My daughter joined the nursery in April 2019 and started in the baby room; she was just over 12-months.


Since joining the nursery, her development has been so impressive, from learning to use cutlery to eat independently to the development of her speech. The Chestnut Tree Day Nursery has helped

her to reach and exceed her developmental milestones.


Staff are friendly and approachable, and any concerns are dealt with promptly. I would definitely and I have recommended this nursery to numerous friends with young children.

Both my children have attended Chestnut Tree from 9-months and 10-months. One has since left to go to primary school, and my youngest is currently there. As a family, we have been using this nursery for 5-years and have always been very happy with the standard of care and learning our children have
received. My youngest is thriving, and feel he has become well prepared for primary school admission in September 2021 thanks to the nursery and its staff. My sons first words to me on collecting him at the end of the day are always ‘I had fun!’. We’re so pleased to have sent our children here and can highly recommend it to anyone considering it for their children.

My son joined the nursery in April 2021. I was extremely nervous as he is my first child, and we haven’t been separated since he was born. I needn't have worried because the team are amazing, caring and considerate; they are fantastic with my boy and put me at ease. The manager has always been organised
and helpful with any queries that we have, responding in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend them.

Chestnut Tree Day Nursery is a wonderful place. I am so happy with the service and care they provide for my child. She has been attending the nursery since January 2021, and she is so very happy there. I drop her off in the morning with a smile and pick her in the evening equally as happy, which gives
me complete peace of mind while I am at work. The activities the nursery provide help my child to progress in a wide range of areas, especially social skills. Thank you, Chestnut Tree.

My daughter started at the nursery at about 7-months-old, and I was a bit sceptical, particularly as this was at the heart of the pandemic. I was really reassured by the staff at the start, but I knew the proof would be the impact on my daughter's life. I am so impressed by her development in such a
short period of time. There is a real emphasis on engaging each child and focusing on skills, which in my opinion, set them apart from other children. Her room leader/deputy manager is fantastic and has helped draw our daughter out and participate fully in all aspects of nursery life. I am so impressed by the difference it has made to her life, and I truly commend all the staff members as you are all amazing! Thank you for all your hard work!

Absolutely thrilled with this nursery. My daughter started at the beginning of this month. She is 20-months and hasn't spent a single hour without us so, I was really anxious about leaving her. The staff did an absolutely fantastic job! My kid is actually waving bye in the morning while jumping in one
of the staff's arms. I can see her developing and growing more confident with each session she spends there (only 3x a week). The staff are great, and I am very pleased with the way they treat the kids.

This nursery has been fantastic for our family especially through a lot of difficult times. Our little girl has thrived there and staff couldn’t be more helpful, enthusiastic and friendly. During Covid, they have gone above and beyond to make sure there is plenty of safety measures for the children/parents/staff.
Definitely would recommend.

Our son started at Chestnut Tree when he was just five months old, and now at nearly five years old, he is set to leave for big school at the end of this month, confident and fully prepared for his next chapter. There have been a few changes at the nursery over the years he has attended, but management
have kept us informed every step of the way and have given us plenty of opportunities to voice any concerns or ideas for improvement. We have always been made to feel included and our son has formed a close bond with the staff and other children. I would highly recommend this nursery for parents looking for a safe place for their children to be cared for and gain independence and all the relevant skills required for primary school.

My daughter has been attending for over a year and I am extremely happy with her development, especially her ability to interact with others and stand up for herself. The staff are kind, professional and led by a fantastic lady. As an educator myself, I can testify that the programme of activities
is well thought out, educational and engaging. Communication with parents is also excellent.

My grandchild attends The Chestnut Tree Day Nursery. Being from an older generation, I was a bit sceptical, but I am amazed at the progress in his development that he has shown since attending this really good Nursery. I am pleased my daughter enrolled him here, and love hearing his stories about his
day when I collect him.
The activities, kind and caring staff are second to none.
I recommend this Nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.015)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.015) out of 10 for Chestnut Tree Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.915 for Chestnut Tree Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.915

  • b) 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 4.1 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chestnut Tree Day Nursery is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6

    • ii) 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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
