The staff are professional and knowledgeable whilst
His development has come on in leaps and bounds since he started at Poplars, and the activities he takes part in are structured but varied and engaging.
We cannot recommend this nursery enough, they have made what could have been a stressful and anxious time easy and enjoyable and we are so glad we chose Poplars

One of the aspects we've been most impressed with is how well the staff support children with toileting. They are incredibly patient and encouraging,
Poplars also does a great job of fostering early writing and fine motor skills. There are plenty of engaging mark-making activities using chalk, crayons, paint, and even sensory materials like sand and playdough. The staff gently encourage children to hold a pencil and to explore letters and shapes at their own pace. Activities are playful and developmentally appropriate. Best nursery ever!

Encouraging creativity and fine motor development through play is something were truly passionate about, and were so glad your child is enjoying it.Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

The Review Score of 10 (9.970) out of 10 for Corner House Nursery Poplars is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.970 for Corner House Nursery Poplars is calculated as follows: ( (418 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 431 Ratings = 4.97
b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Corner House Nursery Poplars is based on 36 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
ii) 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 36 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
