Overall Experience

My two children attend Corner House Nursery, I have no words to describe how happy we are. All the staff are very professional but also incredibly empathetic. My children simply love all the ladies, you can feel the family atmosphere, amazing. I recommend it to all parents and their children.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Thrive Leyland Meadows

Thank you for your recommendation, the team at the nursery will be delighted to hear your kind words. A family atmosphere is exactly what we wish to create so it's fab to hear that you feel that.

Overall Experience
We are so glad we found Corner House Nursery Poplars. After going back to work, I was worried sending my child to nursery but Corner House Nursery Poplars has made it so easy for myself and my husband.

All staff have been amazing and so supportive. The nursery is very clean, so many activities for all the kids. They always try to send some updates to let you know how your child is doing. My daughter has come out of her shell so much since starting nursery. It is a great nursery and I would recommend this nursery any day to anyone.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Thrive Leyland Meadows

Thank you for your recommendation it means the world to us, also very glad to hear you mention about the cleanliness of the nursery, this is extremely important and particularly for parents looking for high quality childcare, its an important consideration when choosing a nursery. Thank you again from all of us at Thrive childcare and education.

Review from Sarah W (Mother of Child) published on 10 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started in the Bumblebees room in September when I returned to work full time. Staff are caring and considerate, they provided updates every day for the first couple of weeks, showing a genuine understanding of how difficult it is to leave your baby on return to work. Her key worker is amazing and my daughter loves her to bits. She is excited to see her every day on drop off and it is such a relief to know that she is so well cared for and that she enjoys going so much. I can't imagine finding it so easy to be able to trust any other group of people so quickly with my child.

This nursery go above and beyond with my daughter. They always include her and keep me up to date with anything and everything for her. They help her capabilities and strive for her to go further in every task she does.

I'm so glad that Corner House Nursery Poplars have been such a large part of her childhood that she'll always remember.

Corner House Nursery Poplars is a fantastic nursery. The staff are fantastic and keep you informed of everything your child has been up to everyday. My child settled very quickly and is very happy. As the parent, I am very happy with my child's safety, security and development at Poplars.

Poplars is such a lovely setting with modern facilities for the children, but above that the staff are so friendly and caring. My little one loves going to nursery, and we love taking him knowing he has a fun day ahead of him.

My little boy started in the Bumblebees room this March. It took him a while to settle in but he now skips into nursery quite happily. Can't thank the team enough for making sure he's settled. Great nursery!

I can highly recommend Corner House Nursery Poplars. My daughter has attended for a few months and the staff have really taken time with her to help her settle in. They are very caring and welcoming and ensure they follow the interests of the children. Having the app is great as I’m able to communicate with the staff easily and see what fun activities the children have been doing.

My little one has experienced each room from Bumblebees, Bluebirds to Butterflies. Staff have always been very attentive, welcoming and great with communication. They always seem so happy and have lovely relationships with the children. The facilities are great, the activities are fantastic and my little one loves going which has always made leaving her that little bit easier. I always recommend this nursery to others. Well done Poplars.

My daughter absolutely loves it here! The staff are so nurturing and fulfil my daughter’s needs.

The nursery staff are exceptionally caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the well-being of the children. Their dedication shines through, creating a warm and supportive environment. My little boy is thriving at the nursery and the positive atmosphere, coupled with engaging activities like football classes and outdoor play, seems to be contributing to his happiness.

Overall Experience

We couldn’t be happier with our experience so far at Corner House Nursery Poplars! We started back in June and our daughter’s key worker completely put us at ease and we knew she’d be in safe hands! We get regular and honest updates about how her day has been and advice on what we can do at home to support her development. We genuinely feel all the staff in her room really care about our daughter and are always so kind and caring. Communication is brilliant and someone, including the nursery manager, will always get back to us quickly about any queries we have.

Overall Experience
Our daughter started at Corner House Nursery Poplarsat the end of September and we couldn’t be happier with how quickly she settled, and how happy she is coming here.
The staff are so caring, experienced, knowledgeable and loving. There are always stimulating and challenging activities set up for the children, as well as the environment itself just being so lovely, clean and inviting.

We feel 100% confident and happy sending our daughter here knowing she is well cared for, nurtured and challenged.

Review from A H (Mother of Child) published on 19 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has been attending this nursery since September 2020, and the kind and caring nature of the staff has helped his confidence and growth throughout.
Although there have been some periods of stress with the sale to another provider, I can't fault the love and care the staff have provided for my child.
His keyworker knows him so well, takes the time to learn what he loves and has even provided us with extra information and support when we have had issues outside of the setting.

These are the people who help to raise my child while I work so their commitment means everything.

Overall Experience

Corner House Nursery Poplars is a fantastic nursery. I currently have 2 children attending. They really focus on each individual child’s needs and help them reach the next stages of development while ensuring they are having fun. The staff are super friendly and the children absolutely love going. The staff also do a great handover each day so you can discuss ongoing support needs and provide consistency across the nursery and home environments.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review, it is particularly lovely to hear how wonderful the handovers are as successful communication is so important.

Review from J D (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Absolutely amazing nursery! Starting with all the staff who are very passionate and professional at their jobs with a friendly approach towards kids. All meals are healthy balanced diet. The nursery itself is very clean and well looked after.
Mostly I appreciate all the activities, my child is provided with every day e.g. through games kids learn how to count. Activities are also connected with the time of the year/ holidays.
Kids get plenty of Montessori play time with nursery toys but also with activities of the day. My personal favourite was SPA day for valentines!

I could not recommend Poplars enough, definitely the best choice for my kids.
