We honestly can't thank the nursery enough for everything they have done for our family over the past five-plus years, first with our son and then our daughter. It has never felt like just a nursery - it has genuinely felt like a family. From the very beginning, we have always felt so welcomed, supported and part of something really special. We honestly cannot fault the staff; every single person is amazing and you can see just how much they care about the children. It's one of those places where you know your children are happy, loved and looked after, and that means absolutely everything to us as parents.
I genuinely wish our children could stay here forever, but unfortunately the system means that eventually we have to say goodbye! The new extension is looking absolutely amazing and I'm so gutted that we won't get to fully experience it, although I'm so excited to see the nursery continue to grow.

Would leave more stars if I could! Absolutely amazing nursery, can't speak highly enough of the staff. My little girl attended for approximately 18 months, only leaving because of a house move, and it was such a tough decision to move her because every single staff member has been amazing for my little girl, and she was so happy there. Thank you so so much for everything.
My little girl has an allergy and they were so accommodating for this as well, I felt confident leaving her here knowing she was being well looked after

Our little boy's nursery has become such an important part of our lives. From the very beginning, the team have shown so much support, compassion, and genuine positivity. As a family without relatives nearby, having a place that feels like part of our "village" means the world to us.
What really stands out is how much the staff truly care about the children. They always put my child first and show real enthusiasm for him as an individual.
Our little boy absolutely loves going to nursery and gets excited when we drop him off. I genuinely trust the team so much and feel so grateful for the care they give him. The home cooked meals, the varied activities, sensory play and animal visits are amazing but the staff is what makes this place really special.
Overall, we feel incredibly lucky to have found such a caring, supportive nursery that genuinely puts children at the heart of everything they do.

I was nervous at first that the nursery was smaller than others but I have been so pleasantly surprised. The staff are fantastic and everybody, regardless of their role comes together to care for the children when needed. I was so nervous about my son settling but they have been so flexible and understanding and my son now loves it there. They work around the child's needs rather than forcing a generic set of rules on all children and they cater to what each child needs to feel happy and safe. I haven't spoken to one member of staff and had a negative experience and I can't speak more highly of Amy, my son's key worker. She has reassured us as a family with her dedication and positivity. David and Vanessa have always welcomed check ins and phone calls when my son was settling, to help put my mind at ease. They go above and beyond. Once the facilities are expanded, this nursery will be even more lovely for families.
I would recommend this nursery to everyone without a doubt.

Chilton Meadows Nursery has been part of our parental journey since 2018! From the moment we went to visit the nursery, the warm and family focused environment was very appealing. Sadly, we have finished our journey at Moorside as our youngest child begins Reception. Both of our children have nothing but positive memories from their time spent at Chilton. From a parental perspective, I would like to take the time to praise the truly wonderful staff (both past and present) for their attentive, friendly and caring nature. It is really appreciated especially as a parent handing over your precious children. It was never in doubt that they were in very safe hands :) Finally, a special thank you to the manager! What a superb manager! No request is too big and she has been so supportive and reassuring, when dealing with medical issues regarding my daughter.
We will miss you Chilton!!
