My boys both go to Kids Corner my oldest has been going for over a year and still gets excited to go every day the staff are amazing and really care about the children.
My youngest started in January and he is much more of a mummy’s boy and I thought he would struggle to settle but after the first
couple of weeks he was so happy to get his bag on and run into nursery he loves all the staff he is so happy to go in and get cuddles off everyone.
Seeing my boys happy makes me happy I couldn’t ask for anything more.

I love Kids Corner Nursery. I have two girls that go here and they absolutely love it! When we originally looked around for nurseries, there were 4 that were local. I new as soon as we went to look around at Kids Corner, that it was going to be the place to send the girls. Then when we went for a 'taster'
session, my youngest at the time was quite happy to stay there.
It is exactly like a home from home setting - only with a lot more toys to play with! It is such a lovely environment.
The staff are amazing, caring and very thoughtful. They make me smile as a parent because I know that they love what they do and it shows. You can tell that they love having the children around.
The children seem to be always busy doing something and have plenty to do. Even during the school holidays, they do special trips with them which I think is great.
Also, the food smells amazing! I often wish I was staying for tea!
I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone!

My little girl started at Kids Corner after the lockdown in May 2020. I was worried she would find it hard to settle in due to being out of nursery for so long. The staff at Kids Corner were amazing and she settled in straight away. She loves going to the nursery and has a really good bond with her
key worker.
I love that she spends loads of time outside in the garden, exploring and getting muddy. She is such a happy confident toddler and I know that the experiences she has at nursery are invaluable.
The main thing that attracted me to Kids Corner was the home from home feel. The cook does an excellent job with home-cooked food (I think my daughter eats better than me!). It was also a lovely surprise when she made shortbread for the Dads on Father’s Day.
I would recommend this nursery to any of my friends. We definitely made the right decision to change to Kids Corner.

Both of my children have attended Kids Corner - my youngest attends now 4 days, the older during holiday club but previously attended before starting school.
They both love to go - they have great relationships with everyone that works there.
The activities they do are great fun, lots of imagination
and creative play.
My oldest loves the holiday club especially when they have outings to other places like the beach or National Trust Belton House.
I would highly recommend Kids Corner and have to anyone who is looking for local childcare, I especially like the small homely feel about the setting.

We have been using Kids Corner for the last 4 years and it is great to know that our children are so well looked after there. The staff really care for the children, building strong relationships and taking account of their interests. The activities set are exciting and the home-cooked meals add to
the real home-from-home feel. Both of ours have absolutely loved going and we are and always have been very happy with the provision.

My youngest attends twice a week and now she's settled she is so excited for her nursery days that she sings her room leader's name all the way there! I know she has a fabulous time and gets loads of outdoor play and home-cooked meals, even trips to the park to feed the ducks! It has a nice cross of
homely and nursery environment that is really lovely for my 16 month old. My preschooler really enjoyed going in the summer, especially when he got to help bake. Though he's in school now, he's asked to go to holiday club there in the half term.
The management and staff have been so supportive with settling in and absolutely amazing with flexibility which is essential for my job. Everyone is so lovely and friendly and I get a good daily update. I wouldn't want to change nurseries and would definitely recommend!

An excellent nursery! Both my boys have been attending the nursery for 5+ years now.
The staff are very friendly and genuinely care about the children in their care. They go that extra mile. Providing new, fun and varied learning every day. The management are very accommodating of my varied family
and work commitments and I feel very happy going to work knowing my children are in their care. During lockdown the nursery became almost an extension of our family, continuing to deliver their loving childcare and supporting myself to remain in work as a keyworker. Thank you Kids Corner keep up the great work.

My youngest daughter has been at Kids Corner for the past 2 years, it is a massive relief to myself and my husband that she is in a stimulating and exciting environment whilst we are working. She looks forward going every week and has made fantastic relationships with the staff and other children. I
feel very fortunate to have a place my child enjoys going to so much.

We have been using Kids Corner for more than 5 years from the baby room through to kids club and my boy has loved going. After school is excellent I can pick him up knowing he's had a homecooked nutritional meal, 1 less thing to worry about after busy day at work. School holidays they are always kept
busy with plenty of fun activities and days out lovely place lovely excellent staff.

The team have had and continue to care for our children over the past six years up to the present day.
Articulate,accomodating and flexible are the words that I would use to describe the care they give not just the children but us as a family and the compassion they give us is unsurpassed.
The children
are always settled and content when in their care, which helps us immensely.
In our family day to day routine and always full of stories on their return to the family unit.

My two children attend this nursery, my 3 and a half-year-old has been attending since he was 1 year old, the staff at Kids Corner are fantastic, warm and friendly, my son absolutely loves them. They keep them entertained with fantastic educational games and creative work, when we had our newest little
one there was no question of childcare so she also goes twice a week now. We class them all as family now and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I removed my son from this nursery as it has recently gone downhill. The staff turnover is huge, every week there were new faces and sometimes I felt there weren't many staff around. The owners don't communicate with parents much and they are very unprofessional. My son didn't enjoy going here anymore.
Since changing his setting he is much happier. There are far better nurseries around.

Reply from Laura Milligan, Owner/Manager at Kids Corner Day Nursery

I am sorry you feel this way in regards to our setting. I for one had not witnessed your little boy unhappy while coming in or while he shared his time in setting. Obviously there is a matter we have discussed via email which has led you to leave this unfair review.
Yes, we had a couple of staff members leave around the time you were in the setting. We do offer an apprenticeship scheme so people can gain a qualification in childcare, if they do not feel this is what they want to continue in when they've finished their apprenticeship we can not force them to stay with us. Previous to the occasional apprentice leaving we have not had a member of staff leave the setting for a substantial amount of time. We always maintain ratios. Again sorry you feel this way. Truly wish you all the best.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.104)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.104) out of 10 for Kids Corner Day Nursery 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 Kids Corner Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 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 3.104 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Corner Day Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.104

  • 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.
