Chestnut Nursery School @ St Giles

Chestnut nursery on St Giles has been a great experience for my Daughter since joining in 2024. The staff are very friendly and they really seem to care about the children. The daily activities are engaging and fun and the updates provided through the app are really nice to see. The environment is calm and the children always look happy when I drop off and collect my child. I would recommend Chestnuts nursery on St Giles, it has been really positive for us.

The staff are always very helpful and let me know how she's progressing development wise.

Both of my children have attended Chestnut Nursery School @ St. Giles and my wife and I have always found the staff so caring and invested in our children's development. They are always planning interesting activities and go above and beyond organising some excellent events outside of nursery times, allowing us to visit the nursery and speak to staff. My daughter has recently left to start school and we feel she was very well prepared, with Chestnut really helping prepare her and help with the transition. Thanks to all at Chestnut Nursery School @ St. Giles.

My wife and I recently had our first child and we're nervous about taking her to a nursery, but it has been one of the best things we have done. Our daughter spends two days a week at nursery and her development has been amazing with her confidence also growing. The staff at Chestnut Nursery really put in the effort with her and it shows. It is so nice to know that we can leave our daughter in such a positive environment.

She has learnt so much since joining and I love that she is exposed to new experiences, such as this week they had a specialist visit with exotic animals.

It feels like they're in the right place to really be set up for when they start school.

We have been very happy with the care they have given the kids and feel measured they are in a safe environment.

As parents, we feel confident that Chestnut is the best choice we made for them.

We trust Chestnuts Nursery School @ St Giles with our son's daycare. He attends 3 days a week and loves going. We receive regular updates and any concerns are acted upon and followed up by carers at the end of the day, even if the drop off member of staff is different to the person we collect from, so it feels like information is effectively communicated around the team. If we move from Chestnuts, it will be for a nursery closer to our home, but we find the location very convenient for the city at present.

Our experience with Chestnut Nursery School @ St. Giles has been absolutely wonderful. The staff are caring and attentive, creating a warm and nurturing environment for our daughter. The facilities are clean, safe, and well-equipped with engaging activities that foster learning and creativity. Communication is excellent, and it's clear the team is dedicated to each child's development and happiness. We're so grateful to have found such a fantastic nursery!

I just want to thank every single staff member for all your hard work and support.

Really lovely nursery my daughter has been there a year now and loves it, the staff are lovely and my daughter really enjoys going. I am really glad that I chose this nursery! My youngest will be coming up to this nursery when she is 2 and I know she will love it as well.

My experience of Chestnut Nursery School, St Giles could not have been more positive. I have had two children attend, the second is currently in the toddler room. All the staff have been incredibly nurturing, supportive and accommodating. They have worked hard to get to know my children as individuals and supported them to feel safe and make leaps of development whilst in their care. Communication is excellent and the food/chef does a wonderful job with well balanced home cooked meals.

We are very happy with our children's experiences at Chestnut Nursery. They are always happy to go and are thriving in their development. The staff are kind, caring and always put the children as their top priority. Through the years, we have seen their investment in resources to keep developing the nursery. Would highly recommend to other families.

My son's development has come a long way since starting at this nursery, he has created such wonderful friendships, he talks about his day and it always sounds so much fun. I can't recommend this nursery enough. Thank you Chestnut Team.

Chestnut Nursery School @ St Giles is a lovely nursery. Our child has been there 2 and a half years, and we've had a really positive experience. The staff are warm and friendly, and show a genuine interest in the children and their well being. They have a gentle Montessori and child-led approach to their care and curriculum. The key workers throughout the years/rooms have always been brilliant at helping our child feel at ease, and have formed lovely bonds. They do have a small outdoor space, but utilise it really effectively and our child loves it. Staff communication is really good, both in-person and via the app/emails. We would recommend St Giles to anyone considering it.

My little girl has been going to this nursery since she was 11 months old. I am really happy with this nursery and all the staff. If there is something, they always help. She has learned a lot here. Thank you.

Chestnut Nursery St Giles is such a wonderful nursery! The staff are so welcoming, friendly and always go the extra mile to make sure that your little one is well looked after. From the very first settle-in sessions, you are made to feel valued as a parent. The staff always listen to any questions or queries that you may have. Our child has settled into nursery well and the key worker is brilliant - she keeps me updated on the day to day activities (through the parent app) and is always there to give a cuddle and some reassurance to our child if needed throughout the day. This really helps us feel at ease and happy that our little one is being well looked after. I’d thoroughly recommend this nursery to anyone with children!

Lovely, supportive nursery, great food and good communication home. Outdoor space is more limited compared to some other nurseries due to their city centre location but they use the space they do have very effectively and the children love it!

Both of my children have attended Chestnut, and both have been well looked after during their time there. From eight months through to five years old, my children have had the support they need. Preschool was fantastic for my eldest, and we found he was ahead of the curve with respect to counting and writing when he transitioned to school. The staff have really cared about supporting my children developmentally and emotionally. The EYFS framework implementation provides a really clear view of development, and the way it was used within the nursery setting allowed me as a parent to target our learning outside of the nursery. The use of the parent app allows me to keep up to date with my child's day, and I found the staff updated it frequently.
