Corner House Trafford believes in seeing children as individuals. Their ethos is to work closely with and build meaningful relationships with children and their families. Their teams work closely with the families ensuring they feel confident from the onset, starting with the very first session in their home visits to the personal visits with their Key Person.

The Key person’s role is to support the child and their family as they begin to make relationships within the setting. Information sharing is integral to ensure that staff always provide the best possible experiences for each of them.

The baby unit consists of a beautiful light open environment with immediate accesses a separate garden and baby sleep room. Above all the babies at nursery feel loved and cared for. During this important phase, babies are exploring the world with all of their senses and their whole bodies and so the activities and experiences they plan with the babies support and encourage children’s strong exploratory impulses.

The nursery is purpose-built with specifically designed outdoor areas which naturally encourage the children to independently access both the indoor and outdoor environments. Children’s development and experiences are recorded through the online software (ParentZone). Parents are encouraged to share their child’s interests directly with their Key Person, this is then planned for as part of the child's next step to further support their development.

The nursery's team of cooks work endlessly to provide well balanced nutritional meals for all of the children. Using the Eat Better Start Better guidelines the children enjoy a four weekly menu providing a wide variety of dishes.

My child has been at the nursery since January 2021 starting in the baby room and progressing to Toddler 1 room. The staff in both rooms have been brilliant, and the activities have really helped my child to learn and progress. The staff have also been really helpful in guiding us as parents as well.
Although a little more expensive than other local nurseries, I would highly recommend The Village Nursery as it is worth the money.

I am over the moon with the care and service from The Village Nursery. Both my three-year-old and one-year-old attend and we’ve had incredibly positive experiences with both children. We feel our kids have a strong relationship with their care providers in each of their rooms and are both flourishing
under their guidance. We communicate with staff before and after every session which helps us feel very supported as parents, and the general communications from the nursery as a whole are frequent and informative. The menu is definitely a big hit too!

Reply from Rebecca Moore, Operations Manager at Corner House Nursery Trafford

What a lovely review thank you for taking the time to write it, it is a joy to look after both of the children for you.

It is a multi-cultural nursery with loving and caring staff. The best thing I like as an Asian is that the nursery offered dietary options suitable for everyone and you are relaxed because your child's nutrition values are up to date. Also, I like that they celebrate different cultures which enhance
general knowledge and boost children's confidence to talk about their culture and get a sense of diversity.

Reply from Rebecca Moore, Operations Manager at Corner House Nursery Trafford

Thank you for your lovely review it is very important to us at the nursery to make sure we are educating the children on how diverse our society is and love celebrating all special occasions in a purposeful and meaningful way.

We have been using the Village Nursery in Trafford Park for a good few years now, and the kids love it and return home exhausted through the amount of activities indoor as well as outdoor. Lovely to see the daily photos of them enjoying themselves. The food must be good as they seem to eat more there
than at home, never seem to be hungry in the evening. Availability early morning/late afternoon helps us to do drops and pick-ups around our working lives along with school runs for our older children. Staff are always pleasant and the kids really do look forward to going. Well done all round.

The Village Nursery is the best nursery I have ever seen! The learning and activities they create for the children is amazing, the set up of the whole nursery is just perfect in my eyes. I would and do recommend the nursery to anyone! The staff just make the whole experience so much easier and put you
at ease knowing your children are in the best hands and they always leave so happy. I honestly couldn’t ask for anything more!
Thank you.

Both our children have attended this nursery. They have both thoroughly enjoyed the setting and are developing well. The nursery has an excellent way of transitioning children through the nursery and the level of care is outstanding. They provide a varied menu of home-cooked meals and vary the activities
and focus areas of development throughout the year. The feedback on a daily basis is very informative and they also use an online system for sharing updates on development and photos throughout the day. It is an entirely enriching experience for the children. I also like the flexibility their opening hours gives you to allow parents to work a variety of shift patterns.

Our two boys attended The Village Nursery and they both had an amazing time from the baby room all the way to preschool. The employees are amazing, they go the extra mile to make the children happy and their communication with parents is second to none. The facilities are also great, the fact that it
was a purpose-built nursery is what attracted me in the first place to register my first son and the positive feeling carried on when visiting the nursery from the size of the rooms, the lovely gardens and the friendliness of the staff and management. I also liked the fact that there was a dedicated cot room so I knew my baby would get a good nap when needed. I would definitely recommend the village nursery to anyone who is looking for a great nursery that you can trust to help raise happy and curious children and make them ready for the big step to school.

Our daughter has attended The Village Nursery for the past 3 years, and it is such a fantastic environment, filled with fun every single day and lots of opportunities for the children to learn and develop through play. It has a great spirit and caring focus, which runs through all of the rooms from
baby's right through pre-school. The management team and all of the staff have been fantastic, and it's evident every day that they care so much for the children. There's lots of fantastic space, which is clean, well maintained and regularly refreshed. The handling of the current situation has been impressive, with clear and consistently applied measures and excellent communication whenever a question is asked. She has flourished in her time at The Village and now leaves as a confident, inquisitive, considerate and life-loving girl ready for school. I can't recommend them highly enough. First-class!

I strongly recommend The Village Nursery! My son had a bad experience in his first nursery but the team had made the impossible happen and he was in love with nursery when he left. My son is bilingual so the team have developed special initiatives in order to make sure he felt at home. The staff are
really well trained and they will go the extra mile to make sure your kid is supported all the time. We have reallocated to Portugal now but my son would have stayed until primary school. The management team will also make sure they support you whatever your situation. They are a 5-star team.

Our son joined The Village Nursery at 9 months and has loved it from the start. As new parents, we received essential support and advice before our son started nursery. Two staff (one of whom would be his key worker) came to do a home visit which was a great opportunity in our own setting. The settling
in sessions at nursery were a great way to build his confidence and get him into a routine, meeting other children and doing activities. Our son loves nursery and happily gets out of the car, eager to get inside and see what's going on. He has come on so well and his confidence now with other children and adults is fantastic. The staff are brilliant - from nursery nurses to management and cannot do enough for you. Oh and the food menu is incredible. As adults, we arrive at the end of the day and look at the menu with envy.

My son started at The Village when he was one. He is now two and a half and has progressed through three different rooms. We've never had any doubt that we made the right choice for him. Every room that he's been in, he has had great relationships with the staff and they have always encouraged him to
be himself. The updates staff give about his day, along with photos of the activities he's been doing, help us to see the thought that goes into the children's learning and development. Often staff from other rooms will stop to talk to him, they will know about him and his personality, which is just lovely. It's reassuring to know that he's always got someone looking out for him. The key worker scheme is fantastic, having a point of contact for your child is brilliant, and my son has always loved every one of his key workers. My son also has a heart condition and they have always taken it very seriously, which is a huge comfort for us.

My daughter has been at the nursery for six months, in the baby room. The staff are incredible and really go above and beyond, reassuring parents and children alike. My daughter does all different kinds of activities and the staff really take the time to get to know what they like best, this was very
important to me. The food is a very high standard and they have supported my decision to baby-led wean.
The way they have transitioned my daughter to the toddler room has also been outstanding as it takes her a while to bond.
I can not recommend them highly enough!

We had our youngest at The Village Nursery when I first went back to work and since he’s chopped and changed between nurseries due to us moving job locations but when we had our second and the experiences we had faced we realised that The Village was incomparable. The kids love this nursery very much,
the staff are a credit to the nursery including top management who have been amazing for us. Both have come on leaps and bounds as just like that our son goes to primary in September and he’s so ready! Thanks to all the guys at The Village Nursery for cherishing our babies and giving them the best start in life! It’s such a big weight lifted off the shoulders of any parent when you know you get a fantastic quality of care, especially for me being able to work full time without a worry that my babies are in safe hands, educated, fed and most importantly happy, not to mention they are tired when they come home.

Excellent staff knowledge and skills in understanding my child's need. She was settled into nursery very quickly so that I could go back to work. She has learnt so much and developed into a bubbly, energetic little girl. I would highly recommend this nursery.

A truely excellent nursery. My child loves every day spent there and usually doesn't want to leave.
The variety of activities are impressive and my daughter is constantly coming home having learned new words/signs/concepts, she has made friends and has asked to see every staff member she has interacted
with.
I would (and have) recommend The Village for every parent.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.537)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.537) out of 10 for Corner House Nursery Trafford 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 15 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 4.994 for Corner House Nursery Trafford is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.994

  • 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 4.543 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Corner House Nursery Trafford is based on 15 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 138 number of registered child places is 27.6. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 27.6 = 0.543

  • 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.
