I'm very happy with the care and attention given to my child. She loves going to nursery, feels happy and safe, and has become more confident, talkative, and independent since attending. Thank you to the wonderful team for all their support!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're really happy to hear your daughter enjoys coming to nursery and that she's grown in confidence and independence.
Our daughter has been going here for almost 4 months now and I can only sing their praises. The staff are so polite and attentive, they're quick to resolve any concerns or care changes you may have for your child; they adhere to safeguarding and health and safety protocol so strictly - which makes me feel safe sending my daughter here. They update the EY app with pictures and daily logs which I love as I can see what she's up to while I'm at work. She loves the staff and her little friends here, we're so glad we found them!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're truly delighted to hear how happy you and your daughter are at nursery. Our team works hard to create a safe, nurturing, and responsive environment, so it's incredibly rewarding to know you feel confident and supported.
Our daughter has been at Chestnut House for 11 months. The staff are amazing. They really know our daughter and have an amazing relationship with her. It is a joy taking her to nursery; she is so happy and is supported and encouraged in all areas of her development. As parents, we couldn't ask for anything more.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your daughter is thriving at Chestnut House Kindergarten and that our team have built such a wonderful relationship with her. Knowing that she's happy, supported, and encouraged in her development is what we strive for.
Our experience from the first contact we had with the nursery, the settling in days, to his day to day care currently has been great. Staff have been very friendly, helpful and understanding of how difficult it could be to start sending your one year old to nursery. I have seen staff with my son and they have been exceptional. He has now developed a good relationship with his key worker and even lets her carry him (rare for him!). We would highly recommend it.
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that your experience with the nursery has been so positive and that your son has built a strong bond with his key worker. Supporting families during such transitions is our top priority, and your recommendation is greatly appreciated.
