My daughter started the nursery in January 2026 aged 10 months and I have been super happy with her experience so far.
She is getting involved in lots of activities both indoor and outdoor.
She has settled over a number of weeks and the staff have been very encouraging and patience with this.
If
in person or when I call them, their communication is also detailed.
They have recently completed a first assessment of how my daughter is doing in the setting etc and met with me in person to discuss which felt super personalised, they were keen to explore any new goals they could work towards to support my daughter in her learning journey.
The way they spoke about her just shown clear commitment to her development
Fabulous nursery setting! Thank you as always x

It's been such a wonderful nursery so far!
Not only were they super helpful with setting up our daughter to start (first time parents we were a bit lost), they have been so supportive settling her in.
Thank you very much

My daughter attends Chestnut Nursery at Greatfields. She has been going there for about 3 months and loves it. We have seen increase in her vocabulary, self independence and overall development. Though she has one key person, she seems to be happy with every staff members there. The staff are very professional,
caring and always give daily debriefs during pick up. Very happy with this nursery and highly recommend.

As parent and an experienced teacher with over 10 years in primary education - we cannot speak highly enough of Sue Bramley Chesnut Nursery. From the very beginning, the manager and deputy manager were welcoming, informative, and incredibly supportive, which made the whole process of enrolling our son
smooth and reassuring.
Since starting at the nursery, I've seen such wonderful progress in our son's communication skills and confidence. The baby room practitioners deserve special recognition for the love, patience, and care they show every day. It's clear that they genuinely value each child and work hard to create a nurturing and stimulating environment.
I am especially happy with his primary carers and all the staff who look after him. We feel truly comforted knowing that he is being cared for, well-fed, and loved in our absence. The smile on his face and the excitement he shows when he sees his key worker say it all - he feels safe, happy and secure.

If you are in doubt - this is the nursery you need to choose.
When choosing a nursery for my daughter I was meticulous - I scoured all the nurseries in the local areas and cherry picked only the best to view and consider. Gascoigne came out on top and I am so glad I chose this nursery because it is
simply perfect in all ways.
It is extremely well led by Mandy, the nursery manager who is dedicated and loved by all. ALL of the staff here are very professional, warm, enthusiastic, set high standards of good behaviour, promote independence of the children and overall take pride in their work.
My daughter joined in July 2024 and had never been looked after by anyone other than myself and my mother. She settled in very well and now attends every day and absolutely loves it. Her confidence and independence have boosted and her separation anxiety is no longer.
I cannot thank the nursery enough for all they do - this is every day for them but for me, it means everything.

This nursery is perfect for any child. The staff is very patient and very professional. They are very involved in the development of your child.
For me and my daughter, this nursery was the best.
So I want to say thank you to all the staff for helping my daughter developing.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. From day one, the staff have been warm, professional, and genuinely caring. Our child settled in quickly and has thrived in the safe, fun, and nurturing environment. The team encourages learning through play and supports development, we've
seen such positive growth. Communication is excellent, with daily updates at pick up and weekly photos. It's clear the staff truly love what they do. We're so grateful for the care our child receives

I'm so happy with Greatfields nursery! My daughter absolutely loves it here and is always excited to go. The staff are amazing - so friendly, caring, and professional. She loves them all, and it's clear they genuinely care about the children.
I feel so relieved knowing she's in such a safe and nurturing

Highly recommended

My son started at Chestnut nursery when he was 11 months old and we left when he was 15 months in March 2025 as we moved out of the area. He started doing 3 days a week and gradually built up to 5 days a week. He had an absolutely amazing experience at Chestnut and we were so sad to leave!
The settling
in process was excellent, he immediately connected to the staff and was confident and happy when he arrived at nursery every morning, jumping into his key worker's arms! The staff are so friendly and attentive and they genuinely care and connect with each and every child in their care. It really feels like a family.
I felt very comfortable and confident leaving my son there every day and would definitely recommend Chestnut Avenue nursery to parents in the area.

No parents polls have been had in many years. Prices have been raised by 60% in since 2021, with an additional £60 a day with 7 weeks notice this year.
The management refuses to meet parents for any form of discussion or have communication.

Chestnut Nursery School is a fantastic nursery. Their attention to detail with my child's care is amazing, and every member of staff we have encountered has been engaged, welcoming and friendly. Their settling process was really robust, and my son absolutely loves attending every day. They have a great
range of activities and opportunities for the children and a wonderful indoor and outdoor space for play.

My son started nursery here in October and although I was very worried in the beginning as I thought he is still too young, this is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
If you are a parent who thoroughly likes to research and make sure everything is perfect, this nursery is exactly for you.
Ever since he has started I have had no doubts whatsoever and can see huge progress already.
The staff are wonderful, caring, and answer all questions you may have upon pick up. The nursery manager in particular; she deserves a special mention and praise. I give the nursery's success to someone who is very professional at what they do, very approachable, answers all queries/questions you may have and always offers the best, convenient solution.
The nursery is clean, has lots of activities to offer and a perfect environment for my son to strive. I highly recommend Chestnut Nursery School.

We are fortunate to be a short walk away from this amazing nursery. My child started here a few months ago when he turned 1, and he is thriving. The settling in process went smoothly and he quickly bonded with his caregivers. The staff and nursery manager are all lovely, helpful and approachable. They
adore our son and I feel very comfortable dropping him off every day. He comes home happy and sometimes doesn't want to leave! My only complaint is the app only tells you about nappy changes, meals and naps. It would be good to get more regular information on what my child is up to. I did get a lot of information and pictures at six-week observation, and that was lovely.

I love how the staff and managers ensure the kids are well cared for, and parents are well informed on progress.
I am always so confident that my now 3 year old daughter will have a lovely day filled with learnings and utmost care, and yes, she comes back so happy.
