Poplars is a fantastic nursery setting. After moving our daughter from another nursery, we couldn't be happier with poplars and all of the staff. Friendly, warm and welcoming environment. Great facilities, I would recommend to anyone.

Our daughter moved from a childminder to Poplars Nursery as she really wasn't settling, and we were so worried that moving her might make things worse. Thank goodness we did! She has settled far better than we could ever have imagined, and that's all thanks to Kelly and the rest of the wonderful Bumblebee team. Every single member of staff is so kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the children. The updates we receive throughout the day are so reassuring and help us feel connected. If we ever have any questions or worries, the team always responds straight away and keeps us fully updated. Two months in, and we don't have a single regret about making the move. Our daughter is thriving - her vocabulary has trebled, and she's learning and picking up so many new things every week. We're beyond happy with Poplars and so grateful to all the fantastic staff who make it such a special place!

We initially viewed poplars for our daughter because my partner came here when he was baby / toddler. When we realised that some of the team where the same team from when he was a child attending poplars, it immediately made us feel like this nursery stood out against the rest. With a long standing team like this one it shows consistency, reliability and that it is overall a good place to work. This made us feel at ease and something we didn't really see at other nurseries. My daughter loves it here, and is invested in telling her teachers about her weekends and adventures outside of nursery which again proves an emotional and supportive bond she must feel. They communicate really well and also I love the outsourced activities they organise for the kids, and they never miss a holiday or important date. We will be definitely sending out second child here as well.

Our baby started at Poplars at 9 months old and has been there for almost three months now. From the day we had a show round when he was three weeks old to this morning when I dropped him off we have had an exceptional experience with this nursery. The staff are professional and knowledgeable whilst still being kind, compassionate and caring. Nothing is too much trouble and they are supportive with any nerves or anxiety about leaving your little one. We get regular updates and photos which we love, and our son absolutely loves going. He reaches for his key person in the morning and is developing such a lovely bond with them. His development has come on in leaps and bounds since he started at Poplars, and the activities he takes part in are structured but varied and engaging. We cannot recommend this nursery enough, they have made what could have been a stressful and anxious time easy and enjoyable and we are so glad we chose Poplars

We are very pleased with the nursery! Our child started in May and he settled down very quickly, and always happy when he sees his key person in the morning when I drop him off. Frequent updates during the day (nap time, food, nappy changes), and weekly feedbacks. We are very happy with the choice for our baby to be here!

My Daughter attends this lovely nursery , she looks forward to going to school to see her teachers and friends . The staff are lovely from the first day we went to tour the school. I feel very at ease when dropping her to school knowing she will be well taken care of and have fun and learn. Unfortunately we will be leaving soon due to personal circumstances but I know she will miss the school and I will too ! Definitely recommend this school 10/10 Thank you to the lovely ladies that took care of my little princess ALL the BEST xx

Honestly can't fault them. My first was with them from a baby and my second one is with them now. The staff are great and the facilities are excellent. They get fed some great meals too. It might be slightly more expensive than other nurseries in the area but it is worth it for the peace of mind and knowing that they are learning and having fun everyday with people who genuinely care for the kids.

We've had a wonderful experience with Corner House Poplars. The staff are warm, nurturing, and genuinely attentive to each child's individual needs. One of the aspects we've been most impressed with is how well the staff support children with toileting. They are incredibly patient and encouraging, helping to reinforce routines in a calm and positive way. Whether your child is just beginning potty training or needs a bit more reassurance, the team creates a relaxed, supportive environment. Communication with parents about progress or any accidents is always handled sensitively and professionally. Poplars also does a great job of fostering early writing and fine motor skills. There are plenty of engaging mark-making activities using chalk, crayons, paint, and even sensory materials like sand and playdough. The staff gently encourage children to hold a pencil and to explore letters and shapes at their own pace. Activities are playful and developmentally appropriate. Best nursery ever!

This is truly the best nursery in the area. The manager and the team have always gone above and beyond for my two girls (5) & (1) who attended this nursery from 8 months 7 months respectfully. There's always doubt when sending your little one into nursery for the first time but it really didn't take long for them to settle in. Even with the eldest now in school they always ask about her. What I like most about poplars is the activities that they do, especially in the older groups. Weekly they have classes including drama, football, activate with outside provider to name a few, where external people come in to teach the kids. There's also plenty of visits to the local park, even for the babies. Keep up the good work & thank you x

This is the best nursery I've been in I looked around a few and this one stood out from the rest. All the ladies where so welcoming and friendly, and the rooms all felt so clean. They always keep you updated on everything from how your child is getting on threw out the day to what they have work towards that week. Everyone is so approachable and nothing is a problem. My little boy settle so quickly here and is always so excited to see what activities and crafts they will be doing. I like how there is something new every week for the children to learn or get involved in activity wise. My little boy has come on so much since starting here. I'm so glad we choose this place we feel so at ease leaving our little boy here, can't thank them enough for all the effort and hard work they put in. I always recommend the nursery as I feel confident that every parent would love the nursery. Brilliant place can't fault anything such lovely place for your child to go.

I was really anxious about sending my son to nursery when returning to work. The staff in the Bluebirds room went above and beyond to make sure he had consistency to help him settle. They sent daily updates explaining how he was and what he was up to, showing they really understood how hard it can be. For that, I am forever grateful to them and for their continued care. He loves not only his key worker, but the other staff too.

The girls at the nursery are like family to me i will miss them all so much when my daughter starts school, my daughter gets poorly fast one second she's fine the next she's not the girls no what to do without hesitation the love they have for the kids you can see it there's no guessing if they care or not, as for the parents side of things they always ask how you are and how's life going if you need to rant off they always listen I will be forever grateful for what they do for me and my daughter

My daughter started in the Bumblebees room in September when I returned to work full time. Staff are caring and considerate, they provided updates every day for the first couple of weeks, showing a genuine understanding of how difficult it is to leave your baby on return to work. Her key worker is amazing and my daughter loves her to bits. She is excited to see her every day on drop off and it is such a relief to know that she is so well cared for and that she enjoys going so much. I can't imagine finding it so easy to be able to trust any other group of people so quickly with my child.

This nursery go above and beyond with my daughter. They always include her and keep me up to date with anything and everything for her. They help her capabilities and strive for her to go further in every task she does. I'm so glad that Corner House Nursery Poplars have been such a large part of her childhood that she'll always remember.
