My son has grown in confidence since being in the preschool room. Every morning when he gets up for preschool he is so excited to go in. His key worker has supported both me and my son through the recent difficult time. (As have all the staff). She understands my son and his difficulties and supports
him throughout his day. She helps me by giving suggestions and ways I can help my son with his development. The staff gives great feedback about his day, both positive and less positive! He seems to have a strong bond with his key worker and completely trusts her. I am so grateful to all the staff

My son spent 2.5 years here before starting school and my daughter has just completed 3 years and is still there until next September. I am amazed at the consistency this nursery achieves in operating at such high standards in all aspects all year round. It is testament to the culture the senior leaders
have created, excellent recruitment of staff and the individual staff members who all care. Both children were/are very happy attending, it boosted their confidence and social behaviour, significantly contributed to their learning and development and they have fond memories of previous as well as current staff members. I also like the extracurricular activities such as attending local care homes and swimming and the individual attention they give to the children depending on their stage of development. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery - and indeed we frequently do to friends.

From day one, all Mother Goose staff has been attentive, kind, and always go above and beyond to ensure my son feels comfortable, happy, and supported.
Mother Goose created such a nurturing and safe environment that has made a huge difference in my son's development. The communication is always excellent,
and I feel completely at ease knowing that he is in such capable and caring hands.

I can’t praise Mother Goose Corner Nursery enough. The staff are just amazing and are like one big family. Our little boy has come so far under their guidance. His confidence has grown so much, it’s just amazing to see. Not to mention his speech and his knowledge of numbers and letters.
We are moving
from the area soon and I’m devastated that we’ll be leaving Mother Goose behind. But we know that our little boy will have no problems settling into his new nursery as Mother Goose has given him the confidence and social skills to fit right in.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Very good nursery. My child has been here for the last 1 and half years now. The toddler section was outstanding. Some of the staff there were just amazing.
The preschool is good but I think it's just very busy. They have recently changed a lot of staff so maybe the new staff is taking a bit of time
to settle.


But overall very good nursery and the manager is amazing as well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter, due to Covid, went to Mother Goose nursery having very little experience being around and playing with other kids. She was very shy and quiet and only watched from a distance while other kids were playing. Since she started attending nursery, with help of lovely staff, she gained courage
and become very quickly a little star dancing and singing and playing with others. It became the favourite place for my daughter, and each day, she can’t wait to see her friends there. Mother Goose staff are very professional but also very loving and personal with the kid's, which I really love. I wish they also run a school!

It is a very nice, small setting. My boy is with them for a year now, and he is very happy there, he is eager to go there.
I always get an update on how his day went and what they have been doing. The staff are great, and I am amazed how much my little one is learning there every day.

Mother Goose Nursery is an amazing nursery, and we had absolutely no hesitation in entrusting them with the day care of our second child, who has now been with them for a few months, after seeing first-hand how good they are, when they were looking after our older daughter, who was with them from the
age of 2, right until it was time for her to start school.

Both our girls have been at Mother Goose from 1 year old. Even when having a baby born in lockdown, they have managed to settle her so well and make her feel comfortable around new people. All the staff members know the children so well and have great relationships with each child. We are constantly
kept up to date with any changes, activities the children have been doing and what they have been up to on a day to day basis. The meals cooked for the children sound very nutritious and they have such a big variety of foods. We would highly recommend this nursery.

My older daughter used to go to Mother Goose Corner Nursery and we were very happy with all the place and staff. So when it was time for my younger daughter to start nursery, I haven’t looked anywhere else. Mother Goose was our nursery! I think that says it all.

Kind and caring staff who our 16 month old loves, no tears when going to spend the day with them. They have lots of time to feedback information to us about how her day has been.
Also our daughter has food allergies and they have listened and done all they can to accommodate her needs.
Also have been
super willing to use her cloth nappies in setting which has been great as it’s something we feel very passionately about.
It’s great to hand her over to people we know who care for her almost as much as we do. It makes it all so much easier for us.
Thank you.

I decided in December 2021 to let my little girl start nursery. I have never put one of my children in nursery at such a young age but due to lockdown, I felt she really needed it. She became a very shy little girl who didn't like anyone apart from her immediate family speaking to her. I could not have
chose a better nursery. The staff are all so lovely and my little girl loves them all. I feel happy leaving her knowing how well she is looked after and the food all sounds amazing. I like they get to play outside a lot and all the different activities are great. I would 100% recommend this nursery.

Both my boys have attended Mother Goose. My eldest is now at school and still talks about his time here, the friends he made, the staff he misses and the things he did. My youngest is currently in the tweenies room and always comes home with a smile on his face. I couldn’t have asked for a better nursery.
They always give great feedback at the end of the day and update photos on the app regularly so you can see what the children have been up to. Best nursery in Cambridgeshire!

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.548)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.548) out of 10 for Mother Goose Corner Nursery & Pre-School 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.917 for Mother Goose Corner Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.917
  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 3.631 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mother Goose Corner Nursery & Pre-School is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.256
  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.
