Day Nurseries Owned by Chestnut Nursery Schools Ltd

Both of our children attend here - one in the baby room and one in preschool. We've had such a warm, caring feeling from all the staff looking after our children. The communication is great and the updates on the app give us a great insight into their day. We feel the staff really care about them and enjoy looking after them. Our oldest has bonded so well with each key person in each room as he's got older. One of the things that drew us to the nursery was the huge outdoor space - our eldest has so much energy and he loves spending the day in each garden. We would highly recommend this nursery to other families.

Our daughter has been attending the nursery since January, when she was just 11 months old, in the Einstein room. From the beginning, we have been incredibly impressed by the professionalism and care shown by all staff members. The communication with families is excellent, and we always feel informed and involved. The team works hard to follow our daughter's schedule and preferences, while also using their professional judgement when needed, which gives us great confidence in their care. The safeguarding procedures are thorough, and we really appreciate being updated on the EYFS indicators our daughter has achieved. The activities provided are highly engaging, varied, and clearly support her development. The facilities are excellent, and every member of staff is friendly, welcoming, and approachable. Most importantly, our daughter settled in extremely quickly and is always happy to attend. She also really enjoys the wide range of food offered each day. We would highly recommend.

Chestnut is a wonderful nursery. They have been taking care of our child for over two years now. The staff is amazing and they take the time to explain the days to the parents at pick up. The nursery is also well located on the recreational ground which means that the children get to go outside often. I thoroughly recommend Chestnut in Cottenham.

Thank you, Chestnut, for taking such great care of the Children. Special thanks to Lucy and Bethany.

Thank you very much

Fabulous nursery setting! Thank you as always x

We truly value how well the team keeps us updated on his daily activities and development. While we did encounter some challenges for a short period, I have to commend Sam and the senior team for their transparency. They were completely open about the issues, took full responsibility, and were genuinely apologetic. Most importantly, they worked incredibly hard to resolve the situation and make things right. It gave us so much confidence to see how they handled it, and we couldn't be happier with the care our son receives now

We can not praise the team enough for their care and compassion and we are so pleased we moved him and our only regret is we wished we had of moved sooner!!

Highly rate chestnut nursery! Our daughter joined after we moved house and settled straight in. Her days are filled with fun with lots of time outside and she loves telling us about all the activities. The nursery has very clear communication and does such lovely events for both parents and kids. We're so glad we chose Chestnut nursery!

I would highly recommend Chestnut to any parent. Thank you for everything you do - keep up the fantastic work

Great nursery, my son is very happy at Chestnuts. He has been going since he was 11 months old and settled straight away in the baby room with the amazing Mel as his key worker. He has now moved up to the toddler room and is getting more confident every day. He learns so much and comes home with new songs or words regularly which are from his day at nursery. The staff are really friendly and listen to any concerns. Would recommend.

Both of my children have attended Chestnut Nursery in Taverham, and it has been a wonderful experience for our family. My son currently attends and is so happy there. The staff are caring, supportive, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing and development. He has matured so much during his time with them. The nursery has a real family feel, with great communication and a very supportive approach to the whole family. It's always clean, well-resourced, and the garden is a lovely, safe space for the children to explore. Health and safety is clearly a priority, and the food is consistently good. We feel very lucky to be part of such a nurturing setting.

Our little girl has been attending the nursery for 3 months now and we cannot fault them. She's settled very well and everyone in the baby room is so friendly and you can tell they really care. We get regular updates with wow moments and love the range of activities on offer. They seem to be putting on lots of events that the parents can get involved in giving a sense of community! The food seems to be nutritious and healthy and they will work with you to follow routines.

Since my little one started back in September 2025, he has grown so much, from speech to abilities, his confidence and social interaction. The team has done amazing work and they are always so friendly and helpful and love the fact we get to go in and have visits like this mornings cooking class.

Excellent nursery. Our daughter moved there from a different nursery and settled in straight away. Staff and friendly and caring. Support is great for delayed speech and regular updates on the parenting app are received. Would highly recommend and we will be sending our next child there.

Cannot rate Chestnuts highly enough! Both of my children have come here and have learnt so much! The staff have been so welcoming, even before my youngest started! They constantly come home telling me about all the amazing things they have done that day, getting super involved in things like puffy paint and the mud kitchen! They are both super excited to go to nursery, and run in very happily, which is all down to the warm nature of the staff! Thankyou for keeping my children so happy and healthy!

Thank you

My daughter loves attending the nursery. She has developed so much since attending and engages in a wide range of activities throughout the day. Staff are friendly, caring and good at communicating how her day has been.

Chestnut nursery on St Giles has been a great experience for my Daughter since joining in 2024. The staff are very friendly and they really seem to care about the children. The daily activities are engaging and fun and the updates provided through the app are really nice to see. The environment is calm and the children always look happy when I drop off and collect my child. I would recommend Chestnuts nursery on St Giles, it has been really positive for us.

The nursery's approach to early childhood education is both thoughtful and effective. The activities are designed to stimulate curiosity and creativity while fostering a love for learning. My children always looked forward to their days at nursery, eagerly sharing stories of the fun and enriching experiences they had.
