The whole staff at Chestnuts @ Woodgrange have been professional, efficient, friendly and very welcoming to my son from the minute we walked through the doors on our first viewing. My son seems settled, happy and very enthusiastic after having experienced Chestnut Nursery for a couple of weeks now.
The staff have been patient and kind making sure my son’s settling-in period has been as smooth a transition as possible. Although he was unsettled when he first arrived, the staff will do everything they can to understand how to pacify him and what toys and/or techniques work for each individual child to make their time at nursery as enjoyable as possible. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you!

My daughter has been at Chestnut Woodgrange for 1.5 years now and loves it there. The staff clearly love what they do and always seem so positive, caring and nurturing when they talk about my daughter's care. We noticed quite quickly that her speech and social skills improved after starting at Chestnut,
and she has continued to grow into a very articulate, confident, creative and happy toddler. It is hard to leave your child with anyone, but to know she is excited to go in and play with her teachers (more so than her friends sometimes!) makes it easier. There is lots of room for role play and imaginative play, reading and painting, but also activities set up like brushing toy teeth/cutting vegetables/homemade modelling clay, as well as a great outdoor space for playing. We already plan to send our second child there once he turns 2, as we know he too will thrive there.

Our younger daughter has been attending Chestnut @ Woodgrange Nursery since September 2023. She has been very happy there. She is very attached to the staff, often talks about them at home and refers to them as her 'best friends'. She has developed friendships with the other children there. Communication
from the nursery is very clear with regards to fees, relevant dates for the diary and also sending us home learning and local resources and activities that we might want to take advantage of. Our older daughter attends the school next door and so the location is very convenient for pick-ups. We would have no hesitation in recommending Chestnut @ Woodgrange to other parents.

Both my children have attended Woodgrange Chestnut, both the nursery and the wraparound/out-of-school provision, for over four continuous years.
They have absolutely thrived there - they felt loved, secure and known as individuals.
The staff are excellent, caring and professional and the management
is efficient and organised.
I would have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending this nursery!

My daughter had a wonderful time at Chestnut Woodgrange. She used to come home happy about her day and would tell me all about the stories and activities they were involved. The staff is lovely, kids don’t get pushed to do anything - they are respectful and really kind to kids and parents. I truly believe
this is one of the best nurseries in the area and I am so happy that my daughter got to spend a lovely year making friends and learning so much with them.

Fantastic nursery - we’ve had a great experience for our 3-year-old. Caring and communicative staff. Engaging and fun play for the little ones. My son has a great time. When he started, he settled in quickly and he formed some strong bonds with the staff as well as friendships with the other kids. Every
day there are new activities to keep him engaged and he feels very proud when he’s given a sticker to recognise his help tidying up.

My daughter has been attending Chestnut Nursery since September 2023. I find the nursery space very spacious for all the children and they also have a large outside play area which is amazing for the children. I am confident in the team's knowledge and experience. My daughter comes home with new words
and shares her experience of the day which is amazing to me. The teachers are very approachable and are happy to speak with me about any concerns and positive feedback about my daughter. The staff are very friendly and always give me feedback every time I pick her up from her day with them, my daughter loves attending this nursery.

My daughter attended Chestnut Nursery when she was a toddler and now my son has been attending for the past year. The main thing that draws me to the nursery is the staff, as they are absolutely fantastic in every way. They are really supportive, kind, patient and caring and above all, professional.
My daughter made such a close bond with her main caregiver that she didn't want to leave and go to school once she turned 4. My son constantly talks about his caregivers and the activities he takes part in whilst at nursery. The supportive environment has really helped him develop in the past 12 months in relation to toilet training and engaging socially with others.

Chesnut has been wonderful for both our son, who spent a few months here, and our daughter, who is currently enrolled. The caring and passionate staff create a lovely environment and they both love going in. They engage in activities every day and I am always impressed with the artwork they bring home
each day! They have lots of fun and feels like they have made great bonds with all the teachers there.

I really like the way they take care of the children and try their best to teach them letters, numbers and emotions. I personally really appreciate the work that they do for the kids and I hope more people come to see how well they teach kids right and wrong so they can progressively learn.

My daughter has been going to the nursery since just after her second birthday. It took her quite a while to settle in, however, due to the consistency of staff and level of care she is doing so well. I haven’t found it easy to let someone else take care of her, but my mind has been at peace, I know
that she is safe and well taken care of. The staff have made sure that her special dietary requirements are taken care of and my daughter comes home singing songs I haven’t taught her, her vocabulary has grown extensively and she asks for nursery on her non-nursery days. She comes home happy and I am so happy I made the choice to send her here.

Chestnut Nursery is a lovely place! My daughter has been attending nursery since 2020. I have always felt very happy, confident and satisfied leaving her there. The staff are so helpful and supportive of all the children. My daughter has a very strong bond with the nursery and the staff. Since going
to Chestnut Nursery I can see a massive difference in my child's learning, social behaviour and improvements in other things. She never wants to miss a day out of nursery. The staff are very polite, friendly and informative with the parents. You can tell that they genuinely care and want the best from the children! The management is outstanding!

My daughter attended Chestnut Nursery for an academic year, and we were happy throughout. The setting itself is neither too small nor too big; it is shady and green, reassuring for children. The staff deserve special praise; they are caring, get to know the children very well and give regular updates
to parents. My daughter became very attached to all of them. Lunches seem a bit repetitive, but this is the only downside. I would highly recommend this setting all the same.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.889) out of 10 for Chestnut Nursery School @ Woodgrange 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.889 for Chestnut Nursery School @ Woodgrange is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.889

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chestnut Nursery School @ Woodgrange is based on 16 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
