Day Nurseries Owned by Elmscot Group in Cheshire

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.

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.

We couldn’t be happier with the nursery. Our daughter has settled in really quickly due to the excellent care and attention provided by the staff. We get regular updates on how she spends her days which provides great reassurance. They do a variety of activities with the children to ensure they enjoy their time each day. Thank you to all the staff.

A great little nursery.

Overall, I can’t recommend Chester Day Nursery enough; the team are great, and you can tell they really care about the children.

Two years together, and we didn't have any problems. All the staff were nice and very helpful. My child is always happy to go and see everyone. They have great outdoor places and a garden with a lot of activities. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Overall just a lovely nursery and staff all round.

We’re very grateful for the last 3 years.

I would give this nursery more than five stars if was able. They have been beyond helpful in helping our little one get comfortable with attending a setting. Like a home from home, my little one has built a very strong relationship with her "teachers". I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

Our son has attended Poppies since August 2022 and within a day or two, settled into Big Bears like he'd been there for months already! The staff are excellent with the children, observant and encouraging with their teachings and very friendly and approachable and we have found the communication with the parents to be great. Our son enjoys all of the activities, lessons and playtime outside. He is now in pre-school and especially looks forward to Forest School. The meals are varied and sound delicious! I'm so glad we found Poppies and I can't wait for our other son to start there. Thank you to all the staff - you are wonderful and a credit to the nursery!

Brilliant, safe and happy nursery. My child has come on so much since going to nursery and has a brilliant relationship with not only the staff in his room but the entire nursery. It’s lovely to get pictures and updates on the daily activities.

Our daughter has been attending Poppies now for 2 years and we are extremely happy. The staff are great! Very friendly, caring and fun. Fab outdoor space, and we love how often they take the children out to play. Highly recommend the nursery.

A wonderfully nurturing, creative and enriched environment with staff who genuinely care. Good organisation, lots of additional activities and outings in the local area. We're so pleased, and wouldn't want our child to attend anywhere else.

Poppies are everything we could want from a nursery! Thanks to all!
