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.

Following my recent review of Chestnut Tree Day Nursery, this has resulted in the Managing Director, terminating our contract with immediate effect. My son started attending the nursery in January 2022, four days a week. However, due to concerns about inadequate care, we switched to using two nurseries in November 2022 because the second nursery only had space for two days which never caused any confusion but rather a relief. The best efforts of the staff will only be to few kids, and a disproportionate staff-to-children ratio prevents them from providing the best possible care for all the children.
Since December the nursery has been without a manager. This high staff turnover, likely due to the stressful staff-to-children ratio, is a major concern which is not mainly due to the current staffing issues with early years. The council is aware of issues but nothing has changed. I hope this will prompt Ofsted to take action to safeguard the children.
↩Reply from Tony Jones, Managing Director at Chestnut Tree Day Nursery
We note the comments made, and always strive to work alongside any parent/carer to resolve any concern or issue raised with their child's care and development. Whilst recollections do vary, the reviewer will be fully aware that we worked alongside her and her child, but unfortunately, the situation became untenable.
We wish both the child and the reviewer well with their future childcare.

Our daughter started the nursery three or so months ago and attends two days a week. She is in the baby room. Our daughter settled very quickly and I think this was largely due to the very nurturing nature of the staff. Communication is fantastic and is made easier by use of an online app. Staff are very accommodating and are always open to hearing any concerns that might arise for parents. Any such concerns are then proactively and quickly resolved. Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and when we get there she leaps out of my arms and straight into the arms of whoever is there to greet us.
Dad and I have absolute faith and confidence that our daughter is safe and very happy at Chestnut Tree Day Nursery and are so grateful to all of the staff there for all their ongoing love and care.

Dear Megan, Thank you for such a lovely review. I am pleased that Chestnut Tree Nursery and our staff are to your liking. I will update the staff team and show them your review. Thank you again for taking the time to write such a lovely review and we are pleased that your daughter has enjoyed attending the nursery.

Our son has been going to this nursery for just under a year, he is in Tinies and attends 3 days a week and loves it. All the staff at the nursery are great, they make an effort to know all the children's names and parents even those that are not in their classes. Our son's development has come on so much in such a short amount of time, thanks to his room leader and all the wonderful staff he interacts with on a daily basis. We get daily updates and photos which really does give you peace of mind.

My daughter has been attending full time since January when she was 14 months. She had difficulty previously settling with a childminder and I was very worried about how she would cope. The staff at Chestnut Tree Day Nursery were amazing, especially the manager, deputy and baby room staff. They were so nurturing with her that after a week she was leaning out for them to take her and waving me off. I receive pictures throughout the day showing what she’s doing, and daily knowledgeable updates from the staff. She loves being at nursery and is so excited when she knows that’s where she’s going. The staff are what makes this nursery a truly fun and happy place, the care that is shown is above and beyond what I could have hoped for.

My daughter has settled in very well and loves all the staff. She has come a long way already. She is 2 and a bit delayed and possibly autistic and the nursery has been nothing but accommodating for her. They work closely with her and I have noticed she is picking a few things up. She doesn’t usually play with other children but she has just started to join in with the other children in her room. She is also a fussy eater but has started to try all different types of food when at nursery which is great! We are definitely going to apply for her to go up to the preschool room when she turns 3 as we all love it there! She has grown very close to one of the staff members in particular and I love seeing their bond when I pick her up!

I was very nervous at first while settling down my 15-months-old child after the second lockdown because she hasn't seen anyone other than dad and granny. The staff took really good care of her, and she settled quite well. Even though she attends only twice a day, she has learnt so many things, and more importantly, she doesn't cry when she sees strangers anymore. I can see she is more interactive and improved on her gesture. The nursery also provides emergency childcare session, which is very handy for me as I don't need to worry about finding another place or friends or family to look after my child in case I need to leave her on a day other than her usual days.

Both my children have attended Chestnut Tree from 9-months and 10-months. One has since left to go to primary school, and my youngest is currently there. As a family, we have been using this nursery for 5-years and have always been very happy with the standard of care and learning our children have received. My youngest is thriving, and feel he has become well prepared for primary school admission in September 2021 thanks to the nursery and its staff. My sons first words to me on collecting him at the end of the day are always ‘I had fun!’. We’re so pleased to have sent our children here and can highly recommend it to anyone considering it for their children.

My daughter started at the nursery at about 7-months-old, and I was a bit sceptical, particularly as this was at the heart of the pandemic. I was really reassured by the staff at the start, but I knew the proof would be the impact on my daughter's life. I am so impressed by her development in such a short period of time. There is a real emphasis on engaging each child and focusing on skills, which in my opinion, set them apart from other children. Her room leader/deputy manager is fantastic and has helped draw our daughter out and participate fully in all aspects of nursery life. I am so impressed by the difference it has made to her life, and I truly commend all the staff members as you are all amazing! Thank you for all your hard work!

Absolutely thrilled with this nursery. My daughter started at the beginning of this month. She is 20-months and hasn't spent a single hour without us so, I was really anxious about leaving her. The staff did an absolutely fantastic job! My kid is actually waving bye in the morning while jumping in one of the staff's arms. I can see her developing and growing more confident with each session she spends there (only 3x a week). The staff are great, and I am very pleased with the way they treat the kids.

Our son started at Chestnut Tree when he was just five months old, and now at nearly five years old, he is set to leave for big school at the end of this month, confident and fully prepared for his next chapter. There have been a few changes at the nursery over the years he has attended, but management have kept us informed every step of the way and have given us plenty of opportunities to voice any concerns or ideas for improvement. We have always been made to feel included and our son has formed a close bond with the staff and other children. I would highly recommend this nursery for parents looking for a safe place for their children to be cared for and gain independence and all the relevant skills required for primary school.

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.
