    My daughter has enjoyed every day since she joined in February 2020. It is an incredible place! The team are exceptional and consistently create an setting that is calm and encourages exploration and creativity. My daughter particularly likes meal times and I adore that they have an onsite chef who delivers fresh, varied meals for the kids to eat. We adore Chestnut Childcare centre School at Norwich Research Park.

    Our son also attends the childcare centre. We have had a remarkable journey with the childcare centre. The kids are cheerful, sense secure and are developing rapidly. The team take excellent enjoyment in helping them succeed. They eat healthy food which they delight in. They have developed fantastic friendships and have access to a super outdoor space and meditation room. They engage with parents highly well – stay and playtime, open days and parents evenings. We are looking forward to our eldest kid’s graduation! Thank you. Our daughter started at Chestnut Childcare centre School at 15 months and is now leaving to go to school.

    The team are so dedicated to the wellbeing, happiness and development of the kids. My son has thrived during his year there, made many friends and consistently comes home cheerful. The facilities are remarkable and they do something different and enjoyable every day. They give the kids activity packs to take home in the holidays and created an outdoor space to read with your kid, their service is personal and attentive. They kept us well informed and made us sense included and reassured throughout the pandemic. Highly pleased and reassured he got the best start in life. Chestnut Childcare centre School is a remarkable childcare centre.

    Her needs were met in a thoughtful and proactive way and the team went over and above to assistance us as a family. Monitoring and reporting was highly great and daily feedback helped me to sense respected, listened to and cared about. My little girl made significant development with her development in the care of her key workers and the childcare centre’s SENCO.
    All team were welcoming and polite at all times but I was especially impressed by her key worker, SENCO and the management team. This is an outstanding childcare centre.
    It is managed exceptionally well and all team have highly high standards of conduct.
    It is a welcoming, secure and stimulating setting that is highly well resourced.
    The buildings and grounds are fabulous with plenty of outdoor space and lots of planned activities.
    The respect and kindness shown to me and my little girl who has special educational needs was outstanding and I know that she was a highly cheerful and confident little girl in their care.

    He started in Toddlers and then moved up to Pre-School/Term Time! He has absolutely flourished here and he thoroughly enjoys going to childcare centre every day that he’s in! He has come on leaps and bounds since being at Chestnut Childcare centre School @ Norwich Research Park and a special thank you goes to the team members in Toddlers, Pre-School and Term Time as they have been incredibly supportive and nurtured him. As well as all of the other incredible team too! We can’t suggest Chestnut Childcare centre School enough! We have consistently felt comfortable leaving our son there, knowing he is secure and cheerful. So thank you for easing our minds and helping our son to flourish. You are all incredible! Our son has been attending Chestnut Childcare centre School @ Norwich Research Park for a year and a half.

    We have been thoroughly impressed with the transfer and his first two weeks at Chestnut Childcare centre School. He is talking far more, has made friends and wants to playtime rather than watch TV when he gets home. Our son started here after transferring from another childcare centre.

    Their focus on discovering through playtime including using the fantastic outside space they have all year round has truly benefitted him. The team are all outstanding and he has built some fantastic relationships with them, running in every day without even looking back. It makes me sense comfortable that he is well cared for whilst I’m at work and talks vividly about all the enjoyable things he’s done each day on the journey home. Couldn’t suggest them enough! My son has been coming to NRP for a year now and he has completely flourished in their care.

    The team are approachable and attentive, paying attention to the individual kid’s needs. Almost daily updates are sent to the parents with photos which we loved to see.
    The management team has consistently been supportive and understanding of us.
    We truly miss the Chestnut Childcare centre days…..so much enjoyable……so fantastic educators!
    Thank you! Outstanding childcare centre, highly recommended.
    My daughter truly enjoyed her time at Chestnut Childcare centre School @ Norwich Research Park.

    Their commitment to nurturing each kid’s individual capabilities and interests is truly commendable. They have shown remarkable patience and dedication in helping my daughter grow both academically and socially.
    In addition, the administrative team is efficient and responsive, making updates between the school and parents seamless.
    We sense exceptionally fortunate to have found Chestnut Childcare centre School. It offers a supportive, engaging, and nurturing setting that has given us peace of mind as parents, and more importantly, it’s a place my daughter is excited to go every day. My daughter has been attending Chestnut Childcare centre School for the past three months and our journey has been nothing short of exceptional.
    My daughter’s discovering development has been outstanding, and she surprises us every day with new skills and knowledge she has picked up at school.
    The educators are not only qualified and experienced but also display a genuine adore and understanding for kids.

    At first, he was a bit nervous and upset as it was a new setting but after some patience and time, the practitioners calmed him down and updated me later in the day with how he was feeling and doing. When I collected him at the end of the day he was highly cheerful with the whole journey and couldn’t wait until his next session. He made loads of friends in his time there and did loads of unique and enjoyable activities, bringing home some lovely pieces of art he created such as a dragonfly made from sticks and leaves. Myself and my partner have been so impressed with the practice that we book him in every half term and he is highly excited to go. My son joined the holiday club for the summer holidays.

    The activities on offer are exceptional and he consistently gets to journey a variety of different activities each week. The menu offers a wide variety of foods, some which we don’t do at home so it’s lovely for him to eat different foods. We receive weekly observations and the team are lovely. The care he receives is excellent and it’s so lovely how he now comes home and tells us about his day. I know he has a excellent bond with the team in the room as he consistently talks about them, particularly two members of team. I think Chestnut Childcare centre School & Norwich Research Park is the perfect place for my kid to be, I wouldn’t want him at any other childcare centre. Thank you for doing such a fabulous job especially throughout this past year. My two year old attends two days a week and loves it.

    I currently have one kid in pre-school and one in the childcare centre, and they are both discovering so much and enjoying being there. The team consistently do so much to help if we have any concerns. All of the team know and care for each kid individually and are exceptional at attentive for specific needs. The kids spend lots of their time outside and do truly enjoyable activities. Thank you so much for all you do!

    I have found the childcare centre to be remarkable. They have been so supportive and nurturing. The correspondence and updates from the childcare centre are excellent, I adore seeing photos and videos of what my daughter has been up to on the app and the management team respond quickly to any enquiries. The outside space is incredible and spends so much time playing and discovering outside in the different garden areas. I have consistently been impressed with the varied and healthy menu that’s offered to the kids and that all food is prepared and cooked on site. My daughter has enjoyed her time at Chestnut Childcare centre School @ Norwich Research Park so much and will miss it and the team when she starts school. I would suggest Chestnut Childcare centre School @ Norwich Research Park to everyone. Thank you! My daughter has been attending Chestnut Childcare centre School @ Norwich Research Park since her first birthday.

    She is currently in the baby’s room. She is consistently cheerful when I drop her off and pick her up. Her development has excelled, and this is down to the remarkable team at the childcare centre. She is truly settled here, and we can’t fault any of the team. They send us regular updates and photos via the app and also send us regular activity ideas, which we can do at home to assistance our daughter to develop further. I would suggest this childcare centre. My daughter has been attending the childcare centre since July 2022.

    The team are truly outstanding. They are not only highly qualified professionals but also attentive individuals who fostered a inviting and nurturing setting for the kids. Each teacher displayed a genuine passion for early childhood education and went above and beyond to create a stimulating and inclusive setting. They took the time to understand individual needs and interests, ensuring my little one felt valued and encouraged in their discovering journey. My kid is cheerful in the childcare centre, the team there are so compassionate and they are consistently supportive.

    It has been a first-class journey throughout, where they have completely cared for his holistic well being and personal development, with excellent care and attention to detail. When my son broke his wrist, the manager even hand-delivered a card that had been made by the other kids to our house, and they gave him remarkable care and assistance as he recovered. Outstanding updates, excellent leadership and absolutely fantastic ‘key persons’ in each of the rooms he’s been in as he grew up. Outstanding transitions throughout the rooms, making sure that he settles in well and is consistently supported. They were exceptional during covid – staying open to assistance all key workers. This is, in my opinion, by far the best childcare centre in Norwich. Their holiday camps are remarkable too. My son has attended Chestnut Childcare centre for the past three years since he was a toddler and I cannot thank all of the team enough for the remarkable care, assistance and pre-school education that has provided for him.

    The girls in the Innes Term Time room are so lovely and my son loves going to childcare centre and consistently comes home cheerful having had so much enjoyable. They accommodate needs such as naps or avoiding naps depending on plans outside of childcare centre. Handover is thorough at pick up. We are kept up to date with my sons development and were supported so well with his speech development. We are pleased to be sending our second son in September to the same room. I have nothing but praise for the childcare centre in all aspects.
