Remember my son preferred the toddler area more as he kept on changing who looked after him.
Management has been very helpful and also get involved with care for my little boy which is really nice. I love that the nursery provides all nappies, cream, formula etc. So I don't need to think about these things and pack stuff up.
As usual staff have gone above and beyond to support both my child and I reagrding his learning needs. Both the deputy manager and play leader understand my son's needs and look for creative ways in which they can work with me to support his development.
Staff are as ever, kind, caring and considerate to our situation. I always feel supported by Little Chestnuts staff.
This nursery has gone out of their way to help my son. My son has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The nursery has been understanding, helpful and are working closely to support his future. Thank you Little Chestnuts Day Nursery for all the help you've given and continue to give.
I am extremely happy at how my child has settled in. They have helped to create a polite independent boy, who has overcome so many eating issues and now eats a wide variety of foods, serves himself and cleans away his stuff at home.
They have bonded so well with the staff. The setting is a child's dream! The staff go about and beyond, making everyday fun packed. I love how much my girls have learnt through play. We love the interactive learning diary as well. So much information about what activities they are doing, what they have achieved and what they need to do next.
Highly recommend. Very professionally run.
Our little boy has enjoyed every day at Little Chestnuts. The day nursery has been very good at helping him in building up his confidence. They really interact with the children and give children a great learning experience. Will highly recommend.
Little Chestnuts Day Nursery is an excellent nursery. My son loves going and always enjoys his time there. Two particular staff members are amazing with him and have taught him very well. I would definitely recommend Little Chestnuts Day Nursery.
As my son does not have brothers or sisters, he's been learning about sharing and he is happy with his friends. I like this nursery so much because the staff always give me a review of my sons behaviour, his improvements and opportunities.
Little Chestnuts Day Nursery provides good learning and care for children. They pay special attention to each individual. They always support us and our children to help them move forward.
We are happy how quickly our little girl has settled in nursery. Great staff and lovely atmosphere. She really looks forward to coming to nursery. She keeps asking every morning if she is going to nursery today. We are very happy with everything. Highly recommended.
The staff at the Holiday Club, the manager and another staff member covering both areas deserve the highest of praises for both their work and care of those in their care.
I can see a good difference.
All the staff are very friendly.
He has built a good connection with a few key members of staff.
Learning new things whilst at nursery and being able to come home and show me, shows me staff are teaching them well.
Definitely recommend to friends for their children.
Very knowledgeable, friendly staff.
My child has come on leaps and bounds. Social skills have improved immensely.
I am looking forward to my child growing and learning more before starts preschool.
I love my child when she comes to nursery. I am always happy with the staff when they look after her, always recommend them.
My son has only been attending Little Chestnuts for a couple of months, 2 mornings a week. He has settled in very well. So far I have been happy with his care apart from the morning where one member of staff was looking after 2 rooms when children were arriving. The member of staff was greeting a lot of children and I felt that I had to stay with my son until another member of staff arrived, Overall, I would say the nursery is satisfactory in what they fo, but feel it could do a little bit more.
My child has learnt a lot since starting nursery and has so much confidence. He loves it. My only concern was some issues he had with another child where he got hurt a couple of times. However, since speaking to management we have not had any more problems.
Little Chestnuts Day Nursery is great, the staff are all lovely and friendly, great with my child, helping with learning new things and development.
the staff are all absolutely fantastic. Our little man has progressed so much since he started 1 year ago. He has really developed his interpersonal skills. The activities the staff arrange keeps the kids constantly busy and developing. Would highly recommend Little Chestnuts.
