Review from Lauren C (Mother of Child) published on 16 December 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The nursery has been fantastic, our daughter absolutely loves her time here, and all the wonderful people who look after her. Our daughter settled in very quickly, gets involved in lots of activities, eats all her meals and has progressed in many of her skills since attending. The management is always very professional.

We are so grateful to the manager and all the wonderful team!

Review from I C (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Both of our children have been at this nursery, with one still going three days a week. The manager is excellent - friendly, organised and helpful. The staff are also lovely and kind and have formed nice relationships with my children. The food goes down well with the kids and they do a range of activities - lots of books, singing and crafts. The outside space is nicely designed and our kids love it but it is quite small, being in the site where it is. We didn't find this mattered though. They have great opening hours too, 7.30-6.30.

Overall Experience

I am satisfied with the care that my son gets in the nursery. The staff are working hard and provide the best possible for the children. The learning is good, it could be extended more if the parent could see more of the keyworker. My son developed a lot through the nursery. Thanks.

Every time I come to this nursery I'm always welcomed by lovely management at the desk! My daughter has developed so much. She's talking more, playing with her peers nicely. Her overall experience has been amazing.

Overall Experience

Wonderful nursery. Really nice, friendly and helpful staff. Excellent equipment and well-structured learning aids. Always happy to help/assist when we have additional needs. I've had a good experience recently when I asked for a support plan for my son, who is visually impaired. A very clean environment and high food hygiene standards. I would definitely recommend this nursery to others.

Review from S B (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
All staff are amazing, so friendly, caring and loving. They encourage learning, especially integrating what we told them we had done at the weekend like going to a farm and that she likes reading. Management of the office and registration was great too. Answering all our questions. Establishing a sleep routine has been a bit of a challenge but is partly due to baby resisting but we keep working on it and the afternoon naps have much improved.
When teething, I just signed a form for the medicine and this was a comfort. The only constructive feedback would be the importance of security and doors that can be code locked to be so at all times. The food is great and plentiful but sometimes deviates from the meal plan which we like so we can plan the evening meal as something different. It would be good if there were outings to a library or park etc for them to experience more than just the nursery environment. Especially as the baby garden backs onto the bus stop.

Overall though, I would definitely recommend the nursery to others. They are also really helpful with the hours and 6.30pm pickup. Thank you.

Team of nursery practitioners are, professional, are actively involved in the children's development and are happy, that creates good vibes.

There does need to be healthy breakfasts eg. porridge not processed corn flakes.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for the last three years and it has been nothing but a great pleasure! The staff are lovely and they always give an informative hand-over which allows me to know exactly what my daughter has been doing on a daily basis! The meals that are provided are especially great, and we love the chef ... she is so welcoming! We love you guys!

Review from Jason A (Father of Child) published on 11 February 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Firstly I would like to thank the baby room team for making us feel so at home. I was really apprehensive about sending my son to a nursery, but when I came for my tour I was reassured that this would be the perfect place to send my little boy, who was just six months old when he started. The settling in period was great, the staff reassured me that crying at separation was perfectly normal and that he would quickly get used to his new routine.
My son is now one and he is so advanced compared to other babies his age. He is now able to walk and is beginning to use a range of words, no doubt his development was greatly helped by the opportunities the nursery provides him on a daily basis.

He has a fantastic key worker who genuinely cares for him and they have a great bond, on some days he even prefers her over me. Generally, the team is great, the managers are friendly and open and you just get a sense that they are genuinely there to provide the best environment for our child.

Review from M M (Mother of Child) published on 25 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has been attending Chancellor Grove Nursery and Private Pre-School since March 2017. I saw her thriving and developing from toddlers’ to Preschool. She is always happy and excited to attend the nursery.
However, the nursery does seem to have high turnover of staff and I am concerned about my child's stability and development.

The children are losing people they are attached to and this is not good for their learning, emotional and social development.

My son has been attending the nursery for a few months and is always happy and excited to attend. He speaks fondly of his carers and of all the exciting things he does. One of these highlights was the experience of watching ducks hatch.

My son joined in August 2017, he has thrived and developed since starting. He has had an amazing time since starting and made an amazing bond with his key person. He has begun his preparation for school and is feeling confident about this new transition.

This day nursery is amazing! My son loves so much coming and enjoy his day there. All staff are so kind and patient with kids. Everything is clean and tidy.

Also our first language is not English and people give us all the support that we need.

I really recommend!

Review from DH (Father of Child) published on 2 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My little boy started here at 10 months old and from the moment he joined, he has loved every minute. The staff are so kind and care so much for the kids. It’s always hard leaving your little one for the first time, but I’ve felt reassured knowing he’s in such good hands.
The whole team there spend time ensuring my little one settles in when they start but also support them as they progress into a new room.
They keep track of his progress and learning milestones and check in with us regularly so we know how he’s getting on.
For me, one of the major plus sides of Chancellor Grove is the access the kids have to the outside - my little boy loves this even in the winter!

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this nursery and their wonderful staff.

Review from V B (Mother of Child) published on 3 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I visited eleven nurseries and I felt that Asquith Chancellor Grove was the right place for my son. The facilities are fantastic where my child can explore and develop in a nurturing and most importantly safe environment.

The staff are professional and extremely welcoming as soon as you step through the door you are met with a smile. During his settling in process my son has been jumping out of my arms in order to play. As a working parent, all you want is your child to be safe, encouraged and happy, all the things I know that occur here.

I saw many nurseries in the area before this one. This is the most suitable by far. Great staff, hours, facilities and our son loves it. Our son has come along leaps and bounds. He is very happy here and we have peace of mind, so we are happy too.

Shaneic Job Title: Nursery Manager
Shaneic

Working with children has always been a passion of mine. I hold an education degree, an early year’s teacher status and have over 10 years of childcare experience. I have now been working with Bright Horizons for more than 2 years, and I absolutely love my job. Being a leader, I believe in creating an atmosphere where I am working in partnership to ensure children feel challenged to learn and develop, and where staff feel happy to come to work.

Chelsie Job Title: Deputy Manager
Chelsie

I have been working in childcare since 2016, working my way up from my Level 3 Apprenticeship to now Deputy Manager; I have also studied my Level 3 SENCo.

From my very first day in childcare, I loved the atmosphere and the environments I was able to create for the children. I have worked with all age ranges in the early years from birth to 5 years; every day is a new challenge and a new experience to develop my knowledge and my skills to provide the best care/environment for my staff/families and children.

I consider myself to be a hardworking and determined leader and role model, I believe that building strong partnerships with parents and families is vital in ensuring development and learning are extended at home.
