Our wee girl has been going to Bright Beginnings since she was one. She settled in quickly and has never looked back. All the staff are lovely and knowledgeable. We are greeted everyday in a friendly way. Each room is designed especially for the age group it caters for.
I feel my daughter is ready
for school, thanks to all the hard work of the staff in the Butterfly room.
I can't recommend Bright Beginnings highly enough.

Bright Beginnings Stirling is a lovely nursery. Over the last 6 years we've found all the staff on all occasions interested in and caring of our children. There are several individual rooms for different age groups, which was one of the reasons we chose this nursery. Due to this, the room numbers are
not so large and it allows the staff members to get to know and understand your child, tailoring their care and activities to suit.
The indoor and outdoor environments are also very good and recently refurbished. They spend a lot of time outdoors too, which is another reason for our choice. Overall we would recommend Bright Beginnings Stirling and we will be very sad when we have to say goodbye to everyone in a year's time when last child moves up to Primary School.

Currently very happy with the standard of care my child receives, activities are varied and informative. Access to outside space and learning is very good. Communication and learning updates also good making it easier to reinforce ideas at home.

My child attends this nursery and I think it is a great nursery, I would definitely recommend it to others. The staff do a range of different activities with the children including sensory, messy play, stories/songs, outside play etc. The older children learn different topics and they always make this
fun for the children whilst teaching them about new things. I particularly like this nursery for the outside space. Each room has it's own garden and there is so much for them to do in the gardens with lots of things to see and do and great wee corners to explore and they get the children outside as much as possible which is great. All the staff are great as is the food they get provided at nursery. My child eats better lunches than me! ??

Staff are very welcoming, polite and professional.
Facilities are kept to a high stand.
The development programme and study materials the staff teach to the children help them not only develop their knowledge but also helps the children get an insight into what lies ahead in a school and high school
learning environments.
The children not only have a good nutritional balance diet throughout their attendance at the facilities but also learn about what they are eating and taking more responsibility in their eating decisions.
The staff go out their way to assist in any culture/religious requirements each child may need from specialised diets to learning and practising another language from home.

My son has been with bright beginnings since he was 8 months old. The nursery's greatest strength is the staff working there. Strong room leads who develop and nurture. The nursery engage the children in each room and keep parents involved in the activities carried out.

I have been using Bright Beginnings in Stirling for over 7 years. They are very responsive to feedback and care is individualized. The staff are all genuinely very nice and my children really enjoy the activities provided for them and the caring attitude. The outside space is great and always changing
to keep things interesting. The cook does an excellent job and lunches are always eaten by my children.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.112)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.112) out of 10 for Corner House Nursery Stirling is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 6 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 4.179 for Corner House Nursery Stirling is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.179

  • 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 3.933 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Corner House Nursery Stirling is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.333

  • 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.
