Chestnut Nursery School @ Earlham Grove

I am very pleased with this nursery because I have already seen improvement in my daughter’s development and she is very happy. The staff are brilliant and caring and the place itself is very nice and tidy. Thank you so much.

Chestnut Nursery is where my first daughter graduated last year and where my son is attending presently. It is a great Kindergarten! The staff are all remarkably caring, loving and kind towards the children and very friendly with parents. At their parents evenings, we get an opportunity to discuss what our children are doing at the nursery, their progress and how they are getting on developmentally and socially and the like. Both my husband and I are very grateful to the staff that helped her in her toilet training. They also encouraged my children to eat vegetables and fruit which seemed difficult for us initially. With resolves, sacrifice and patience, beautiful works carried out inside of the building and it is now cosier. Without good leadership and management from the nursery manager, the nursery would not have been running as smoothly as it does. The evident good teamwork and success of the nursery is a contributory factor to good leadership and it can be definitely summed up as such.

Chestnut Nursery at Earlham Grove has been fantastic for my son. He loves nursery and the staff and children and has learnt so much and surprises me every day. His behaviour and manners have exceeded my expectation and they learn so much. When I bring him home he is happy and content. Any issues that I bring up are always discussed in a positive manner. The staff are attentive and always put me at ease which makes bringing here like a second home. They are always happy to help especially when I have emergencies and I need care they always try to accommodate me. They make sure the children are busy with activities every day and are well fed and kept clean and I am always updated on his day which is no mean feat. Highly recommended and I will be sad to leave when he is ready for reception but it has been the best start for him. So thank you to all the team.

My son spent over three and a half years with the nursery. Excellent care and collaboration between myself and the staff. Great communication and genuine care in the development and well-being of my son. He left the nursery well prepared for his next steps in school. I will always highly recommend the care and services of this nursery.

As a family, we have only wonderful things to say about Chestnut Nursery School. For us, it was important that our children were both safe and happy, we wanted them to thrive socially and for their development to be supported by their childcare provider. In all regards, Chestnut at Earlham, excels. We feel total confidence in the staff. We know that our children are looked after, secure and happy. They love it there. The staff are kind, compassionate and calm. They have been like family to our children. Both of our children have attended Chestnut Nursery School and we have now had our children enrolled since 2019. We have therefore experienced their provision before, during and after the pandemic. All situations have been thoughtfully and knowledgeably managed. Settling in procedures are well considered and managed, and transitions from one age group to the next have been well supported. The setting is well equipped and feels warm and family style. We love it.

Both our children have attended Chestnut Nursery School @ Earlham Grove and we could not be happier. It is such a relief sending your children to a nursery that genuinely loves and cares for your children and has their development and well-being at the heart of what they do. The nursery is like a warm, welcoming, big family. All the staff are so wonderful, kind, skilled and passionate about every child. The baby room has recently been upgraded with wooden toys and lots of wonderful sensory activities and toys for them. The managers are excellent, providing regular and clear communication and always going the extra mile to ensure your child is having a positive experience. They work with parents to develop personal plans to support you in any area. We had this for settling in and potty training and it was great to feel like you’re a team. I feel lucky to be part of such a wonderful nursery community and highly recommend.
