The staff are very helpful, the management are approachable knowing all the children's names, they care about the children. My son has problems with his chest and has asthma and on one occasion he was taken to hospital, they all were concerned about him when he was rushed in, so mush so, one of the
management even visited him in hospital, bringing him books to read. The nursery is special, family run and deserve being outstanding in their recent OFSTED report. Brilliant nursery would highly recommend to anyone, well done Mother Goose Corner Nursery!!!

We have been part of the Mother Goose Corner Nursery family for over 10 years now! We couldn't be happier with the care, education and personal touch that our children receive at Mother Goose. It's almost impossible to summarise in a short space why we love this nursery so much but I think it ultimately
comes down to the staff. Without fail we are greeted with an enthusiastic smile and "Good morning". The whole team are confident, friendly and committed and genuinely care about the children as individuals. They always feedback how the day has gone and are always approachable and accommodating. They really are a home away from home and the thought that the Mother Goose chapter of our children's upbringing is almost over I find incredibly sad. I couldn't have hoped for a better setting for our children to attend. They deserve and have earned every bit of praise they receive. My oldest daughter even wants to work there when she finishes school!

Mother Goose Corner Nursery & Pre-School has been the most amazing nursery I have ever experienced. My daughter has been at this nursery since 6 months old and they not only have been an amazing support to both my daughter and I but have been such a huge and positive contribution to her growth. They
are all very understanding, friendly, welcoming and will go above and beyond to help any way they can. My daughter loves going to nursery and has learnt so much at her time there. They make every child and parent feel important and will always give their time to listen and talk about anything. Mother Goose Corner Nursery & Pre-School is absolutely wonderful!

Mother Goose Corner Nursery is a wonderful nursery offering excellent levels of care, education and service. The teams have made our daughters transition into nursery as smooth as possible and it is a joy to see her thrive in their structured yet homely environment. We couldn't be happier.

I have 2 sons at Mother Goose Corner and I am delighted with the nursery. The staff are so friendly and caring. When I come to pick my sons up the staff are always interacting with the children, unlike other nurseries I have visited where staff stand around and talk to each other. I really can't sing
the praises of both the management and room staff highly enough; they are always smiling, will go out of their way to make sure the children are happy and provide a safe and friendly environment for the children to learn in. Both my boys love the food at the nursery and enjoy the healthy, homemade variety of food. The extension to the pre-school has transformed the space and provides a light and airy area for children to learn and play.I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a loving environment for their children to learn and thrive in.

I have tears of JOY! We had to change schools for my son as the previous school was horrible. Mother Goose took my son with warm, loving, and open arms. The school change was like night and day for my son. Within the first month, I have noticed positive changes in him. He comes home singing or humming
nursery rhymes. He has a keen interest in the alphabet! As a bilingual child, he's even picking up new words and talking away! These are all things that were not happening at the previous school. My son is a picky eater and I was thrilled when I was told recently he ate his whole entire plate of fish pie! At drop-off and pick-up, my son's carers always have a smile on their faces wanting to share my son's progress and willingness to work with him and me. They have welcomed my son as family and in turn my son is happy and progressing! We are sad to leave UK in a few months, mainly because we have to leave MotherGoose.

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.
