All the staff at Townhouse have been fabulous from start to finish with my boys from settling in toddler room to leaving for school this year. They have been warm, welcoming and nuturing and helped the boys grow in all areas especially as individuals which was important with them being twins. The teaching
and parental involvement has also been fantastic. Most of all the boys loved attending and are sad to have now left.

I would recommend this nursery 100%. Both my children attend, with my eldest currently in pre-school and my youngest in the baby room.
The staff are excellent and I would regard them as my children's extended family. Both my children have flourished since attending Townhouse, with the range of activities
and learning opportunities offered being outstanding.


The care and attention that the staff give to the children is excellent, and both my children are very happy, that happy that some days I struggle to convince them to come home!
The links the nursery have with the community are also excellent and my son has spent many happy days at the local train station, duck pond, and library.
The meals at the nursery are fantastic, and the wide range of foods my children have tried is great, which has certainly helped broaden their diets at home.


I really could not recommend a better nursery and I am so thankful for all they do for my children.

Our son loves coming to Town House, he knows all his room staff my name and talks about them with much enthusiasm. The personal attention and one to one attention is second to none. I am always rushed in the morning and when dropping off my son is taken in loving cuddles and distracted to the point
I now he is in safe hands and will have another fun packed day.

My son and daughter both attend Townhouse Day Nursey Audley Road. When they started, both children settled really quickly into their new setting, credit for this can only go to the staff in the toddler room, all friendly, welcoming and showing a real interest in the needs of each child. Having worked
in a nursery setting myself it is clear that all the staff enjoy watching the children develop and help in their learning by providing all sorts of interesting and engaging activities. I can not thank the toddler and pre-school staff enough for the genuine care they have given my children and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.

Townhouse is a wonderful nursery and I can say this having experienced 3 other nurseries beforehand. My son is in the toddler room and absolutely loves it. He runs in with a smile on his face which lets me know more than anything else as a parent that they are doing an excellent job. My daughter is
in the baby room and she has settled in straight away. She loves the staff and all the messy play they get up to which enables them to grow in confidence all the time. The staff, compared to my previous experiences, are a pleasure to speak to and nothing is too much trouble, even when I had to change the children's day due to a new job, they bent over backwards to fit both my children in on a new day so I wouldn't have to change nurseries again. As my children are quite close together in age, I find it hard to get in and out with both of them and every time without exception that a member of staff has seen me struggling they have helped me. The nursery has a heart to it and I'm happy both my children will grow up there.

Townhouse Audley Road is a fantastic place, I'm so glad I decided to send my son to Pre-school here. When my son started he struggled with communitcation and understanding, the staff have been amazing with him and have helped and supported us as a family. My son is now making fantastic progress and
it's all thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff.

If you want the best start for your child you can't go wrong by choosing Townhouse. We came back to the nursery when I returned to work after having our second child, our first was there 10 years ago and we didn't think twice about returning.
We can not fault the staff, they are amazing, the relationships
they build with the children are fantastic and they meet every child's individual needs.
The communication is excellent and you get a complete rundown of your child's day and how they are getting on. I know when I'm at work I have the best possible people looking after my child and I don't worry about her.

Excellent. I wouldn't want my child elsewhere, the staff are nothing short of amazing, they constantly keep parents update on there child's day and the children are genuinely happy. My child settled in straightaway and I have never felt more comfortable leaving him.

I cannot recommend Townhouse Nursery highly enough. Without exception the staff are fully engaging, cheerful, brilliant and clearly love the job they do. The home links are simply fantastic and they are generally interested in your child. My son loves going and has just started to talk which is fab
as you can talk to him about his day. Key workers are very involved in planning activities of interest and will organise large scale activities for everyone to enjoy based on information they receive from home.
The food is awesome and a huge variety of delicious home cooked meals are offered daily. It is the best feeling in the world to leave your child in a caring environment knowing that they are doing an amazing job and that in some respects there are times when they do it better than me as a mum! I feel lucky that my son is getting such a great start in life and I would wholeheartedly recommend the nursery to everyone.

Townhouse is like a home away from home. All of the staff are great. They are friendly, professional, caring and nurturing in their approach. My Children have attended both the 'Toddler' and 'Pre-school' rooms and have developed greatly by being in the setting. They have gained confidence, independence
and friendship. I would not hesitate to recommend Townhouse to any other parents.

Staff are extremely friendly, conscientious and dedicated to the development of the child in a safe and caring environment. The children are presented with a vast array of development opportunities such as painting, drawing, storytelling and role playing. Parents are encouraged to participate in the
form of reading and are regularly provided with feedback on what the child has done and how they are progressing.

Our daughter is in the baby room and we are totally happy with the care she receives! We can be at work knowing that our daughter is in the safe hands of the nursery practitioners. Everyone is really positive and caring and I describe the nursery as one big happy family. We used a childminder for our
older daughter but feel the nursery gives our younger daughter many more opportunities in terms of learning and social interaction. The learning link between home and nursery is absolutely fantastic. Our daughter is soon to go into the toddler room and we are so looking forward to her starting her next exciting adventure at Townhouse! Oh and the food is excellent too!!!!

I believe that it is very rare to find a nursery such as Townhouse. Both my children have been here and I cannot praise the staff enough. They are amazing and my children have benefited hugely from the calm, caring, engaging environment that townhouse provides. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they
are always looking for new ways to help the children learn. X

My daughter left a year ago but I am still highly recommending your nursery to friends and family. My daughter had the most fantastic opportunities and made such special relationships with the staff and children. A caring and dedicated team where nothing was too much effort. They definitely went above
and beyond and we still miss it greatly. My little girl always waves when we go past and she will have the fondest of memories for years to come. Thank you for everything you did and for preparing her so well for school life. X

From the first day I visited Townhouse I knew this was the place for my son and he would love it there. Since going to Townhouse he has developed exceptionally well, gained so much confidence with new people and interacting with other children.
All the staff are very friendly and helpful which is very
reassuring for me as a parent and its great to see all the staff have a great bond with my child which puts my mind at ease knowing my child is happy in the environment.
Townhouse is a clean, safe, caring place which I would highly recommend. The staff have great new ideas for activities for the children i.e. learning with messy play etc which my child has great fun in taking part in and the staff keep me informed of day to day activities.
There is plenty of outdoor space and facilities for my child to explore and is great to see the staff taking all the children into the community on excursions i.e. the library.
The catering is excellent. My child loves the variety of nutritious meals provided.

When we first visited Townhouse Nursery I knew that my daughter would love it here, instead of a sterile environment where children didn't play, there was everything for them to get messy with! My daughter is now coming to the end of her time at Townhouse and started in the Toddler room. I can honestly
say that I trust all of the ladies 110% to ensure that she has a fabulous learning experience. My anxiety is kept at ease as I can see what she does in the day. All of the ladies show love and affection to my child and she has a strong relationship with all of the ladies and other children. She is happy when she is there which is fantastic! Her learning and development especially her speech has come along leaps and bounds since she started. She has made a lot of close friendships with the other children and I would definitely recommend this nursery as it is homely and filled with love! It is a fantastic place! Wendy's meals are especially yummy!

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.
