Our daughter started at Mulberry Corner in April 2022 and we were thoroughly supported by the staff in the baby room as she transitioned to nursery life.
The staff are wonderful, friendly and personable and seem to have a genuine interest in taking care of our little one. They create a lovely, warm
atmosphere. So much so that we barely get a backward glance when our little one is dropped off in the mornings! The communication is brilliant and staff always respond promptly to any questions we may have. All transitions to the 'older' rooms have been fully explained and our little girl barely noticed the difference such was the commitment of the staff in ensuring she was happy.
The nursery fully encourages a wide variety of play and exploration and it's a relief to see that they spend so much time outside, regardless of the weather.
Our little girl has thrived since joining the nursery and we are really happy with our decision to send her here.

Thank you so much for your kind words, it is really appreciated. I'm so glad you've had such a great experience since starting at Mulberry and that your little one is thriving so much. The staff will really appreciate your lovely words!

Since our little girl started at Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool we have watched her grow and learn so much. The staff are all so lovely and welcoming and their level of care is fantastic. When we drop our daughter off we are reassured she is in a safe and happy place. Our daughter also loves the
nursery and has built up a great rapport with the staff. Most days she runs straight in to play with her new friends without looking back! We also really appreciate the photos they put up of the activities they have done at the end of each day, it’s great to see our daughter having fun!

The staff are always very helpful and friendly. My daughter has settled in very well since starting in October 2022, she is always happy to go to nursery. The staff are good at keeping you updated and the app is such a good way for parents to be kept updated on their child's progress.
Very good communication.

Having looked at a number of nurseries in the local area Mulberry Corner stood out by a mile with its friendly feel and superb facilities. Our daughter has been attending since October and loves every minute. The team in the babies group are fabulous, they are attentive and caring and give us total
ease of her care. The app is a great platform to keep us updated and we love seeing the array of activities that our daughter takes part in along with the photos of her and her friends and milestone updates. My husband and I couldn’t recommend the team and nursery highly enough.

My daughter is very happy at the nursery. The staff in the PIPs room are very nice and welcoming and my daughter really seems to respond well to them. I think the activities at the nursery are varied, interesting and well-structured for the children. The food is really varied and my daughter eats really
well there, which we are really happy about.
The only negative comment is towards the directors. The parents tend to get charged even when the nursery needs to close for the occasional day (sickness of staff, heat, burst pipe) and we really feel that these days should get refunded to the parents. It's a really unfair clause in the contract.
Reply from Amanda Covey, Area Manager at Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool
Thank you for such a nice review about the quality of our childcare. It is great to hear how much your daughter enjoys our nursery and the wonderfully varied activities, on which our staff work so hard to deliver.
We are very conscious of the inconvenience to parents when the nursery has to close at short notice and do everything we can to avoid this. These incidences are few and far between (1.5 days in 4 years).
These have been for matters outside our control and never for reasons of staff shortages (heat wave last summer & burst pipe this winter). We make absolutely no cost savings on these days (not even food, which is pre-ordered) so are not profiting at parents' expense. Indeed, we have invested further in our nursery after each episode to prevent a recurrence, including having recently installed a modern air conditioning unit to future-proof our setting against further heat waves.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Feedback is always welcome and much appreciated.

We moved our eldest from a different nursery to Mulberry and have not looked back since! They have been great at seeing my child for who he truly is and respects his personality and wishes. We have since had my daughter join and again, we have enjoyed watching her grow in confidence and ability! An
absolutely great nursery all round!

All three of my children have attended Mulberry Corner and it has always been a lovely nursery and pre-school, with lots of great activities for the children. The staff are very attentive to the children and really get to know them well. Over the years many improvements have been made to the interior
and exterior spaces, and there is a good variety of resources to explore. We are kept up to date with photos and comments in the app, and it always looks like lots of fun! The setting has been very reliable over the pandemic and the staff have put a lot of effort into staying open and keeping the children safe. I would highly recommend the setting.

All three of my children attend Mulberry Corner in each of the different rooms. They are always raring to go to Mulberry and come back so happy with lots to talk about. The nursery staff are absolutely fantastic and my children have strong relationships with both their key person and all the staff in
their rooms. The staff and management are always more than happy to tailor anything specifically for a child eg food, activities. All the team are genuinely very approachable and happy to chat through any questions I may have from time to time. They are truly the main asset of the nursery and I feel so comfortable leaving my children in their care. We haven’t been able to go inside the nursery properly since covid as per all other nursery’s, but from what I can see at pick up and drop off and the regular updates using the app it would appear the children have a wide range of good quality equipment to explore. I would have no doubts about recommending this setting.

All of the staff at Mulberry Corner are amazing! Our daughter not only has a wonderful relationship with her key worker, but all of the teachers who are so kind, caring and encouraging. Many of the staff have been there for years which I think speaks volumes.
We don’t have any family nearby but Mulberry
Corner feels like we’re visiting family. Our little one always comes home smiling, telling us what she has done and which teachers have helped her or looked after her each day.
We couldn’t wish for a happier or safer environment for our child to learn and grow in, before she starts school in a years time.

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)

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.
I am delighted to introduce myself as the Toddletown and Mulberry Corner Nursery Area Manager. I have previously worked in another local nursery and progressed through the roles to Nursery Manager in my 13 years there.
I thoroughly enjoy what I do; meeting and welcoming new families and seeing children learn and develop through their journeys with us.
