My Daughter attended Chilton Meadows Day Nursery the year leading up to starting school and I can honestly say I'm so glad she went there. The nursery itself has such a family, loving, comfortable feel to it that both me and my daughter felt when going to view her place. The staff are so friendly, caring
and approachable.. this was confirmed more so by seeing the bond between my daughter and her staff when picking her up and dropping her off. Whilst in nursery my daughter took part in so many different activities, this was amazing to see on the parent portal along with the craft items and pictures she brought home.
I have reccomended the nursery to many friends as I honestly think the children get the love and support they need there and knowing that gives peace of mind that they are safe and in good hands with competent staff.

My child enjoys going to Chilton Meadows Nursery. The staff are very good at what they do and take really good care of my 2 year old boy. He has been going to the nursery from when he was 11 months old. It is like his second home. He always goes in happy and comes back happy.

Both my children come to this nursery and I can not fault the care or facilities. They have made such a difference to both their developments. My son has less than a year left here and it'll be so sad to see him go. The staff are amazing and treat the children as if they are their own.

Our son has come on leaps and bounds since coming to Chilton Meadows. In particular since moving up into the bigger room. He often tells us the names of staff. He's much more comfortable now at drop off times. We feel like he looks forward to coming and really enjoys himself when he is here. He's much
more confident socialising with out children outside of nursery since starting. We would highly recommend the nursery.

My son started Chilton Meadows Day Nursery in September when I had to return to work from maternity. Before the transition, we were given amazing settling in times and he most definitely settled in. For such a young age, he goes in smiling every morning and comes home very happy. Every staff member
I have dealt with have been absolutely lovely. I can imagine doing this job is very stressful however the staff are always very helpful and happy. In only a few months, I've noticed how much my son has come on mixing within a fantastic nursery setting.

We have had nothing but a fantastic experience with Chilton Meadows Day Nursery.
The staff are amazing, always so caring and friendly with the children.
My little one loves coming home and telling me what they have been up to, whether it's hunting for bugs in the garden or creating art work. They
get to know each child individually and learn their likes and dislikes and help to nurture their personality.
Children come on leaps and bounds at Chilton Meadows and I would highly recommend to anyone.

Our daughter is new to this nursery and I honestly could not fault the staff and the care they provide here. The whole process from enquiring with the manager, to signing up and having taster sessions, we now have a little girl who never wants to leave. She has moved from another nursery due to location
and the transition has been made so much easier by the caring and attentive manner everyone who works here displays.
Excellent nursery and fantastic staff who clearly love what they do. Keep up the good work everyone.

The inside setting itself is a very warm and welcoming place. It is always clean and tidy, providing a brilliant environment for the children to thrive in; their needs being the priority of the staff at all times. The staff are second to none, always professional and helpful. Each of them has been so
welcoming and considerate which has made my child's and my experience extremely easy, comfortable, and relaxed from the very start. We can't thank you all enough for how accommodating and sincere you all are, my daughter will miss you all. Many, many, many thanks Chilton Meadows Day Nursery for being part of my child's Early learning Journey.

The staff are friendly and keep you updated with your child's day to make you feel at ease as well as knowing what your child is learning
at that moment! A very safe environment and welcoming staff .. as mentioned my son and I highly recommend if you are looking for a great nursery!

Chilton Meadows is such an amazing nursery and it was a shame that we had to move away. Hayden learned so much during his time here, including how to talk! When he started all he could say was Mam, and now he can talk for England! We are truly grateful to you for giving him a place with you. We wish
you all the best for the future.

My little girl has attended here since April 2023 and absolutely loves it. The girls are all amazing, her learning has come on leaps and bounds and she enjoys coming here so much. She also enjoys the food here and always eats well so a massive thank you to the kitchen staff also. I am beyond proud of
her speaking and love that she enjoys story time so much and also sensory play, she struggled with textures of foods and things so her diet was limited due to this but sensory play has massively improved this and it’s all thanks to the nursery. She is the happiest little girl and I can’t thank all the staff enough, they all do an absolutely fantastic job!

My little one has been going to this nursery for a year now and honestly can say I'm pleased I chose Chilton Meadows. The staff are all lovely and caring, it's the same staff all the time not a high turnover of staff which is reassuring. Every time my little one finishes they come out with big smiles

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.990)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.990) out of 10 for Chilton Meadows 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.990 for Chilton Meadows Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (294 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.99

  • 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 Chilton Meadows Day Nursery is based on 25 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 35 number of registered child places is 7, which has been reached with 25 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.
