Review from Lisa Marie J (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been attending this nursery since he was seven months old. I was very hesitant at first about leaving my young baby in the hands of other people but my son absolutely adores this nursery and the amazing staff that come along with it. I receive emails often from the nursery with pictures of my son which I really enjoy and they also provide a book which they write in at the end of each day to let me know what he got up to, such as activities and sleep times. Very pleased with this nursery and would highly recommend.

Review from Cherrie S (Mother of Child) published on 12 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A lovely environment for learning and fun for my son. Regular organised parent participation sessions with sport, healthy eating etc. My son enjoys the nursery, even on the days that my son enters the nursery grumpy, he always comes out with a smile. I have always found the staff friendly, approachable and professional and most importantly very caring towards my son. He is happy and content learning and playing at Chuckles nursery, especially snack time - which he tells me about in great detail!

Overall Experience

Amazing nursery! I cannot thank the staff enough for bringing out the confidence in my little girl and helping her develop so rapidly! She really has learnt something new every day and that’s all thanks to this nursery. Always made me feel so at ease leaving my little girl there.

Review from G G (Father of Child) published on 6 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Our daughter started at Chuckles in May this year. So far, we are really pleased with everything. Our previous nursery didn't keep us so up to date and informed of our daughter's daily activities and developments. Our daughter is happy at nursery and has settled really well.

Staff are really friendly. It's great that they send/email photos of our daughter and print some for her communication book. Great team, really happy with all of the support our daughter receives.

Review from Samantha E (Mother of Child) published on 29 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Chuckles are absolutely amazing in going above and beyond the care of my son. They organise events for you to go and see what your child has been up to, encourage healthy eating and encourage exercise. My son has come on in leaps and bounds, which is all down to the nursery who are able to be there for him when I can’t.

Review from Chris C (Father of Child) published on 7 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

From the initial meeting with the team at Chuckles to the settling in process and the daily routines, the staff at Chuckles go out of their way to ensure that you as a parent have peace of mind and that your child is treated to the most enjoyable growing experiences.

I am always treated by a friendly smile as I drop my son off at 7.30 in the morning, they know his name and the fact that he leaves my arms with a smile and willingly goes in says everything about how safe he feels in the Chuckles environment. The facilities are excellent offering a number of different activities and learning opportunities, the staff who work with the babies are knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions or comply with any requests for my son. The variety of food on offer is excellent and it’s delightful to know that it is all freshly cooked on site and that Chuckles has a 5 rating. When I pick my son up at the end of the day he is always smiling and happily playing with the other children and staff.

Overall Experience

My 16 month and 3 year old have a great time at chuckles. They are well looked after and have a great variety in their days. They both go in with massive smiles and come home shattered after exciting days. They are both doing fantastically with all the care they receive from chuckles.

Overall Experience

Chuckles is a fantastic nursery, staff are friendly, caring, down to earth and hard working. The children do lots of fun activities, the food is lovely. My older 2 sons have also attended the holiday club which is also well run. Good communication with parents. They have a lovely big garden, I would highly recommend Chuckles.

Overall Experience

I am overjoyed with Chuckles nursery, as a mother of 2, I found returning to work extremely nerve-wracking. Chuckles were amazing I really felt reassured that my youngest was in the best hands !!! Healthy meals, planned play to include all needed to promote and develop all vital skills, friendly staff and an overall positive "home from home" attitude. Purely faultless 100% recommend.

Overall Experience

My 2 boys attend this wonderful nursery. They have done since they were roughly 10 months old. It's like home from home for them. They absolutely love it here. They have great fun and we know they are truly loved and cared for. I can not fault the effort the staff go to to ensure my boys are happy, comfortable and entertained. Every member of staff seems to know everything about our boys. My boys are very happy, sociable and confident thank you to Chuckles Nursery.

Review from Jemma R (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was so apprehensive about going back to work and leaving my 10-month-old son in the nursery. We visited so many nurseries before I chose Chuckles Nursery and all of them either didn't meet my expectations, were disorganised or just cold and clinical. However, from the moment we contacted Chuckles, they were friendly, knowledgeable, organised, professional and most importantly, every member of staff are fantastic with my son!

They answered all my questions before my son started nursery, were really helpful with the finance side of things and also arranged the settling in sessions for both me and my son to get used to the idea of the nursery. Since he has been at Chuckles Nursery, his development has been fantastic and he has the perfect mixture of planned activities and free play, so no day is the same. His daily diary keeps me updated on his day and I love the paintings and cards he makes to bring home.

I can't recommend this nursery highly enough - thank you Team Chuckles!

Review from Camille M (Mother of Child) published on 26 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Having tried a few different nurseries this is by far the best nursery my children have attended. The staff are always warm and welcoming. The staff are professional at all times and activities are very well organised. There are great facilities both indoors and outdoors. The management are exemplary and this is by far the most flexible nursery my children have attended. The cook is very good and always prepares nutritious food and my children eat very well. Most importantly my children are very happy at this nursery and always happy to go in when I take them.
