My daughters attended Corner House since baby room through to preschool. We have never had any issues with the nursery. At times, staff turnover has been high, but communication of this is good.
The girls loved going to nursery and always came home smiling.
Thank you.

The staff at Corner House, Audley Road, have been nothing short of amazing with my daughter. Everyone is super friendly, and the setting is incredible. I would recommend the nursery to anyone looking to place their child in an educational setting that also nurtures their personal development through
play.

A wonderful nursery! My daughter has made great connections with all the staff, they're very friendly and supportive of all your needs. My daughter is in the baby room currently, and has come on so much in the 5 months she's been there. She's learning new words and skills every week. Highly recommend!

Corner House Audley is a wonderful nursery. My toddler has attended since he was 10 months and all through the ages, the care and attention he receives is faultless. Every day he comes home telling me about something new and exciting they have learned that day. The staff provide great updates at handover
and my son talks about them when he gets home so they must be joyful to him! Would recommend it to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A truly special nursery. It’s very daunting sending your child to nursery, but Corner House Audley Road make you feel at ease and at home almost instantly. They have done so much for my child from when they started in the baby room, appreciating and understanding their personality and their likes and
dislikes. The way they have provided such a warm, loving and calming environment is a credit to the development my child has made. Recently they have transitioned to the Toddler Room, they made this process so successful with their time and dedication to my child’s needs. I’m very proud to send my child to this nursery. The staff are an absolute credit.

Review from Jessica J (Mother of Child) published on 27 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely delighted with the standard of care for my children at Corner House Nurse Audley Road, having had previous experiences elsewhere that were disappointing. The staff here are all helpful, caring and passionate about what they do, and my boys have developed great relationships with key workers.
I love that they take every opportunity to get outside in the fresh air, including regular walks in pre-school and taking the babies out in buggies to places like the train station, park and library. The food is all home-cooked on site by the experienced chef, and there is a reassuringly robust allergy policy in place. Communication is excellent, through use of an app to update parents on activities, email newsletters and daily handovers, as well as the occasional phone call to check on something if they aren’t sure. I love how this nursery welcomes parents and carers into the setting, on drop offs and pick ups, with parents’ evenings and stay-and-play sessions (some for extended family members too).

We have sent both our children to Townhouse Private Day Nursery and have felt that the care and education provided are exemplary. The environment is stimulating and nurturing. In addition, the menu is fantastic! The children experience a range of foods from different cultures as well as learning about
where food comes from, the importance of having a balanced diet and are also involved in the preparation of food to engage with children’s interest in cooking and baking. Our oldest had a dairy and egg allergy that he has since grown out of and the nursery were great at handling his allergies.
All staff are very supportive and helpful. This has been greatly appreciated as our oldest prepares to start school in September.

My daughter started preschool in April, she has not been to nursery for over a year. All the staff made the transition so easy for us.
I felt so reassured and knew my daughter would love it there (which she does).
All the staff are so friendly and helpful.
I feel my daughter has grown in confidence.
They do so many fun and wonderful activities.

We absolutely love Townhouse Private Day Nursery, they are so accommodating to all needs, staff are approachable and our girls love going. Even during lockdown, they have created some brilliant experiences for the children such as having farm animals, ice cream vans and even their own football tournament!
Always thinking outside of the box for the best experiences for the children and their families, we wouldn’t dream of sending our children anywhere else.

Our son joined the baby room at 7-months-old full time, and in the past 2+ years, he has been shown nothing but love, care, support and attention. He is developing into a caring and considerate toddler who interacts with his peers well, and I feel strongly that a lot of this is down to the wonderful
staff at this nursery. The range of activities is wonderful, and things you simply couldn’t offer yourself at home! Food is excellent with a brilliant range and variety of dishes to get young tastebuds exploring new cuisines. We have been very happy with how every child is treated as an individual, and activities and approach are tailored to what your child needs at that time. We will look back on our time at Townhouse very fondly and cannot thank all the amazing staff enough. A place where they can develop and thrive in a nurturing environment.

Many thanks from the heart for all your hard work, love, dedication, patience with her and for keeping personal belongings in order, helping with potty training, caring when she does not feel well, making every day a fun environment to go to, which is also very important.
All of your help with obtaining
an EHCP for her has not gone unnoticed. We are eternally grateful for this and understand how lucky we are to have this in place before she starts school in September.
Something else we have also appreciated is that the nursery provides updates, information and feedback on the app. We all really enjoy looking at the pictures of her day.
The chef cooks very tasty, healthy and interesting meals, which have definitely helped our little girl enjoy a wide range of foods.
The admin team are incredibly efficient and always get back to us in a timely manner.
We feel incredibly lucky to have managed to secure a place for her at Townhouse and will certainly recommend it to others.

I’ve currently got 2 children at Townhouse, both starting their time here in the baby room. Each room has a wonderful atmosphere and both of my girls have blossomed. All of the staff are great with the children and go out of their way to ensure parents are involved and part of their journey. We particularly
love the vast range of subjects each room concentrates on, from typical curriculum-based activities to celebrating Chinese New Year, creating volcanoes and making Ice cream! They ensure involvement in the community and put on some great events for all of the family to enjoy. As a parent, we also have the use of 2 apps which keep us updated on important letters/dates and another which gives us updates with photos and videos of what they’ve been up to! This really is a fantastic nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.959)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.959) out of 10 for Corner House Nursery Audley Road 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.875 for Corner House Nursery Audley Road is calculated as follows: ( (64 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.875
  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 4.084 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Corner House Nursery Audley Road is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.484
  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.
