Mother Goose Corner Nursery really is a place where you feel like family. Since my daughter joined, the team have been nothing but supportive. Not only does my daughter have a fantastic time, but she has fun learning, and always tells us what adventures she has been on with such enthusiasm. To top it
off, the staff are amazing and always make time to talk to me about my daughter's day and how she is getting on. They have also been very supportive to us as a family in difficult times. I would not hesitate to recommend Mother Goose to other families and look forward to seeing my second daughter flourish in a wonderful environment.

I have two children at the nursery both been there since they were around 6 months old and they love it. One currently in the baby room and the other in the preschool room. The preschool room is fantastic! The staff are really friendly, well trained and know what they are doing and give great advise.
The children are always engaged when I am at the nursery and I love all the extras they do such as swimming, football, cooking club and French classes. My child loves the preschool room and the staff very much.
The Tweenie room is also great. When my oldest was in there the activities they did were brilliant and messy, exactly what my child loved. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and again give great advice and fantastic feed back at the end if the day.

Very happy with the quality of childcare our child receives. The nursery provides a broad range of activities in a home away from home environment. The staff are enthusiastic well trained and attentive. The use fo parents hub is appreciated to allow sharing of home vs nursery stimuli.

My daughter is deaf and since coming to this nursery her confidence has sky rocketed. The staff are incredible with her and us! So much so I don't want her to leave. They bake and do lots of activities with all the children including sport which in my opinion is what every nursery should do. I couldn't
fault them they are the best!

Mother Goose Corner is a fun and caring nursery that is an environment perfect for learning and development. Our son has the most amazing time when he goes during his sessions. He loves his teachers very much and we do as well. It’s very easy to approach the teachers because they are caring, experienced,
and very professional. We are very happy with the teaching he is receiving and his learning experience. His development is visible more and more every day. He comes home singing and dancing all the time, with new songs he’s learnt. He really enjoys the arts and crafts as well as messy play. We love that he is making new friends and developing relationships. The food provided is second to none. We really love that the food is prepared daily! We love seeing our son develop socially and academically. We will recommend Mother Goose Corner to any parents looking for a fun, bright, caring nursery that creates an environment perfect for learning and development.

From the beginning with a thorough tour, I knew I’d love this nursery for my daughter. My daughter loves it here, I feel completely comfortable that this is where my daughter spends 4 days out of the week. There are many aspects of why I love Mother Goose so much, the yummy food prepared fresh daily,
the swim lessons (as she is in preschool), French lessons, and just all around encouragement to get my daughter out of her shell, proves to me the hard work and dedication the staff goes through daily. We absolutely love all the girls in preschool and I can’t thank them enough for being the smiling, loving faces my daughter spends her time with.

We have been using Mother Goose for nearly 5 years now with both of our girls. They have both been looked after by the Mother Goose family from an early age (6 months) and the care has always been exemplary.
We feel like part of the family and nothing isn’t ever too much to ask of the staff and management
team. The girls have also never come home to say that they have had a bad day or done anything that they haven’t enjoyed. Also, the staff have fully supported us on potty training and dropping naps and always tried to accommodate any needs where physically possible for the girls.
We will continue to use Mother Goose for the next 2 and a half years until our youngest starts school, we will also to continue to recommend to friends and family and hope they enjoy the same experience that we have.
Thank you Team

Mother Goose Corner Nursery & Pre-School is a very well run nursery form top to bottom, we have sent both of our daughters here, so we have been coming the past 6 years. The facilities are very modern, the menus are continually refreshed and the staff are excellent.


They have a rating form Ofsted

of 'Outstanding' and I can see why, good leadership and happy staff who stay for a long time, which says it all really.

We are so happy we found this nursery! The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly and the staff are wonderful. Because this nursery is family-owned with a serious emphasis on staff training and retention, the result is consistent care from staff with years of experience and love for their career. They
really get to know your child and the parents which fosters a sense of security for the child and reassurance for us. My son loves the garden and all the staff. He was shy and clingy before starting nursery just over a year ago but has grown in confidence and enjoys attending and seeing the friends he has made. He recently moved to the pre-school and the transition was handled well so he has quickly adapted to the change. Leaving your child at nursery is so hard but seeing how much being at this nursery has benefited my son has made it much easier.

A fantastic team, they provide a great family feel to the nursery. A caring approach from all. Great setting with good provisions for all areas of learning. Staff are really the best feature for us, caring and nothing is too much to ask. Looking forward to their move to e-profiles it was the only area
I feel needed updating.

My little boy has been at Mother Goose since he was 2, he's now 4 and a half. He loves it there and has made lots of friends. All the staff are amazing and really supportive. My son had delayed speech development which I was concerned about and with the help of the staff, he got the right support and
has come on leaps and bounds! There are no longer any issues with his speech and thanks to all the hard work from the caring and committed staff, he has been signed off from the early support team. Management are very hands on and know all the children's names and always make time for parents. Just a brilliant nursery and pre-school, would recommend to everyone!

My 3-year-old son has only recently started and the girls that work at the nursery are amazing. My son has a hard time settling into new environments, but here they are making him feel so comfortable that he wants to go back. This puts my mind at ease knowing he is happy and in good hands.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.548)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.548) out of 10 for Mother Goose Corner Nursery & Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.917 for Mother Goose Corner Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 3.631 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mother Goose Corner Nursery & Pre-School is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.256

  • 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.
