Day Nurseries Owned by Elmscot Group

Thank you so much for looking after Anika over the last 2.5 years. You have all been such a special part of her early years, and we're truly grateful for all the love, care and kindness you've shown her.

She still misses you all and keeps talking about you, saying all your names. It really means so much to us knowing she was so happy and cared for with you.

She is settling really well into school, which makes us so happy and proud. We're sure all the confidence and lovely memories she has built over the last 2.5 years with you have helped her make this new start so positively.

We will always remember the wonderful memories you've helped create for her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We've had a wonderful experience at Woodlands Day Nursery with both of our children spanning over almost 6 years! Even though my eldest had left just before our youngest started, the staff still spend time to have a conversation with her and ask how school is.

It gave us great reassurance that our youngest came home happy talking about their day, saying they liked nursery and missed it.

The staff have provided excellent care and supported both of our children's development.

I loved that our youngest had a great bond with a number of his carers and had made good friends with his peers.

We'll definitely miss Woodlands!

My little boy has been at Woodlands for 2.5 years and it has been absolutely fantastic. All the staff are kind, approachable, very professional and nothing short of amazing. From the beginning, I felt confident he would be safe and happy there and he most certainly has been. I cannot give enough praise for this nursery and would thoroughly recommend it to any parent. It also has a lovely outdoor space, very spacious, safe, and lots of things to play on. My little boy has also enjoyed their forest school when they take them to the woods once a week and look at nature, play games and have a hot chocolate. I have always liked that they take them out on engaging activities like this. I only wish my older boy had attended here too!

My son has been at Woodlands for over 2 and 1/2 years and he has loved every bit of it. The staff are very friendly and supportive. They are always doing lots of different activities which all help with the children's development. My son really enjoyed forest school and the various trips out they did, including the airport!

Our son attended this nursery for 3.5 years, and it's been a really wonderful journey for him. The staff are just lovely, they are so passionate about what they do and highly professional, while still being genuinely caring and nurturing. You can tell they really know and care about each individual child.

The setting itself is perfect. Inside is always set up so nicely, and the outdoor area is really big and well designed, giving the children plenty of space to explore and play. We've been so impressed by the wide range of activities they get up to - the Forest School sessions were a particular highlight for our son.

Communication with us as parents has always been really good and reliable too. We are so grateful to the whole team for making his early years so positive, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery.

From day one felt confident in the staff and always felt my child was safe and well looked after. They listen and are very caring towards my child and clearly want the best for them. Every room has been excellent, well led and very responsive to any needs. The food is excellent and the activities they do are varied both in The nursery and out on trips. My daughter has loved it, the management know all the children and families well and overall it genuinely felt like dropping her off at a home from home.

I will miss coming here having been bringing one or two children here over past six years.

Broussa has been a delight for our second child. He is happy, stimulated and I am thrilled we chose Broussa. He does activities throughout the year that continue to excite him and the staff are always thinking about how the interests of the children relate to what they are doing.

An amazing nursery, with caring, supportive, excellent key workers who give everything to the kids. Time, energy, patience and focus. Our children are thriving at this nursery and they love it. Never an issue being dropped off and we know they're treated with great care, respect as little humans and attention.

My twin sons have been attending Hale Day Nursery since June 2025 and we have had such a positive experience. The grounds of the nursery have been recently renovated and provide a lovely environment for children to explore and thrive. The staff are so caring and as a twin mum I was anxious about negotiating drop off and pick up particularly before my sons were able to walk, Rhia has always been so understanding and helpful with this which is something I have appreciated so much. Updates from the nursery are provided regularly throughout the day and I love receiving the photos showing what my sons have been doing each day. I would highly recommend Hale Day and am so thankful how they have made the transition to starting nursery so smooth.

Lovely nursery, all the staff are very kind and my little girl has flourished compared to the last nursery she attended her language has developed so much and the staff are always doing activities getting all the children involved.

I couldn't recommend them enough.

Emma and Annette are both managers I believe and are both fabulous and have made me feel nothing but secure and confident in my decision to send my child to Broussa. They lead with passion and the upmost care and it is greatly appreciated!!!

My child loves the staff at the nursery, and they are wonderful with him. He is always happy to attend, and sometimes doesn't want to leave as he enjoys spending time with his friends and his key workers. Although he has a couple of additional needs these have been incorporated into the day without any issues and it is very much appreciated.

Could not recommend Chester Day Nursery enough! They've been fab with my little girl who has been going since she was 9 months old and is now 19 months old. The staff in Hedgehogs are so kind and welcoming, my little one always has a big smile on her face walking into the room. She enjoys the activities set up throughout the day and the outings in the buggy bus to the park. She's developed so much since starting this nursery and it's great to see how each activity helps to develop her skills and learning. Seeing her enjoying herself on the daily pictures is a highlight of the day and always so reassuring knowing we made the right decision by choosing this nursery.

Fantastic nursery! Has made my baby boy feel so comfortable and safe, he loves experimenting with all the fun activities and trips they provide for him. They always keep us up to date with his day to day sessions as well as his overall progress. They also make me feel very happy and reassured that he is in excellent hands. The food is also excellent; healthy, fresh and a great variety of dishes every week.

We highly recommend the Nursery, and a massive thank you to all the staff!

Our four-year-old has been at Chester Day Nurseries and Preschool for three months, and we're so happy with it. The staff are all incredibly friendly and welcoming, and she settled in straight away. Her confidence and independence have grown so much, and she's now more than ready for school. Communication is great, and it's a genuinely happy, supportive environment. We were really impressed by the lovely outdoor space at the nursery, and the children also get to visit Grosvenor Park, which adds some variety. The food is also excellent - healthy and well-balanced. A brilliant nursery all round!

I would highly recommend Chester Day Nursery.

The staff are excellent. They are very knowledgeable, experienced and work with great care.

My son really enjoys attending and has established good relationships with the staff and children.

Communication home is very good, both in terms of daily detail and more general activity.

There are opportunities for parents and carers to get involved, for example reading with the children or attending stay and play for special days such as Father's Day.

The setting is fantastic - spacious and with a great garden where they can grow and taste their own vegetables.

My son is very happy at Chester Day Nursery and he is encouraged and supported during these crucial early years.

As a parent, choosing the right nursery is one of the most important decisions, and I couldn't be happier with our experience at Chester day nursery. From day one, the staff have been warm, professional, and incredibly nurturing. They took the time to get to know my child personally, understanding their needs, interests, and personality. The facilities are clean, bright, and safe. There's a wonderful mix of indoor and outdoor activities, and I've noticed a big improvement in my child's social and cognitive development since joining. The curriculum is both fun and educational, striking a perfect balance between structured learning and creative play. I also really appreciate the regular updates, photos, and feedback we receive, which help us feel involved and reassured throughout the day. It's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and take pride in what they do.
