September 19, 2024 at 6:46 pmSenior management are very informative with updates. My daughter is very cheerful within the setting! Can’t fault them!
My only issue is with car parking – I know they have gained access to the church car park opposite recently but there is no secure crossing place on a busy main road. Incredible and very welcoming team!

October 10, 2024 at 11:05 pmWith the pandemic, take over and subsequent team churn, it proved to be a tricky time for all involved. Recently, I have found that some of the team a bit standoffish and will only engage if it suits them. Handovers are so supportive and when things are on the app it’s lovely to see what my kid has been up to. However, the app entries are still hit-and-miss.
Now we have a new manager, things inside the childcare centre are changing for the better, lots of improvements and procedures put in place that we’ve been asking for, for a long time. My kid is really cheerful at the childcare centre and had made many friends. Thank you everyone for looking out for my kid, it means the world. On the whole, our journey at Chestnuts Barnwood Day Childcare centre has been a great one.

October 19, 2024 at 12:30 amMy son has the best team in the 1-2 years room, the affection they have for him, the attention, dedication and didactic activities, where the money can’t pay for that.
It’s been like this since the baby’s room.

November 5, 2024 at 4:16 pmThe next step is to continue the consistency for the kids. My kids have loved their time there, we have seen them grow and development and be ready for reception class. The manager has brought in some excellent elements to allow us to see the progression of our kids such as the stay and plays, sports day and graduation of preschool. The team at Chestnuts is excellent, we have been through a big period of change and multiple team changes but the manager has led this change well and come out positive on the back of it.

December 20, 2024 at 7:25 pmThe team are all so welcoming and clearly know my son very well and care very much for him. He consistently talks enthusiastically about the enjoyable activities he has done at childcare centre and the lovely ladies looking after him. We are so glad we chose Chestnuts and would definitely suggest it. Thank you for all you do. Our son is very cheerful at Chestnuts Barnwood Day Childcare centre.

December 30, 2024 at 3:07 amMy son moved from another childcare centre after an awful time there. He settled in well and we noticed an almost immediate improvement in his development.
The team are welcoming and know every kid’s name, regardless if they care for them or not. The team also assistance parents with regular updates, tips and advice for home and give great quality handovers.
The childcare centre itself is full of exciting and enjoyable activities for all kids – they cater to all kids’s interests. Team concentrate and plan based on each kid as an individual but bring them together as a group to share interests.
I couldn’t wish for my son to be looked after by a better bunch.
Thank you Chestnuts Barnwood Day Childcare centre! Outstanding childcare centre!

April 5, 2025 at 11:25 amThe atmosphere is incredible, welcoming, well organised, all the team smile and consistently ready to help. It is a big enjoyable for kids, I can see the development of my kid, his English skills (English is his second language) also other skills like he started to dress himself, he feels confident and consistently very cheerful at the end of the day. He has learned a lot.
Thank you very much for everything. My family is thankful and we appreciate a lot every effort and patience and care from every member of team to our son.

May 1, 2025 at 2:18 pmShortly after, there was a change in management and throughout the upheaval, the team have shone through their dedication to the kids in the face of difficult conditions. Now he is in preschool and we are so cheerful we stayed with Chestnuts Barnwood Day Childcare centre.
The rooms and equipment are all in great condition with continuous improvements in the playtime areas as well as the building and streamlining pick-up (such as dedicated ringers for different rooms).
There is a much stronger management presence which helps everyone succeed and there is a constant feeling of care and kindness with lots of activities planned for the kids. I have also been impressed with the food that is available throughout the day.
Recently the main garden has been refurbished with fake turf however, the remaining gardens are still grass/mud, helping keep a balance between a great playtime space for running around while still having more natural spaces with plants. We have sent our son to this childcare centre since he turned 1.

Recently they have refurbished the garden and it looks phenomenal. I adore how structured the days are and how incredible all the team are at updating me on how he is getting on. My son has been to this childcare centre for just over two years now and he loves it so much.
