Review from A F (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of my Daughters attend Chuckles, and their smiles when they walk through those doors to when we pick them up, says it all.
From the moment we viewed chuckles, we knew this is where the girls were going. The staff were extremely informative, the environment was amazing, answered any and all of our questions and reassured us throughout the whole process.
We get daily updates regarding toileting, meals and direct contact to the room staff via their app. In the early days, this was so reassuring to know we could pop a message and see how they were getting on in their settling in sessions.
All staff we have encountered have been fabulous. They're friendly, approachable and genuinely show they care.
I would like to know the trick to eating and nap times, because wow they have the nack!
For any parent who have children with suspected ALN, please know the management will be with you every step of the way, and are so supportive.

To all the staff, thank you will never be enough!xx

Overall Experience

We're so overly grateful for being able to put our daughter into Chuckles. We are first time parents and we're so nervous about this new start. Our daughter has thrived being in chuckles and the staff are absolutely fantastic. We couldn't have been any happier with our choice. We're sad that she is moving on to school in Sept and leaving these guys behind.

My daughter has been attending Chuckles since she was 8 months old, and wow - what an incredible experience it has been! The staff are truly exceptional, and the nursery grounds are beautiful. They're always finding new ways to improve and create an even better environment for the children.
I've never had any worries or concerns when leaving my daughter in their care, and she is always so happy and excited to go in each day.

Chuckles Nursery will always have my highest recommendation!

Review from Vicky F (Mother of Child) published on 5 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't have chosen a better place than Chuckles Nursery for our daughter.

She has been attending since she was 9 months old and is about to leave for reception at 4 years old, which feels like such a huge and emotional milestone for us. From the very beginning, she has absolutely loved going. She adores all of her "Aunties" and always comes home happy and clearly has so much fun.

We had concerns about her speech and spoke to nursery about this. They were incredibly supportive and arranged one to one support for her. The progress she has made has been amazing and I'm so grateful.

Knowing how happy and settled she was made going back to work after maternity leave so much easier.

We will be so sad to say goodbye. She is more than ready for big school, but I don't think I am ready for her to leave just yet! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chuckles to anyone.

Thank you so much for everything you've done for our little girl! We are going to miss you all xx

Overall Experience

My son has attended Chuckles since he was 11 months old and it's a shame he has to leave to go to school as he will miss it so much. All the staff there are amazing with both the children and parents, we have never had any issues. The outside space really sold this nursery when viewing, the kids are outside whenever possible and it's such a lovely area for them to play. My son has progressed amazingly throughout the years and I give all credit to the nursery workers. Thank you so much everyone at Chuckles x

Overall Experience
My son has been attending this nursery since September, and we are very happy with this experience.
From the very beginning, the staff have been welcoming, professional and incredibly caring. They create a safe, nurturing and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. It is clear how much dedication and effort the team puts into their work every day.
My son is always happy to go to nursery, which gives us great reassurance as parents. We truly appreciate the care, attention and kindness shown to both the children and families.

I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a warm, reliable and supportive setting for their child.

Review from Caycë H (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Chuckles Nursery for 9 months and she loves it!
All the staff are lovely and helpful.
I get daily updates on the app and frequently get observations to read with pictures, it's really nice as a parent to be kept in the loop on my child's progress!
We sign at home and since being at Chuckles, my little girl has come on so much and knows so many more signs and words, her speech is amazing!
She eats all her food( some of which she refuses at home) she does lots of crafts and different activities!

Overall I'm very pleased we chose Chuckles and would recommend to everyone looking for a nursery

Review from Gemma H (Mother of Child) published on 28 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has just started at Chuckles and had been slightly reluctant leaving me and my partner especially when we would leave the house and he wouldn't be coming. The staff at chuckles have been brilliant - my son has settled in lovely in the baby room and is so happy whilst he's there. Staff send pictures and give a little update on how his day is to put our minds at rest (but this is standard - we did not need to ask).
They have a wide variety of toys to play with and you'd be stuck finding a nursery with better outdoor space. They go outside every day for fresh air which was so important to me.
When I've had concerns about how to get more water or feeding my son the staff have been able to provide guidance for this.
We use their flexible hours - paying for 9 hours instead of the standard 5hr morning/ afternoon or 10hr day.

I would recommend this nursery to anyone - it's great!

Review from Charlotte D (Mother of Child) published on 28 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As first time parents find a nursery felt really daunting and nerve wracking however the aunties at chuckles immediately made us feel welcome on a visit.
As soon as we stepped inside the nursery we knew it was perfect!
Our Son also had some settling in sessions prior to his start date and he settled in from day one, there were no tears!
Chuckles has made our sons first month so smooth and fun, he is always so excited to go in and comes out smiling every time!
The aunties at Chuckles give daily updates and photos via a secure app which has made the transition of us returning to work so much more comforting seeing that he's having a great day!
They're so supporting of all transitions thus far from walking, changing from formula ro cows milk and helping our son with eating with cutlery.

We are so excited for our sons journey with Chuckles, we know we have definitely chosen the right nursery. We can see how they have come so many awards!

Review from Emma M (Mother of Child) published on 26 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter is in her final week at Chuckles after attending for the past three years. I can't review the nursery highly enough, we both think it's absolutely brilliant. She comes home happy every day and looks forward to going. All of the staff are lovely and have made it such a warm, encouraging and fun experience for her.
Chuckles regularly invite parents to the nursery for sports and activity days and cookery so we get to see and experience some of their days with them.

My daughter has developed so well during her time at the nursery and made so many friends.

Overall Experience
Absolutely amazing nursery. From day one my daughter have been looked after by the most amazing aunties who I feel will forever play a part in some amazing memories. She has learnt so much and grown into a very polite young lady looking forward to her next journey of school.
From the greetings at the door, the activities that very much organisation and thought goes in to down to the cooks that prepare delicious home cooked meals/snacks for the children. Everything is amazing!!

Thank you all so much for this wonderful journey and part you've played in my child's time with you.

Fantastic nursery. The ladies who work here are professional, approachable and my 2 girls absolutely adore them. Feedback about skills developed are given regularly and any queries I've had have always been responded to in good time. I will forever be greatly for all the great work the ladies do in helping me raise my little ones to be the best versions of themselves.

My son will be leaving here soon to start school, he started here at just 5 months old and all the staff from the baby group right through to preschool have been excellent. He has enjoyed each and every day here, can't believe our nursery journey is nearly over we really can't recommend chuckles enough.

The best nursery.

All who work at Chuckles have been fantastic with our son, he looks forward to going in and has made some fantastic friends during his time there.

The nursery have supported my son's development, from supporting with toilet training in the early days to learning his numbers and alphabet in the pre school, I feel he has had the best start before big school in September.

Chuckles nursery is such a Lovely nursery, the staff are friendly and so caring towards the children and my little girl is always so happy to be in. I couldn't recommend them enough. Knowing your child is in a safe and fun environment is so reassuring and I feel this way every time she's in nursery. She has come on so much since going to nursery and I really believe it is because of the nursery it's self they give her such good support as well as letting her learn independently. I wouldn't send her anywhere else.

Chuckles is without a doubt the best place for my daughter. She really loves every minute there. She does so much every time she is there. They have built such a lovely rapport with my daughter. I feel at complete ease knowing how well she is cared for and because of the trust I have in the team. I couldn't ask for anything better. I am very grateful to each and every member of staff who works there and especially those in my daughters team, Plant Bach.

Could not recommend enough. The girls have all been amazing with both my boys.
It has felt like home from home.
They have all been like big sisters. I was so nervous about using childcare but made the best decision choosing chuckles. Always at the end of the phone if needed.

They have been a crucial part of my son's childhood and he has developed so well which is also partly thanks to them.

Overall Experience

Absolutely fantastic nursery! I feel very lucky that my two children got to experience many years of chuckles. Nothing is too much effort for staff and they go above and beyond to keep the children safe, happy, and always entertained. The experiences they give the children are great including woodwork, growing fruit & veg, Welsh sessions, cooking, sports sessions, and so on. They are always ensuring children are learning new skills in a fun way. They are great at including parents and host lots of stay-and-play sessions throughout the year. Overall the children are so lucky to have such caring Aunties looking after them.
