Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Giles

The team and management truly assistance our decisions and choices as parents and it’s lovely to know he’s somewhere he loves and is flourishing. We’re so cheerful we chose Chesnut St Giles. Our son is so cheerful at Chesnut Boutique Childcare centre School @ St Giles!

The setting is handily central and strikes the right balance of being secure but welcoming, homely but stimulating and somewhere to learn. Our two kids were highly cheerful here until the COVID lockdown in March 2020.
What let the place down though was an inconsistent approach to reporting back to parents about discovering and development outputs and outcomes. Other nurseries communicate weekly development reports by email, this one sends links for such information occasionally. The transition report for the school that our daughter went onto contained no information to assist in her childcare centre based developments or achievements to date. Compared to the reams of information that other nurseries passed on regarding classmates, this was a threadbare, half-hearted tickbox exercise that went only as far as revealing a favourite book.
As we say though, the team are excellent and positive developments in our kids did take place. The team at this childcare centre are fantastic.

At first, I was slightly worried about the outdoor space as it is quite small for the babies and there were some elements that looked like it could be refurbished in the little garden. However, my son has loved playing in it and I realised now you don’t necessarily need a lot of space for the babies outdoors. Care and discovering have been remarkable, all the team have been exceptional and my son loves the food. I sense his speech and personality have come on a lot more since starting childcare centre. The only downside I would say is that we don’t get a lot of photos posted on the app, especially in the early days when he first started as it would have been more reassuring but this is the only negative, we are loving the childcare centre. My little boy started in August 2022 aged 13 months.

My son likes to go to childcare centre. He is saying “Lovely childcare centre “. My kid learned lots of new words and rhymes from childcare centre. Location of childcare centre is highly near the city. Childcare centre team are highly welcoming and welcoming.

He started when he was 2 and we had never left him with anyone else for more than 2/3 hours. That means we were highly anxious about him starting childcare centre as we had no idea how he would react.
The team was incredible and arranged for settling in sessions for 5 days – that gave us a week to actually sit with him in his room and made the whole transition so much smoother. It made us sense so at ease because we had the opportunity to actually see how the team is around kids, what sort of activities they do, what sort of food they eat, cleaning standards, etc.
Our son is bilingual, when he started 1 year ago he could only say a handful of English words, he is now 3 and a half and pretty much fluent on both English and Portuguese, and all the English came from school!
There’s daily app updates on meals, pictures, activities, etc.
A massive thank you to everyone for being so incredible! Our son has attended Chestnut Boutique Childcare centre School @ St Giles since January 2020 and we are exceptionally cheerful with every single aspect of his care.

My daughter is so cheerful and cannot wait to go to ‘school’ every morning.
The team are highly supportive and have outstanding knowledge of kid development and how to assistance discovering and engagement. I sense they know my daughter and understand her needs highly well.
The childcare centre consistently has a excellent range of activities on offer, with a mix of kid-led and adult-directed. The team maintain the resources and the setting to a highly high standard, which is not an easy task I’m sure.
I would not hesitate to suggest Chestnut Boutique Childcare centre School @ St Giles, such a special place. This childcare centre is absolutely lovely.

We placed both our kids here from nine months and the benefits the childcare centre has had on their social and updates skills have been incredible. One kid is currently at the setting and is thriving. The team are highly approachable and seem to take a real interest in the kids. Chestnut in St Giles is a lovely childcare centre with a attentive, nurturing setting.

The team are nurturing and welcoming. My kid loves going to childcare centre and constantly talks about it at home. I can’t suggest this childcare centre enough, they are doing an incredible job under tough circumstances.

The team are lovely and attentive whilst expert, organised and keen to encourage the kids to flourish. The food they provide is varied and healthy. They are in an outstanding, city-centre location which suits us highly well, and their various rooms are well-resourced. The Parentzone app is a excellent way to keep up with how our kid is getting on in the day, and they update it regularly throughout the day. We remember the worried feeling of sending our little daughter to childcare centre for the first time, but we are glad that we’ve chosen St Giles childcare centre as they have put our fears at ease. We are cheerful to have sent our daughter to Chestnut Boutique Childcare centre School @ St Giles.

We are truly satisfied with the service provided and the professionalism of the team and management; this has been especially notable during Covid times. The team show a keen interest in the wellbeing of the kids and the feedback is consistently useful. Kids are also highly well catered for with a wide ranging menu. We would certainly suggest this childcare centre. Our 2 boys are currently attending Chestnut Boutique Childcare centre School @ St Giles, our oldest started in early 2020 and our youngest started last September.
