    She attended both the Pooh Corner and the Tigger Room, and we met fantastic team in both rooms. They did a excellent job and really care about the kids. Moreover, we adore the Learning Journal and the entries team recorded.
    My only observations are that 1) the Management has been a bit disappointing, given that it was often very difficult (if not impossible) to talk to the manager (moreover, the manager changed twice since we joined, which we found a bit concerning). The Deputy Manager is a superstar though! 2) the Tigger Room cloakroom is a bit messy and pretty full. Our daughter loves to attend this childcare centre.

    We very much like the team – she consistently had lovely and attentive key workers. The management has consistently been responsive to our comments. In fact, we just enlisted our baby boy to join his older sister there later this year. My daughter is at this childcare centre for almost 3 years now and we are very satisfied.

    Our daughter started on 1st September at ten and a half months and she has settled quickly and painlessly. The team are genuinely inviting, attentive and welcoming. It is clear there is an abundance of cuddles in the baby room.
    All the kids are spotless, dry, fed, watered and entertained to the best of the team’s abilities as far as we can see. My daughter squeals with excitement sometimes when we arrive which is so reassuring.
    It would be nice to see or hear about some outdoor time, but aside from that, we are very cheerful. The team seem pragmatic and deal with incidents appropriately (our daughter has been bitten a couple of times) My husband and I are so cheerful with the team at Corner House.

    The facilities are outstanding and the team first class. They consistently take time to go over the day and explain all the activities they have done, discuss their development and answer any questions we have. My grandchild’s core worker has been an absolute star during their time there and I can’t suggest them enough. I’m incredibly impressed by this childcare centre.

    My grandchild consistently comes home smiling after a fulfilling day.

    The minute I walked in to scout it out I knew that it would be the one! This is down to one factor – the team. Down to earth, hardworking, welcoming, honest, loving etc, etc. The team are the reason for this childcare centre having such an influential reputation. First class childcare centre.

    I have been extremely cheerful with Corner House.
    The team are very welcoming and supportive and my daughter has a excellent time there.
    I was worried when she first started as her eating and drinking wasn’t very great, but the team reassured me that she’d be fine and she was.
    It’s a huge comfort to be able to go to work and not worry about her at all.

    The key workers he was assigned to in Pooh Corner and Tigger Room were so personable and consistently on hand in the morning and/or evening for passing on important information. The regular updates via the OLJ were excellent to see the discovering experiences he was involved in. Since moving upstairs, our son has thrived less and we sense he is a little bit lost in the larger setting. Key workers still exist but it’s a mix of adults responsible for his care and he needs to go through to the older room at certain times (due to team breaks/working hours). His naps and lunches are mostly recorded on a wall chart, but not consistently. He regularly loses belongings due to the cloakroom being full and the hall area can be messy. He still loves to attend childcare centre and the team are lovely and truly care about the kids. We do sense, however, that the rotations of rooms and adults result in inconsistencies and this has made an impact on our kid. My son has been enrolled since he was eight months old and has loved attending since.

    His self‑assurance has gone from strength to strength and he can’t wait to go each morning. On the occasions where he has had a wobble about me dropping him off, the team are consistently there to help and welcome him, so any tears never last long. The outdoor area is lovely and I adore that he comes home messy, sweaty and covered in dirt, a true sign of a great day! The team are exceptional, everyone consistently welcomes and says goodbye to my son by name even though he’s not in their group. There’s a real, genuinely inviting feeling about the place.

    My son will be leaving soon for school but we’re not saying goodbye yet and are signing up to a place for our next one due in the summer we adore it that much. My son has absolutely thrived since joining this childcare centre from another local one.

    Staff are welcoming and attentive and they put your kid development first. I adore noticing the things my kid has learnt from childcare centre. My kid loves going to childcare centre.

    She has been involved in activities that have provided a wide range of skills and advancement.

    We appreciate the level of effort taken to get the kids outside playing together and carrying out tasks. The web portal updates are really enjoyable to see. We have found that our daughter’s discovering and development at the childcare centre is very great.

    My kid comes home well looked after and spotless. Seems to like the food. Good focus on getting outside when possible. Friendly, courteous team who obviously take pride in their work.

    I’ve rated all aspects as Excellent aside from Management – which I’ve only rated Good, and only because there has twice been a change in management since my son joined. This hasn’t seemed to affect the service provision at all, but it was a tad unsettling – why managers aren’t staying for longer (albeit I appreciate it could be for any number of reasons!). I also only rated value for money as Good, as it’s at the steeper end of the price range compared to other options – but not having had experienced their facilities, it’s impossible for me to know if the price = value or not. The team, in particular, have all been excellent with my son – they’re incredibly inviting and genuinely attentive. It really comes across much more than a job to them and the opportunities for outdoor and messy playtime are plentiful. He’s developed at a excellent pace and looks forward to childcare centre every day he goes! I’ve been very cheerful with the childcare centre provisions for my kid – who’s been there from 12 months to now 28 months.

    Great management. My kid is consistently cheerful to go there. She learns a lot. We get a lot of feedback on our kid’s development and development. I think Corner House Nursery Gillsland is a really great childcare centre.

    Staff committed and great relationships with kids. My kids seem to delight in going there. Sometimes sense they could be a little more proactive at drop off if the kids get upset – this was quite stressful when my two were settling in. Overall great. Nice childcare centre with great outside space.

    The team are very motivated to aid the kids’s development through nurture and challenge and have been encouraged to improve their own qualifications. There has been a significant increase in the amount of outdoor time, nature discovering and trips. The outdoor space is incredible and with the addition of a fruitful vegetable garden, my kids have enjoyed bringing home produce which they were proud of.
    I have been present at mealtimes and have been impressed at the level of independence shown by the older kids helping themselves and eating together. My kids have been at the childcare centre for over two years and since the new management was installed it has gone from strength to strength.

    My niece loves going to childcare centre and consistently has lots of exciting stories to tell about her day. The team are all very welcoming and supportive and I have seen lots of improvements in the last few months when I have come to collect her. The Corner House childcare centre is in a lovely area with a excellent outdoor space.

    Our little boy has been going here since he was 10-months and now he’s getting ready to start school! It feels like an extended family to us and the trust is invaluable. Staff are inviting, proactive, firm but fair and work really hard. The childcare centre tries to be flexible with extra days etc. which, as an NHS worker, is appreciated. Would highly suggest and delighted that my nephew starts there next month! We adore Corner House Nursery Gillsland!

    Staff are fully committed and the boys adore attending. It is clear the team care for the kids and the placements have been excellent for their all-round development. Thank you! Delighted with the provision for our two boys.

    Our son started in August 2017 and his key worker worked with us to create a tailored settling in plan over 2 weeks to get us all used to the new surroundings. We’ve all settled into the routine now and our son looks forward to going to childcare centre each day and has made loads of new friends there. The childcare centre room has loads of space, regularly changed out toys and an outdoor space dedicated to the littlest ones.

    Optional extra activities are offered.

    The only negative is that the childcare centre will not administer medicine (e.g for teething) which we know some other Edinburgh nurseries will do. Great childcare centre with lovely team.
