I was a bit nervous about sending my little girl off to nursery, but I could not be happier with Corner House Nursery. All the staff are super friendly, and my little girl really enjoys her days there, playing and learning. She is a bright child, but we have noticed that her language and communication skills have rocketed since she started nursery - she really is thriving in the interaction and activities that the staff provide. The fact that she is happy is proof enough that Corner House provides a nurturing environment for young children.

The staff are great and my daughter loves her days there. They do lots of learning and activities and I never feel she gets bored. The staff are always thinking of new ideas to keep them entertained and I love that they've started helping them with their letters.

Very friendly staff, always very accommodating. The teachers are always ready to help and to make the children feel welcomed. They are also very good at helping children manage their emotions, which we found very helpful. Messy play and outdoor activities/walks, are great.

Very happy with the nursery and staff. It's great to know that our daughter enjoys her time at nursery! Bespoked strategies for specific children's differences/requirements are much appreciated and makes a huge difference to development/adjustment.

We love Corner House Nursery, the staff really make it for us. All are friendly, exceptionally caring and create a loving family atmosphere. Communication is always fantastic and, most importantly, our daughter enjoys her days there and looks forward to going.

I have two children at Corner House, and during the last two years we have experienced great care in all four rooms. My daughter started in the Robins at 2. She moved through to the Puffins at 3 and is now an Owl. She has always loved going to nursery, they spend time outside in one of three areas each day, and sometimes go to the river or local playpark on excursions. They do a lot of themed topics about the world around us, and staff also follow the child's interests - she likes writing and crafts and the staff encourage her to express this. My son joined the Ducklings at 11 months, and the care was brilliant to help support him in the nursery environment. The children are happy and learning lots, and it makes it easier to leave them while I work! The staff are great, many have been there a long time, and there are always lots of updates in the newsletter as staff complete training levels, showing a commitment to the children's care and learning. We are sent pictures/updates by app.

My son has been attending Corner House Nursery Banchory for over a year now and we are so happy. We changed nurseries after over a year which felt like a big risk but I am so relieved that we did and despite this nursery not being as close to us it is definitely worth the extra morning commute. The staff are attentive and I really appreciate that they seem to know my son well, being able to tell me what he ate and whether he enjoyed it without having to check a sheet - it’s clear to me that they are spending proper time with the children. He transitioned to the next room up a little over a month ago and I am pleased that this hasn’t impacted the level of care I feel he is receiving; the quality of staff is retained throughout all their rooms. When we first joined I was told they thought of themselves more like a family which was cheesy but evidently feels really true. I would recommend this nursery to everyone and hope my next child can attend next year.

My daughter absolutely loves her time at Corner House Nursery. She started when she was two. I thought she might struggle to settle being a lockdown baby but the staff are all so wonderful and she quickly built up bonds with each of them. This helped her settle so well and she’s thriving there. The staff really do care about the children and make their time so fun. I recommend Corner House Nursery Banchory to anyone looking for childcare in the area.

Excellent nursery, highly recommended. The staff is very competent and friendly and children are well looked after. The manager is very friendly and accessible. Although the buildings are old, a lot has been invested to renovate and maintain it to a high standard. The outside play area was also recently upgraded

Excellent nursery - a wide range of activities; from toys to role-play and academic learning too. Food is good, variable and healthy. A good balance of well-experienced staff and newer staff provides a good, caring environment. I like the outdoor area with the 'recycled ' playpark and its natural material items are good for educating the kids to a more ecologic use of space.

We are thoroughly happy with the nursery. The staff are all very good with my daughter and all seem to know her well. They carry out lots of fun activities with her and she seems to really enjoy herself. There are not really any areas of improvement that I feel we need to pass on. Any issues that have been mentioned before seem to of been addressed and are in the plan for the improvement of the nursery.

Excellent nursery with fantastic friendly, caring, attentive and compassionate staff. Feel that answers to questions via email could be improved. Have received a lack of communication regarding questions sent via email on a couple of occassions.

Celtic Cross is a fantastic nursery and we really feel like our child is not only in safe hands but is being encouraged and supported in her development. The staff are friendly and really do care about the children. Their activities are well thought through and I love that they will do simple things like bring the children to the shop. Our daughter recently moved from one room to another at nursery and the handover was great with introductory settling in sessions and clear communications on what would be done differently. Times were organised for us to visit the new room and ensure all our questions were answered. Overall, I can't fault the nursery or staff and our daughter loves it.

Really loved nursery, my girls have really developed and transitioned well to the robins room. They really are settled and have so many learning opportunities to challenge them. Wonderful staff team who go above and beyond their duties and who are very friendly.

Great nursery, very friendly staff and child centred. My daughter has been attending for 2 years and has established such good relationships with staff. Staff are very welcoming and attuned to my daughter's needs/ especially in her first year as she had a number of allergies. I Readily recommended Celtic cross to family and friends

Could not be happier with the care and support from Celtic Cross. For a mother struggling to leave her 10-month-old daughter with even family it was a serious worry when I had to return to work, but the staff at Celtic Cross completely put my mind at total rest. They look after my daughter as if she was their own and she absolutely loves the day to day routine and activities they give her. She feels at ease with the lovely staff and they have helped and supported her through so many stages. She is now 3 and looks forward to going to the nursery! Highly recommend!

We have used Celtic Cross Nursery for both of our children over the last 5 years. We have always been very happy with the nursery and the care our children receive. The staff are very caring and provide a great range of activities to stimulate, involve and engage the children. Both my children have been initially difficult to settle at nursery and have had various relapses though their time attending but this is always dealt with care and compassion from the staff. The nursery makes good use of their outdoor areas and the children really like being able to access both the 'new' playground and the bark area. I would highly recommend this nursery, it was the only nursery having visited several that I felt able to leave my children at to return to work.

My son has been attending Celtic Cross for three years now, and he absolutely loves it. The staff are all so friendly and supportive. There is a nice variety of activities for the children, and I love that they get to be outside as much as the weather permits.

My daughter loves coming to nursery! The staff are super friendly and welcoming and make her time away from home very enjoyable.
