This nursery is amazing I have had 2 of my children attend here and each time the staff have been helpful caring nurturing supportive and knowledgeable. The setting is well laid out with distinct areas of play such as construction role play maths and reading. The outdoor area is well maintained with really good learning opportunities. Communication is really good both verbally and through the app. We will really miss this nursery and all the staff.

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.

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.

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 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.
