I was nervous at first that the nursery was smaller than others but I have been so pleasantly surprised. The staff are fantastic and everybody, regardless of their role comes together to care for the children when needed.
I was so nervous about my son settling but they have been so flexible and
understanding and my son now loves it there.
They work around the child's needs rather than forcing a generic set of rules on all children and they cater to what each child needs to feel happy and safe.
I haven't spoken to one member of staff and had a negative experience and I can't speak more highly of Amy, my son's key worker. She has reassured us as a family with her dedication and positivity.
David and Vanessa have always welcomed check ins and phone calls when my son was settling, to help put my mind at ease. They go above and beyond. Once the facilities are expanded, this nursery will be even more lovely for families.
I would recommend this nursery to everyone without a doubt.

Absolutely incredible nursery!!
Chilton Meadows Nursery is not local to us but we are more than happy to travel out of our area to use this nursery as we love it so much.
My daughter started here at six months old and the care shown towards her has been amazing.
My daughter absolutely loves her
nursery days as well as all the staff who contribute towards her care.
The staff always listen, are super fexible and have always catered to our needs as well as being so lovely, friendly and welcoming.
I couldnt recommend the nursery enough !
Five stars always !!

Our son has come on leaps and bounds. He is so much more confident and is always telling us about what he has learnt. He loves all of the staff and the toys at nursery. He is now even trying more food when he is at home. We can tell he genuinely loves coming to nursery.

Our son has really come on since starting here 6 months ago. His language, behaviour and playing have developed, and he's always so excited to come to nursery. The staff made a tricky adjustment to starting nursery easy and really helped him settle.

The staff are amazing. They are so supportive, and nothing is an issue. Josh's speech has improved significantly since starting nursery. His development and confidence has increased massively.

The team is incredibly nurturing, attentive, and passionate about early childhood development. Our little one has blossomed since starting here - socially, emotionally, and educationally. Every day is filled with fun activities, learning opportunities, and lots of smiles.
Thank you to everyone at
Chilton Meadows for creating such a positive, loving space for our child to grow. We couldn't ask for more!

We watched our little boy grow from a baby to a confident young boy ready to start school and we couldn't have done it without all the staff at Chilton Meadows Day nursery. Every member of staff has been so caring, thoughtful, friendly and overall amazing.
Would 100% recommend Chilton Meadows Day
nursery for any family. We were regularly kept up to date with progress and what activities the children had done throughout the week and what was planned for the next term.
Thank you to every member of staff for making us part of the Chilton Meadows family and making our little boys nursery journey enjoyable, fun and a safe environment for him to grow.

Chilton Meadows Nursery has been part of our parental journey since 2018! From the moment we went to visit the nursery, the warm and family focused environment was very appealing.
Sadly, we have finished our journey at Moorside as our youngest child begins Reception. Both of our children have
nothing but positive memories from their time spent at Chilton.
From a parental perspective, I would like to take the time to praise the truly wonderful staff (both past and present) for their attentive, friendly and caring nature. It is really appreciated especially as a parent handing over your precious children. It was never in doubt that they were in very safe hands :)
Finally, a special thank you to the manager! What a superb manager! No request is too big and she has been so supportive and reassuring, when dealing with medical issues regarding my daughter.
We will miss you Chilton!!

We can't recommend Chilton Meadows Day Nursery enough. The care they've gave to our daughter has been amazing. Everyone is so friendly, the nursery is very clean with great indoor and outdoor facilities and the food choices were excellent too.

Absolutely fantastic , couldn't fault this nursery at all. Very warm and welcoming and my son really enjoyed attending two afternoons a week. Really gutted to be leaving but as children grow so does their development and it's time to move to school nursery for new adventures. Thanks very much for
the love and care with my sons time at Chilton Meadows

My Daughter attended Chilton Meadows Day Nursery the year leading up to starting school and I can honestly say I'm so glad she went there. The nursery itself has such a family, loving, comfortable feel to it that both me and my daughter felt when going to view her place. The staff are so friendly,
caring and approachable.. this was confirmed more so by seeing the bond between my daughter and her staff when picking her up and dropping her off. Whilst in nursery my daughter took part in so many different activities, this was amazing to see on the parent portal along with the craft items and pictures she brought home.
I have reccomended the nursery to many friends as I honestly think the children get the love and support they need there and knowing that gives peace of mind that they are safe and in good hands with competent staff.
