We absolutely love Blackberry House Day Nursery & Forest School (Corby). I moved my eldest from another setting because the opportunity for outdoor natural play is just immense. Their garden is amazing and the staff seem to love getting involved with the children's interests, making them excited about
the world around them. My youngest then started at Blackberries and from day 1 she went in and came out with smiles (at just 8 months old too!) The baby room staff are so lovely and I'm so glad I made the move to Blackberries.

This nursery is just incredible. My little boy loves to go. The staff are amazing, friendly and I genuinely feel so confident about leaving my child there, knowing he's safe, enjoying himself and very much cared for.
The forest school and outdoor areas are amazing, full of things to do and explore.

I cannot express how grateful I am for Blackberry House Day Nursery & Forest School and their incredible staff. From the moment my daughter started attending, I knew I had made the right choice. She is absolutely thriving here and is always so happy to go to nursery each day.
As a parent, it brings
me immense peace of mind knowing that I can leave my daughter in such caring and capable hands. The environment is not only clean and well-maintained but also spacious and interactive, providing the perfect setting for my child's development.
I am continually amazed at how much my daughter has learned already. At just 3 years old, she can count and recognise the alphabet! This is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the staff. I couldn't have wished for a better place for her to grow and learn.
Thank you, Blackberry Nursery, for creating such a nurturing atmosphere. I truly appreciate everything you do!

My little girl started in January, it’s mid-February now and the difference in her confidence, her speech just her overall self is incredible, as always it’s daunting leaving your child for the first time but I can honestly say I felt so at ease leaving her in the most safe warm and loving hands of
the nursery staff.
Every single staff member is so lovely and friendly and my daughter has made some wonderful connections with them already.
She absolutely loves coming to nursery in the mornings and it’s always her favourite days of the week.
You should be very proud of the space you’ve created, I can see it being such a popular place for years to come with children having such wonderful experiences. 100000/10 Thank you!

My daughter started in January at the Corby site and is absolutely loving it coming home telling us all she has done. The staff are so friendly and easy approachable. Everyday my daughter walks in with a big smile on her face and is always excited to go back the next day.
Can’t thank the staff at
enough for all they do, such an amazing nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.672)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.672) out of 10 for Blackberry House Day Nursery & Forest School (Corby) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 5 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 5.000 for Blackberry House Day Nursery & Forest School (Corby) is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.672 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blackberry House Day Nursery & Forest School (Corby) is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 145 number of registered child places is 29. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 29 = 0.172

  • 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.
