Chestnut Nursery School @ John Perry

The nursery is clean, has lots of activities to offer and a perfect environment for my son to strive. I highly recommend Chestnut Nursery School.

I really recommend this nursery!

My son also was there for 2 years and really loved the nursery and learned lots of new things.

Amazing nursery amazing staff. My son graduated last year now my daughter started to attend. Everything is amazing. Highly recommended. Food is suitable for everyone and every religion. Staff is always helpful with any kind of inquiry.

Great nursery, staff are really friendly, organised and dedicated, to the care of children. Always sending necessary updates and information, and always helping to look after and educate children. Good communication with parents about the child’s day and progress.

My baby girl has been in this nursery since 5 months ago, and it took a few weeks for her to get settled, but thanks to the staff, she got used to it and now she is happy and walks with pleasure. The manager is a professional, and 7 years ago she took exemplary care of my daughter with special needs, and as a manager, she does an extraordinary job.

A great nursery all round, well-trained, friendly and polite staff take good care of the children. The children can't wait to go in and are super excited to tell me all about their day when they come out.

The nursery do a variety of activities and my daughter always talks about them. My child seems to be happy to come to nursery. The care and development of my children is brilliant. I always feel confident that my child is in good hands at this nursery.

I started my daughter here about 10 months ago just before she turned 1 and they have been nothing short of amazing. They have a great space and equipment both inside and out and the staff are super friendly and knowledgable. They have a great relationship with my girl and she enjoys going there, they update the portal every day unlike some other Nurserys so I can see what and how much she has eaten, slept etc and once a month I get a few pictures and an overview of what they’ve been doing. I cannot recommend them enough!

My daughter is always well looked after, she has a great bond with her key person and she feels happy/safe. The settling period was difficult as my child was very clingy to me but staff at Chestnut were patient and compassionate towards us as a family now she’s confident, happy and thriving.

I would highly recommend Chestnut Nursery.

My daughter has been at John Perry Nursery for over 2 years and she has truly blossomed during her time at this nursery! Everything from her social skills to her vocabulary have come on faster than I ever imagined. The staff are so welcoming to both parents and children and it is easy to address any queries or questions about my daughter's day to day learning. I can't praise all the ladies enough for all their work with my daughter, especially the lady that my daughter says shes her best friend! She had a tough start but she was given so much attention to accomodate and now not a day is gone to not want to go to nursery and we look forward to seeing how she grows in the next year!

In my experience with my son's teachers, they went above and beyond at all times. Great staff; good communication skills and always happy to help. They are just a wonderful team. They update the app regularly, which is a great tool that helps me know what to do and how to do it. I will definitely recommend them.

My child loves John Perry Chestnut Nursery. He went with pleasure and met a lot of friends. The food is healthy, my child is a fussy eater but ate in nursery. The staff are nice and helpful, provide support, with advice during children's development.

Unfortunately, an incident happened at the nursery where my son reported that the head of the toddler room dragged him by his hood and he fell and put him on a timer. He was upset about it. I addressed it with the manager who said she would investigate. She then came back and said she investigated and it didn't happen but there was no way she could have known this so they basically called my son a liar. I escalated to another manager who said the same thing. I sent him back as I had work and had no choice but they promised to at least change his key worker. The manager said to him when he wouldn't say bye - why don't you speak now, you had a lot to say to mummy at home. He came home really upset the next day saying his key worker is not speaking to him which I found to be really unprofessional and sad that she would take ignore him as he doesn't understand why his key worker had been changed. Removed him immediately as the staff was just unprofessional in how they handled the whole situation.

My son has been attending the nursery since he was 1 year old and thanks to the support, care and staff dedication he achieved many milestones in his development. The nursery nurses are always very helpful, approachable and comparative. They have helped me to overcome the difficulties with sleeping routine and potty training my son had. I highly recommend Chestnut Nursery as a great place for children to start their learning journey.

My daughter has been attending Chestnut Nursery School for over two years now, the improvement we have seen in her is unbelievable, she was initially really shy and very reserved but since joining Chestnut she has flourished so much in her confidence. She loves all the teachers, they are all so friendly and really caring. I cannot fault this daycare. Absolutely amazing.

All my children have been to Chestnut Nursery, the staff members are so attentive, kind and protective over all the children. The safeguarding and overall care for my children have been amazing. Very informative and it's comforting to see close bonds between my children and their staff members. I have a high level of trust for my children to be in their care and all my recommendations for my children's care have always been respected and implemented. Overall the nursery and its staff are amazing and I cannot fault them especially when it comes to my children's safety and their upkeep.

Attending nursery has helped my son a lot in his development, he is much calmer and listens more. He looks forward to coming in which shows how much he enjoys attending nursery. The staff and manager are all lovely, approachable and kind. They always give updates regarding my child's day in the nursery, and what they have eaten and are always happy to answer any questions I have. Overall I am very happy with the nursery.

Due to the lack of regular updates, issues with the app, and very minimal mention of activities, I would say it isn't great value for money. But my son enjoys it, and the staff are great.
