Thank you, Chestnut, for taking such great care of the Children. Special thanks to Lucy and Bethany.
Not only were they super helpful with setting up our daughter to start (first time parents we were a bit lost), they have been so supportive settling her in.
Thank you very much
She is getting involved in lots of activities both indoor and outdoor.
She has settled over a number of weeks and the staff have been very encouraging and patience with this.
If in person or when I call them, their communication is also detailed.
They have recently completed a first assessment of how my daughter is doing in the setting etc and met with me in person to discuss which felt super personalised, they were keen to explore any new goals they could work towards to support my daughter in her learning journey.
The way they spoke about her just shown clear commitment to her development
Fabulous nursery setting! Thank you as always x
My daughter loves attending the nursery. She has developed so much since attending and engages in a wide range of activities throughout the day. Staff are friendly, caring and good at communicating how her day has been.
My daughter attends Chestnut Nursery at Greatfields. She has been going there for about 3 months and loves it. We have seen increase in her vocabulary, self independence and overall development. Though she has one key person, she seems to be happy with every staff members there. The staff are very professional, caring and always give daily debriefs during pick up. Very happy with this nursery and highly recommend.
We started attending the nursery from September and the staff have been patient and helping with the settling period. We appreciate the warmth and the caring with which we were welcomed and guided so far.
The staff are amazing, and my daughter absolutely loves going there.
She has been there for a few months now and has settled perfectly, I am more than happy.
For me and my daughter, this nursery was the best.
So I want to say thank you to all the staff for helping my daughter developing.
We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. From day one, the staff have been warm, professional, and genuinely caring. Our child settled in quickly and has thrived in the safe, fun, and nurturing environment. The team encourages learning through play and supports development, we've seen such positive growth. Communication is excellent, with daily updates at pick up and weekly photos. It's clear the staff truly love what they do. We're so grateful for the care our child receives

I have been working within childcare for most of my life, in many different roles. I have a CACHE Level 3 and I have an Early Childhood Studies Degree. During my degree, I was able to expand my knowledge regarding child development and was given the opportunity to do voluntary work in children’s homes in India, which is where I completed my research for my dissertation. I have been with Chestnut Nursery School since 2015, and I have worked my way up to management. I feel these opportunities have provided me with hands-on, practical skills, as well as the theoretical side, to be able to mentor and guide my team today. I also love ensuring a strong and solid parent partnership is created in order for children to achieve their full potential. I enjoy working here at Chestnut Nursery School, and I am excited to create another diverse, happy, healthy and safe environment for children as well as the team, to see them flourish.
