Our daughter has been attending Chestnut Nursery School NRP since September 2024 in one of the baby rooms. We were quite apprehensive before she started as she hadn't spent much time apart from us. The settle sessions were good, it took quite a few more weeks before she was happy being handed over but I believe is fairly normal. She very quickly formed the most lovely bond with her key worker which as parents is so reassuring and she clearly enjoys her time there. Her key worker is such a kind, caring and professional person (as are the other practitioners in her room). Since being at this nursery she has developed greatly both in her physical ability and verbally. We enjoy getting updates on the app, especially the photos of her playing and doing crafts. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents, we really have no criticisms at all.

My son has been attending Chestnut Nursery North Research Park since May 2024. From the settle sessions up until the present, all he talks about is going to the nursery and all the staff and children in his room. He is happy on handover and collection and has thrived since attending both physically and verbally. The snapshots and focus observations are lovely to receive from his key person who puts in lots of lovely effort. We are grateful to the nursery for taking such care of our son and encouraging, prioritising, and supporting his development. Thank you!

Our daughter always has a great time at nursery! They have such varied activities for her to do and it's nice that she has been assigned particular staff that she can bond with. We get regular updates on the app, which we love receiving - especially the pictures! She comes home happy and exhausted every day.

My son has been attending Chestnut Nursery for the last six months and has loved every minute of it. He always comes home happy and has never cried when I have passed him over in the morning. The staff are lovely, especially his key worker. My only area of improvement is using the app to communicate throughout the day.

The overall quality of childcare here is excellent! There are plenty of resources and activities for children. Staff are well trained and give very detailed assessments using early years frameworks. This is one of the best childcare settings we have used - thank you.

Excellent nursery with amazing staff. Our daughter started in the baby room and I can tell she loves it there. My highlights of the day are her big smile at drop off and pick up and the regular updates and photos. The management staff are also very approachable. I would definitely recommend to everyone.

Our daughter has been so incredibly well looked after by the staff at Chestnut. They have supported her with her integration into the nursery, helped her form friendships and to help her develop her self-confidence. The staff are excellent in looking after my daughter’s mental well-being and help support her through all of her emotional needs. It’s a consistent, supportive and warm environment and I have been extremely happy with their care.

We are so happy with Chestnut Nursery at Norwich Research Park. All the staff are such kind caring people and very knowledgeable. All of the staff always have the child's health, needs and development at the forefront of their minds. The communication throughout the day is great and we receive lots of updates and pictures. They are very flexible and always make sure the kids are happy and looked after. Both of my children have been here and we would recommend it to everyone.

Chestnut Nursery is a fantastic place. My son has flourished whilst being there and is always coming home having learned new things and always runs in happily! The workers are lovely and genuinely care about each child. I have already signed up our newborn daughter to attend when she is older!

My son is two and a half and very fussy as this is his first nursery exposure, but the staff in NRP Chestnut were all lovely and patient with him. After 1-2 months being with them he has become well adjusted, learned new things and developed massively during this time frame. I feel confident that my little one is well taken care of and he is happy and jolly when it’s time to go home. Staff are always smiling and happy to discuss my son’s day with positive feedback.

Our daughters joined Chestnut Nursery (NRP) last year and the team have made the transition seamless. They're a wonderful team who all genuinely enjoy what they do. The space available to the children is second to none, with our daughters' favourite places being the forest garden and the bike garden.

We send our two children to Chestnut Nursery NRP and we couldn’t be happier. Our daughter is in the pre-school room and she absolutely loves it there. The staff are so kind and understanding of the children's differences in personalities. When we said she was experiencing some fluctuating emotions at home they worked closely with her one on one to try and talk about her feelings and how she can express them in different ways. They’ve also been so helpful at navigating her slightly fussy eating. Our son is in the baby room and he is so happy to go in each morning. They have endless patience and are always coming up with new activities to entertain the babies. It’s made being a working parent so much easier knowing they’re having a brilliant, enriching time at nursery.

We recently moved to Norwich and were worried about our little one starting afresh, thinking it was going to be a problem, but he’s settled in so quickly and absolutely loves going to Chestnut. Every day he comes home he always says he’s 'had a wonderful day' and that says it all for us!

I am delighted to review NRP School for their commitment and dedication to my daughter. My daughter is such a happy, bonny girl, always smiling, jumping around, singing, chatting and excited to go to school. However, there has been some few moments in which she felt school wasn't for her, for whatever reasons I do not know, until she was moved from that classroom to different classroom before she became herself again. Since then, she has been absolutely good, cheerful, enthusiastic with full energy to school. Moreover, the school has been helpful in helping her to fit in. Teachers and principal are all very caring, supportive, helpful, good people, compassionate and kind etc. I'll not hesitate to recommend Chestnut Nursery Norwich Nursery to people in all backgrounds to take their children there. Lovely, clean, spacious and hygienic place for children to start their school, because the beginning and start of everything in life matters.

My son attends Chestnut Nursery and has been for around a year. He always enjoys going in and has a lovely bond with the staff. He is well cared for and the staff are attentive and make sure he has fun and develops. I highly recommend this nursery.
07 February 2024
So much work put into making the children feel happy and safe away from their parents. My daughter has not long started, but already gets excited to see her key person. The facilities are amazing. I'm actually a bit jealous that I don't get to enjoy them myself.

My son started at Chestnut Nursery School @ NRP a year ago following our relocation to the area. We were nervous how he’d settle in after moving from one nursery to another, but Chestnut Nursery has been wonderful. The settling-in process was managed with care and kindness and my son settled in faster than ever expected. The staff are absolutely wonderful. They build such strong, trusting and close caring bonds with the children. The food is (my son tells me) delicious and there is a varied and healthy menu. The nursery has fantastic facilities and lots of activities to keep the children entertained and educationally stimulated. My son particularly loves the amount of space outside and the different gardens. I am so glad we chose to send our son to Chestnuts and would highly recommend it to all parents.
07 February 2024
Chestnuts are a great nursery, they regularly update the parent one system so I know what my child is up to throughout the day - this is really reassuring for a first-time parent like myself. All the staff are wonderful and my son absolutely loves going to nursery each day. Updates during every pickup are really nice too. Everyone seems to really enjoy their job which makes it easier for me to drop him off. From our first visit, the nursery asked us to give in our phones during the walk-through, which instantly assured us of their great security measures! The nursery are great at responding to emails quickly and putting me through to his key person. This is the best nursery experience I’ve had so far and look forward to seeing my son's growth with them!

Our son has been at Chestnut NRP for 18 months and I cannot fault the care they have given him. He found the transition to nursery difficult, but was always met with a warm cuddle and big smile. He clearly adores the workers in his room and they meet him with such joy and fun. The staff have been so supportive with the various transitions (potty training, becoming a big brother), meeting his needs with consideration for him as an individual and working with us to ensure the smoothest outcome for him. Chestnut Nursery School is a place where children and staff are happy. They communicate with us well and hold parents evenings regularly as well as stay and plays. The staff have been proactive and supportive with my son's SEN and gave excellent communication throughout the assessment process and beyond, involving us with every step. Our son loves the range of outdoor spaces from the forest school to the bike garden. This has been an environment where he continues to thrive.
