Review from Z B (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter absolutely loves attending Chuckles Nursery. We get sent pictures of her daily adventures in nursery and she has made some great friends. She has been at Chuckles since 9-months-old (she is 3 now) and it’s comforting to know that her ‘aunties’ have supported her every step of the way.
She loves telling us about her days.
Chuckles is constantly changing its activities and areas for the children to play.

Each day at Chuckles really is an adventure for our daughter.

Overall Experience

I couldn't be happier with Chuckles Nursery. They do so many fantastic activities with the children. My little boy has come on leaps and bounds since going to nursery and comes out with things I've never told him. They do all they can to work with your needs, whatever that is. So pleased I chose Chuckles. Thank you to everyone there.

Overall Experience

This is my second child I have sent to Chuckles Nursery and I wouldn’t send them anywhere else. The staff are very caring and welcoming and are always on hand to answer questions and communicate how your little one is doing throughout the day. The outdoor space is amazing. I really value the play and learning opportunities that they provide. My little boy loves attending Chuckles and I am happy and confident with the excellent care they provide.

The staff are amazing and my little girl loves going to nursery. Would recommend it all day long. Thanks, girls. They are always happy and welcoming. They get back to you if you have a query very promptly. Just amazing and through Covid they were exceptional.

My daughter loves it here, has been here since she was a baby and has gone through the different groups, the staff are amazing and always have something planned for the children to do that week. I always love seeing the photos from the day to see what she has been busy doing and learning, I really couldn’t ask for a better nursery.

Chuckles Nursery takes the time to get to know you and your child. During the pandemic, they have kept good health and safety standards and have managed to keep the children safe.

The kids get so much outdoor time and plenty of vegetables/fruit in their dinners.

Very friendly staff, if I have a question they will answer it within a day.
My son is really happy to go every time and when he comes home I can tell he is learning something new every day.

I would suggest this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience
The staff at Chuckles Nursery are so caring and nurturing towards my daughter. They are flexible around my working times and when I need extra childcare.
My daughter absolutely loves going in to see them, so much so that on the days she isn’t in she’s asking to go in.
I really cannot rate this nursery enough, I use them for my daughter now and for my son when he was younger.

They are always looking at improving their venue and have just had all their gardens done and their car parks resurfaced.

Review from Laura H (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We are extremely pleased with our choice of nursery.
We were recommended by a neighbour who had previously sent her children to Chuckles Nursery after we had concerns about our original choice and so glad she did!
We were able to go and look around the nursery on an open day before choosing it and came away feeling like it was a good fit for our son.
Our son is well looked after by the staff there, does a variety of activities day to day and goes in and comes out happy which is the main factor for us.
The nursery menu is excellent, a good range of food and exposure to some meals he wouldn’t have necessarily tried yet or at a young age.
The app Chuckles uses for daily updates is great and really reassuring being able to see pictures and how he has slept and eaten throughout the day.

The staff really do care, we leave our son knowing he is in good hands and that level of reassurance is exactly why Chuckles is an excellent nursery.

Overall Experience
This nursery truly cares for the children and families they welcome through their doors. I chose this nursery very easily as I was allowed to view in person which is key, they have great outdoor space and such caring staff.

They ensured my isolated covid baby became a socialised, happy toddler who enjoys messy play and the garden. They're super flexible and have supported my child through medical issues with ease.

Overall Experience
My child enjoys attending this place. The outdoor facilities are fantastic. I can see nursery continuously invests in its development and the new app where you can see your child's nursery activities and communicate messages is just a brilliant addition.
Despite a few issues in the beginning, staff members have been able to sort it out instantly.

In general, I am quite happy we have chosen this nursery.

Couldn't be any happier with Chuckles Nursery. My boy loves it! Staff are amazing and very helpful. Nursery has great outside and inside facilities. Food menu is very wide and healthy. Feel very safe when I leave my boy with the 'Aunties'. Also love the new app!

Review from Anna L (Mother of Child) published on 14 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am so pleased my son attends Chuckles Nursery. The team members are very welcoming, friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. The layout of the place is great and the nursery provides so many opportunities for enhancing a child's development in many areas. The garden area is phenomenal with beautiful views. My son's social, communication, physical and emotional skills have improved significantly since he started his adventure in Chuckles. He absolutely loves going there and can't wait to see his friends and favourite members of staff. The food must be good, too, as my boy is quite a picky eater at home, but eats nearly everything while at Chuckles. Highly recommended place for a child.

I've sent my 3 children to this nursery over the last 7 years and I honestly couldn't think of a better place to bring my children. The staff are more like family to my children. I would recommend this nursery to any of my friends and family as they are just brilliant.

Overall Experience

Chuckles has been fantastic for our son, since his settling in sessions before Christmas to today he has enjoyed every second in the nursery. The staff are extremely helpful and have made us feel so welcomed. I couldn't recommend Chuckles highly enough to anyone. Our son is well looked after and the picture updates show him taking part in a wide range of activities and the crafts he brings home are fantastic!

Review from Katie P (Mother of Child) published on 15 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Chuckles Nursery is very unique due to the family feel that they offer the children. Each and every member of staff has a warm and friendly personality and get to know your child really well. The children spend lots of time outside and messy play is done daily. They do lots of story telling and music time, which my little boy loves. He always comes home well fed, well rested and having had lots of fun. He loves going there and happily skips in every morning. It’s so lovely as a parent to be able to switch off while in work as I know he’s being cared for so well. The building and setting is also gorgeous and their outdoor activities are the best I’ve seen in any nursery. As I’ve said, Chuckles is very unique and a special place and I feel lucky to have found them.

Review from Lynne R (Mother of Child) published on 15 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has recently started at Chuckes Nursery (February 2021) and so far we’ve been really pleased with the nursery. Communication has always been great but is even better since the introduction of the app - we love hearing about what he’s doing and seeing pictures from every session!
We’ve been really impressed with the opportunities he has, particularly the access to the outdoor areas which was a real selling point for us when choosing a nursery and we love all the presents (artwork) he brings home!

We’re also pleased with the healthy, home cooked menu provided which is important to us as a family. Thanks Chuckles.

Review from Rhiannon T (Mother of Child) published on 15 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I can’t praise the whole team at Chuckles Nursery enough. From the moment I enquired about a space up to the present day we’ve had nothing but a positive experience. My daughter has settled in wonderfully and I know that’s down to the hard work of the whole team. She loves her ‘aunties’ to bits and we can’t thank them enough for everything they do for her. Nothing seems like too much bother for them, even her reusable nappies, which they took on board from day one. which is much better than her Dad. I couldn’t recommend Chuckles Nursery enough, they’re all wonderful!

Fabulous nursery. The staff have always been excellent, even throughout the stresses of Covid-19 they still gave one hundred and ten percent and have been amazing in every area.

I love the focus on outdoor play and the fun activities they supply.
