Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Of the 3 nursery's we visited we knew straight away that this was the right one for our daughter. We could see from the initial visit that the classes are very structured when at some of the other nurseries they seemed more like organised chaos. Since our daughter has attended for pre-school sessions
we have been really impressed at the level of teaching by all the nursery staff. She talks glowingly of all her 'teachers' and amazes us with the content of her daily learning (including french and dance which our little one thoroughly enjoys). The nursery caters for outdoor play in all seasons and promotes outdoor learning at any opportunity no matter the weather. We have access to the tapestry website which shows us pictures of her day, giving us a run down of her day's activities and the staff always have time for a quick chat at collection time to update us on her progress. Highly recommend.

We have had children at this nursery for the past 5 years and in that time we have been fortunate to have the same staff looking after our children and to me, that shows what an excellent caring and loving place Poplars is. Our children have loved going and we feel very confident in the staff at Poplars.
We know our children receive the love and care and attention they need to develop and get ready for school. I cannot recommend a better nursery. The food and menu are amazing and my children love lunchtime! We have visited a few and none come close to the personal care and attention bestowed by the staff, we really feel they are a part of our family as much as the children are a part of the family at Poplars!

My son has been at Poplars for the last 2 years. During this time he has progressed in leaps and bounds! He has particularly enjoyed football with the players from PNE's Academy and also French lessons which he got a certificate, for being the best in class on that day. The nursery is like a little
school, every day prepares them for 'big school'. The teachers are all fantastic and have recently appointed a new manager who is doing a fabulous job!! Filling the previous manager's shoes was always going to be a task but she has risen to the challenge and has brought a positive future to Poplars.

Our little 2 year old has been with Poplars for over 8 months and has developed so well, emotionally, socially and in terms of overall behaviour. We returned to the area from another outstanding nursery in Morecambe, but nothing can compare to the exceptional levels of service, standards of care and
brilliance of the staff here. We will be looking to maintain our full time place with this outstanding nursery until our little girl is ready for school.

A** 100% OUTSTANDING!! My daughter has been attending Poplars Nursery Since January 2015. It was our best move I have made. Poplar's staff are so caring, approachable and most of all, their main priority is the children. I can not fault ANYTHING with the running of the nursery itself nor the staff.
My daughter loves going in the morning and hates coming home at night as she has so much fun with all her friends and teachers. They care to every need of my daughter, she has some dietary requirements at the time and the staff knew exactly what she can and can't have even without me saying so. The nursery, even looking through the door, is so warm and inviting and I would encourage anyone who is looking for a nursery in this area, to most definitely choose Poplars!! The extra curriculum activities are amazing and my daughter loves everything about this nursery day in and out. This nursery has been OUTSTANDING for at least 10 years! this has to count for something.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.968)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.968) out of 10 for Corner House Nursery Poplars 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.968 for Corner House Nursery Poplars is calculated as follows: ( (336 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 347 Ratings = 4.968

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Corner House Nursery Poplars is based on 29 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
