Our daughter started Chestnut Nursery Schools @ Taverham at the beginning of 2021, she was eighteen months old and she has come on leaps and bounds. To say she adores nursery is an understatement! She clearly loves her time there. As parents we love getting regular updates during the day on what she’s
eaten and what activities she’s been doing. She always comes home with a huge smile on her face. The staff are lovely, really lovely. They all clearly have a passion for the work they do and they do it very well. We would one hundred percent recommend this nursery.

My daughter has recently started at Chestnut Nursery Schools & Taverham and she absolutely loves it. She loved it from her first settling in session in January and now asks if she’s going to nursery every morning. The staff are all very friendly and always tell you about what they’ve been doing that
day. It’s a bit of a different experience starting a nursery during Covid-19 due to all the restrictions but I feel the staff have made that transition easy.

My son started his Chestnut experience in August 2020 and it has been nothing but brilliant. He is so happy attending here and enjoys the variety of activities on offer. The rooms are clean and well equipped with a variety of toys and resources and there is a great outside area too, which the children
access regularly. It has been amazing to see the progress my son has made over the last six months, as a result of being at this nursery. The staff are wonderful; friendly, caring and accommodating. They will happily answer questions and queries and communication via the app and drop off/pick up times are great. The staff take the time to really get to know your child on an individual basis. I know that my son is safe and well looked after whilst attending here. I was very particular when viewing nurseries (pre covid) and knew, from the minute that I saw this one, it was to be. I highly recommend Chestnut Nursery, Taverham.

My little boy started in January and I can already see positive changes in him. All staff are very friendly and welcoming. If I have any concerns with my little boy, staff keep me well informed all day. I love parentzone, it is a great way to keep me well informed about my little boy with pictures,
activities he's been involved in and new foods he's tried etc. The nursery itself is quite small but well equipped and has everything a child will need and want, the outdoor space is amazing. I look forward to seeing my son outside enjoying it. I'm so glad I chose this nursery, 100% recommend!

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough! My son failed to settle in his previous local nursery and it traumatised both of us, and the thought of leaving him somewhere new filled me with dread. But he settled so quickly at Chestnut, due to the amazing and empathetic staff. He loves going to nursery
now and runs off without a second glance. He has thrived since being here and I cannot thank the staff enough.

The staff have been so helpful and extremely friendly!
Our son started in January this year and absolutely loves it! He comes out skipping, singing ‘I love my school’.
He talks about it all the time. We’ve even gone to pick him up and he hasn’t wanted to come home!
They are very organised and everything
we’ve asked has been answered and done within hours.
So brilliant.

My daughter started very recently at the nursery and enjoyed it straight away. She now wants to go every day. The staff are friendly and welcoming, showing a genuine interest in my child. Although it's very early days, a really good first impression. Great settling in process. My daughter in the past
has taken a long time to enjoy childcare settings, she hasn't cried a tear or shown any reluctance at this nursery. She is happy there and really wants to go.

My daughter started her adventure with Chestnut Nursery School @ Taverham in January 2021 and she loves this place, loves all the ladies who work there. Everybody is helpful and so kind. If there is any concern I am contacted by the manager straight away. The parentzone is a brilliant idea so the communication
between parents and teachers is clear and on a high level. I highly recommend this place as within a couple of weeks my child started to be more creative, communicative and open.

We’ve always had a problem when it came to finding a nursery for our son. He’d always cry as soon as he woke saying he didn’t want to go and would have a meltdown when we actually dropped him off.
Since he’s started Chestnut Nursery not once has he cried; it’s been the complete opposite, and he’s
been super excited to go, he loves his new school is what he says to us. He’s become a new boy. We’ve only been going for around about a month, but it’s been so lovely and the staff are brilliant. The manager has been very accommodating. Highly recommend this nursery. Thank you guys so much.

My child has attended this nursery for a long time and thoroughly enjoys it. He always looks forward to going and is happy on collection. The staff are friendly and are happy to answer questions or queries. The premises are quite small but I preferred that option. They have a lovely refurbished outside
area. I like that they have routines and boundaries, and as far as I am aware the staff interact with the children a lot through play or storytime. They eat a variety of food which has helped my child try new things. I would recommend this nursery.

I have been very impressed with the nursery since it's been taken over. Chestnut has invested a lot of money on all aspects of the nursery. The outside space is great for little ones, and inside is well equipped. Kids seem very happy, and the staff are very friendly.

My granddaughter has been attending Chestnut Taverham for the past few months and has flourished since starting there. You can tell she really enjoys her days at the nursery, and also enjoys being around all of the ladies that work there too. It’s a lovely little nursery with a fabulous outside area.
A real gem!

Such a wonderful nursery - we are so pleased we found it. Having looked around a number of nurseries in the area, Chestnut Taverham really stood out to us. It’s a lovely size and the rooms are done out perfectly for the children and babies. Our little girl had just turned 1 when she started and settled
in straight away which as a first time mum, leaving your child with carers for the first time, was so reassuring. The staff are really friendly, always happy to see you and provide updates throughout the day on their app so you can see what your little one is up to. You can tell our daughter enjoys being there and we have found that developmentally, she has already picked up on new skills and is beginning to form new words etc. Would not hesitate to recommend.

We have been really pleased with this nursery so far. Our little girl has been attending since lockdown restrictions eased, and settled in instantly. All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming and can tell our daughter really enjoys being there. The outdoor area is great, as are the rooms inside,
with lots of different toys and activities for the children to fill their days. The updates on the app are really good, and the variety of food offered is brilliant. Thank you Chestnut Taverham!

I can't recommend this nursery enough, including the great staff from there. My little girl made a huge improvement in her development after she started going to the Chestnut Nursery, Taverham. Even in her free days, she is bringing her shoes to me to get her ready for the Nursery and she is crying
most of the times when I'm going to pick her up. We are lucky, is all I can say.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.897)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.897) out of 10 for Chestnut Nursery Schools @ Taverham 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.897 for Chestnut Nursery Schools @ Taverham is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.897

  • 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 Chestnut Nursery Schools @ Taverham is based on 13 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4, which has been reached with 13 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2019

I began my childcare career in 2012 after having my own family. I qualified with a Diploma Level 3 Early Years Educator. I first became a manager in 2015 in a small village pre-school where my own children attended. I have had a wealth of experience managing different nurseries, being able to help children develop and be fortunate enough to really make a difference to their families too. It is the small achievements the children make that reinstates every day why I chose this career. Seeing a child’s eyes light up when they realise they have built the tallest tower or remembered a nursery rhyme is very special. I have just begun my journey with Chestnut Nursery School and already feel part of a very unique family that always puts the child’s needs first.
