Over all time Chestnut Nursery Schools @ The Diamond Centre has 16 reviews.
My child has been at the nursery for the past 2 years and is about to leave for school. The nursery has been so accommodating when wanting to change him from 1 day to 2 days and explained all my options to me. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. It is also very nice as a parent to be invited in to the nursery several times through the year to see all the exciting things that they children are doing.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for trusting us with your child's care over the past two years.
It has been a pleasure to watch him grow, learn, and develop during his time with us. We're delighted to hear that you found our team friendly, welcoming, and supportive.

Since my little one started back in September 2025, he has grown so much, from speech to abilities, his confidence and social interaction. The team has done amazing work and they are always so friendly and helpful and love the fact we get to go in and have visits like this mornings cooking class.
Thankyou for your lovely review. It's lovely to see how your little one is growing and we look forward to sharing more Stay and Play sessions with you in the future!
Having previously attended another nursery, it has been wonderful to see how much more settled he is at Chestnut Nursery Schools @ The Diamond Centre.
I'm really grateful for the fantastic experience they provide and would highly recommend this nursery to other families.
Thank you
Thankyou for your lovely kind words, we're so happy to have your family as part of our nursery and look forward to further adventures and fun!
Lovely nursery with friendly and experienced staff. My baby was struggling to settle in at another nursery, but felt comfortable and happy here straight away. The staff looks after him extremely well and have managed his allergies and needs.Would highly recommend.
Thankyou for your lovely kind words, it's been lovely welcoming you and your family into our nursery and we look forward to our many adventures to come!
We are absolutely thrilled with the care and support our daughter has received at The Diamond Centre nursery. From the very beginning, we were impressed by the dedication and warmth of the key persons who cared for her. The progress she's made in such a short time has been remarkable, and we attribute a lot of it to the wonderful environment and nurturing staff. The nursery provides a rich and joyful atmosphere, with specific activities each day designed to promote the children's development. It's been so rewarding to watch our daughter's confidence and communication skills grow rapidly in such a positive and engaging setting. One of the standout aspects for us was how they handled potty training. With their gentle and supportive approach, our daughter made huge strides, and we couldn't be more grateful for their patience and encouragement throughout the process. We highly recommend The Diamond Centre nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and professional environment.
Thankyou for your lovely words. It was a pleasure to work with you and your family and we wish you all the best.
It has definitely given him a great start and made him so ready for school!
I Can't thank and praise the centre and staff enough!
Thankyou for your kind words, we loved having your family as part of our nursery and hope your son is having a fantastic time at school!
All the best xx
We're so glad you and your little one have enjoyed our nursery so much. It's been a pleasure having you as part of our nursery, and we wish you all the best for the future!
In that time she has come on in her confidence and enjoys going to nursery each session.
She has especially enjoyed the visits to the fire station and police.
She is now keen to be starting to school and I believe it's down to being happy and settled at nursery.
Thanks to all at the diamond centre nursery.
Thankyou for your lovely review, we've loved having you as part of our Nursery Family and wish you all the best at school and beyond.
I appreciate all the hard work that the personnel of Diamond Centre is doing for my little boy. I know it is not easy to look after all the children from the nursery and sometimes is exhausting work. But we are very thankful and we appreciate all their hard work. They care for everyone and look after them very well. A big thank you to all the team!
The teachers are warm and assist my son in interacting with others. They are helpful.
I came upon this nursery when my son's other nursery provision closed. I and my son were worried about a change of venue but all the staff have been welcoming and accommodating. They remember my little ones' interests and incorporate this into his learning. I am so glad I found this nursery as I have noticed the change in my son for the better and his development has progressed so much, I am forever grateful to all the staff. Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.
Lovely nursery and caring, personable staff. My son struggles with change and had some developmental delays. They have really worked on getting to know him and helping his development. We are regularly seeing changes in him and he loves going.
I find that the staff at Chestnut Nursery Schools are so friendly and helpful and are very good at safeguarding children. My daughter loves coming here and her development is expanding all the time. The nursery is really flexible and spread the hours over half term too which helps massively as they are open all year round.
The staff are so engaging and kind and our son loves all the different books and activities they explore!
My daughter has been attending this nursery since the beginning of September and being a lockdown baby this was always going to be a challenge for her. Although sometimes apprehensive about going, she walks out of that door every day with a beaming smile on her face, excited to tell me about her day! It sounds like she does so much whilst she is there and she loves it, always talking very positively about her teachers and the friends she has made there. I have no reservations leaving her there as I know, even if she is a bit upset going in, she's going to have the best time whilst she's there.
They provide a loving and safe haven for kids. I love them. They are so brilliant. I just wish my kid was able to attend the five days of the week since she is a foreigner. She only goes for the free 15 hours per week.

Meet the Team (1)

I began working at Chestnut Nursery Schools in February 2024. Before joining Chestnut, I worked in a variety of early years settings, where I progressed from a Midday Supervisor to Senior Room Lead, Deputy Manager, and now Manager.
I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Children and Young People's Workforce (Early Years Educator), which I achieved with Distinction, and I am also qualified as a Level 5 Early Years Senior Practitioner.
I am passionate about being part of a team that creates a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children feel happy, valued, and confident to learn and thrive. I find my role incredibly rewarding because it allows me to support children's learning and development during the most important stages of their lives by providing engaging experiences and opportunities that inspire curiosity and growth.
I firmly believe that giving children the best possible start in their early years education lays the foundation for lifelong learning, helping them reach their full potential and preparing them for a successful transition to school.
