August 2, 2021 at 12:00 amAll of the staff at Mulberry Corner are amazing! Our daughter not only has a wonderful relationship with her key worker, but all of the teachers who are so kind, caring and encouraging. Many of the staff have been there for years which I think speaks volumes.
We don’t have any family nearby but Mulberry Corner feels like we’re visiting family. Our little one always comes home smiling, telling us what she has done and which teachers have helped her or looked after her each day.
We couldn’t wish for a happier or safer environment for our child to learn and grow in, before she starts school in a years time.

August 2, 2021 at 12:00 amFantastic nursery – my daughter is so happy there! The staff are amazing and they do brilliant activities with the children! Their care for my daughter is exceptional! The app the nursery use is great and it brightens up my day to see the posts of what my daughter has been up to! She looks so happy and it’s great to see her playing so well with the other children.

August 5, 2021 at 12:00 amAll three of my children attend Mulberry Corner in each of the different rooms. They are always raring to go to Mulberry and come back so happy with lots to talk about. The nursery staff are absolutely fantastic and my children have strong relationships with both their key person and all the staff in their rooms. The staff and management are always more than happy to tailor anything specifically for a child eg food, activities. All the team are genuinely very approachable and happy to chat through any questions I may have from time to time. They are truly the main asset of the nursery and I feel so comfortable leaving my children in their care. We haven’t been able to go inside the nursery properly since covid as per all other nursery’s, but from what I can see at pick up and drop off and the regular updates using the app it would appear the children have a wide range of good quality equipment to explore. I would have no doubts about recommending this setting.

August 23, 2021 at 12:00 amAll three of my children have attended Mulberry Corner and it has always been a lovely nursery and pre-school, with lots of great activities for the children. The staff are very attentive to the children and really get to know them well. Over the years many improvements have been made to the interior and exterior spaces, and there is a good variety of resources to explore. We are kept up to date with photos and comments in the app, and it always looks like lots of fun! The setting has been very reliable over the pandemic and the staff have put a lot of effort into staying open and keeping the children safe. I would highly recommend the setting.

February 16, 2022 at 12:00 amWe moved our eldest from a different nursery to Mulberry and have not looked back since! They have been great at seeing my child for who he truly is and respects his personality and wishes. We have since had my daughter join and again, we have enjoyed watching her grow in confidence and ability! An absolutely great nursery all round!

January 9, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my children go to Mulberry Corner and we love it there. All the staff have been great and for the Christmas season there are lots of activities for the children and parents are invited to Christmas parties. The communications with parents are great and we get to see what the children have been up to every day.

February 6, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter is very happy at the nursery. The staff in the PIPs room are very nice and welcoming and my daughter really seems to respond well to them. I think the activities at the nursery are varied, interesting and well-structured for the children. The food is really varied and my daughter eats really well there, which we are really happy about.
The only negative comment is towards the directors. The parents tend to get charged even when the nursery needs to close for the occasional day (sickness of staff, heat, burst pipe) and we really feel that these days should get refunded to the parents. It’s a really unfair clause in the contract.

February 8, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter started at Mulberry Corner at the beginning of January, after we moved from a different nursery where she had not settled. Within just a few weeks, she is so happy and settled there! The staff are amazing at communication and updating the app. It is such a cosy, homely environment with lots of different activities. The food they offer is always varied and healthy and my daughter eats everything there. Would highly recommend.

March 4, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth my children started in November last year and I couldn’t be happier. My son, who has never attended a setting before settled so well into the baby room and he absolutely loves it in there. My Daughter has attended a setting before, so she settled well but has since gained lovely relationships with the staff and also the children. The staff are great but the children in preschool are also so welcoming and that really reflected when my daughter started. That is a great reflection on the staff in preschool. It’s a weight off my mind leaving them in such capable hands.

March 8, 2023 at 12:00 amHaving looked at a number of nurseries in the local area Mulberry Corner stood out by a mile with its friendly feel and superb facilities. Our daughter has been attending since October and loves every minute. The team in the babies group are fabulous, they are attentive and caring and give us total ease of her care. The app is a great platform to keep us updated and we love seeing the array of activities that our daughter takes part in along with the photos of her and her friends and milestone updates. My husband and I couldn’t recommend the team and nursery highly enough.

March 13, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff are always very helpful and friendly. My daughter has settled in very well since starting in October 2022, she is always happy to go to nursery. The staff are good at keeping you updated and the app is such a good way for parents to be kept updated on their child’s progress.
Very good communication.

March 22, 2023 at 12:00 amSince our little girl started at Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool we have watched her grow and learn so much. The staff are all so lovely and welcoming and their level of care is fantastic. When we drop our daughter off we are reassured she is in a safe and happy place. Our daughter also loves the nursery and has built up a great rapport with the staff. Most days she runs straight in to play with her new friends without looking back! We also really appreciate the photos they put up of the activities they have done at the end of each day, it’s great to see our daughter having fun!

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter started at Mulberry Corner in April 2022 and we were thoroughly supported by the staff in the baby room as she transitioned to nursery life.
The staff are wonderful, friendly and personable and seem to have a genuine interest in taking care of our little one. They create a lovely, warm atmosphere. So much so that we barely get a backward glance when our little one is dropped off in the mornings! The communication is brilliant and staff always respond promptly to any questions we may have. All transitions to the ‘older’ rooms have been fully explained and our little girl barely noticed the difference such was the commitment of the staff in ensuring she was happy.
The nursery fully encourages a wide variety of play and exploration and it’s a relief to see that they spend so much time outside, regardless of the weather.
Our little girl has thrived since joining the nursery and we are really happy with our decision to send her here.

July 23, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been at Mulberry Corner Nursery & Preschool for 2 years and is going to school this year. Everybody is quite supportive and professional. I would say all staff members have had a great impact on my son and he loves it at the nursery. He likes all the staff very much and is very sad that he is leaving Mulberry. He tells me that he is going to miss all staff and children and hopes to see them and play with them in the park in the future. Thanks Mulberry for making such a happy and unforgettable environment for him.
