  • Chestnut Nursery School @ Arden House, Barking
Chestnut Nursery School Arden House is situated within a converted Registry Office, and has a set of large, spacious rooms with high ceilings and plenty of natural light.

They offer childcare for children aged from 0-5 years old, between the hours of 8.00am – 6.00pm. They are very flexible in their childcare sessions, offering full-time and part-time care. The nursery also takes on children accessing the free 15 hour/11 hour educational grant.

There is a baby room, toddler room, and pre-school room within the nursery, and it has a number of links to the local community through the children's centre located within the setting. Arden House has a large outdoor area, within a safe, enclosed environment.

As with all Chestnut Nursery Schools it follows a forest school ethos as a part of its core curriculum, and so encourages learning and development through outdoor, nature-driven activities.

Please get in touch if you would like to book a visit today.

My daughter started her nursery in September. Everything including staff and management is excellent. Teachers are very friendly, helping and loving. They take great care of your child and provide them good environment to learn and grow. I am glad my daughter got a space here. I would highly recommend
this nursery to parents.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.558)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.558) out of 10 for Chestnut Nursery School @ Arden House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.725 for Chestnut Nursery School @ Arden House is calculated as follows: ( (128 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.725

  • 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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chestnut Nursery School @ Arden House is based on 11 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 66 number of registered child places is 13.2. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.833

  • 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.

Kim Pybus

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2017

My name is Kim Pybus and I am Level 3 qualified in Childcare and Education. I have worked in childcare for over 24 years covering many different roles from nursery practitioner to third in charge and now Deputy. I thoroughly enjoy watching children develop a new skill and become independent whilst using that skill.


I have a daughter of my own and she is now in her 20s. I believe the skills experience and passion for working with children have played an integral role in both of our growth. I have now been working at Arden House for several years and find this extremely rewarding.
