Headstart Nursery and Pre-School - Upton is based in Chester and provides a fun, nurturing learning environment for children.
Staff take part in a continuous training and development programme, which extends and enhances their knowledge and practice. They support apprentices through training programmes and 'home grow' their team. A selection of staff members have completed Level 3 Forest School training. Makaton is of strong emphasis throughout the nursery and the nursery also has the Elklan accreditation which focuses on speech, communication and language.
The nursery offers a Forest School, providing lots of fun learning opportunities in the outdoor environment. These sessions take place three days per week, with the area being available throughout the week for each age group to access.
The children enjoy home-cooked food in the nursery's kitchen which is prepared from scratch using fresh local ingredients. It is also able to cater for special dietary and allergy requirements. The nursery loves children to learn about where their food comes from encouraging them to grow their own fruits and vegetables. Cooking is offered to the children weekly.
The nursery promotes children learning about the world around them and their community. They will visit local areas such as - Chester Zoo, the local library, parks and local shops.

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better nursery for our daughter. She absolutely loved her time there, and we always felt so happy and reassured knowing she was being so well looked after.

The staff are all such lovely, caring people and genuinely treated her like she was one of their own. You could always see how much they cared about her, and that meant so much to us as parents.
I genuinely cannot fault the nursery or the team at all. We're so grateful for everything they've done for our daughter and for making her time there so happy and special. We'll miss everyone so much!
Thankyou so much for your lovely feedback, the team love to see how parents truly fell, and its lovely for you to recognise all the staff. Wishing her all the very best.

Willows has been such a great step for my son, he has come on leaps and bounds with the wonderful ladies in that room. He is far more confident and seems to really look forward to nursery making drop off a pleasure. He comes home each day knowing more words and skills, it's so reassuring how obviously he is developing. Thank you willows!
Since starting I have noticed a big change in her needs, becoming more sociable.

I have experience of all the rooms at Headstart in Upton and I would recommend the nursery to others. The nursery employs great staff who are helpful and kind. They always do fun activities (including sport from external provider, forest school, trips out to library etc) and lots of outdoor play. The outdoor areas are great, with age appropriate climbing equipment and forest school. There is soft play equipment on site which is used now and then. Sleep in baby room is in an adjoined room which I think helps the babies to sleep well. The staff keep the children safe and have a safe collection and drop off system. Any queries you have are answered. We have been happy and would recommend the nursery.
My son is in Willows and he absolutely loves his one day a week in nursery. He always has so much fun and has a big smile on his face. He has come along and developed so well. His teachers are so kind and lovely. Blows them a kiss and waves at the end of the day. Such a lovely pleasant environment

Our experience with Seedlings and Willows has been fantastic. The staff are great, and really helped our son settle in. Our son loves going there everyday and enjoys all the activities and we can see his development. The admin side of things could be improved with regards to response times and queries but this is a minor point.
Thank you for your lovely review. Its nice to hear that your son enjoys his time with us.

Headstart Nursery has been caring for my two children for the past 5 years and I have always been happy and confident with the level of childcare provided. My children have always enjoyed going there. They are well cared for, fed delicious meals and given the opportunity to experience a vast range of age-appropriate activities that then set them up for school.
Fantastic nursery, always lots of different activities for the children to do. Kind and helpful staff, excellent communication. Really supportive when we decided to potty train. Use the app for regular messages, photos and updates.

One thing I would comment on is around the 30 free hours, my child attends 2 full days which is less than 30 hours, aware have to pay an additional 21 per day, but I feel the 30 hours should be split weekly as there could be an opportunity for her to attend another session if this was the case.
Fantastic nursery! We have used the nursery for both our children since they turned 1 so have experience of all the rooms. The staff really care about supporting the development of children and encouraging new experiences. I particularly like that they are taken on trips to the zoo and library for...

Both of my daughters have attended Headstart since they were babies and it is such a friendly and caring place. They are like an extended family for us! The staff are very caring and I have always been amazed that they can manage all the different needs of the children. The food they serve has a great variety and is full of vegetables and fruit. The daily activities are well planned to develop their understanding of the world and to be sensory as well as lots of fun. They have developed the forest school area a lot and use it regularly for minibeast hunts, climbing, balance and the mud kitchen. They also have lots of fun on trikes and the large play area round the back of the nursery. We have always enjoyed receiving little gifts that our girls have made to mark the seasons or cultural festivals and they love the themed parties and dress-up days. My oldest now loves going to the school holiday club and begs me to book her in more often!
All the staff have seemed lovely and have all been very caring and loving...
