Overall a good nursery, it's obvious that the staff cares very much about the wellness of the children and their development. They even have a chef now onsite for healthy and balanced menus!
Any issue raised have been dealt with management very promptly and sorted out with follow up actions.

The new management team have been fantastic, but all staff across the board are great with the kids - there's a community feel to the place which we love, excellent
gardens for each age group, and opportunities for extra curricular classes my son loves.
Staff know all the kids, regardless of which room they're in, which I think is especially lovely, & are great at giving interesting and detailed hand overs come the end of the day.
Food always sounds delicious, and the menus are varied and healthy.
100% would recommend!

She receives a great variety of food and I think eats better than at home sometimes(!) as she's surrounded and encouraged by other little ones eating. The nursery encourages learning, development and independence like drinking from a cup (rather
than a sippy cup), washing hands before meals and taking off her own shoes. We get regular posts on the app including pictures of her learning e.g. being given flash cards of animals or fruits and encouraged to name them. She's made great relationships at nursery with the staff and other children and regularly talks about them.
A big Thanks to all the staff!

I can't say enough good things about this nursery! The staff are absolutely wonderful - so caring, attentive, and always go above and beyond to make sure the girls are happy and well taken care of. It's clear that they truly love what they do, and it shows in how they interact with the children. My
girls have loved being there every single day, and I feel completely confident that they're in great hands. The team is not only helpful but also super supportive, always ready to answer any questions and provide updates. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a nurturing and safe environment for their little ones.

Corner house Gillsland is a great nursery. All the staff are fantastic with the children. I love that the staff across all rooms know all the children's names, there is a feeling that all staff are very invested in the children and their learning. It's a very friendly and welcoming environment. My daughter
loves her nursery days and is always very content with going in to nursery and talks about nursery a lot when at home.
The management team are great, very hands on, continually looking at and improving areas of the nursery and great at keeping parents informed with what's going on.

My daughter is very happy and settled at Corner House Nursery Gillsland. She is currently in the preschool room and has attended since she was 1 year old. All staff are extremely friendly and all know my daughter by name (even those who don't work directly with her). The well-being of the children is
a top priority. Communication is overall very good. The staff create engaging learning experiences for the children and provides opportunities to go on regular outings. External agencies come in for optional sessions (football, music class). Recent upgrades to the gardens have been extremely positive. The preschool garden in particular is a lovely place to play. Highly recommend this nursery.

The staff members are all warm, welcoming, loving individuals and every single one, from the housekeepers to the cook, are fantastic with the children.
Day to day, the kids
do loads of activities - arts, crafts and messy play - and the staff have started doing lots more learning activities recently.
The nursery itself is very clean and a lot of effort has been put into sprucing the place up. The outside areas have been greatly improved recently as have the indoor displays and it's now a really welcoming environment. Some bits are still a little rough around the edges and need a kick of paint, but nothing major.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to friends and family!

My child has been attending Corner House Nursery Gillsland for 5 months and I am very pleased with our experience so far. Staff were very caring and kind as they helped my baby settle in and they have developed good bonds with him as a result. Activities offered are varied, fun and educational. I love
that my baby gets to try so many new things there. The management team is also working hard to keep improving the nursery and it shows. It's such a friendly and welcoming place. Efforts to involve parents are really welcomed.

Both my children have attended Corner House Gillsland in all 3 rooms - Investigators room (babies), Explorers room (toddlers) and Innovators room (pre-schoolers). I can only say great things about them, from the range of activities they have going on with the children which is impressive, to the kindness
of every single person of staff and the amazing facilities including an immense garden with separate areas for the younger and older children. We are absolutely delighted with the nursery and would not change it for nothing. My children have created special bonds with the teachers and with other children and are so happy there. Thank you Corner House Gillsland Team for making my babies so happy.

All staff from baby room, toddler room, office to kitchen staff are very welcoming, always put on a happy face and are genuinely interested in you as a parent as well as the well-being of your child! It is such a comfort to have my only (very spoilt) little boy in this nursery as I know he is cared
for and nurtured to the high standards I require. The facilities are ever changing, meals nutritious, outings regular and faces always smiling.

My son has attended this nursery for just over a year and has recently moved into the toddler room. He loves nursery, loves the staff and talks about nursery a lot when we're home. Despite only attending one day a week, he settled so quickly into the baby room and now the toddler room - which is a real
testament to the staff and the environment they provide. The management team are very friendly and the communication from them about the nursery is brilliant. The staff on the nursery floor are very nurturing and clearly have a wealth of experience and knowledge - they know my son well and really look to support his development and his interests. The handover is thorough and I'm always impressed by the range of experiences and play opportunities. The nursery is clean, the resources are good quality and there's a great range of food provided.

My son attends the nursery since he turned 2 years old. He is about to be four soon and goes full-time. All the staff of the nursery are very sweet and affectionate with the kids. They all know the name of my son since the beginning, so are like a big family. They have very nice outdoor playground areas
and my son loves the activities they do. The food is quite healthy too. Plenty of fruits and vegetables. They teach the kids good manners and hygiene habits. The manager leads the team in a way that it seems that all the teachers go happy to work and everyone is motivated which makes a lovely environment to bring your child to. The nursery offers extra activities such as football and music that are enriching for the kids. The staff work promoting equality among kids and is welcoming to diversity and different cultures. Very Scottish and at the same time very international. I cannot thank them enough to make my son happy.
