I moved my child to this nursery after being unhappy with the care he was given in another setting. I am beyond happy with how things have been. He attends 2 days a week and after attending for 6 sessions he is already reaching out and smiling at staff on drop off (something that rarely occurred at the last provider). He is settled in so well and I love how it feels like a second home. The children are encouraged to play and interact with each other and it feels like a little family, so warm and welcoming. The staff are knowledgeable, approachable and caring. My son knows that he can get a cuddle if he needs it which gives him the confidence to go and play knowing he will be comforted if required (I also get peace of mind knowing his cuddlly nature is catered for). My little one is absolutely thriving here. Thank you so much corner house!

My little girl attended The Corner House from 11 months right through to August this year before she started reception this month. She was always so cared for, well supported and most importantly happy whilst attending. Communication was great and the staff always happy to have a conversation on drop off/ pick up. A proper home from home for my little one, whilst supporting her to build on the important skills needed to support with the transition to school. Couldn't recommend them enough! We will all miss everyone!

From the moment I was first shown around the Nursery to now, I have been extremely impressed by the dedication, commitment and professionalism of all the staff. staff are always super accommodating and supportive, which as a first time Mum is incredibly reassuring and is warmly greeted by whichever member of staff comes to the door. I leave both of my children in complete confidence that their needs are being met and they are safe. Developmentally wise ; I have seen great progress in terms of their social interaction confidence and physical skills. The children take part in a wide range of activities which support all areas of her development. I have also been particularly impressed at the fantastic communication by all staff. There are daily updates through the app, with photos and videos highlighting particular developments. Monthly newsletter keep parents well informed with important information and equally the staff are always happy to have a chat at drop off or pick up time.

My daughter has been at The Corner house for just over a month now and cannot sing their praises enough. I came to Corner House at a point where I was feeling extremely anxious about sending my daughter to a new nursery after being left feeling uneasy elsewhere. The manager was beyond amazing, so understanding, reassuring and accommodating. Their key working system is brilliant, my daughter has settled so well and so quick with the continuity of her amazing key worker. Who is always so welcoming and informative. I love how even when I haven't picked her up, I am still in the loop of her day with their app. Thank you for all your hard work!

The Corner House Day Nursery is a wonderful nursery - and it's all down to the staff. The wonderful team of the babies room - you can see the team loves the job and puts so much care and attention into the activities they do. The team are incredibly caring. The staff have always stood out for their wonderful bond with the children. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

The Corner House is an excellent nursery. I can’t say thank you enough to all of you. My son started going here when he was 1 year old, now he’s 3 years old. Always happy and meals are good as well. 100/100.

Corner House is a wonderful nursery. My daughter has just left to start school, and they have been amazing over the past two years. All the staff are very friendly, and they all genuinely care about all of the children and their development. Highly recommended!

Both my children currently attend Corner House Day Nursery and they absolutely love it. My son is leaving for school now and has attended since he was 1 year old. All the staff have contributed to making him school ready. Both children are so well looked after and go in with open arms on the days they attend. The facilities are all excellent, especially the well-equipped garden and well-balanced, home-cooked food. We have no hesitation in recommending Corner House and will be very sad once our children both leave for school.

Highly recommed! Had to move my little one from another local nursery who couldn’t settle her. She’s settled amazingly at Corner House. The staff in the baby room are very caring and nurturing. They have also dealt really well and been really supportive of her rare skin condition, which requires an epi-pen and makes her irritable. Huge, thank you.

My son has been attending the Cornerhouse Day Nursery for eight months. Every day he goes in and comes out smiling, demonstrates new learning, and eats everything off their varied menu. I've been so impressed by how they've really got to know him. There's a wide range of activities, and it seems like every day they incorporate interesting events and seasonal learning opportunities. The staff are fabulous and seem very passionate about their jobs. Always happy for a chat at the end of the day, and they keep in regular contact via the online log that they upload videos and reports on. I feel very fortunate to have found Cornerhouse and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a kind, caring, educational, and proactive environment for their child

My son has been attending the nursery for over six months and is always happy to go in. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The nursery is always keeping in touch with parents through the log application. I am impressed with the range of activities for the children, and they are able to use the garden regularly. My son always enjoys the meals, and going to nursery has given him the confidence to socialise with children and adults. I will definitely recommend Cornerhouse and use them in the future.

My little one came to this nursery at 10 months old when I went back to work and had his graduation yesterday as he’s off to big school in September! From being shown around initially to his settle ins where I was reassured and supported, to every step along the way for my son and us as parents, Cornerhouse Day Nursery have been outstanding. It’s been a journey and they have cared for and looked after him more than I could have wished for. Forever grateful for their part in shaping my little man for his next chapter! Thank you.

Our daughters have been going to Cornerhouse Day Nursery from 6 months old until present. I can't stress enough how fortunate we are to find this amazing group of people from the manager to the girls that take care of our daughters. All the staff are very kind, friendly, professional and excellent in communication. We are always getting information regarding our daughters' development either through the app via videos or pictures or can have a friendly chat end of the session. During Covid, the manager and staff have done the utmost to keep our daughters safe and continue with their routine programme. We are very grateful for their hard work and highly recommend the Cornerhouse Day Nursery.

My son has been going to Cornerhouse Day Nursery for 3 years since he was 4 months old. He absolutely loves going, he still gets excited to attend each morning. The girls that work there are amazing, they keep us informed about how our son is getting on and what he has been doing each day. Cannot fault the communication. They are always happy and you can see they really love their jobs, which as a parent puts me at complete ease about leaving him. I also love that we receive little daily diaries through the app and that videos and pictures get uploaded frequently for us to see. Fantastic nursery, fantastic atmosphere, fantastic staff! Will highly recommend.

Our little ones started nursery in September 2020. They both love it. The staff are very friendly and professional. I love it that we can follow what they are doing/eating/planning in the nursery. They usually upload pictures and videos of the little ones which is one of my favourite things about the application that they use.

Firstly, I am so happy to have experienced all of your attention in Cornerhouse Day Nursery. Secondly, everyone of you is so kind, smart, creative, informative and a smiling group of beautiful teachers. My little son loves to come and play with all of the children, he is waking up in the morning with a smile on his face, that makes me think all the positive things about you and your approach to children. Finally, I would recommend to bring your little angel to Cornerhouse Day Nursery. I have had a nice journey, full of fun to make our children be amongst progress, love, education and more importantly to be safe. Kinds regards to all of you.

This is a nursery with an outstanding Ofsted report, and I can confirm its performance really is outstanding. They do care about the children and their development in a caring way. A very safe and warm place. The management is very attentive and well organised. Great communication with parents. Really highly recommended!

A friend of mine recommended us this nursery, we went there and since the first day, we knew this was the best place for our son to be. Our son has been at Cornerhouse for a few months and has learned so much in such a short time, his vocabulary and development skills have improved. He is settling and adapting so well and faster than ever thought, the staff made the process of settling easer and made us feel more secure and comfortable, it was a peace of mind. The staff are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful, I can see their love and passion for what they are doing. Communication is amazing, we frequently receive videos, photos including observations, staff are very understandable and easy to talk to. The nursery is very clean and well decorated, ahh and the garden is a big bonus. The children menu is delicious and healthy, we also receive the meal menu in advance so it's good to know what they are eating during the day.

Lovely nursery, our daughter is really happy there and settled in very quickly. Staff have been fantastic. Love the EyLog - great to see what she’s been up to and love that meals are cooked freshly on site.
