Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I feel the nursery is well run and definitely makes the care and development of the child the top priority. I am constantly impressed by the feedback and updates I receive about my child and I find the care staff to be extremely friendly and patient. I get the feeling that top to bottom the nursery
is well organised which leads to enthusiastic and motivated staff and great care for my child.

Strawberry Hill is an absolutely amazing place for children. My daughter joined when she was 11 months old and it was almost 2 years ago. All the rooms she has been in are very well equipped, engage senses and are warm and bright. The staff is very involved, well trained and provide great care. Garden
area is really good and used almost every day. Children have yoga classes, Spanish, football classes, the nursery also organizes swimming classes at the Royal Commonwealth Pool. Meals are prepared on site, they look nice and fresh. Without hesitation I can recommend Strawberry Hill to all the families looking for the right place.

We have 18 month old twins and wanted to say that Strawberry Hill Nursery is one of the best decisions we made for them! From the moment we walked into Strawberry Hill we knew it was the right nursery - the manager is so lovely and answered all our questions before we even asked them. She made us feel
confident that our girls would be well cared for and looked after. The staff looking after them are also lovely and really care about the girls wellbeing and development. They've been moved up in 3 different rooms now and each time I worried that the new room staff wouldn't be as good as the last, but they've all been great! The girls love going there and we've seen a great improvement in a variety of aspects of their development. Thank you!

Both my children have been there since 9 months, and the eldest just about to start school. Saw 5 nurseries before selecting Strawberry Hill, and definately made the right decision. Amazing staff throughout, wonderful opportunities with many different activities, outstanding healthy meals and snacks.
Just cannot fault anything.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attended Strawberry Hill nursery (now age 7) and now my son does. After looking at several nurseries, I chose this nursery first time around as it had a friendly atmosphere, lots of good outdoor space and importantly a cook on site who prepares a great choice of food for the children.
Second time around it's great to see the same familiar faces and management team . There's always lots of activities going on for the children and the staff are extremely motivated, introducing new ideas regularly.

This is an excellent nursery. My children are educated and looked after to an extremely high level. They learn yoga and Spanish among an extensive list of other things. My children are very advanced for their age due to this nursery education. They are taught great manners and the food they are given
is healthy and exceptional. I do not believe that there is a better nursery that my children could have possibly attended. From a parental viewpoint the staff are extremely accommodating and understanding and I've enjoyed meeting all of them. This is an excellent nursery beyond any doubt.

Review from Andrea (Mother of Child) published on 23 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is an excellent nursery with wonderful staff that are great with children of all ages. When I first arrived at the nursery with my then 6-month old (premature) baby, I felt very welcomed and reassured by staff. Since then, my two sons have progressed through different rooms that provide stimulation,
learning opportunities and lots of fun for different age groups. The nursery offers additional classes such as football, yoga & Spanish that are great additions to the kids' days. The nursery cook is enthusiastic and engaged in the children's education regarding the environment. She offers children the opportunity to learn about food (through her eco garden) and also to enjoy healthy, freshly cooked meals. My older son is now in School and Strawberry Hill and its pre-school education proved to be very valuable for a successful start to P1. Son 2 will follow next year and I will be sad to say good-bye to the nursery (and the staff) that has become such a big part of our family life.

The nursery is great and all the staff are friendly and know my son well.
They have great activities for the kids while also maintaining a good routine.
They are always welcoming and the lunch is always varied and smells amazing.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.075)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.075) out of 10 for Corner House Nursery The Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 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 4.575 for Corner House Nursery The Grange is calculated as follows: ( (73 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.575
  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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Corner House Nursery The Grange is based on 10 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.5
  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.
