Firstly, I want to commend the entire Chestnut Markyate team. My son has just completed a full academic year here and has developed remarkably well. When we first started, he was using a dummy and still in nappies. Within months, they helped him give up the dummy and supported us wonderfully with potty
training. In just one year, he has learned his numbers, knows his left from right, and can identify animal sounds. He can now express his feelings, tell us when he's happy or sad, and communicate if he is hurt.
Unfortunately, we won't be continuing next year as we've moved, and the nursery is now too far from our new home.
I want to give a special shout-out to 2 members of staff in particular. My son always found it hard to connect with others, but they made him feel so comfortable at the nursery. Our family members know about these two wonderful women he speaks so highly of, and I commend them for their efforts. It saddens me that we have to leave them, but I wish them all the best in their careers.

We would highly recommend this nursery. The nursery has a variety of stimulating activities for play. They have supported us in many ways from our child's healthy eating, potty training and speech and development. It is very comforting to know our child is safe and enjoys his time there.
Our child
enjoys his social interactions and has lovely relationships with staff and the children.
Staff communicate very well with parents.

All the staff are very nice and polite. Taking good care of kids. So far, I had no problem whatsoever. My child started only on 5/02/23, and he is quite happy there and likes to go to nursery, which is really good as a parent. So keep it up.

My child has been going here since he was 2. He is soon to leave this summer. The staff have been very helpful over the past 2 years and my child has bonded very closely with his key worker and he has improved so much with his speech and how he adapts to different situations and has made loads of friends,
which we were worried about as he does like to be very independent. Manager is very helpful and goes above and beyond for kids' parents and her staff.

The staff are all so welcoming and friendly, it didn't take long for my grandson to feel very happy so he now goes in with a smile on his face and always comes out with a smile on his face. The staff always tells me daily what he's had to eat, if there's been any concerns and what he's enjoyed to eat
or not enjoyed. It is a very clean and happy nursery and I'm very happy that my grandson managed to get a place there.

I am quite happy with the service provided by Chestnut Nursery Schools @ Markyate Road. Since my child has attended the nursery I have noticed some positive changes in her personal development. She started talking English and interacting with other kids on a daily basis. I do recommend the nursery to
other parents as they will receive positive outcomes for their little ones.

My experience with the nursery, in general, is very good. I am happy with the facilities and the location of it but more happy I am with the care and good work the staff have with my kid. I feel safe and that is very important to me, to know that my kid is in a good place being well looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.404)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.404) out of 10 for Chestnut Nursery Schools @ Markyate Road 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 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 4.863 for Chestnut Nursery Schools @ Markyate Road is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.863

  • 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 4.541 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Chestnut Nursery Schools @ Markyate Road is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.8 = 0.741

  • 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.
