Our daughter has been attending Chestnuts since August 2024 and she really has excelled being here. Chestnuts is great throughout the whole system. The staff are attentive and work hard to create strong bonds with the children. The management are always open to listening to parents and providing information when necessary too. Our daughter specifically takes time to settle and develop those bonds with people. The staff at Chestnuts have always given her the space and time to do it her way and supported her in every way to achieve that goal. I am very pleased to say she is now comfortable and that is due to the time and effort from those within the nursery. As a parent it is very important to know and feel comfortable with those looking after your children away from home and I can definitely say we feel that with Chestnuts :)

Since my grand daughter joined Chestnut Tree Day Nursery, she had developed a lot in confidence, self expression, speech and language. My grand daughter started at this nursery when she was 2years old. Staff have supported my baby to be toilet trained. I love this nursery because the manager and staff love the children and staff support the children to meet their needs which I find very impressive. Parents are updated on the child's day daily and treated with respect.

My daughter started attending this nursery when she was 10 months old and she turned 3 years a few weeks ago It has been an incredible journey so far, choosing Chestnut is the best decision I made. My daughter is always looking forward to her next day at the nursery, she enjoys every moment there. The entire staff are so friendly, supportive and approachable. The nursery is neat, organised and spacious. During her early days at the nursery, I was a bit worried on how a 10 months baby will cope but the regular updates ( notes and pictures) on the portal gave me peace of mind and kept me reassured. If need be, the staff are always on their toes to give me a call in case of any concerns. My daughter feels so comfortable at the nursery and she has developed so quickly. I just want to use this opportunity to say a big thank you to Charlie and her super team. I am grateful and appreciate your hard work. I couldn’t be more happier, Chestnut Nursery the best choice

The nursery is an amazing one, they have been so helpful with my son and I love the flexibility the nursery offers too, it does help me navigate well with work and nursery runs . They have also been of great support to my son speech development.

From the moment we joined this nursery, it has been a nurturing and supportive environment for my child. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive to all the children, ensuring each one feels valued and safe. My child has flourished immensely, starting from not even crawling (8months old) to now running around with confidence and joy. It's evident that the children are taught with love and compassion, as they show kindness for one another. The freshly made food on the premises is an added bonus, ensuring the children receive nutritious meals. Additionally, the prompt updates about my child's progress have been greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for an enriching environment for their child.

My son started at this nursery when he was 10 months old and I was incredibly hesitant about beginning this journey. However, the staff were so reassuring during his settling-in period, which made a big difference. Once my son became familiar with the staff and the environment, he quickly grew happy and comfortable here. The updates/ communication throughout the day is fantastic. For me, this has been incredibly important and is one of the main reasons I truly appreciate this nursery. In fact, I removed my son from the waitlist of my original first-choice nursery after seeing how settled and happy he was here. That decision should speak volumes about the quality of care and environment provided at Chestnut.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Chestnut Tree Days Nursery! The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely passionate about nurturing the children. Our little one has flourished in this environment, becoming more confident and sociable every day. The activities are thoughtfully planned, encouraging creativity, learning and fun. Communication is great, staff keep us updated on progress and are always approachable for any questions. It's clear that the children are at the heart of everything they do. We would highly recommend Chestnut Tree Day Nursery to any parent looking for a safe and supportive place for their child to grow and thrive.

My daughter has been attending the nursery since March 2024, and she loves it. After the third day, she was happy to stay there. She loves her teachers and the staff. She also made friends, which proves the positive environment there.

My daughter has been attending Chestnut Tree since last year (March); she started in the tot's room, and she has received the best care. The staff are kind, caring and supportive - they do lovely activities to stimulate effective learning. My daughter has learnt so many new skills; they even supported her with potty training too, so can’t fault the care in any way. Me and my husband are glad we chose Chestnut for our little girl. I’ve also recommended this nursery to my brother, so five stars from us.

My daughter started nursery in May 2022 and she absolutely loves it! We get so many updates throughout the day so I always know what she’s been doing. When we mention “nursery” at home my daughter insists on looking through the photos of herself on the app and laughs away to herself so I know she is very happy. The staff are lovely and very approachable, always doing different activities with the children. Very glad we went with chestnut tree!

Our daughter started with Chestnut Tree Day Nursery three months ago and she loves it! As our first child, we didn't know what to expect from a nursery but the staff have been nothing but welcoming to us and to our baby especially. The amount of activities they do with her is brilliant - she is always bringing home pictures and paintings and knows all of the actions to the nursery rhymes. Would definitely recommend them.

My daughter started attending Chestnut Tree Day Nursery in April 2023 and I couldn't be happier with our choice. The staff are all friendly, approachable and you can see that the children really do love them too. I am kept informed during the day with photos, when she is sleeping and get a daily note each day outlining the activities that she has been doing. My little one actually squeals when she sees where we are going in the morning, and you can't ask for more reassurance than that!

I’m so glad I chose Chestnut Tree Day Nursery for my daughter, she’s been here now for nearly three months and she has settled down so well, I’m really pleased with her progress, the staff are brilliant with her.

The nursery is an absolute pleasure to take my daughter to. The staff are just excellent and give a lovely, detailed review of how my daughter's day has gone. I’m informed about the progress of my daughter and I’m very happy in general. The manager and staff always smile and say good morning and goodbye when we leave. Overall, I love leaving my daughter in the fabulous care of the nursery for the day and she always comes home smiling and happy and well-fed.

My son started going to Chestnut Tree just after his first birthday. I was very nervous at first as English is not our first language and he did not walk at the time, but the staff has been absolutely amazing. He absolutely loves the nursery and his general motor skills, speech, social skills and understanding of English have developed and/or improved significantly. He has friends to play with, loves the activities organised in the Tinies room and comes back home very happy on a daily basis. If you are nervous to get your little one started at a nursery, do yourself and themselves a favour and sign them up in the Chestnut Tree nursery, because the staff are absolutely amazing. I can see teachers holding and soothing kids on a daily basis so you can be sure that if your little one is upset, they will be physically held by a teacher and soothed.

My son has been attending this nursery for over two years now and he loves it, he is always happy to go in and very happy when I pick him up too! Very supportive and understanding staff members and great management now too
06 March 2023
We absolutely love this nursery! The staff are so friendly and welcoming, they're always smiling! Both my sons are attending here and are so happy from the minute they get in. They enjoy the activities and food. My 2 year old loves the snacks and lunches they provide. Thank you so so much for the kindness and for always going the extra mile. The manager has always been so understanding when I've had personal issues and supported us in any way possible. I would highly recommend this nursery after trying many others. My kids always come out with clean faces, full tummies and tired from all the different daily activities. A big thanks to all

My daughter has been attending this nursery since August 2022 and is in the baby room. From the moment I came to view it, I felt the warmth that radiates from this nursery. One member of staff is great, and you can see how much she cares for the children; she is always there if you have any queries or concerns and will always act on anything you ask for care-wise. My daughter's key person is lovely and caring, and I can see my daughter has a good relationship with her. There are also other staff members I see that are always friendly and helpful. The staff are a good reflection of the management and the company itself. I love the app, as I can see what she's up to all day, which is lovely. So happy my daughter is happy, and I would highly recommend this nursery.

Following my recent review of Chestnut Tree Day Nursery, this has resulted in the Managing Director, terminating our contract with immediate effect. My son started attending the nursery in January 2022, four days a week. However, due to concerns about inadequate care, we switched to using two nurseries in November 2022 because the second nursery only had space for two days which never caused any confusion but rather a relief. The best efforts of the staff will only be to few kids, and a disproportionate staff-to-children ratio prevents them from providing the best possible care for all the children. Since December the nursery has been without a manager. This high staff turnover, likely due to the stressful staff-to-children ratio, is a major concern which is not mainly due to the current staffing issues with early years. The council is aware of issues but nothing has changed. I hope this will prompt Ofsted to take action to safeguard the children.

Our daughter started the nursery three or so months ago and attends two days a week. She is in the baby room. Our daughter settled very quickly and I think this was largely due to the very nurturing nature of the staff. Communication is fantastic and is made easier by use of an online app. Staff are very accommodating and are always open to hearing any concerns that might arise for parents. Any such concerns are then proactively and quickly resolved. Our daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and when we get there she leaps out of my arms and straight into the arms of whoever is there to greet us. Dad and I have absolute faith and confidence that our daughter is safe and very happy at Chestnut Tree Day Nursery and are so grateful to all of the staff there for all their ongoing love and care.
