Review from G R (Mother of Child) published on 29 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I changed my mind on which nursery to go with and am so glad I did- Chestnuts Nursery School has been amazing for my son.
My son absolutely loves going in every day and gets to take part in a wide variety of tasks- be it music and free play, reading, arts and crafts and even baking- to name a few.
The nursery also caters well for his dietary allergies within activities, as well as meals.
The team are wonderful and really work with the children to help them develop and they are extremely supportive of all the new skills and developments made and they are excited to see and hear what the children have achieved at home as well.
I am relieved that I can go to work and know my son is safe and enjoying himself- I love hearing what he's been up to each day and seeing him so happy to go in each morning is lovely. I am grateful to the team for the care they provide and the peace of mind I have when leaving him.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have found since we moved our son to Chestnuts he is excited to go into nursery to see his friends and the lovely team! Runs up to the door even on days he is not due to go. The team are very friendly, happy to help, communication has been excellent and we look forward to his days being increased
as from September. Highly recommend the team, the facilities are great and they have been excellent with his allergies.

Wonderful nursery with amazing staff!


We are absolutely thrilled with Chesnuts after moving from our previous nursery in March this year. The staff are incredibly kind, creating a truly warm and nurturing environment. They are wonderfully supportive, not just with our child's development, but also

with us as parents.


Their accommodating nature is exceptional; they consistently go above and beyond to ensure our little boy's needs are met and that we feel fully supported, particularly with things like potty training and food allergies.


Our son loves walking in every morning, which is the best indicator of the fantastic care he receives. We love all the staff and they are under brilliant management with the manager and the wider group.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.527)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.527) out of 10 for Chestnuts Nursery School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.944 for Chestnuts Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (34 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.944
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.583 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chestnuts Nursery School is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 45 number of registered child places is 9. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.333
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
