Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It has been eighteen months since we put our son in this nursery. The staff are really nice and communicate frequently and effectively at every pick-up and in learning journals. There are lots of well-planned activities as well as freedom and space to allow our son to explore by himself. There is lots
of outdoor play, weekly shopping/cooking etc. are great too. My son always loves to go and he loves his wee friends there too.

Currie Children's Day Nursery has been fantastic for my daughter. The feedback that we receive is top-notch and makes us feel a part of her development even when we're not there. The garden space is particularly good with loads for the children to do. As an avid cook myself I think it's brilliant that
the kids get to do some cooking at the nursery.

We are so delighted with our experience at Currie Children's Day Nursery.
Our children are excited to attend every day. They are welcomed and cared for by friendly and supportive staff. They are provided with a wide range of engaging activities throughout the day. They are given a range of healthy
and nutritious meals to eat.
We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery for our children.

Our daughter loves this nursery, she has been there for the past two years and the staff is amazing. The setting of the nursery is great, surrounded by nature and they have a lovely garden. The activities are well thought out and stimulating for children. We have already registered her sibling and we
couldn't be happier.

My son has attended this nursery since he was 13 months old and is nearly 4. He absolutely loves everything about the nursery from the staff to the facilities and the fantastic outdoor space that he can choose to go out to at any point in the day.
The new cooking class that they offer is brilliant
and he is asking to help cook at home now too which is lovely.
They are extremely accommodating and I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone in the area.

My child loves this nursey and the environment they have created is fun and non-restrictive. They can play and explore in their own way with plenty of opportunities to join in dancing, singing, cooking and more.
The staff are friendly and caring and have good trusting relationships with my child.
The
facilities are also great with plenty of outdoor space to explore.

Always a friendly welcome from the staff at Currie Children's Day Nursery and they make sure your child is settled in and looks forward to coming each day. Enjoying being able to pick up my child from inside the nursery and see what they have been doing throughout the day.

I have associated with this nursery since 2019 and continue with my second baby too. Trust and comfort are the two words I will use for them. A nice layout helps kids for both outdoor and indoor play depending on the weather.
Well done team Currie Children's Day Nursery.

Individual staff at the nursery seem to be very kind and caring with my child. We had extreme frustration with management who were slow or nonresponsive via email. This was after they raised concerns on several occasions and caused us great concern.

Both my children have and still do attend Currie Children's Day Nursery. The staff are very welcoming and are always happy upon arrival. Learning experiences are always relevant to my daughter's age and learning, and she is always coming home happy talking about what she had done throughout her day.
I really like how the staff takes the children outdoor to explore the local community and go further afield to places such as museums, farms and town.
I feel my child is safe and cared for within the nursery which makes me comfortable when dropping off.

My 3-year-old has been at this nursery for two years and my youngest son is due to start soon.
There is a small and cosy feel to the nursery and have always felt my son has been well cared for.
There is lots of outdoor play and arts and crafts. My son absolutely loves the big garden and has made
some amazing friendships with the other kids and staff.
I recommend to anyone looking for a nursery in the area.
Reply from Lisa Wilson, Nursery Manager at Currie Children's Day Nursery
Thank you for your lovely words. We love getting the children in the outdoors environment as much as we can, whether this is the garden or exploring the community.

My child has attended the nursery since he was one. He is now in his third room there and I am really happy with how he is cared for. The staff that he has worked with have been great and seem to get to know him as an individual. He gets a variety of experiences and the sharing of these experiences
on the app helps to have discussions with him about his learning when he is at home. He enjoys looking back at the pictures that are shared as well. He loves being outside and the outdoor space has been developed a lot over the past few years. He seems to have a great time whilst there and the staff that he has worked with have shown a genuine interest in his learning and development.

My daughter has been going here since she was 9-months-old, she is almost 3 now. Her development speaks for itself. She loves her days there. The staff are all so friendly and excellent at keeping you up to date. Her little sister will start here soon too.
The children go outside every day and explore
areas in the local community. It’s great to see lots of photos of them enjoying their days.

We do love to get outside and go exploring and we are glad to hear your daughter loves her time here.

Our daughter started with the nursery at 11-months-old and has only been there since October. The team were so welcoming and the settling in was great (for us as the parents and for our daughter). Fast forward just a few months and now she even walks in herself (often open arms!) and excited to get
ready to go on a morning. She has also certainly learnt a lot. Communications from the nursery are great and it’s lovely to see what they get up to. We can easily see why she loves it so much. Can’t recommend them enough.

This nursery has been fantastic with communication and care. They share learning steps clearly and keep us up to date with our daughter’s well-being and development. We really feel like they know her and care for her. The staff have spent time building quality relationships with her so she is happy
and secure. She is often running in happy and laughing and the same when being picked up. We couldn’t ask for more!

Staff are amazing, best thing to say about the nursery is how reassuring they are and the commitment they put into each child. Excellent at responding to concerns or when just having a bad day checking in with photos etc. Approachability is a big thing when they are little right up to when they are
bigger but with speech concerns - we’ve had nothing but positivity from staff.
Love the fact the kids can go outside when they want, the doors are open even in wet weather (suitably dressed of course).

A great nursery with wonderful staff and facilities. We have a 3-year-old and 1-year-old here and know they are well looked after.
3-year-old has been there for one and a half years and loves all the outdoor play. Great to see the forest schools approach. Food also goes down well!
Would thoroughly
recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.372)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.372) 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 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 4.880 for Currie Children's Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.88
  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 4.492 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Currie Children's Day Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.592
  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.
