Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is our 3rd child to attend CCN and we are so happy with the care they have all received. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcome and supported, and the settling-in process was handled so gently that our child quickly felt comfortable and secure.


The team are incredibly warm,

attentive, and genuinely care about each child. It's clear they take the time to understand every child's individual needs and interests. Our child has developed so much since starting and loves his key workers.


The activities are varied and engaging, encouraging learning through play, creativity, and social interaction. We also really appreciate the regular updates and communication on the app and at handover, which help us feel involved in our child's progress.


It gives us real peace of mind knowing our child is in such a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for excellent childcare.

My daughter has attended this nursery for nearly three years, and I couldn't be happier with our experience. From her very first day, the staff team has been consistently warm, professional, and genuinely invested in her development. I continue to be impressed by the multi-sensory play and structured
learning activities on offer.
As a parent I also feel incredibly well-supported. Their regular communication keeps me connected to her daily progress, and the parent evenings are always insightful and well-organised. It is such a comfort to leave her in a place where I know she is safe, stimulated, and truly cared for. Highly recommend!

My son started at CCN about a year ago. The experience has been wonderful, the staff are very friendly, supportive and professional. My son has wonderful relationships with the staff. He runs into nursery each morning, excited for the day ahead. The children do lots of fun activities and there is a
great garden area for them to play and explore. Highly recommend!

Our second child is currently in attendance at CCN and loves it. He waves me off when I say it's a nursery day without a backwards glance, which is a breathe of fresh air after several years of prizing off his elder sibling.

Both my children have attended CCN and have loved their time at the nursery! I never have any trouble getting them through the door, and they only ever say how much they've enjoyed their day. The staff are just fantastic and they also stay with the nursery for years, which has been so beneficial for
my kids - to see the same faces every day as they go through the nursery. Couldn't recommend CCN more highly.

I'm really pleased with the care my child has received at this nursery. From the start, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, which made settling in much easier, It's clear they take the time to understand each child's needs and personality.
The environment is clean, safe, and
well-organised, with plenty of engaging activities that support learning through play. I've noticed a big improvement in my child's confidence, social skills, and communication since attending.

The nursery have done a great job settling our twin girls. They were particularly nervous and cautious when starting but the staff have spent lots of time helping to make them feel comfortable and more confident. They do a great range of activities and change topics regularly. Lots of messy play and
opportunities to try new things. Great communication via app and helpful staff. Thank you!

As a mum it is scary leaving your child in someone else's care. But from the get go I have always felt at ease leaving my daughter at Currie nursery. The daily updates and pictures are amazing. My daughter has thrived since she started nursery, she has learned so many skills and it's amazing to see!


If

you want a family run nursery that really cares about and knows the children that attend then this is the nursery for you! Highly recommended them and so happy with our choice :)

My daughter has been at Currie Children's Nursery for almost a year now. They were so good during the settling in period reassuring both her and us. Her allergy has never been an issue with a chef on site. They spend lots of time outside and doing crafts which she loves. She is always so happy to go
to nursery and runs in with out looking back everyday!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are incredibly friendly, nurturing and gentle with the children. They have adorable little walkers, which ensure that the kids can enjoy outings safely and comfortably.
Their communication is also a strong point; the nursery uses an app to send regular updates about the day's activities,
making it easy for parents to stay informed. I truly appreciate how they listen to feedback from parents and take action to improve our experience - e.g. they recently made adjustments to provide more parking space during pick-up and drop-off, which has made a big difference.
Most importantly, my daughter always leaves the nursery with a smile, and she frequently shares how much she enjoys her time there and talks positively about the staff. It's reassuring to know that she is in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and engaging environment for their little ones!
Reply from Lisa Wilson, Nursery Manager at Currie Children's Day NurseryI will be sure to pass this on to the staff, thank you for all your kind words.

Our son has been at Currie Children's Day Nursery for 18 months and we all love it. The staff are superb and really make an effort to get to know the children even if they are in different rooms themselves. We have really been impressed with the variety of activities, they always seem to be exploring
something different. And the regularity of the outings is brilliant, he's been all over and loves getting the bus with his friends. I can't recommend Currie Children's Day Nursery highly enough.

Our daughter has been at Currie Children's Day Nursery since she was 9 months old. She is now nearly 3 and she absolutely loves coming here. We currently have her in three times a week and all of the staff work extremely hard and are just great with the kids. On top of all the hard work they do with
the children, they make the utmost effort to keep the parents up to date of the day to day via the app they use. Excellent job!

My daughter has been at Currie Children's Day Nursery since the start of term and has already been to the beach and numerous parks. She loves it there!
Great staff and she is always outside, which she loves. Her eating is good there and happily runs in each day.

Both our children are so happy and settled at Currie Children's Day Nursery. The staff go above and beyond to make sure they are safe, understood and have opportunities to thrive. Not just in the playrooms and garden but out on fantastic outings in the community where they are exposed to so many new
and exciting things with their friends. Their learning journals show so many interesting and creative tasks and activities and everything is adapted as needed to meet their unique needs. They've both come on so much in nursery and we are so glad we found it.

My son has recently started here (age 23 months at starting). He had some strong bonds at his old nursery so was a little nervous about moving him but just over a month on and he is pointing and smiling with excitement when we arrive - he even had an excited boogie on the doorstep today. He especially
likes the freedom to play in the garden here! Happy we moved him and looking forward to watching his growing bonds with staff and other children!
Reply from Hollie Ramage, Nursery Manager at Currie Children's Day NurseryWe are so glad he is settling so well and with his move down to adventurers, he will have even more chance to be outside which I already know he will love. Thank you for your review.

Both myself and my little one love the nursery! The staff are so amazing with him and they are great at updating the app so I can see what he's been up to all day. They've been amazing supporting with his toilet training, they take the children out on lots of days out and I feel 100% comfortable when
he's there. My wee one loves being outdoors and it's great that the kids are allowed out come rain or shine. Makes me sad that he doesn't ever want to leave to come home but I know he always has the best time with his friends and the staff!

My little one has recently started here, and they have settled him in so well. All the staff always seem so interested in the children’s welfare. I get continuous updates throughout the day about how he is getting on which is so nice after having him at another nursery beforehand with little communication.
He has come on so much at home since starting here, I can’t thank the girls enough for making him feel so welcome.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.825)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.825) out of 10 for Currie Children's Day Nursery 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 Currie Children's Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (191 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Currie Children's Day Nursery is based on 18 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.95
    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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
