In the heart of Belvedere, Chestnut Tree Day Nursery is an established, independent setting that cares for up to 60 children aged 3 months to five years. Rated Good by Ofsted, the nursery is known locally for its warm, family feel and a settled team who get to know each child and their family well, fostering strong relationships and continuity of care.
Children are cared for in three age-based rooms, so each stage of early childhood has a space designed around it. The Babies room (0–2) can take up to 16 babies, the Tots room (2–3) up to 20 toddlers, and the Pre-School room (3–5) up to 24 children.
Learning follows the Early Years Foundation Stage, with each child’s progress recorded in an online learning journal using the Tapestry app, enabling families to view photos, observations, and milestones. Safeguarding is led by a designated lead within the team, and policies are reviewed regularly to keep pace with current guidance.
The nursery opens from 7:30am to 6:00pm, 50 weeks of the year, providing families with flexible options to accommodate longer working days. Alongside full days, families may select school-day hours or morning and afternoon sessions, allowing flexible scheduling to fit around work and family commitments. Government-funded early education hours are accepted for eligible children.
Families interested in Chestnut Tree Day Nursery may arrange a visit to meet the team, view the rooms, and discuss how the nursery can support each child’s early development.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 50 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 50 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.8 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Caring, kind and attentive staff. They made my son feel very welcome from day one. They are very responsive, organised and keep us updated throughout the day if our little one is struggling for whatever reason. This shows individualised and tailored care. Charlie in the management has been efficient, a pleasure to deal with and flexible whenever we needed some extra support for which both my wife and I are very grateful. I can see my son's confidence growing everyday thanks to the care of the amazing staff in the baby room. I feel entirely confident and relaxed about leaving him there.

Staff is very friendly and approachable, my son has really struggled with the settling in and the staff have gone above and beyond to help with this. You can see that they are not money motivated but they care about the kids, you have half day sessions as well as full day sessions. Is a very homey environment where you can speak with the same people all the time, calls, emails and in person, you always have someone to go to. Everything is opened plan so you have a good overview of the whole place, nothing hidden behind closed doors. Very safe with cctv at the doors. Overall great experience.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review! Settling in can be a big step for some children, so we're really glad the team could support your son through it. It's lovely to hear how much difference that care has made.

I highly recommend chestnut to other parents my son started over a year ago after his old nursery closed down, the staff made us feel so welcome, my son settle in right away.the staff really took the time to get to know my child they know alot on what my child can and cant do in the fist few days,made me feel my son was valued. i have seen lot of improvements with my child speech and language since he's been at this nursery. Sadly my child leaving end of August to start reception he will definitely be missing seeing his teachers and friends. The staff have been amazing and I can not thank them enough for all the support love and care they have provided for my child. Charlie the manager is also on point. If I ever had a question or a query she would get back to me fast excellent communication on manager's side as well.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. It means a great deal to the whole team and I will pass on your comments.
We know how unsettling it must have been when your son's previous nursery closed, so we're really pleased he felt at home with us so quickly. Getting to know each child as an individual is something our staff care about deeply, and it's wonderful to hear how much progress he's made with his speech and language. That's down to him, and to the hard work of his key person and the team.
Thank you too for your kind words about Charlie. I'll make sure she and the team see your message.
We'll miss your son very much, and we wish him every success as he starts Reception. He'll always be part of the Chestnut Tree family, so please do pop in and say hello whenever you're passing.

I couldn't be happier with this nursery. The staff are amazing, caring, and treat every child as an individual. It truly feels like one big family. My little one is always so happy to go there and is excited to go back every day, which says everything about how much she loves it. The team gives every child the attention they need, especially those who are shy or need extra support. A special thank you to the manager, who is absolutely amazing. She is always kind, helpful, and supportive in every aspect. Choosing this nursery was the best decision for our family. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a warm, caring, and nurturing environment for their child.
I am so pleased to hear you are happy with the manager and our staff team and I will ensure to pass your comments onto them.

Looking for nurseries and schools is never easy for parents, especially when you are new to the area. Chestnut Tree Day Nursery was suggested by a friend and our daughter started attending when she was 11 months old - she is always very happy and smiley, learning a lot and really enjoying the time at the nursery. All other kids look very happy too, regardless the room they belong to.
The staff is lovely, always available and smiley, never in a rush, although I am sure days can be challenging at times.
A very nice environment where kids are looked after and loved unconditionally.
As a parent, I couldn't have made a better decision. Highly recommended!
I'm pleased you and your daughter are pleased with the nursery.
I will ensure I pass your comments onto the manager and staff team.

My son started attending Chestnut Tree Day Nursery in January 2026 and has settled in smoothly. The staff are friendly and welcoming too. I am particularly pleased with the activities and developmental support provided. In six months, my son's verbal skills have improved and many of the nursery activities are engaging. The nursery offers a wide variety of healthy meals and snacks which has been helpful in getting my son to explore new foods, tastes and textures. You definitely notice how much thought and attention goes into the structure of the nursery programmes - especially with planned trips to local areas such as the park, library etc. The garden is a bonus for my son who loves being outdoors!
Communication from the nursery is also exceptional which is reassuring for me as a parent. Overall, I would recommend Chestnut Tree Day Nursery to those looking for a nurturing place for their child to thrive in.
Thank you for your kind words and review of Chestnut Tree Day Nursery.

I became the owner of Chestnut Tree Day Nursery in October 2026. A local Londoner and as a new Dad myself, I understand how much trust parents place in finding the right nursery. I'm committed to building on the amazing qualities of what already makes Chestnut Tree such a special place for children and families.
I work very closely with our Nursery Manager, Charlie Perry, and the wider team, with a focus on supporting staff, investing in the setting and keeping families and the children at the heart of every decision. I'm always happy to chat with parents, so please do say hello!

Charlie’s story is a true Chestnut Tree story. She joined us at just 17 as an apprentice and has worked her way up through the nursery, gaining experience in every part of the setting before stepping up to lead it as Nursery Manager, a role she has held for the last few years.
Having started on the floor, Charlie knows the nursery inside out, from settling a nervous baby on their first day to preparing our pre-schoolers for the big move to school. That hands-on experience shapes the way she leads: she’s approachable, supportive of her team, and always focused on what’s best for each child. Charlie also plays a central role in keeping children safe and making sure our policies and practice meet the highest standards.
