My son started here in September and he's been doing great! I've noticed his speech is improving and he is more confident in playing by himself. All the staff are lovely and always keep me informed of how he is progressing as well as what he's been doing. My son is always happy to go to nursery and
enjoys every minute! An excellent nursery that I would definitely recommend.

Clacton Nursery - thank you for taking care of my son, keeping him safe and making sure he progressed beyond what I could ask for. I viewed so many and my son went to 4 nursery’s before finding this one and something wasn’t right for us in each setting but this nursery is outstanding in every aspect.
The manager and the girls who work there are absolute gems, to say the least, not only are they caring and compassionate with my boy but with me as well, reassuring me and making sure I was ok I honestly can’t put in words to say how much I loved this setting. They deserve so much recognition for how hard they work and how person-centred they really are. Thank you thank you for being the best nursery for us! I wish this school all the best in the future and I hope the manager and all the girls have the best life in the future. Forever thankful to have found you all.

I’m very happy that my daughter got into this nursery as she has lots of fun learning and playing. The staff are very friendly and professional and care very deeply about my daughter's well-being and development, they have also helped to reassure me of any concerns I may have had. Would highly recommend
The Chase Nursery.

My son was very unsure about leaving me but after a few short weeks, he runs in without saying bye! The staff have really worked well alongside us and he is almost completely dry at nursery. He is learning how to share and play nicely, He always has a lovely day and cannot wait to go back. All the staff
I have dealt with have been extremely polite and friendly. They all have excellent communication. I cannot praise The Chase enough. Just an amazing nursery and I feel very much at ease leaving my son in their capable hands. The nursery is also very well-equipped and stimulating.

My daughter has been going there for nearly a year now and she's developed so much, she loves it there. All the staff are amazing, so good with my daughter. They are so understanding with things and always help out the best they can with your child's needs! Always recommend any child to go here, it's
amazing!

My daughter is three and has been coming to The Chase Nursery in Clacton since she was two. When she first started she was shy, nervous and cried every single session but now she is confident and excited to go to nursery and has really bonded with her teachers, which makes it a nicer experience all
round. I have never once had to worry about the level of care the teachers show as it has always been exceptional. I'll be sad come September when my daughter starts big school as she really has made some strong bonds since starting here. My son now also comes to this nursery and is in the 2-3 year room and he has settled in wonderfully, he has never been away from me for a long period of time yet he is happy to stay and play with his friends and is starting to grow a bond with his teacher. All round, this is a great nursery and I'm so glad my children have got to experience it.

This nursery has very high standards. They will make sure every child achieves their highest potential. My child practically runs in, he loves being here, the home-from-home environment makes this nursery extra special. The nursery is well-equipped inside and outside.

My little boy started The Chase nursery in January. He hasn't been around many children or people due to the lockdowns. Since starting the nursery, I have seen him really come out of his shell, his communication and behaviour have improved massively. All the ladies are so helpful and patient with him.
They understood my concerns and have worked closely with both me and him to help with his speech delay and other concerns I had. All the lovely ladies have welcomed my son and he comes home with a smile every day!

Me and my little boy have been attending toddler group here for several weeks now and he is loving it. The staff are all very friendly and always smiling. They always have lots of fun activities set up for the children and lots of toys to choose from. The garden is lovely too. My little boy loves playing
with the builders blocks/wheelbarrow and sand pit in the garden. It is a very welcoming nursery I would highly recommend.

The Chase nursery is a fantastic setting. My son enjoys it there very much. It's a small setting with a family feel and they inform and connect with parents frequently via the parents' app and face to face. There is always someone, usually the nursery manager, at the gate in the morning to do the meet
and greet and the same in the evening. All the staff are friendly and approachable. My son has a key worker who he knows very well but has relationships with all the staff there. You can hear the influence they have when he comes home and repeats the positive things they have said to him that day. The outdoor space is small, but they have made very good use of it. The learning experiences my son has had have been fabulous while still allowing him to engage with his favourite toys and topics. In the year my son has attended this nursery, he has come on leaps and bounds. He is very independent now and we have no worries about him starting school this September. Would highly recommend it.

My son started nursery not talking and a few months later, he started to make sentences. My son always comes home happy and talking about the members of staff and what he has done throughout the day. It is nice to see updates on the parents' app as to what my child has got up to.

After Covid, my son had never really mingled with other children. He started the nursery in January and he absolutely loves it. His speech has come on massively and he is always happy and super chatty when I collect him after a session. Lovely staff, lovely place.

The Chase welcomed my very quiet, very shy little boy in November, who moved from another nursery. It's a smaller environment and he absolutely thrives in their care. They are so active with the children and are always exploring different subjects each week. We have a monthly newsletter and I always
feel like I know what is going on. They use a parents' app to keep us up to date with the children's daily activities. Overall, communication is great. My little boy is growing in confidence with them, he enjoys being there and has built some lovely bonds with the leaders. The leaders are kind, happy, consistent, and approachable. The environment is very welcoming, colourful, warm and welcoming. Moving him to the Chase nursery Clacton was the best thing we did. Thank you all so very much for everything you do. Thank you for welcoming him, and making us all feel at ease.

My son has been attending this nursery since October last year, having come from a different nursery that didn't help him excel we were very worried about the interaction they would have with him. Lovely small fantastic setting and has absolutely everything you need. Group sizes are kept to a maximum
of 10 (I Believe) so no child is overlooked and is interacted within their Circle Times / Crafts. We also receive daily reports on our app with pictures and write-ups which is not a requirement anymore but we love that they do it. Staff have really helped my son excel and his communication has improved massively. He's shy at first as the staff say but to hear glowing reports that his confidence is growing by the day is phenomenal. The nursery do different themes each week and the crafts are different day in day out throughout. Staff are so caring and I feel they are in the job that suits them - it really shows they all enjoy doing it. I cannot praise this nursery enough, truly amazing!

My little girl has attended this nursery for almost 2 years now and we could be happier.
Her development has come on leaps and bounds and still to this day, every day she is asking to go into nursery - she loves it that much. She can count to 20 she learnt her alphabet over a year ago. Every day, she
tells me either a new word or something she has learnt each day. She is always singing and a very happy child and I know we will both miss the Chase when she goes onto primary school. I'll look forward to when my baby boy is old enough to attend! All the staff are amazing, very kind, professional and considerate to all our needs. The nursery is run very well and efficiently and deserves every award given. Recommended highly.

My son absolutely loves going to nursery because of the amazing staff who arrange such fun activities every single week. They also work with children who need a little extra time. My son went into the nursery with extremely limited speech and now he comes home after every nursery day saying new words,
singing new songs and telling me what he learned that day. I would recommend The Chase to anybody and I already have done so. Amazing staff, amazing nursery.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.767)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.767) out of 10 for The Chase Nursery Clacton 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 3 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 5.000 for The Chase Nursery Clacton is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.767 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Chase Nursery Clacton is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 29 number of registered child places is 5.8. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.8 = 0.517

  • 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.
