  • Chingford House Nursery, London
Chingford House Nursery is based in a beautiful terraced house in a popular residential area, close to schools in Chingford.

The owner and manager have over 50 years combined early years’ experience and they lead an extraordinary team of compassionate and dedicated early years practitioners.

The nursery strongly believes that children need warm and affectionate relationships to support their emotional well-being and the nursery's key person approach is key to achieving this.

CHN has discovered the ideal balance between children learning through play and providing a more structured learning environment as the nursery prepares children for school. The room leaders support children with their reading, writing and phonics.

CHN complements its educational programme with extra-curricular activities such as Forest school.

CHN takes children from 6 months to 5 years.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Couldn't fault the care & the staff. My son loves nursery and the various activities etc. I have rated management slightly lower as I think improvements could be made to general communication, especially around recent fee changes where errors caused a lot of worry for parents (i.e. We thought they were
going to increase by hundreds per month!). Also for food because I think sometimes this is a little basic/bland. There could be a bit more thought given to nutrition/variety.

We love Chingford House. Our daughter is always happy to come in the morning and she is enthusiastic with her tales of what she got up to in the day. They look after the children really well and take the time to create special bonds with the kids.

Both children attend/have attended Chingford House Nursery - 10 years apart! Nothing but great things to say! Can't fault the staff or environment - kind, friendly, welcoming. My son has learnt so much in less than one year. He loves to come to nursery!

Lovely nursery, my son went here too. We love the small class sizes and care the teachers give the children. I always recommend to friends in the area. Nice activities for the children to do.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.742)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.742) out of 10 for Chingford House Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.742 for Chingford House Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (387 Excellents x 5) + (118 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 512 Ratings = 4.742
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chingford House Nursery is based on 43 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 43 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
