We have recieved an outstanding amount of support and I'm very happy to have my child at this nursery. He enjoys his time there and gains a lot from all the lovely activities provided. They are doing a great job at supporting his development and forming relationships. It's beautiful to see. Thank you!

Our daughter is thriving at Mulberry Corner Nursery! She has created strong friendships and developed many skills thanks to the nurturing and friendly staff. Everyday, we receive an update on how the day goes and parents can see lots of lovely photos of the activities, the children do so many different
things and the activities are very original and creative (we often get to bring home homemade food or colourful masterpieces). They meet the needs of each child specifically, for instance they try to communicate in French with our daughter who speaks French and English at home. Parents are invited to workshops throughout the year like Mother's/Father's Day teatime or Christmas crafts afternoon. It's also with great pride that we read the regular reports explaining the new skills our daughter has acquired and what are the next steps for her development and how the nursery staff encourages and supports her learning. We are very happy and pleased that our child is looked after so well!

This nursery is incredible. My little girl started in toddlers only last week but I am so amazed by how incredible and understanding all the staff are. They really have, not only made my daughter feel so welcome but us as parents too.
I look forward to my daughters journey here!

Amazing! Our daughter started when she was 2 and settled in really well. She is now in the pre-school and absolutely loves it. She is quite shy but hasn't had any problems settling or transitioning from the toddler room to pre-school. This is largely down to the excellent care and transition provided
by the staff.
The staff are so welcoming and always there to help. The nursery offers so many lovely additional extras such as inviting the parents on for events, cooking, walks to the park and visiting the local school to watch the nativity.
She eats a wide variety of food and tries so many new things that we could never get her to eat at home.
We are so happy our daughter attends this nursery and couldn't have asked for anything better. We are so grateful to all of the staff for looking after our daughter do well and with such kindness.

We send both of our sons to Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool and have always been exceptionally happy with how well looked after and cared for they are. Since each of them have started their development in all skills has excelled, as well as their confidence. Our eldest son is always asking to go
to nursery and tells us all about his friends and is so happy there. It is a spacious and clean nursery with so much outdoor space which they are out in daily which is so important to me and them. We get so many updates in the way of photos and messages about their day which is so reassuring and I have grown to trust the staff there as they have so quickly got to know our boys and their individual wants and needs, I would highly recommend.

Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool has been an amazing nursery for my two children. The staff are great at communicating on the app, adding photos and description of their daily activities everyday. Food is good, both my children eat everything they give them.
The staff all seem to really care and
their passion for working with children and their families is really clear.
The nursery provide ample opportunities for development however the amount of observations / documentation of development could be improved but I imagine this is down to time pressures. Regardless of this my children are happy and content there.

Mulberry Corner have been extremely accommodating and put me at ease when transitioning my children to a new setting. I was shown around and no questions were too much trouble. I was able to learn more about the setting via its social media and in communication with the manager and room leaders. The
team were incredibly patient with me and my children have settled brilliantly there. They love going and the team make them feel very welcome and cared for. Thank you.

Reply from Zoe Turner, Nursery Manager at Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool

Thank you for this lovely review and for taking the time to leave it. I will be sure to pass this on to the team, they will love to hear that they made the transition easy for you. We really enjoy having both of your children here and we are so glad you're having such a positive experience!

I have always been consistently impressed with Mulberry Corner. My child is really happy there and the updates and photos showing his progress and the activities that he is doing help to alleviate some of the mum guilt I feel for leaving him each day. It is very rarely myself that is able to collect
at the end of the day, but when it is, the staff in the toddler room have always been welcoming and given me an excellent run down of his day without ever making me feel rushed. I'm so happy that we chose this nursery.

We have been so happy with Mulberry Corner. Our son really enjoys being there and is really fond of everyone who looks after him. The staff know him well and respond to his individual needs. Staff always respond quickly to messages and queries and keep us updated daily on how he has been and what he
has been doing. He is always happy when we pick him up and has lots of fun doing all the activities offered. I would recommend the nursery.

Our daughter has been at Mulberry Corner for almost a year, and we have had the best experience. She has recently moved to the toddler room, and the staff have really supported her transition and kept us updated with how she has been doing. She talks so positively about the staff and has already made
lovely bonds with them in her new room. She is excited to go to nursery and excited to tell us what she has done when we pick her up. Our daughter's development has excelled since attending Mulberry Corner, and they will always update us on her development and any new skills she has learned.

We moved our daughter from her previous nursery as we were unhappy about her care, we moved her to Mulberry and are so glad we did. She has come on leaps and bounds, her communication skills in particular are fantastic since joining the nursery. She can be shy and attaches herself to adults, the staff
in the toddler room reassure her and ensure she feels safe and happy; as a mother it’s so reassuring to know she receives the same level of kindness and soothing that she does from us at home from the staff. I have recommended the nursery to anyone who has asked and will continue to do so - we have since moved our son here also. Certain staff in particular have been fantastic, as have the rest of the staff!

Wonderful nursery. My daughter has settled in so well here. The staff are lovely and so attentive and I have seen such a change in my daughter since she started at Mulberry Corner and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a nursery to send their baby to. They regularly update us with photos and
we have a live update every day which tells us when our daughter is napping, eating, nappy changed, etc.
Totally recommend this nursery!

We cannot praise the staff at Mulberry Corner enough. We recently relocated and had to change our children’s nursery, and we’re naturally anxious about the children settling into a new nursery. The staff at Mulberry were accommodating from the moment we looked around and have gone above and beyond to
ensure our children are happy and help them transition. Everyone always has a smile and clearly loves what they do. We are so happy we chose Mulberry Corner!

My son has been at Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool for 2 years and is going to school this year. Everybody is quite supportive and professional. I would say all staff members have had a great impact on my son and he loves it at the nursery. He likes all the staff very much and is very sad that he
is leaving Mulberry. He tells me that he is going to miss all staff and children and hopes to see them and play with them in the park in the future. Thanks Mulberry for making such a happy and unforgettable environment for him.

Reply from Sophie Haylock, HR Director at Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool

Thank you for your kind words. I'm so glad to hear that your child has enjoyed their time here, I know that the staff have enjoyed his company when he's been here and he has definitely stretched their minds in the word of numbers! We will miss him but we are so excited for him to start his new adventure at school! I will pass these comments on to the staff who will be thrilled at such a great review!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.893 for Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool is calculated as follows: ( (234 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.893

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
