key workers and the whole nursery really has a personal/family feel.
It's reassuring to know that my daughter was in safe hands and listened to when necessary. She's been helped so much over the past 2 years in preparation for starting big school in September, something I dreaded last year is now a thing of excitement for us both and the team have made sure she's more than ready to spread her wings. Daily changing activities getting the children to really engage in tasks and learn new skills like Makaton have been some of the many benefits of the nursery. My daughter started as a baby and has left a big girl. A massive thank you to all the staff, you can tell they love being around the children and push them all to their advantages to help them grow!

Kiddies Corner Day Care is an amazing nursery. All three of my boys have been here. One of which is in his last year before school. The staff are amazing and especially during the last year have made me feel completely at ease and confident sending my son in. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. My six
year old still asks if he can go back for a day. That’s how good it is.

One of the best nurseries around. My daughter has been going to Kiddies Corner Day Nursery since she was eleven months old. The staff have been amazing with her and have helped my daughter in so many ways. Communication between parent and staff has always been great. You can tell the staff love their
job and the children they look after. My daughter has a great bond with all the staff and she is very happy there. She enjoys a variety of activities, crafts and enjoys playing outside! My daughter has learnt lots since being at Kiddies Corner Day Nursery. One hundred percent recommended.

They’ve been brilliant with helping with his speech and still continued support and it’s working wonders. I wouldn’t send my son anywhere else and if in the future I have more children I will
one hundred percent be sending them here.

My son currently attends the nursery and we are more than happy with how he is getting on. My two older sons also attended this nursery and my baby daughter will also attend when I go back to work after maternity leave. My youngest son who attends now has additional needs and I can't thank all of the
staff at nursery enough for all of the support with referrals and getting him the help he needs. I recommend this place to everyone I know who are looking for a nursery. Thank you so much for everything you have done and continue to do for my children.

Best nursery ever! Both of our daughters have gone or are still going to Kiddies Corner and they absolutely love it. All of the staff, not just our daughters' Key Workers have been amazing. The manager has always been available for anything. She seriously must work 24/7! A special thank you to two members
of staff in particular (one of whom has since left) for being the best Key Workers.
Our eldest has recently left to start ‘big’ school and most of the progress she has made to become the confident little girl she is is down to their hard work, even through recent difficulties with COVID. You’ve relieved a lot of stress from parents so we thank you.
This nursery has provided a safe, fun and loving environment to our girls. It has great facilities with a lovely outdoor area. It is lovely being a part of our little ones' learning when we receive their learning journeys about what they’re currently working on and the memories of sports days and nativities will last forever.
We wouldn't go anywhere else.

I love the nursery. My older son came here to when he was little and now my younger son attends and he really enjoys it. I always trust the staff, they always let me know and call me when something happens - they really take care of your child. I will never regret bringing my child here hopefully in
just over 2 years my twins will attend here as well. I really recommend the nursery!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.599)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.599) out of 10 for Kiddies Corner Day Care 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.869 for Kiddies Corner Day Care is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.869
  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 4.73 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddies Corner Day Care is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 43 number of registered child places is 8.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.6 = 0.93
  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.
