Sadly my daughter has returned from nursery for the 3rd time in recent months with an injury to her face, having been struck by another child. Management haven't replied to how they will improve since the last incident and my daughter has been injured again.

We drop our grandson off at Corner House Nursery Falkirk. He is always so happy to go in and see all his friends. He is very well-occupied with indoor and outdoor space, varied activities trips out and visitors. The staff are amazing, always on top of communications with individual children. Progress
and activities are relayed to parents regularly and he speaks about the staff members like family. What a great start for him.

Couldn't recommend Corner House Falkirk enough. Staff are friendly, welcoming, and did an amazing job of settling my child into nursery and she now loves it and the staff. Thank you for all your support in the baby room, she's well prepared for her big move now. We couldn't be happier we chose Corner
House.

Corner House Nursery in Falkirk is simply brilliant.
The staff go above and beyond to make sure all the children are happy and cared for. In the morning they always greet everyone with a welcoming smile and cheery hello and are all friendly and approachable. I think the parent/staff rapport is just
as important as the kid/staff one so it's brilliant that all the staff are so friendly.
There are so many activities that the children do, and my son enjoys doing all of them. He particularly likes walks to the park and when they go to see the trains. It's so great that the nursery is able to facilitate so many opportunities for learning and development.
I have noticed my son's confidence grow greatly in his time here and love hearing his stories at the end of every day. Would definitely recommend Corner House to others.

Corner House Nursery Falkirk is a fantastic nursery. The level of care given across all rooms, from baby to preschool, is brilliant. The staff genuinely care about all the children and cannot do enough for them. They make every child feel special and focus on developing their individual needs. All staff
are keen to update on the children's days and provide full details of how they have spent their time at the end of each day. The manager is also extremely efficient at responding to any queries.
Both my children love attending and look forward to going in each day.
They are encouraged to play outdoors regularly.
There are lots of great activities set up to help develop the children, including baking, music and language lessons. The children are regularly taken on trips to the local parks, library and town centre.
I can't recommend the nursery enough, I have complete peace of mind when my children are there.

Cannot recommend this nursery enough. Staff have been so welcoming from the very first visit to view the nursery prior to enrolling my daughter. She adores all the staff and is so happy to go in and start her day. Her confidence has come on hugely and that's thanks to the team at the nursery.
Thanks.

My little girl started nursery in April 2022 and to say I was nervous would be an understatement. But I shouldn't have worried. The settling-in sessions worked brilliantly and my little girl settled really well. The staff in the baby room were amazing at putting me at ease and my little girl took to
them really quickly.
Since then, we have moved into tweenie room, and the transition was so smooth. My little girl goes in with a smile every day and that is down to the friendly staff and warm, welcoming atmosphere the nursery has.

Overall, a great place to bring your kid. The staff are lovely and always super approachable. My son speaks wonders of them.
The communication with the parents is very detailed, open and their response time is very short.
The weekly meal planning is very well-designed and informative.

I first wrote a review when my first child only attended the nursery and I genuinely didn't think the team could get any better however, they have absolutely outdone themselves with the level of care provided to my son.
My son had cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) and severe reflux as a baby which
resulted in him completely refusing to be fed by spoon and would immediately be sick if anyone tried to feed him. I worked with the team in the baby room and it is 100% down to their efforts that my little one will now use a spoon! I can even feed him if he needs a little helping hand with some meals too. The quality of care within this nursery is nothing short of exceptional.
The team always make time to talk to you, are so friendly and supportive. They genuinely care about the kids and it is so clear to see. This nursery is worth every single penny!

Amazing nursery! My child loves going there. Everyone is so caring and you can visibly see how much they like spending time with the children.
Whenever my child wants a cuddle from one of the carers, they are always there, happy to give one. They are patient and kind and loving.
They are great in
furthering the children's development making sure that every child develops at his/her own pace and never scold a child for doing something wrong but rather suggesting to the child how something can be done differently. They are very open-minded, especially in terms of bilingualism and have even asked for a list of words to learn and implement in my child's life!
We temporarily tried a nursery closer to home (as we moved 35 min away from this one) but we went back to Corner House as simply no other nursery can compete with them. This nursery is simply the best one in this area! I can not recommend it enough!

I have recently enrolled my daughter into the baby room and the enrolment and settling-in periods were so well organised. Girls in the baby room are amazing and this has allowed any fears of leaving my baby to vanish. I get regular updates throughout the day via the app and my daughter always looks
like she is having fun when any photos are posted.

My son has been going to the nursery for just over a year, and all the girls are fab! They are so kind and attentive to my son's needs. He has multiple allergies, which include the potential use of epi-pens. The girls are great at food choices for him, updating care plans as necessary and on a regular
basis and were more than happy to participate in epi-pen training, which will be arranged again once he changes rooms. My son has come on leaps and bounds since joining and will remain at the nursery for as long as possible.

My daughter has been going to this nursery for a year now and she loves it! She has made lots of friends and has fun every day she is there. She genuinely loves all the staff in her room and I feel they understand who she is as a person and what makes her tick. She often doesn't want to come home at
pick up time and runs away from so I can't get her. Knowing she is happy at nursery gives you the peace of mind you need when leaving in other people's care.

My daughter has progressed so much since she started here. I pride myself saying she goes to this nursery as I don’t have a bad word to say about it. The staff are so kind and understanding. Very approachable and what’s most important to me is they absolutely adore my daughter. The activities my daughter
learns here have made her more independent and her social skills are great. My daughter talks about them all, both other kids and staff, all the time.

My little girl has being going to Bright Beginnings for almost a year now and she absolutely loves it! The staff are all so welcoming and friendly and my daughter really adores them. There are plenty of toys and activities for the children with a fab little garden area outside. The meals are nothing

Current Review Score: 6.5 (6.477)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 6.5 (6.477) out of 10 for Corner House Nursery Falkirk is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 3.409 for Corner House Nursery Falkirk is calculated as follows: ( (10 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 22 Ratings = 3.409

  • 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 3.068 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Corner House Nursery Falkirk 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 74 number of registered child places is 14.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.068

  • 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.
