As a first time mum taking my son to nursery for the first time was very scary for me and my son and the staff were absolutely brilliant they made me feel so reassured, they explain everything I needed to know, leaving him there for the time was very emotional and the staff made it so much easier for
me and my son, I know my son will thrive here.
Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Corner House Nursery Lawton RoadThank you so much for sharing this lovely review. We know how emotional those first nursery days can be, especially for first-time parents, and it means a great deal to us that our team was able to reassure and support you both. Were so pleased to hear you felt confident leaving your son with us, and were excited to watch him grow and thrive during his time here. Thank you for trusting us with something so precious.

Corner House Nursery Lawton Road is wonderful. I know my daughter (7 months) has the best time because she is smiling when I drop her off and smiling when I pick her up. When she was settling in the staff did everything they could to settle her in and I just feel so comfortable dropping her off with
them.
Reply from Jemma Binanti, Marketing Executive at Corner House Nursery Lawton RoadThank you so much for taking the time to review us. We are delighted to hear your daughter has settled so well and you feel supported by our lovely staff team.

An excellent nursery, would highly recommend sending your child here. A wide of different activities are available, which means the child will learn through lots of play. The food served is also extremely varied, letting the child experience lots of different textures and tastes.

This nursery is brilliant and my son settled instantly. They all have such a warm presence and he loves all the staff. Definitely would recommend it to everyone! Can’t thank them enough for everything they have done for us and for settling my family into Townhouse, after lockdown.
Reply from Emma Mainwaring, Manager at Corner House Nursery Lawton RoadThanks so much for taking the time to review Townhouse, we're so glad that you feel so welcomed and settled at the setting. It's really important as a parent that you notice a warm presence and friendly interactions when liaising with the staff team on a daily basis.

Both our children attend the nursery and we have been extremely happy with all aspects of their nursery life. They have made lovely friends and really enjoy their time there. They have both been involved in exciting activities that go on throughout the year, like World Book Day and weekly projects like
learning about different countries and cultures - drawing pictures and eating their cuisine. Townhouse has been and continues to be, a wonderful place for our kids. Thank you!
Reply from Emma Mainwaring, Manager at Corner House Nursery Lawton RoadThanks for taking the time to review the setting. It's really reassuring that you feel so happy with all aspects of nursery life. I'm sure any new family considering a nursery provision would find this review really valuable. The teams are really passionate about the teaching and learning they provide for the children and only want to ensure the best learning opportunities by ensuring they deliver a high-quality curriculum with varied experiences for the children to enjoy.

I just wanted to say how happy and content my son Oscar has been since joining Townhouse nursery, his development is so clearly a result of spending time at the nursery. The staff at Townhouse are of the highest standard. It's so refreshing to have full transparency of his day and activities and it
feels like I have almost been there during the day, with him which is very pleasing for a Daddy!
Reply from Emma Mainwaring, Manager at Corner House Nursery Lawton RoadThanks for taking the time to review the setting and as you know we always appreciate the feedback. Really pleased that the team are held in such high regard by yourself and your family. Communication is always an ongoing area of focus for us as a setting, so to hear that you feel you are so in touch with your child's day is wonderful to hear. Thanks for choosing Townhouse!

Our daughter had attended Townhouse since she was 9 months old and she’s loved every minute. They are a fantastic team of staff, highly professional and dedicated to the children. Each and every day there is a warm and welcoming atmosphere and that shines through with the consistent quality of care
and teaching with each age group. I would highly recommend the Alsager branch and we are extremely grateful for the start to life they have given our daughter.
Reply from Emma Mainwaring, Manager at Corner House Nursery Lawton RoadThanks so much for this lovely review, it's been an absolute pleasure to have you as a family for all this time at Townhouse. The team will be very proud when they read this review as am I. Hopefully, prospective parents will find this reassuring when considering a nursery for their child. The team love to provide high-quality learning experiences for the children at Townhouse to support their education so a big thank you for recognising this.

Townhouse is an exceptional nursery. My daughter has been at the nursery for 2 years now, starting in the baby room and has been through toddler 1 class and currently toddler 2. The staff are all amazing and go above and beyond, it feels like one big family. Whenever I have had difficult periods with
my daughter suffering from a bit of separation anxiety, the staff have taken extra steps to help us. My daughter is so excited in the mornings to go and play with her friends that it was a no brainer to put my son's name down for when I finish maternity leave. Would recommend it to anyone.
Reply from Emma Mainwaring, Manager at Corner House Nursery Lawton RoadThanks for taking the time to review the setting on here, it's a pleasure to hear how happy you are with the team. I'm sure you'll continue to have a wonderful experience with Townhouse going forward. We look forward to welcoming your second child in the coming months.

Really inclusive nursery. Went out of their way for our son with SEN, ensuring he really enjoyed his time at nursery and learned in his own way. Extremely good at helping him to integrate and make friends. The children make a wonderful relationship with each other and the staff. Thanks to the fantastic
efforts of staff at Townhouse, he's now settling well in school.

There is not a thing to fault about this nursery.
The staff are wonderful, caring, helpful, nurturing, everything you could want when leaving your child with them. The activities that they complete every day are engaging and exciting, and they have a menu that I wish I could have every day! I highly
recommend sending your child here.

My eldest child is thoroughly enjoying Pre-school, so it was a natural choice to send my youngest to Townhouse too. He didn’t settle as well as my first, so Townhouse provided additional settling in sessions and suggested ways to ease the transition. He was soon settled and I can see that he enjoys
his time there so much. No tears when dropping him off is a real bonus. Thank you Townhouse.

I could not find any faults with Townhouse Nursery. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. My daughter settled in quite quickly, the settling in process was fantastic and I felt like the home visit really helped.
The food menus are great, my daughter gets to try foods that I wouldn’t even think
of making for her and mostly eats them.
My daughter has an excellent bond with her key worker and is very comfortable and happy with all the members of staff in her room. I am happy going to work knowing that my daughter is safe and well looked after.
My first daughter attended the same nursery and left 3/4 years ago for school, the level and standard of care are just as exceptional and I would not hesitate to recommend them to everyone I know.
Reply from Emma Mainwaring at Corner House Nursery Lawton RoadThank you for your feedback as a long-standing family within Townhouse. It's lovely to hear the relationship with the key person is so strong, this is invaluable to ensuring children feel safe and secure in the setting when established relationships are formed. We endeavour to ensure the menus provide a variety of opportunities for children to try new foods.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.286)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.286) out of 10 for Corner House Nursery Lawton Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for Corner House Nursery Lawton Road is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5
  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 3.286 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Corner House Nursery Lawton Road is based on 2 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125
    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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.161
  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.
