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 grandson attended this nursery for about 3 years until leaving for his new school. I cannot praise the staff enough. The building is purpose built which means that it is perfectly designed as a nursery. It has a wonderful garden and each room is designed for the age group of children within.
My
grandson was always happy; he had wonderfully healthy food; amazing educational opportunities and most important of all a superbly supportive environment. As a grandmother, I was made to feel welcome and I was always kept up to date with his progress. Each member of staff goes above and beyond and they form wonderful bonds with the children. The whole family will miss the nursery.

My daughter has attended this nursery since she was 6 months old and she now leaving at the end of this Month. There has never been a day that has gone by that she hasn't wanted to go in.
This to me is a testament that she feels safe, secure, happy and content. For any working parent, this eases my
mind to know that she experiences these feelings. After all their happiness in paramount and The Village promote this attitude too.
What I am constantly amazed at is all the staff know all the children's names even if they haven't looked after that child, this too adds to the 'family' feel.
Our time at The Village is drawing to a close, a time of reflection and affection and we'll remember with fondness.

My daughter has attended The Village Nursery since she was 15 months old, she has recently graduated as is starting school. The Village is a great nursery and the staff are amazing. Each key worker we had helped so much with her progression. My daughter is a funny confident little girl and I thank the
nursery for helping with that. Any problems we have had have been sorted straight away I am currently on maternity leave with my 2nd daughter and she will most definitely attend The Village.

It was extremely stressful choosing a nursery but after the initial visit at The Village Nursery I was so sure this is where I wanted my daughter to be. Management and staff are extremely friendly and charming. Each room my daughter has been in there has been a strong bond with her key workers and I
feel her development has been tailored to her needs. I love the fact the nursery is all one level and the outdoor space is great. I commend the staff with all the projects, parents events and nursery functions that are created. I think the nursery cook does a fantastic job and is innovative with different meals and it gives me a peace of mind to know that meals are prepared freshly on site on a daily basis. I feel my daughter's language skills have increased immensely and her transition out of nappies has been smooth thanks to all the staff. She doesn't stop talking about her day, the staff and her friends. I truly appreciate what the nursery has done and I wouldn't have it any different.

I had a visit to The village nursery a year and half ago for our duo. I was quite impressed with the very first visit as this nursery, as I thought, that this is the right place where my kids can get enough place to play both in-door and out-door, have on-site cooked food and be in the hands of some
caring staff. As time passed, I found the staff actually got involved in individual child care depending on the need. The staff are very friendly and they are ready to do anything for a child's development. The wide range of activities that they plan actually are amazing as sometimes they go over their daily schedule to address the needs. I have seen how my duo has grown positively in a childcare environment. Although a bit expensive but I have now developed a family bond with this nursery and I value their suggestions for my kids. I thank the Village Nursery at Trafford for taking care of my kids till now and would expect them to continue doing the same even in future.

Professional, dedicated, imaginative and caring, are just some of the words that I would use to describe the staff and management at The Village. After a disappointing start at a different nursery chain, my daughter started in the Baby Room at just 10 months old. From my very first interaction with
The Village, the Receptionist set the high service standard I had been hoping for. She demonstrated genuine empathy to my situation and promptly arranged for the Manager to contact me. I met with the Manager and Baby Room Supervisor the very next morning, who both restored my confidence in nurseries. Thankfully I was in luck and they had space for my daughter. Through genuine joy to spend time with my daughter over the last 10 months, the staff have helped her wings grow beautifully. I am confident this will continue as she moves in to the Toddler Room.
If you are looking for a childcare provider to take care of your precious child, for all the reasons above, I highly recommend The Village.

My son now 3 years old has been going to this nursery since he was 8 months old, on a full time basis. The care he has received has been first class. I was so worried about leaving him with strangers but almost instantly I realised that the staff were not strangers at all. They were more like family.
My son is excelling in many topics and is extremely clever for his age. He will be leaving for big school soon and I can honestly say I don't want him to leave. Thank you for everything you have done for my boy. I will never forget how amazing all of the staff were and I would recommend this nursery to anyone. I myself will be using them again!

My daughter has attended The Village Nursery since being 10 months old. I have been more than happy with the care she has received. Any time there has been any issues, they have been dealt with swiftly and to my satisfaction. I am currently pregnant with my second child and I will almost definitely
be sending him to The Village. Can't rate the level of care and love they have given her and I'm thrilled she has spent her nursery experience alongside such loving staff.

I highly recommend The Village Nursery. Before our sons first day, we had a home visit from a member of the management team and from his key worker. He also had 2 settling in sessions so when his first day came I felt better and more confident about leaving him.


His 2 key workers have been absolutely

brilliant. So caring, enthusiastic, reassuring and lovely. I have to say though all of the staff I have come across, have been nothing but friendly, warm and supportive.


Our son had such varied days and does some brilliant activities to support his learning and to have lots of fun.


The menu is very good and allergies are very well catered for here. The children are provided with a good variety of food and snacks.


We are emigrating to Australia soon and we feel sad that our son has to say goodbye to some lovely people who have been such a good influence on him. We hope we can find a nursery as good as The Village Nursery over there!

We chose The Village when I was 7 months pregnant to avoid disappointment and get a place! After looking at several nurseries, it had the best feeling when we walked in coupled with the great environment, outdoor space and a wonderful team.


I was apprehensive about leaving my son when I went back

to work after being with him full time for 10 months. He settled in with the team really quickly and is coming up to two years at the nursery. The transition between rooms has been seamless, so much so that it's like nothing has changed, which is very reassuring as it shows how at home he is.


The team go the extra mile making sure that home links are maintained with activities that are centred around them and the events they put on are fantastic, from pirate parties to a traditional cooking event.


We couldn't wish for more for Noah's early years education. Big thanks as always to the team. You all do an amazing job!

The village nursery provides such a stimulating and nurturing environment for my son. I can not praise them enough. As a parent I trust all the carers immensely and won't consider sending my youngest son anywhere else when I return to work from maternity leave. The activities that are organised are
creative and often tailor made to the children's specific interests. The atmosphere is lively, fun and friendly but with a clear focus on how to develop our children in the best possible way. I feel the nursery really goes the extra mile, when getting parents involved in what the children get up to when they are there. I am always particularly impressed with the events the nursery puts on outside of normal working hours.

Our son joined nursery when he was 3, entering straight into preschool. From the very first visit, it was clear that the nursery was different to others I’d visited – bright, cheerful surroundings and lovely, friendly staff who are obviously happy in their jobs and genuinely care about the children
as individuals. The preschool team have made my sons time at the nursery very happy, helping him grow from a shy little boy who barely spoke to a happy, confident and fun-loving child who – most importantly – loves being in nursery and never complains about going. This is due in no small part to their commitment to working with the family as a whole - from the first home visit at the beginning, right the way through to the lovely leavers ceremony for the children moving to school. We will be very sad to leave this summer when our son starts school, but we thank them for everything they’ve done for our son and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a nursery in the area.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We love this nursery - particularly for the one-level building and a fantastic outside space. My son loves to be outside - it's perfect for him.


He loves the food and when we pick him up, the staff tell us "he ate all" (everyday!). This is really important for us as he was born with a dairy allergy

and severe re flux, so we were worried about finding a Nursery that could accommodate giving him specialist formula (as a baby) and as he was weaning, providing a healthy and nutritious diet that took into account his allergy. We need not have worried as they were fantastic and took our concerns seriously.


The Nusery runs regular family events and activities - such as the recent 20 year anniversary Carnival party - that the whole family can enjoy.


The nursery staff are great at taking a child centred approach - observing and responding to each child's interest and individual stage of development (eg use of chopsticks after my son first ate with them on holiday).

The Village Nursery is such a lovely setting with dedicated, hardworking and professional staff. From the moment my child started Nursery he was welcomed and nurtured by loving staff who kept us updated with all his achievements and milestones. Parents and families are welcomed to join in with lots
of events throughout the year. There is a wonderful outdoor area with so many activities for children, and inside all the areas are changed frequently so there is variety to their day. Preschool children go on a trip on the bus to a museum which my son absolutely loved. My son has taken part in so many wonderful activities every day including baking, singing and construction. We have happy memories and he has made a lovely friendship through the Nursery. My son really enjoyed his time at preschool and is incredibly excited about his new adventure to school.

The Village Nursery has the perfect balance between professionalism and the personal touch. Every member of staff has been invested in my daughters development not just her key worker. They are always looking at the latest innovations and ideas in early years and again provide personal touches organising
events to assist and encourage my child's interests. They always go the extra mile and organise lots of extra events to support the children's development and include the parents in their child's journey.

The setting is really lovely, the room are clean, bright and cheerful with lots and lots of toys and activities all over the place. My little boy has been in the baby room for the past 6 months and every time I go to pick him up he is laughing and playing and having a great time! I love how much he
has learnt from the nursery and you can really see how much the staff care for them and they are all so friendly, helpful and cheerful. It really makes a difference leaving your children with such lovely, caring people.
I am always amazed at the daily menu's and how well the children eat as well. Also, the outdoor area is a lovely space and they ensure the children go outside a lot. Another real added bonus here which I haven't seen elsewhere is that there is a separate cot room which is a quiet dark room for the babies to sleep so they aren't disturbed and get a good nap. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone I know.

This is a fabulous nursery. They went over and above to make me feel better when I left my son there and returned to work. He's been there since he was 6 months old and he's now 28 months. He's been cared for, comforted, well fed and had a great time in every class he's been in. I can't thank the staff
enough for helping to become the confident, clever little man that he is. I am so proud of him and of the relationships he has built with the staff along the way. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this nursery to anyone. It's fab!

My son was 8 months old when he started at nursery and as a first time mum about to return to work I was very nervous about leaving him anywhere. The staff at the nursery were amazing and he settled in straight away. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable with lots of activities for the children.
There is a cook on site who makes a wide variety of healthy, tasty meals. The garden is huge with sandpit, mud kitchen, story corner and is simply amazing, not to mention the hobbit house at the front of the nursery, the children love it.


All the staff are fantastic, they are friendly, welcoming and helpful which gave me the reassurance that my son is in a friendly and happy environment. He has grown into a cheeky, confident, sociable little boy who loves books and singing songs. The staff all go above and beyond there role at the nursery with putting on lots of events for the children and parents during the day and weekends as well. I would definitely recommend The Village Nursery to everyone.

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.
