Chestnut Nursery School @ St Giles

Chestnut in St Giles is a lovely nursery with a caring, nurturing environment. We placed both our children here from nine months and the benefits the nursery has had on their social and communication skills have been incredible. One child is currently at the setting and is thriving. The staff are very approachable and seem to take a real interest in the children.

Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Giles has been a fantastic start to our son's time at nursery. Our son started at 12 months and was going in four days a week and, like many first-time parents, we were nervous and anxious about this next chapter. However, the team leads were amazing at listening to all of our concerns and were able to accommodate all of our requests, including and not limited to little things like lots of cuddles, extra moisturisation when changing nappies and keeping his bib dry. The proof of their great care and attention was how quickly our son was able to settle, adapt and enjoy going to nursery! We would highly recommend this nursery and encourage any first-time parents to be vocal about their child's needs as the nursery is so good at taking this into account and making sure your child enjoys and thrives in their care.

St Giles Nursery is such a wonderful place and environment for little ones to be in. My little one has learnt so much, is so confident and so smiley every day. Thank you to everyone. You are always more than happy to help and support parents as well as the children. The rooms are well equipped with lots of activities and being updated with photos is such a wonderful thing to receive.

My little boy started in August 2022 aged 13 months. At first, I was slightly worried about the outdoor space as it is quite small for the babies and there were some elements that looked like it could be refurbished in the little garden. However, my son has loved playing in it and I realised now you don't necessarily need a lot of space for the babies outdoors. Care and learning have been fantastic, all the staff have been brilliant and my son loves the food. I feel his speech and personality have come on a lot more since starting nursery. The only downside I would say is that we don't get a lot of photos posted on the app, especially in the early days when he first started as it would have been more reassuring but this is the only negative, we are loving the nursery.

Nursery staff are very friendly and welcoming. My son likes to go to nursery. He is saying "Beautiful nursery ". My kid learned lots of new words and rhymes from nursery. Location of nursery is very near the city.

My daughter has been attending ST Giles for over a year now. And wow. She has been taught so many amazing things and has been so, so supported. We struggled with separation anxiety, potty training and everything you can imagine and the team in the Willow room especially made sure I was heard and catered for. My daughter loves nursery and the activities that they provide! I always feel comfortable reaching out to the manager. Thank you!

Our child has been at Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Giles for over two years and has thrived. The staff are friendly and welcoming, our child has formed great relationships with the staff and other children there. She has been supported in learning both academic basics (e.g. numbers and letters), but also emotional resilience. The monthly themes are tied together and well thought out and the communication with the best is good.

I am extremely pleased with this nursery. My child has improved a lot. There are so many things she has learned from this nursery. I am really grateful to all the staff.

Thank you to all the staff there, would highly recommend!

A massive thank you to everyone for being so amazing!

We are happy to have sent our daughter to Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Giles. The staff are lovely and caring whilst professional, organised and keen to encourage the children to flourish. The food they provide is varied and healthy. They are in an excellent, city-centre location which suits us very well, and their various rooms are well-resourced. The Parentzone app is a great way to keep up with how our child is getting on in the day, and they update it regularly throughout the day. We remember the worried feeling of sending our little daughter to nursery for the first time, but we are glad that we've chosen St Giles nursery as they have put our fears at ease.

I can't recommend this nursery enough, they are doing an amazing job under tough circumstances. The staff are nurturing and friendly. My child loves going to nursery and constantly talks about it at home.

Both our sons attend Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Giles and are extremely happy there. The staff are always helpful, professional and polite and always have a happy, welcoming face for the children. The space is compact but pleasant. Both my children seem happy and stimulated by their days spent at the nursery. I would also like to say how well and sensitively the staff have managed all the changes and safeguarding measures that have had to be put in place as a result of Covid.

I would not hesitate to recommend Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Giles, such a special place.

Our 2 boys are currently attending Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Giles, our oldest started in early 2020 and our youngest started last September. We are really satisfied with the service provided and the professionalism of the staff and management; this has been especially notable during Covid times. The staff show a keen interest in the wellbeing of the kids and the feedback is always useful. Kids are also very well catered for with a wide ranging menu. We would certainly recommend this nursery.

Our son has been at the nursery since he was 9 months and is now in the preschool room so you can see we are extremely happy with the nursery! As he has progressed and moved rooms the staff have always built up a great relationship with him which has reassured both him and us each time he moved up. His confidence has definitely grown and they have also helped with his development in the activities they do and encourage. The staff are all fantastic and warm and welcoming and he loves to go to nursery which is the biggest testament to the environment they have created.

My twin sons have attended this nursery from 10 months old - they are now 18 months. My experience throughout that time has been excellent. The staff take huge care to help the children settle and to really get to know the children. It feels like a really genuine, passionate set of people working there who want the best for the kids in their care, and where genuine bonds are formed between the kids and their nursery staff. Throughout lockdown, the nursery has also been great - careful and very clear about what is required without losing that personal touch. I'm so glad I chose this nursery for my boys.

As we say though, the staff are great and positive developments in our children did take place.

I would not hesitate to recommend Chestnut St Giles. Our daughter has been attending since she was nine months old, and there years later she still loves every day she attends. The staff are so caring and keep us well informed. They do lots of lovely activities and eat a well-balanced diet. Our daughter has thrived there and we will be very sad when its time for her to leave.

Really lovely nursery and our daughter loves it here. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and you can tell the wellbeing of the children is their top priority. They follow a curriculum suitable to your child's age and keep you up to date on progress and provide lots of engaging activities.
