Corner House has helped my son grow and learn so much in the last nine months, can't thank the staff in the toddler rooms enough. From thorough handovers to helping with toilet training and anything we need, it is never too much to ask for.

Corner House Nursery Lawton Road is wonderful. I know my daughter (7 months) has the best time because she is smiling when I drop her off and smiling when I pick her up. When she was settling in the staff did everything they could to settle her in and I just feel so comfortable dropping her off with
them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We are delighted to hear your daughter has settled so well and you feel supported by our lovely staff team.

Both our children attend the nursery and we have been extremely happy with all aspects of their nursery life. They have made lovely friends and really enjoy their time there. They have both been involved in exciting activities that go on throughout the year, like World Book Day and weekly projects like
learning about different countries and cultures - drawing pictures and eating their cuisine. Townhouse has been and continues to be, a wonderful place for our kids. Thank you!

Reply from Emma Mainwaring, Manager at Corner House Nursery Lawton Road

Thanks for taking the time to review the setting. It's really reassuring that you feel so happy with all aspects of nursery life.

I just wanted to say how happy and content my son Oscar has been since joining Townhouse nursery, his development is so clearly a result of spending time at the nursery. The staff at Townhouse are of the highest standard. It's so refreshing to have full transparency of his day and activities and it
feels like I have almost been there during the day, with him which is very pleasing for a Daddy!

Thanks for taking the time to review the setting and as you know we always appreciate the feedback. Really pleased that the team are held in such high regard by yourself and your family.

Our daughter had attended Townhouse since she was 9 months old and she’s loved every minute. They are a fantastic team of staff, highly professional and dedicated to the children. Each and every day there is a warm and welcoming atmosphere and that shines through with the consistent quality of care
and teaching with each age group. I would highly recommend the Alsager branch and we are extremely grateful for the start to life they have given our daughter.

Thanks so much for this lovely review, it's been an absolute pleasure to have you as a family for all this time at Townhouse. The team will be very proud when they read this review as am I. Hopefully, prospective parents will find this reassuring when considering a nursery for their child. The team love to provide high-quality learning experiences for the children at Townhouse to support their education so a big thank you for recognising this.

Townhouse is an exceptional nursery. My daughter has been at the nursery for 2 years now, starting in the baby room and has been through toddler 1 class and currently toddler 2. The staff are all amazing and go above and beyond, it feels like one big family. Whenever I have had difficult periods with
my daughter suffering from a bit of separation anxiety, the staff have taken extra steps to help us. My daughter is so excited in the mornings to go and play with her friends that it was a no brainer to put my son's name down for when I finish maternity leave. Would recommend it to anyone.

Thanks for taking the time to review the setting on here, it's a pleasure to hear how happy you are with the team. I'm sure you'll continue to have a wonderful experience with Townhouse going forward. We look forward to welcoming your second child in the coming months.

Really inclusive nursery. Went out of their way for our son with SEN, ensuring he really enjoyed his time at nursery and learned in his own way. Extremely good at helping him to integrate and make friends. The children make a wonderful relationship with each other and the staff. Thanks to the fantastic
efforts of staff at Townhouse, he's now settling well in school.

My eldest child is thoroughly enjoying Pre-school, so it was a natural choice to send my youngest to Townhouse too. He didn’t settle as well as my first, so Townhouse provided additional settling in sessions and suggested ways to ease the transition. He was soon settled and I can see that he enjoys
his time there so much. No tears when dropping him off is a real bonus. Thank you Townhouse.

I could not find any faults with Townhouse Nursery. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. My daughter settled in quite quickly, the settling in process was fantastic and I felt like the home visit really helped.
The food menus are great, my daughter gets to try foods that I wouldn’t even think
of making for her and mostly eats them.
My daughter has an excellent bond with her key worker and is very comfortable and happy with all the members of staff in her room. I am happy going to work knowing that my daughter is safe and well looked after.
My first daughter attended the same nursery and left 3/4 years ago for school, the level and standard of care are just as exceptional and I would not hesitate to recommend them to everyone I know.

Reply from Emma Mainwaring at Corner House Nursery Lawton Road

Thank you for your feedback as a long-standing family within Townhouse. It's lovely to hear the relationship with the key person is so strong, this is invaluable to ensuring children feel safe and secure in the setting when established relationships are formed. We endeavour to ensure the menus provide a variety of opportunities for children to try new foods.

We moved our Son from another nursery and just wish that he had been at Townhouse Private Day Nursery from the start of his nursery journey. He has settled in incredibly well over the past 6 weeks and that is all down to the wonderful staff in the Toddler 2 Room! His health has improved massively
since moving to Townhouse and he is so much happier in himself. The food menus are absolutely fantastic, and he ends up having second-helpings most days!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Townhouse Private Day Nursery Lawton Road and one of our friends has already been to have a look around with her little boy after hearing how wonderful we think it is!

Reply from Emma Mainwaring at Corner House Nursery Lawton Road

Hi Laura thanks for your feedback. We are all super proud of the way your son has transitioned into our Townhouse family. He is an absolute delight and we are really glad you came to visit at Christmas time and decided to book him in here. The relationships that have been built with your son with all the practitioners is very apparent. We are pleased you feel so settled as a family within the setting and look forward to many happy times ahead.

Our little boy joined Townhouse in January 2019 at 17 weeks old and has settled in superbly. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the level of care is excellent. The communication between the nursery and home is brilliant; we are regularly kept up to date with our son’s progress with respect
to the EYFS which is lovely to hear about. Our son comes home from nursery so happy and content which just shows us how much he enjoys his time at nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.078)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.078) out of 10 for Corner House Nursery Lawton Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 4.792 for Corner House Nursery Lawton Road is calculated as follows: ( (21 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.792

  • 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 3.286 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Corner House Nursery Lawton Road is based on 2 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 = 3.125

    • 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.161

  • 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.
