The staff are incredibly friendly, nurturing and gentle with the children. They have adorable little walkers, which ensure that the kids can enjoy outings safely and comfortably.
Their communication is also a strong point; the nursery uses an app to send regular updates about the day's activities,
making it easy for parents to stay informed. I truly appreciate how they listen to feedback from parents and take action to improve our experience - e.g. they recently made adjustments to provide more parking space during pick-up and drop-off, which has made a big difference.
Most importantly, my daughter always leaves the nursery with a smile, and she frequently shares how much she enjoys her time there and talks positively about the staff. It's reassuring to know that she is in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a supportive and engaging environment for their little ones!

I will be sure to pass this on to the staff, thank you for all your kind words.

Our son has been at Currie Children's Day Nursery for 18 months and we all love it. The staff are superb and really make an effort to get to know the children even if they are in different rooms themselves. We have really been impressed with the variety of activities, they always seem to be exploring
something different. And the regularity of the outings is brilliant, he's been all over and loves getting the bus with his friends. I can't recommend Currie Children's Day Nursery highly enough.

Our daughter has been at Currie Children's Day Nursery since she was 9 months old. She is now nearly 3 and she absolutely loves coming here. We currently have her in three times a week and all of the staff work extremely hard and are just great with the kids. On top of all the hard work they do with
the children, they make the utmost effort to keep the parents up to date of the day to day via the app they use. Excellent job!

My daughter has been at Currie Children's Day Nursery since the start of term and has already been to the beach and numerous parks. She loves it there!
Great staff and she is always outside, which she loves. Her eating is good there and happily runs in each day.

Both our children are so happy and settled at Currie Children's Day Nursery. The staff go above and beyond to make sure they are safe, understood and have opportunities to thrive. Not just in the playrooms and garden but out on fantastic outings in the community where they are exposed to so many new
and exciting things with their friends. Their learning journals show so many interesting and creative tasks and activities and everything is adapted as needed to meet their unique needs. They've both come on so much in nursery and we are so glad we found it.

My son has recently started here (age 23 months at starting). He had some strong bonds at his old nursery so was a little nervous about moving him but just over a month on and he is pointing and smiling with excitement when we arrive - he even had an excited boogie on the doorstep today. He especially
likes the freedom to play in the garden here! Happy we moved him and looking forward to watching his growing bonds with staff and other children!

Reply from Hollie Ramage, Nursery Manager at Currie Children's Day Nursery

We are so glad he is settling so well and with his move down to adventurers, he will have even more chance to be outside which I already know he will love. Thank you for your review.

Both myself and my little one love the nursery! The staff are so amazing with him and they are great at updating the app so I can see what he's been up to all day. They've been amazing supporting with his toilet training, they take the children out on lots of days out and I feel 100% comfortable when
he's there. My wee one loves being outdoors and it's great that the kids are allowed out come rain or shine. Makes me sad that he doesn't ever want to leave to come home but I know he always has the best time with his friends and the staff!

My little one has recently started here, and they have settled him in so well. All the staff always seem so interested in the children’s welfare. I get continuous updates throughout the day about how he is getting on which is so nice after having him at another nursery beforehand with little communication.
He has come on so much at home since starting here, I can’t thank the girls enough for making him feel so welcome.

We get regular updates and a thorough handover every session. She has even started napping there better than at home.

Our children love their time at Currie Children's Day Nursery. The transition into the baby room and the pre school room was extremely supportive and child led. We really appreciate the regular updates and it's clear the staff really know the children as individuals.
All the staff are so kind and
warm we have nothing but praise for all the incredible work they do.
The activities and outings are always interesting, fun and creative. There is lots of sensory activities, lots of time spent in the amazing garden and fantastic opportunities through community visits to local areas that our eldest loves.
Recent wheelie day was a highlight for our eldest who has really grown in confidence on scooter/bike since this. The recent sports day was a lovely and supportive chance for the Children to experience games and teamwork.
Our children have grown in confidence, made friends and had opportunities to try activities that we wouldn't manage at home.
Our children really look forward to their days here.

The nursery and staff are fantastic. My son loves to be there and has his own favourites. My only highlight for the nursery would be to maintain cleanliness inside and outside the nursery. Regular hygiene checks would be much appreciated around the kids (runny noses etc). A little bit of an upgrade
in the kid's play area would be great too.

Reply from Nursery Manager, Nursery Manager at Currie Children's Day Nursery

Thank you for your feedback. We are very lucky to have such a dedicated and hard-working team at CCN. In regards to cleanliness: with parents coming and going at pick-up times the hallway floors can get mucky (especially in the winter) so I will pass your feedback on to our cleaner, however, these areas are deep cleaned at night for the following day. We have a few winter bugs going around just now and we try to keep on top of the runny noses, I will ask the team to be extra vigilant. We are surprised to hear you think our garden area needs upgrading as this is rated one of our best features in other reviews, our gardens are continually upgraded throughout the year to match the children's interests and playing styles at the time. We have a suggestion box within the nursery though if you have ideas on what could be added to our outdoor areas. Thank you for taking the time to review the nursery, please feel free to chat with the team regarding your feedback.

Excellent nursery. Staff are very enthusiastic and always have a range of activities organised throughout the week. My daughter looks forward to going and has really progressed since attending. She has made lots of friends who she talks about at home, as well as the staff. Staff are excellent at updating
the learning journals and it's great to see photos of what they've been doing each day/week.

I have been using Currie Children's Day Nursery for 4 years, with my first son from age 3 and now my second (started when he was one). It has been lovely to watch it grow and develop. I was happy with the nursery in the early stages but they have made so many changes, to the outdoor space, introducing
Forest style learning, introducing themes based on what the children are interested in and incorporating trips out as well, it has grown immensely in the last couple of years. The staff in all the rooms have been really caring and my son who is there now talks about them a lot and I can tell they engage with him in his interests. He also comes home having learned new things all the time, which is great.

Reply from Lisa Wilson, Nursery Manager at Currie Children's Day Nursery

Thanks, Debbie, it is great to hear you can see all the hard work we have put in to keep the setting growing and developing over the years, we try hard to ensure we keep improving and keep the children learning all the time.

He loves his time there and his needs are well met and he is continually pushed to develop and progress aligned

The nursery teachers are very good with my son, they make sure he's busy and has lots to do and is happy when there to see his pals. The best day of the week is a Friday when he is there and the outside park is good with the door open so they can play outside any time and the lunch he always eats as
at the house he never eats it all. Thanks.

Currie Children's Day Nursery is well run with our children enjoying the facilities and staff with the educational agenda/play keeping them well entertained and enthused. The variety and source of daily/weekly events/learnings are great and our children are happy to attend nursery and full of life when
there which is a testament to the team. The journals are a great source of information to keep parents abreast of what the kids have been up to and to aid our understanding of their learning and development.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.631)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.631) out of 10 for Currie Children's Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.776 for Currie Children's Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (135 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.776

  • 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 4.855 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Currie Children's Day Nursery 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.855

  • 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.
