Our son loves the nursery, he is so happy to go every morning. He has an allergy and dietary requirements and the nursery are so good with supporting what he needs. There is a really good mix of activities and he is thriving - learning new things all the time. The staff truly care about his
well-being and development. When he started at 12 months, I was really impressed at the longer settling-in period compared with other nurseries.

Love this little nursery. They take good care of my little boy.
They listen to you as a parent and take into consideration the individual needs of the child.
The activities are varied from day to day & my son always comes back telling me something new he learnt or did.
The menu changes weekly,
and provides a good variety of different tastes and textures. I have no complaints with the nursery and would reccomend them, they accomodated a really difficult settling in period and made it easier to settle in my child.

Overall I am very happy.
I would highly recommend this nursery to family and friends.

Chingford Forest has been a fantastic nursery for our daughter. They are so caring and supportive of both the children and parents. The facilities and toys are all high quality. We are very happy that our daughter is so comfortable here and excited to go every day. The options and quality of the
food is also excellent.

Staff are so friendly and loving. It is a family vibe here. All the children are constantly smiling. My child is thriving here and confident. He loves playing football in his PE sessions and there is lots of outdoor space for him to run.

We love the team at this nursery. We've sent both of our kids here and the facilities have improved greatly over time. Can't wait for my youngest to be old enough for the cabin!

The staff at the nursery always take such good care of my little ones. I feel the boys are exposed to an excellent range of activities throughout the day. The nursery was refurbished recently and looks so welcoming, engaging and clean. I love also the outside space!

My son has been with the nursery since he was 18 months and has flourished. We have been really supported with all of his key milestones and he is so excited to move on to primary school thanks to the preparation and effort the nursery staff has put into him.

The care provided here for our daughter is wonderful. I can drop both of our children off in the mornings knowing that they're well looked after. The app also really helps with regular updates on how they're doing during the day.

Chingford Forest Day Nursery is a warm and inviting environment. My child thoroughly enjoys his days and I feel he is stimulated and well looked after.

The nursery were so supportive when our daughter found settling in upsetting. Since then they have remained supportive ever since. My daughter has come on with her language and mobility & is clearly well looked after by staff. Staff always seem happy and enjoy being with the children and the other
children seem settled & to enjoy the nursery.

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful nursery!!
We've sent all three of our children here over the past 9 years. We love it and feel truly at home here. The staff are fantastic.

Our little one has been at the nursery pre and post refurb. Would recommend highly. Our LO has so much fun. There are members off staff who have been here long term and develop really good relationships with the children and so caring towards them.

Both my daughters have attended this nursery full time since they were 11 months old. My oldest is now at school but my youngest has had the same staff and key workers which has been very special (for everyone!) as the core members of staff have been there for years. The nursery is wonderful for
many reasons including facilities - new refurb is lovely - the outside space, food, learning opportunities but mostly it's because of the staff. It's a big thing to hand your child over to someone else and I have felt, for both my children, that the staff here are genuinely invested in and love the children in their care. They celebrate the wins with you and are incredibly supportive during tricky times (like potty training!). I will genuinely be sad when my second daughter graduates as this nursery has been a big part of our lives since 2021.

We love the nursery and my daughter goes every day with a smile on her face! The location (in the forest) and the staff are superb. They are so caring, truly love the children, observant and fun. Love that we can follow her day on the app, it helps reduce anxiety. And the funny and happy pictures
the girls take just confirm our choice. Great nursery!

I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. My daughter has additional needs which the staff have worked incredibly hard to accommodate. She is absolutely flourishing and developing which is so lovely to see. I was very anxious about sending her, but I can honestly say that the staff truly love all of
the children and I feel so reassured when I drop her off. The manager is super helpful and kind, and the baby room staff are incredibly supportive. Also, the ducks and chickens are a hoot! Keep up the great work team.
