Review from M M (Father of Child) published on 26 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Chestnut is a wonderful nursery. They have been taking care of our child for over two years now. The staff is amazing and they take the time to explain the days to the parents at pick up. The nursery is also well located on the recreational ground which means that the children get to go outside often. I thoroughly recommend Chestnut in Cottenham.

Review from David B (Father of Child) published on 26 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our child settled earlier this month and we are so thrilled with the nursery and the team. Communication from management has been clear and queries and questions are responded to quickly and informatively. Our daughter has enjoyed the interaction with other children and new adults, she has formed quick bonds with the team in her room, which is lovely to see when dropping her off in the mornings. The information updated on the app is amazing, we love to see what she is doing each day and how she has slept and eaten. It is so reassuring when you get a notification and see she is happy, it's been a real game changer with Mum returning back to work after maternity leave with her.

We couldn't be happier with the nursery's facilities and staff team. We are looking forward to seeing all the amazing progress she will be sure to make during her time at Chestnut Nursery.

Overall Experience

Our child is very happy at Chestnut Nursery. She is always happy to go to nursery and enjoys spending her day with friends. There is always a lot of thought put into their indoor and outdoor activities. This is an excellent nursery with great learning opportunities for the children and their food is fantastic too. We are very happy with the care provided. The staff are very attentive and give great updates and feedback.

I can't praise Chestnuts Cottenham enough. Both of our daughters are excited to go there every day. The staff are wonderful, genuinely caring and build up really lovely relationships with the kids. Communication is great. They're really supportive of development and have given outstanding support to our daughter who has SEN.

Overall Experience

Our little boy started at Chestnut Nursery a few months ago, it was our first experience of going to a formal child care setting. Myself and my husband could not be happier with our experience so far. There are so many things that make the nursery brilliant. The staff are amazing, everyone is so friendly, caring and professional. The nursery itself is modern and spotless. The communication from the nursery is great. Our little boy is so happy there and we as parents have complete confidence and trust in the staff while he is there.

Overall Experience

Our little one absolutely loves Monday to Friday as she gets to play with the her friends, do fun and interactive activities and learn from the caring staff. We have 100% faith in the staff, and they have proven time and time again how genuine and kind they are to each other and the children. Five stars out of five!

Our son absolutely loves nursery - he attends full time and he can't wait to get in the door each morning!
The staff are wonderful with him and keep us updated through the app which is super helpful and lovely to see.

He has come such a long way in his development since starting nursery and I can't thank them enough for taking great care of him!

Overall Experience

My son settled into Chestnut Nursery really well and has been very happy there. The nursery has great facilities, a garden packed with activities and the food menu is always varied and healthy. The staff seem very dedicated and the nursery is very well managed. Engagement with parents is really good with regular updates and photos on the app and there have also been stay-and-play days giving parents/carers an opportunity to spend some time in the nursery. Overall, we're very happy we chose Chestnut and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
