What a wonderful nursery. We have just completed our first week of settling in and we are excited and happy about our what lies ahead. Such friendly and caring staff who offer such a personalised experience for your children. Our little girl has had attention and love from the minute we arrived to when
we pick her up at the door. Even with the restrictions due to COVID, we have been able to have a settling in experience which has been phased and at the right level for our little one. The environment is calming and the children are clearly happy. The rooms are bright and clean and the toys and resources are plentiful and growing all the time. It’s been a pleasure to meet the welcoming staff who take the time to say hello and introduce themselves. Our little girl has had her normal routine each time but most importantly, she has had new experiences and opportunities. Long may this continue. I highly recommend this lovely nursery.

Chestnut Taverham is such a warm and welcoming place. My daughter joined 18 months ago and she absolutely loves it there. She literally skips in and skips out every time. The staff are really experienced and friendly and management are kind fair and efficient. I would and have recommended this nursery
to anyone.

My son started here in January and was very reluctant to leave me, to begin with. The staff were so patient and kind with him that he soon settled and even when he was a little bit wobbly, they would comfort him so well he soon gained the confidence to say goodbye without any distress. Since re-opening
after lockdown, the staff have again made us both feel very comfortable and now he wanders in without hardly a look back. He comes home in such a good mood and loves telling us about all the things he's done that day and all the friends he's played with. I fully trust all the staff and if ever there is an issue (he's very clumsy and often falls over), they will contact us immediately just to let us know. He's tried food he wouldn't even consider at home and has grown into the most confident little boy thanks to all the socialising and activities he does. I would have no hesitation recommending this nursery to anyone and if I have any more children they will definitely be attending here.

My son has been at Chestnut Taverham for almost a year and in that time we have grown extremely fond of the nursery and its staff. Time was taken to ensure my son was settled and they took the time to understand his likes, dislikes etc. They have a web portal where they post daily updates about food
intake, activities etc. They take time to tailor activities to the child's abilities and interests. My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time at this Nursery and I know the staff have given him the best care where I could not. They are all friendly and approachable and I would highly recommend this nursery for anyone considering it.

A really positive experience at Chestnut nursery in Taverham. The environment created, both inside and out is fantastic and clean. The staff are all wonderful, very friendly and approachable. Any queries are quickly and helpfully resolved and communication is really reliable too. We receive regular
updates on everything the children are doing, I would highly recommend this nursery.

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.
