My son is now leaving nursery to attend school but he has been with Kiddies Corner since he was 2 and he loves everyone there! Every day he asks if he is going to nursery which is clear to us as parents how happy he is there. They have helped with his speech development and referred him to a speech
therapist. All the staff are so friendly and approachable, we will be sad so say goodbye!

All 3 of my children have gone here. The best nursery by far. My niece used to go here and my nephew currently goes here. 100% recommended. Over the past 11 years, I've not once had a problem or issue.

I can't praise Kiddies Corner Day Care enough. From communication to education, they go above and beyond to make sure parents are kept up to date with the goings on. My daughter has an amazing bond with all the staff from management to key workers and the whole nursery really has a personal/family feel.
It's reassuring to know that my daughter was in safe hands and listened to when necessary. She's been helped so much over the past 2 years in preparation for starting big school in September, something I dreaded last year is now a thing of excitement for us both and the team have made sure she's more than ready to spread her wings. Daily changing activities getting the children to really engage in tasks and learn new skills like Makaton have been some of the many benefits of the nursery. My daughter started as a baby and has left a big girl. A massive thank you to all the staff, you can tell they love being around the children and push them all to their advantages to help them grow!

Kiddies Corner Day Care is an amazing nursery. All three of my boys have been here. One of which is in his last year before school. The staff are amazing and especially during the last year have made me feel completely at ease and confident sending my son in. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. My six
year old still asks if he can go back for a day. That’s how good it is.

One of the best nurseries around. My daughter has been going to Kiddies Corner Day Nursery since she was eleven months old. The staff have been amazing with her and have helped my daughter in so many ways. Communication between parent and staff has always been great. You can tell the staff love their
job and the children they look after. My daughter has a great bond with all the staff and she is very happy there. She enjoys a variety of activities, crafts and enjoys playing outside! My daughter has learnt lots since being at Kiddies Corner Day Nursery. One hundred percent recommended.

Brilliant nursery all round, my sons been going for a year and a half now and he’s come on leaps and bounds. They’ve been brilliant with helping with his speech and still continued support and it’s working wonders. I wouldn’t send my son anywhere else and if in the future I have more children I will
one hundred percent be sending them here.

My son currently attends the nursery and we are more than happy with how he is getting on. My two older sons also attended this nursery and my baby daughter will also attend when I go back to work after maternity leave. My youngest son who attends now has additional needs and I can't thank all of the
staff at nursery enough for all of the support with referrals and getting him the help he needs. I recommend this place to everyone I know who are looking for a nursery. Thank you so much for everything you have done and continue to do for my children.

Best nursery ever! Both of our daughters have gone or are still going to Kiddies Corner and they absolutely love it. All of the staff, not just our daughters' Key Workers have been amazing. The manager has always been available for anything. She seriously must work 24/7! A special thank you to two members
of staff in particular (one of whom has since left) for being the best Key Workers.
Our eldest has recently left to start ‘big’ school and most of the progress she has made to become the confident little girl she is is down to their hard work, even through recent difficulties with COVID. You’ve relieved a lot of stress from parents so we thank you.
This nursery has provided a safe, fun and loving environment to our girls. It has great facilities with a lovely outdoor area. It is lovely being a part of our little ones' learning when we receive their learning journeys about what they’re currently working on and the memories of sports days and nativities will last forever.
We wouldn't go anywhere else.

I love the nursery. My older son came here to when he was little and now my younger son attends and he really enjoys it. I always trust the staff, they always let me know and call me when something happens - they really take care of your child. I will never regret bringing my child here hopefully in
just over 2 years my twins will attend here as well. I really recommend the nursery!

Since my little one started she has progressed so much and she loves to go. I feel all the staff are professional and friendly. I was a little disappointed when they stopped the hot lunches and we had to provide a packed lunch, only because my little one seems to eat better at nursery (but I understand
why it stopped). I love that they do trips out to park and nursing homes, and I love the regular pictures they put up of the little ones playing.

I could not be happier with Kiddies Corner. My little boy is shy and really struggled at the start, but they were so kind and patient adjusting whatever they could to make him comfortable. They treat my son as an individual and the play based learning has done wonders for his confidence and school readiness.
Every member of staff is loving, kind and committed and children are treated as individuals. Choosing Kiddies Corner was a wonderful decision.

Warm, friendly staff with a huge range of fun activities to help children's development and learning. They encourage children to explore the local community with trips to local shops (eg green grocers and book shop), the park, singing with people in a care home and posting letters to name just a few.
My daughter absolutely loves nursery, her friends and the staff.

Wonderful, warm, friendly and supportive setting.
Both my children have or still attend the nursery and love it. They have made wonderful friendships and the staff are so friendly too.
They have lots of activities to choose from and have access to the garden and a covered area for wetter weather.
Opportunities to get messy and explore both inside and out.
Fantastic setting. We love Kiddies Corner.

My son goes four times a week and he loves it. There's a good outside space area which he can learn as he plays. Lots of activities from cooking, painting, story time and role playing. The staff are friendly and always available for a chat if you are worried about anything.

My son has been to a few nursery's till I found this one and he has blossomed since being there. The staff always had time to talk and listen you, help you when you have a problem with your child so we are working together for the best outcome. They help the children to make lovely cards and decorations
and the tea afternoons for mother/fathers and grandparents day. We have regular parents evening and can look through the child's book anytime.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.840)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.840) out of 10 for Kiddies Corner Day Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for Kiddies Corner Day Care is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.84 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddies Corner Day Care is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 43 number of registered child places is 8.6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.6 = 0.465

  • 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.
