Review from A S (Mother of Child) published on 2 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I initially joined this nursery for my LO via the recommendation of my sister and nephew. I can confidently say I was not let down. This is a private nursery and you definitely get what you pay for. The attention and care I have felt for my child from each member of staff was exceptional. I was kept
informed of all aspects of my daughter's time and growth there. Any bumps/issues were reported to me promptly. There was continuous open communication between myself and the office. Regular class updates so I knew exactly what my child needed or was doing/learning that month and week. They also have a webcam which added to my assurance of her well-being. I would definitely recommend !

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started in the baby room at 18 months old and is now leaving to go to reception. She has gained so much confidence and has a real passion for learning. She loves to get messy and always says she has had a great day. All the staff are lovely and they are very friendly and have made my daughter
feel very safe while at nursery. She has even told me she doesnt want to go to big school and wants to stay at nursery.

Can't rate chuckles high enough. Sent my little boy here in 2021 after a bad experience at another nursery, my daughter then started in 2023. Both children love it and it's a fight to get them to leave at the end of the day. The staff are amazing with the children. They have both learned so much. Thank
you so much to all the staff.

Review from N H (Mother of Child) published on 20 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An absolute gem of a nursery. Not only have they nurtured my child but also provided me with invaluable guidance on "how to bring a growing fetus up without a manual guide".
Provides a personable, kind, considerate, environment with the additional flexibility of treating children to extras that other
daycare nurseries won't due to staying within their budget spending.
Cannot praise them enough. If you are reading the reviews, then no need to read others. Sign your child up!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brilliant nursery. Used them for my first daughter in 2018. Felt so comfortable and happy I sent my second born in 2023. They've brought both My girls on leaps and bounds. Go above and beyond. The setting is very comfortable and feels like a family. Felt such at ease. The staff are brilliant and some
have become very good friends. Thank you for everything you all do.

Review from Roxy I (Mother of Child) published on 6 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Last year, I removed my son from a nursery that couldn't meet his needs. I was nervous about the transition, especially after a bad experience, but from my first call with the manager at Chuckles, I felt so comfortable and heard.
Chuckles is phenomenal. They have worked miracles with my little boy.
The SenCo lady went above and beyond to help him. He was on an IEP plan and met all targets within a year. My son went from speaking 2 words to full sentences within months. He is flourishing.
The team are the best. They love their jobs and make you feel at ease. They are supportive and work with you.
My son's key worker is his best friend and I can see how much of a bond they have and how much she's helped him develop.
Every day, my son receives the best care and attention at Chuckles. He comes home with new drawings, baked biscuits, and most importantly joy and confidence. What was once a shy toddler has become a sweet, smart, and confident young boy, thanks to Chuckles.
Reply from Faye Wilson, Owner at Chuckles Private Day Nursery
Oh, thank you so much for your kind words. We are so happy we have helped with his development. We are all so proud of how he has come on since starting with us.

My little boy has been attending Chuckles since September 2022. All the staff are polite, respectful, friendly and most importantly understanding.
Thank you for taking care of my boy, and for always being so reassuring. My little boy has picked up a range of skills, he is happy and has so much fun
at Chuckles.
The facilities are fantastic, staff are amazing, I am so glad I am sending him here, massive peace of mind for me. Compared to other nurseries Chuckles goes above and beyond for parents and their children. Thank you for everything you do.

Review from Dora (Mother of Child) published on 7 June 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Chuckles for nearly three years. He really enjoys playing with his friends and learning new things. The nursery itself is a fun and bright environment and I think it provides the backdrop for more effective learning. All the teachers are brilliant, they care about the children
and form close relationships with them, understanding their likes and dislikes. Many of the staff have been there a long time and are very experienced, this is something that appealed to me greatly. There's also a camera for your piece of mind.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.769)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.769) out of 10 for Chuckles Private Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.969 for Chuckles Private Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.969
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chuckles Private Day Nursery is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 8 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
