Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

When I was looking for a nursery my initial thought was no one can look after my son well enough. However, from the first settling in session at Chestnuts I was put at ease and confident that my son would be happy there. From the first week, I could see small changes in him. After 5 weeks, he has developed
so much in confidence and his skill set has grown.
All the girls at Chestnuts are so warm and friendly, which makes me more reassured that whoever looked after my son that day, he was in good hands. I am always greeted with a warm welcome when I arrive and the staff takes time to go through his days with me.
The staff are so loving towards him and he’s always happy when I pick him up.

Very positive. Carers know all the children. Children are treated as individuals and encouraged to develop in own areas of strength and weakness.
Good emphasis on outdoor play.

My son started at Chestnuts Day Nursery at 12 months old and has thoroughly enjoyed his experience. He is almost 4 years old and loves the preschool class (Busy Bees). There is a low turnover of staff and they are all very caring and hardworking. The activities in nursery are always appropriate to the
children's ages and abilities. Chestnuts Day Nursery continues to develop the resources both inside and outside. Our son loves the nursery and we are very happy that we chose Chestnuts Day Nursery.

Chestnuts Day Nursery is a lovely nursery with a very homely feel. All the children are very happy there. The staff are very attentive and well trained. The nursery is not very IT savvy, no newsletters or memorabilia is shared via email/facebook etc. This would be beneficial. The outside space is very
good and used well all year round. There are lots of events going on to involve the children and excite them.

My eldest son has just left Chestnuts to start school having been there since 11 months old, and my youngest is nearly 3 and has just moved into the pre-school class at Chestnuts, having also been there since 11 months old. The Chestnuts staff are all friendly, loved by the kids, reliable and passionate
about working with parents/families jointly on any areas of development. Regular development meetings with the staff again highlight how they are on top of the needs of my kids and their unique quirks. Both boys had great help with toilet training. My eldest has left being able to write his name. My younger son hasn't quite got the language to give much detail about his days but he is always happy when picked up and if you ask him who he played with today he always passionately reels off a list of the nursery staff. Newsletters and arts and crafts clearly demonstrate the rounded education received by kids at Chestnuts and I would thoroughly recommend the nursery to anyone.

Chestnuts is a very welcoming nursery where the staff are very friendly and approachable. My little boy has been coming for over a year and a half and settled into the baby room and the toddler room very quickly and easily.

My son has been at the nursery for three years on a two days per week basis, in this time the nursery has provided an excellent learning programme for my son. Their has been no issues throughout his time at nursery and I have seen major development and change in his behaviour during this time. Excellent.

Nursery is excellent, all staff are so friendly and is a really happy environment for my daughter. My daughter has attended this nursery for two years and I believe that her outgoing happy and bright personality has a lot to do with how well she is treated at nursery. This nursery is outstanding.

My son loves coming to nursery he always has a smile on his face when dropping off and picking him up. The staff are all caring and provides activities to help him to develop. He spends time in the garden and likes to climb on the climbing frame which he couldn't do a few weeks ago. There is always
sand and water out for him to play in.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.539)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.539) out of 10 for Chestnuts Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 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 4.964 for Chestnuts Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 4.575 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chestnuts Day Nursery is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 40 number of registered child places is 8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.875

  • 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.
