The staff are amazing, they do everything they can for the children and my little boy enjoys it so much. They are outside a lot (even in cold weather) which is so beneficial to children and is one of my favourite things about this nursery. My son’s speech and development is so much further on than other children his age who don’t attend nursery and we always receive compliments on his speech. If I had another child I would definitely put them into Chuckles Nursery even though there’s a nursery closer.
We were so lucky to find this nursery. Both my children (4 and 2) attend and they love going.

We were so lucky to find this nursery. Both my children (4 and 2) attend and they love going. The facilities are fantastic and they always seem to be trying to improve their environment, which must take so much work. The outside area is absolutely amazing as well. I teach in a nursery class so feel I can safely say what good learning looks like, and Chuckles definitely offers excellent Early Years practice. The staff are always welcoming and both of mine clearly feel comfortable and happy and we are always hearing the staff's names at home.

My child has significant medical needs and the nursery have been fantastic in accommodating this, they are the friendliest and most nurturing staff and cannot praise them highly enough! My child started off here when she was two having returned after such a long time due to personal reasons they made me feel at ease and her return ran as smoothly as possible, my anxiety about her returning was very quickly resolved when I saw how happy they were to see her back.
The guys at Chuckles have been amazing while looking after my 2 children. Nothing is ever any trouble and they can't do enough to keep the kids happy throughout the day. My daughter is leaving to join school and was always talking about her Aunties at Chuckles.

My son has attended the nursery since he was one year old, now he is four years old. He really enjoys going every morning. I really like the staff and the flexibility, they are very helpful and kind. I can just say a big thank you.

My son has been attending Chuckles for two years. He loves it there, sometimes he doesn't want to leave, which is a good sign. They have a fabulous outdoor area, as well as plenty to do indoors. The food is lovely and nutritious, and obviously the children love it. Usually, my son has at least three plates of dinner! Their rates are very reasonable and the fact they do a term-time contract is the icing on the cake. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Cannot recommend this nursery enough, they are amazing.

I love that the staff understand and want to know more about my children, their likes/dislikes, quirks and personality. They care! I love the regular updates via daily snippets, meetings and emails.
The homemade food is amazing and staff have encouraged my children to eat a varied, well-balanced diet of food that before they wouldn’t dream of touching. I have even learnt tips and tricks to use at home with them.
I love that we as parents/grandparents can come along and join in organised activities with the children, it is the best idea to help engage in conversations and understand what our children do when at Chuckles.
I love the natural outside space and will never forget the stories about meeting the animals in their 1st week. I love the artwork and the woodwork they come home with and the songs they sing to me or stories they retell. Thank you!

I am constantly amazed at all the new things my little one has learnt from nursery - including Welsh (we are not a Welsh-speaking family), numbers, writing her name, singing lovely songs and the many craft activities she tells me about. Her (and my!) favourite is when mummy and daddy come into nursery for family craft or cooking days.
The nursery has been great since my son started at the end of December. Although he gets upset when dropping him off, the staff are great at settling him quickly and when there he really enjoys himself. The pictures emailed from staff through the day are a great reassurance for us that he is...
The nursery has been great since my son started at the end of December. Although he gets upset when dropping him off, the staff are great at settling him quickly and when there he really enjoys himself. The pictures emailed from staff through the day are a great reassurance for us that he is enjoying his time there. The food menu is varied and seems to be a hit and the outside space at the nursery is fab. We also love the messy play element and so does our son. We like that play is encouraged throughout the day and there is no emphasis on screens/technology.
I love that they encourage messy play, outdoor play, reading, singing and dancing with the children. My daughter...
I love that they encourage messy play, outdoor play, reading, singing and dancing with the children. My daughter is always coming home singing and dancing.
I can’t thank all of the staff at Chuckles for all of their help and support - thanks!
My son really enjoys going to nursery, he's always learning new things and I love that they spend a lot of time outside getting fresh air.

The facilities are excellent, the outdoor space is the best I've seen of any other nursery in the area.
All in all a fantastic place for any child to go!
Amazing nursery, lovely staff, my daughter has blossomed since being here 3 years ago, going to miss bringing her to Chuckles.

My son has been in this nursery since he was ten months old and this nursery is absolutely amazing with him.

I will be forever grateful to everyone who’s worked with my son at this nursery as they treat him so well and are so amazing with him and have brought him on so much.

I am always kept well informed of any issues or problems, they are easy to communicate with and if I have any concerns or queries, they are happy to take time and discuss these with me. Fantastic nursery, fantastic staff.
She has had a few issues and with that, the staff/management have been extremely accommodating with putting procedures in place.
I cannot thank nor recommend the nursery highly enough.
