We have had an extremely positive experience with Strawberry Hill Nursery, specifically the sunflower room (ages one-two) years old. The women who look after the sunflower room are amazing with our child and we couldn't be happier with the work they do. There are a few things that the main office need
to work on but that can all be worked out with a bit of attention and focus.

Strawberry Hill is the best nursery I could hope to send my little girl to. My daughter loves arriving and hates coming home (which I hope speaks to how wonderful her time at nursery is and nothing to do with my parenting skills). I trust the nursery practitioners to know absolutely what is right for
my daughter and that they are devoted to her development and wellbeing.

Would recommend this nursery, staff are great with the children and there is a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. My 2-year-old has been here for a year and loves it. He’s built good relationships with peers and staff. There has been a rapid increase in development academically and socially. Meals
and nappies are provided. Happy with our choice of nursery.

We have been very pleased with Strawberry Hill so far, having used the youngest 3 rooms with our child. The staff are friendly and caring and good at engaging with the children. The activities they plan are varied and their facilities, toys and garden are lovely. Any issues we have had have been dealt
with promptly and with care from staff and nursery manager and all are very accommodating. In a reasonably large nursery, all parents and children are recognised and greeted and it makes us feel like individuals and not just customers.

We love Strawberry Hill Nursery! Our son started to go there 4 times a week when he was 6 months old and he's loved going there ever since. The staff are beyond friendly and caring and we are confident that they nurture his development in the best way possible.

I have had the very happy children attend Strawberry Hill and we wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff are wonderful, genuinely care for the kids and take pride in their work. They are a little reticent when it comes to discipline but not to the point of being a problem and the good points outweigh this
one bad point.
Food is cooked on site and is varied. I would perhaps prefer more veg and less stodge for the babies but otherwise the food is great.
Lovely big rooms and great outside space for a city centre nursery.

We had troubles to begin with but they helped so much to get my kid settled down.
He has been there since he was one and a half year old till now, almost three years old.
He has been in two different rooms and in both of the rooms, the girls were amazing.
They've taken care of my kid so well, thanks
a lot.

Strawberry Hill Nursery has taken amazing care of my son. The staff are conscientious and very attentive. They listen to any concerns and together we have worked on various issues, such as trying to encourage my child to drink more water. My son actively looks forward to going to nursery which I hope
continues as he moves through the rooms.

Overall very satisfied with the nursery. Large variety of different activities for children, brilliant staff. Clear communication with our daughter's key worker, management and other staff members. Would like to see more occasions for children to go out and about eg. trips to the zoo, etc.

Both of my children have thrived at Strawberry Hill nursery - the caring and well engaged staff provided a range of experiences and learning opportunities for them. The well structured management team provides a strong base from which the nursery can operate. Previously my son was at a smaller nursery.
However the room and staffing structures manage to create a family atmosphere even with greater numbers. My children often "teach me" what they have learned that day at nursery which demonstrates the breadth of their day. I also like the external providers that come in like enjoy-a-ball, Spanish friends and tatty bumpkins. We can also pay extra for swimming lessons which is a great help.

I feel the nursery is well run and definitely makes the care and development of the child the top priority. I am constantly impressed by the feedback and updates I receive about my child and I find the care staff to be extremely friendly and patient. I get the feeling that top to bottom the nursery
is well organised which leads to enthusiastic and motivated staff and great care for my child.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.272)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.272) out of 10 for Corner House Nursery The Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 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 4.622 for Corner House Nursery The Grange is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.622

  • 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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Corner House Nursery The Grange is based on 13 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.65

  • 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.
