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.

I adore the team at the nursery. They truly care for every child's development and imagination. My son can now recognise words and read them aloud when we are spending time together. Their outdoor garden has plenty of cover so for rainy days the children can still have plenty of time outside. We saw a few different facilities in the local area - Chestnut tree is the top by far! In their facilities AND the staff.
I will ensure that your comments are passed onto the Manager and all of the staff team for you.
I pleased to hear that your son is progressing well and enjoys his time at nursery.

Before our daughter started in September 2024, we visited eight nurseries, and we are so glad we chose Chestnuts. The staff have been incredible-supportive, welcoming, and attentive to our needs-making her transition smooth and comfortable. She has bonded wonderfully with the team and is thriving in her learning and development. The nursery makes excellent use of their space and always has engaging activities and themed days. Our daughter proudly comes home with her artwork, and we couldn't be happier with the care she receives. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for leaving your review. I will pass onto my staff team your comments, and am pleased to hear that you are happy with your daughter's progress at Chestnut Tree Day Nursery.

Our daughter has been attending Chestnuts since August 2024 and she really has excelled being here. Chestnuts is great throughout the whole system. The staff are attentive and work hard to create strong bonds with the children. The management are always open to listening to parents and providing information when necessary too. Our daughter specifically takes time to settle and develop those bonds with people. The staff at Chestnuts have always given her the space and time to do it her way and supported her in every way to achieve that goal. I am very pleased to say she is now comfortable and that is due to the time and effort from those within the nursery. As a parent it is very important to know and feel comfortable with those looking after your children away from home and I can definitely say we feel that with Chestnuts :)

Since my grand daughter joined Chestnut Tree Day Nursery, she had developed a lot in confidence, self expression, speech and language. My grand daughter started at this nursery when she was 2years old. Staff have supported my baby to be toilet trained. I love this nursery because the manager and staff love the children and staff support the children to meet their needs which I find very impressive. Parents are updated on the child's day daily and treated with respect.
Thank you for your comments and review, which is greatly appreciated.
I will ensure that your review is passed onto the Manager and staff team at the nursery.

It has been an incredible journey so far, choosing Chestnut is the best decision I made. My daughter is always looking forward to her next day at the nursery, she enjoys every moment there.
The entire staff are so friendly, supportive and approachable.
The nursery is neat, organised and spacious. During her early days at the nursery, I was a bit worried on how a 10 months baby will cope but the regular updates ( notes and pictures) on the portal gave me peace of mind and kept me reassured. If need be, the staff are always on their toes to give me a call in case of any concerns.
My daughter feels so comfortable at the nursery and she has developed so quickly.
I just want to use this opportunity to say a big thank you to Charlie and her super team. I am grateful and appreciate your hard work.
I couldn’t be more happier, Chestnut Nursery the best choice

From the moment we joined this nursery, it has been a nurturing and supportive environment for my child. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive to all the children, ensuring each one feels valued and safe. My child has flourished immensely, starting from not even crawling (8months old) to now running around with confidence and joy. It's evident that the children are taught with love and compassion, as they show kindness for one another. The freshly made food on the premises is an added bonus, ensuring the children receive nutritious meals. Additionally, the prompt updates about my child's progress have been greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for an enriching environment for their child.

My son started at this nursery when he was 10 months old and I was incredibly hesitant about beginning this journey. However, the staff were so reassuring during his settling-in period, which made a big difference. Once my son became familiar with the staff and the environment, he quickly grew happy and comfortable here.
The updates/ communication throughout the day is fantastic. For me, this has been incredibly important and is one of the main reasons I truly appreciate this nursery.
In fact, I removed my son from the waitlist of my original first-choice nursery after seeing how settled and happy he was here. That decision should speak volumes about the quality of care and environment provided at Chestnut.
Thank you for your review. I am pleased you are so pleased with our nursery and the staff and that your son has settled in so well.I will update the manager and staff team of your comments.Thank you.

The activities are thoughtfully planned, encouraging creativity, learning and fun. Communication is great, staff keep us updated on progress and are always approachable for any questions.
It's clear that the children are at the heart of everything they do. We would highly recommend Chestnut Tree Day Nursery to any parent looking for a safe and supportive place for their child to grow and thrive.
Thank you for your wonderful comments and review. I am so pleased that your child has settled in well and enjoying their time at Chestnut tree Day Nursery, I will inform the manager and the staff team of your comments.
My daughter has been attending the nursery since March 2024, and she loves it. After the third day, she was happy to stay there. She loves her teachers and the staff. She also made friends, which proves the positive environment there.

My daughter has been attending Chestnut Tree since last year (March); she started in the tot's room, and she has received the best care. The staff are kind, caring and supportive - they do lovely activities to stimulate effective learning. My daughter has learnt so many new skills; they even supported her with potty training too, so can’t fault the care in any way. Me and my husband are glad we chose Chestnut for our little girl. I’ve also recommended this nursery to my brother, so five stars from us.
Thank you.

My daughter started nursery in May 2022 and she absolutely loves it! We get so many updates throughout the day so I always know what she’s been doing. When we mention “nursery” at home my daughter insists on looking through the photos of herself on the app and laughs away to herself so I know she is very happy. The staff are lovely and very approachable, always doing different activities with the children. Very glad we went with chestnut tree!
Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful comments made about the nursery and my staff team. I am glad that you and your daughter enjoy Chestnut Tree Day Nursery. I have passed your review onto the manager and asked her to show the staff team.

Our daughter started with Chestnut Tree Day Nursery three months ago and she loves it! As our first child, we didn't know what to expect from a nursery but the staff have been nothing but welcoming to us and to our baby especially. The amount of activities they do with her is brilliant - she is always bringing home pictures and paintings and knows all of the actions to the nursery rhymes. Would definitely recommend them.
Thank you for your kind words and review. I am pleased that your daughter has settled in at Chestnut Tree Day Nursery and is enjoying her time with us. I will ensure to pass on your comments to my staff team. Thank you. Managing Director.
My daughter started attending Chestnut Tree Day Nursery in April 2023 and I couldn't be happier with our choice. The staff are all friendly, approachable and you can see that the children really do love them too. I am kept informed during the day with photos, when she is sleeping and get a daily...
My little one actually squeals when she sees where we are going in the morning, and you can't ask for more reassurance than that!
Thank you for your review and kind words. I will pass your comments on to the manager and her staff team.
I’m so glad I chose Chestnut Tree Day Nursery for my daughter, she’s been here now for nearly three months and she has settled down so well, I’m really pleased with her progress, the staff are brilliant with her.

Overall, I love leaving my daughter in the fabulous care of the nursery for the day and she always comes home smiling and happy and well-fed.
Thank you for your recent review. We will ensure the staff are appraised of the contents and your appreciative words.
I am pleased to hear that your daughter is happy and settled at Chestnut Tree.
My son started going to Chestnut Tree just after his first birthday. I was very nervous at first as English is not our first language and he did not walk at the time, but the staff has been absolutely amazing. He absolutely loves the nursery and his general motor skills, speech, social skills and...
If you are nervous to get your little one started at a nursery, do yourself and themselves a favour and sign them up in the Chestnut Tree nursery, because the staff are absolutely amazing. I can see teachers holding and soothing kids on a daily basis so you can be sure that if your little one is upset, they will be physically held by a teacher and soothed.
We are very grateful that you took the time to leave us a review. I know the manager and her staff team will appreciate your comments and kind words. We look forward to continuing to work with you and your family at Chestnut Tree Day Nursery.
My son has been attending this nursery for over two years now and he loves it, he is always happy to go in and very happy when I pick him up too! Very supportive and understanding staff members and great management now too

They enjoy the activities and food. My 2 year old loves the snacks and lunches they provide. Thank you so so much for the kindness and for always going the extra mile. The manager has always been so understanding when I've had personal issues and supported us in any way possible. I would highly recommend this nursery after trying many others. My kids always come out with clean faces, full tummies and tired from all the different daily activities. A big thanks to all
Thank you for your review and I will ensure that the staff team are updated accordingly. Our staff team and nursery will be pleased to hear your appreciative comments, as they work hard to ensure that all children enjoy their time at nursery and are well cared for.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since August 2022 and is in the baby room. From the moment I came to view it, I felt the warmth that radiates from this nursery. One member of staff is great, and you can see how much she cares for the children; she is always there if you have any queries or concerns and will always act on anything you ask for care-wise. My daughter's key person is lovely and caring, and I can see my daughter has a good relationship with her. There are also other staff members I see that are always friendly and helpful. The staff are a good reflection of the management and the company itself. I love the app, as I can see what she's up to all day, which is lovely. So happy my daughter is happy, and I would highly recommend this nursery.
On behalf of the staff team and myself, I would like to thank you for your review. I will ensure that the staff team will be notified of your appreciative comments and thank you for taking the time to submit your review.

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.
