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.

We would definitely recommend The Village Nursery, our baby started at 9 months and was always very clingy so I was worried about leaving him but he quickly formed a strong bond with his key worker and has settled in really well.
They keep him busy with lots of different activities and have improved
his eating habits by giving him lots of menu choices that I wouldn't think of at home. We viewed 4 different nurseries and are both very happy that we chose this one.

I am so thankful that we found the Village Nursery. My eldest son was there for 4yrs and my daughter will be staying for the same amount of time.
An incredible team of dedicated staff who constantly strive to improve the care and environment for the children. They are also always available to parents
for advice and support.
My son began school as an incredibly confident, happy and enthusiastic child; this is in no small part, due to his time at the nursery. They helped develop his thirst for learning and encouraged his love of stories and books. The staff are wonderful across all rooms, and our children have been blessed with some exceptional key workers. The management is incredibly supportive and approachable and the fact that they hold on to their staff shows that they know how to listen to them too. The facilities are fab and children are out in the garden whenever possible. I would happily recommend this nursery to any parent wishing to find the best for their child. Outstanding!

Fantastic knowledge of my children, their needs and their routines. Great communication between nursery and home and they build on all of the interests that my girls have at home or any interests they show whilst at the nursery. Great activities like yoga and visits to the library.

I would recommend this nursery without a shadow of a doubt, they helped me get my children in quickly when their previous nursery closed down. I have been through bad times in personal life and they have supported me on that level too, always approachable and understanding. They are fantastic with the
children, both of mine settled in quickly and love it there. Staff are always friendly, food menu is amazing and lots of activities.

Our son attended the village from 9 months old through to 3 years old and we found he received exceptional care from start to finish.
We'd have no hesitation in recommending this nursery and we have friends whose children now go there off the back of our good experience.
Our son is only leaving to
a relocation away from Manchester and we can only hope is next nursery is as good as this.
Highly recommended!

Thank you for the lovely feedback Stuart, we wish you all the best with your move and we hope your son enjoys his new nursery.

Our little boy started at The Village Nursery shortly after his 1st birthday. Having looked around several nurseries we chose The Village Nursery as we were impressed by the facilities and the happy smiling faces of the children there, who were clearly well looked after.


In the 2 and a half years

he has been there, our little boy has grown from a child who was nervous of others, into a confident, loving little boy who just loves being at nursery. His development is thanks to the staff who I cannot praise highly enough. The Village Nursery is full of amazing people who care passionately about what they do and this is clear to see in all the children. Our son has had some wonderful experiences during his time at nursery. There certainly never seems to be a dull moment at The Village Nursery!


Sadly we are leaving the area so have no choice but to leave The Village Nursery. Any future nursery will have a lot to live up to and if we could take The Village Nursery with us then we certainly would! An outstanding nursery in every way.

As much as we love the Quays, it is not a secret that the primary schools in the area are not exactly outstanding. This is why shortly after our son was born we started looking for a house in an area with better schools. In the meantime, we put the little one temporarily in The Village Nursery as this,
we found, was the best one in the area. We viewed many beautiful places, in immediate proximity to outstanding primary schools. However, the one thing we could not find was a nursery matching the Village Nursery. With having another couple of years until our son makes 4, we realised that the only option we really have is to stay in the area until he is school age and move then.
What makes The Village Nursery different is not "unique infrastructure" like mini petting zoos and such, but the people that work there - competent, qualified and genuinely caring. This has a tremendous impact on the children, who are truly happy and learn new things every day.
P.S. the menu is good too.

My daughter started at The Village Nursery when she was 9 months old. We both found settling in very hard, but the staff could not have been more caring, warm and helpful. They encouraged us to do more settling in sessions to help with the transition, and never made us feel like we were being an inconvenience
or that we should rush the process.
My daughter settled in brilliantly with the help of the staff and has since gone on to love going to nursery.
I have absolute confidence and trust in the staff who work there, and I cannot thank them enough for looking after my little girl and helping her grow and learn.
We use the Tapestry online journal, and we love seeing the photos and watching the videos of her playing through the day. She eats well there, sleeps well, and comes home happy.
I know she's had a good day and that the staff are attentive and genuinely care about the children.

Since joining The Village Nursery my daughter has developed in so many ways. She is more confident and balanced and looks forward to going to nursery every week.
Village Nursery itself is a fun and bright environment and I think it provides the background for effective learning. Staff members are
very approachable.
Village Nursery is a very caring environment, always encouraging the children to eat all their lunches. I am very pleased with my daughter's overall progress.

My son started at The Village when he was 12 months and although the settling period was extremely difficult for myself as a parent, the babies team made this whole transition so much more bearable.
The girls wholeheartedly put every effort into their care, going above and beyond any expectation.
The impression they have made is something I will never forget. My key person was amazing, meeting her at my home visit for the first time was quite nerve racking, but I knew from that moment I could put my trust in her to care for my son. Over the past 6 months I quite simply couldn't have asked for any more from her.
My son is now 18 months and moving up into toddlers, although I will very much miss my key person and the girls in babies, I already can't wait to see how he develops even further.
The entire team at The Village always go out of their way to ensure that they can do their absolute best for you.
I would absolutely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for the best!

The Village Nursery is really nice, it's very homely and all the staff are very friendly and lovely. My little girl started when she was about 8 months and I was very scared at first as you hear lots of bad things about nurseries but from day one all the staff made me feel very relaxed about leaving
her. Her key worker was absolutely fabulous and she really help me trust the nursery also what I found reassuring is that all the staff where very honest so if my little girl had a bad day they would tell me etc that really helped.
As a parent, I know not everyday will be a perfect day so being honest with a parent is one of the most assuring things you can do. The nursery really listen and understand. So for example if your trying a new sleeping pattern or potty training the staff really support you which makes it so much easier for you. I would definitely recommend this nursery. They do so many activities with them and they learn so much and make lots of friends. Such a lovely place!

Sending your baby off to the nursery can be daunting – not just for your child, but also for you as a parent. When my maternity leave came to an end, I was dreading my daughter starting nursery, but The Village helped make the transition easy for us both.


My daughter has now been at The Village for

close to a year and loves it. Her confidence has grown, and she has learnt so much. She loves her toddler room and is excited to be dropped off in the morning. It’s so lovely to pick up a happy but tired little girl at the end of the day and to hear what she’s been up to.


The staff at The Village really do go the extra mile to ensure that the children and their parents feel welcome and comfortable. As a mum, it’s so important for me to know that my daughter is not only getting the best level of care but also that she’s having fun and trusts the people looking after her.


I would certainly recommend The Village to friends looking for somewhere to send their child.

My first child joined at 6 months old over two & half years ago. Since then the whole nursery team have become such a big part of our lives. The commitment & enthusiasm throughout the entire team, from nursery manager to nursery apprentice, is so clear to see. I have really valued their focus on creativity
and imagination as well as all of the usual development milestones. Every single day has been an adventure for my son (and his little brother who joined the nursery last year), whether it be participating in a "bear hunt" roaming around the large garden or cooking up a storm in the mud (or real!) kitchen. It is clear that the management team have created an environment that encourages the team to "think outside the box" and deliver ever more engaging and exciting ways for the children to develop & grow.
As my children attend full time, the parent stay and play sessions have been so lovely to attend as it is a chance for me to really immerse myself in "their world". I just wish I could stay too!

My son attended the Village Nursery from the age of 9 months until he left to go to school. During his time at the nursery, I cannot fault the care, support and nurturing he received. The nursery made us welcome from day one with their rigorous settling in processes, the opportunities to share his experiences
through stay and play sessions and nursery events and the careful consideration for his development. My son enjoyed his time in each age appropriate room and the staff really cared both for and about him. The well-resourced rooms ensured there was plenty of things to engage him and the planned activities were tailored to suit his needs. The outdoor space is amazing and enabled him to learn and experience lots of different things such as planting and growing fruit and vegetables. I cannot recommend The Village Nursery highly enough.

My daughter has been attending The Village Nursery for more than a year now, her settling in period was handled really well, and before I know it, she was running in for some cuddles with her favourite key person. At the beginning she wasn't speaking a lot, but with the support of the practitioners
in her room and their personalised approach in planning next steps for her, she started slowly pronouncing single words, then two word phrases and now speaks freely about all topics she likes. The environments in the nursery are all very inviting and all activities I hear about, that she has taken part in are all very unique. My little girl really enjoys going to The Village Nursery and gets really excited telling me about all the different things she has learnt or explored on the day. The events and the ways the nursery involves me in my daughter's nursery life are outstanding and I really feel involved in my little girl's education.

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.
