My children have been attending Chestnut Nursery School @ Ray Lodge since 2017 and I will be sad when my daughter leaves to go to school this September. We have nothing but good things to say about Chestnut. The kids have loved going there and it has been a great preparation for school too in the pre-school room. The staff are all lovely, and the manager is extremely friendly and helpful. They have really good outdoor space, including a separate garden for the babies which is unusual. Definitely recommended!
His keyworker (and SENCO) is caring as well as challenging to help our son learn. She has experience of ways of working with children with additional needs and lots of skills in the areas. Most importantly - she is genuinely passionate about her job and does it well.
Obviously, our experience relates to a child with additional needs, but we are going to be sending our daughter (who is neurotypical) to Chestnuts too soon. We love the way the classrooms are set up, with plenty of tabletop activities, messy play, outdoor play opportunities, and they also have a sensory room.
I cannot recommend this nursery enough!
My older son left in September and was so well prepared for primary school with the support, help and assistance from the nursery.
He came on leaps and bounds whilst attending Chestnut and still talks about his key worker and staff with fond memories.
My younger son has just returned back after the covid break, and after his first day back stated, “nursery is amazing, I love nursery” safe to say, Chestnut has managed his return perfectly and alleviated any worries I had about his return at this time.
I have always been incredibly happy with Chestnut and can see how they teach and look after my children in such a kind, caring and professional way.
My daughter has been attending this nursery since she has been two and she loves it. She has grown into a confident child and has made many friends. All members of staff are caring and pay attention to each child’s individual needs. I would highly recommend this nursery to every parent who wants to be sure that their child is left in safe hands.
Ray Lodge Chestnut is an excellent place for children. My daughter started at 6 months and stayed until she started school. She thrived and all the staff were brilliant. They supported her with her learning and supported her social skills. I loved the nursery so much that my younger baby, who is 8 months old has now started as well. We love the nursery so so much.
We can’t recommend this nursery enough and are extremely sad to be leaving.
The staff make this nursery a huge success and we wish them all the luck for the future.
Children are well looked after and regular nappy changes, development skills taught/encouraged.
Good communication on daily activities.
Ray Lodge nursery is fantastic. My daughter loves it. She has been there since she was 1 and is now almost 3 and we've seen her develop so much. Great rapport with management, very professional and friendly. At each room, our daughter has had fantastic staff who have been caring and approachable.

Hi, my name is Leticia. I have been working for Chestnut Nursery Schools since 2019. I hold a Level 3 Childcare qualification. I have over 12 years of experience in childcare, working with children of all ages. It is important to put a child's emotional needs first, making them feel safe, secure, and understood while in our care every day. I feel privileged to be able to support children’s development, watch them grow and blossom into young individuals, while working alongside parents and carers, building a great parent partnership. I am dedicated in supporting my team’s mental well-being and creating a positive, comfortable work environment by offering guidance, a listening ear and open communication. I strive to ensure everyone feels valued and supported, helping us all thrive together.
