Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started here in may 2025 as one of the first children to go. He was delayed in his speech and a few other areas. Shannon and ruth had him ready for starting school in september. Iv not had great expeirence in the pass with nurserys i explained this to shannon and she reassured me this time was
gonna be different and boy did she prove it. She is by far one of the best nurserys iv delt with. She has a fantastic team to. She gave the best expeirence to my child i could ask for she still asks how my son is when i bump it to her now. I have another child i will 100% be sending here. If your unsure of what nursery to send your child then give the curiosty corner a chance im sure you and your child will fall in love with the place just like we did

I would 100% recommend The Curiosity Corner Preschool as the staff their are amazing. I have never known a setting that are so caring, positive and friendly. That will
always put the children first and go the extra mile.
My daughter has been going here since November 2025, I know I don't have to worry
about her when she is there as she loves it!
She is happy, has grown so much in confidence, learns so much and has great fun, and most importantly she can be herself.

A great and safe environment for fun activities and learning. My toddlers love going to preschool and always have so much to tell me on the way home. Their confidence has excelled and they have bonded really well with the staff and other children. Outdoor play is encouraged, as well as creativity and
reading. The staff are extremely inclusive regarding celebrating all different cultures and making the children feel like they belong. They also promote independence and encourage and facilitate toilet training. Healthy snacks available and they also promote teeth brushing after meals. Overall, brilliant preschool and very caring.
Reply from Shannon Hastings, Owner of The Curiosity Corner Preschool at The Curiosity Corner PreschoolThank you so much for this! We love celebrating different cultures! Thanks to your little ones for telling us all about Ramadan! X

Finding the right setting for your child feels like an absolute minefield sometimes but as soon as I contacted Shannon I knew I was going to like it. She was open and honest, welcoming and inclusive. Nothing was too much trouble from those early enquiries and visits to enrolling my little boy. Fast
forward to now 6 months later and Shannon and her team have accommodated relaxed drop offs for both me and my child to start the day right with no stress. Updates on activities are regular and thorough. He is always encouraged to explore, he loves the outside in particular! I know what he's doing. I know how his development is improving and I can see his friendships blooming. This doesn't just happen at any setting. It is guided and lead by someone who genuinely has the needs of the child at the forefront of what they do and love and it shows!! I would recommend (and do) the Curiosity Corner to anyone who is looking for flexible, child centred, nurturing child care.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.483)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.483) out of 10 for The Curiosity Corner Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 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 4.983 for The Curiosity Corner Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.983
  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 The Curiosity Corner Preschool is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 20 number of registered child places is 4, which has been reached with 5 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.
