Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Nicholas House

There are no words I can use to stress how happy I am with the Nursery and Holiday Centre. The provisions in place are second to none. Facilities and upkeep of the premises and outdoor space is remarkable. Everything to aid a child’s learning, independence and wellbeing is readily available. I have never been to a setting with such incredible staff and management. I can not recommend this setting enough.

Since my child has started at Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Nicholas House I can see he has developed more social skills and academic achievements. I’m really happy with what activities they have done up to now in the nursery. Also, the nursery staff are kind and approachable and very supportive. I highly recommend this nursery.

I cannot speak highly enough of Chestnut St Nicholas House. Since the moment my son started, they have gone above and beyond to ensure he is settled and that his needs are met. The staff are professional, knowledgeable, caring, trustworthy…I could go on.
My son loves attending nursery and both my husband and I can go to work safe in the knowledge that he is being well cared for.
Thank you to all the staff for making my return to work as easy as possible.

Lovely nursery. It is decorated beautifully, the staff are caring and really take the time to get to know your child. There are many toys, all made from natural materials. There are different activities provided ie painting/messy play. They cater well with my child’s dietary requirements, providing generous portions of healthy food. My child feels very at home here.

With my wife and I both being new parents it was a rather daunting idea of handing our little girl over to strangers, albeit professionals! This fear, however, was eased greatly with the time and care initially received by the manager, she took a good amount of her time out reassuring my wife and I of the set-up at Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Nicholas House and how our little girl will be looked after. Explaining the routine in the room, the food that will be served and the activities she would be getting up to, all really encouraging and it was this that assured us St. Nicholas was the right place!
The whole handing over process was difficult going through the pandemic. Before the big first day came, it was suggested (as it is for all) we have a few introduction sessions. Here, our little girl met her key worker for the first time. She was wonderful, simply wonderful. Her warming nature made her go to her from the first minute. Easing our concerns from the start.
First-class staff, the lot of them. 5-star.

My twins were at the nursery for nearly two years. I always found the team to be warm and welcoming and to make really positive relationships with the twins. Any challenges were dealt with in a really sensitive and developmentally aware way. Both of my children really enjoyed their time here and progressed in many aspects of their development. They made some lovely, little friends and they really loved their networkers. I always found the managers and staff to be approachable and helpful.

Our son started at Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Nicholas House in January of this year and so far we have been so pleased with the nursery. He has been happy and settled and it is so rewarding seeing the relationship between him and the team developing – he is so happy to be dropped off there in the morning. We weren’t able to visit the nursery prior to him starting because of Covid, which was a really daunting thing, but the team were brilliant at keeping in contact with us to make the transition as easy as possible and the manager has been more than happy to answer all of our questions and put us at ease! They had an open day recently where we got to go in and look around the various rooms and the garden space – oh my god! I was blown away – it totally exceeded my expectations, it is such a smart nursery and the garden is just incredible! We are so happy to know he is being looked after so well and the environment is so lovely too!

My daughter has been at the nursery since the covid rules allowed it. The staff and facilities are excellent. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed herself and made a number of friends. She is a fussy eater but the staff still get her to eat well. The new garden that has been recently added is very good.

From the moment I made contact with Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Nicholas House, I was impressed by the warmth, enthusiasm and professionalism of the team at the nursery. Settling sessions accommodated our needs which resulted in a smooth transition for our child. The information provided at the start was excellent and the communication to date has continued in the same vain. For example, the management of a change in key worker was handled exceptionally well with clear communication in advance and plenty of support for our child during their transition. The staff are kind and energetic and set up lots of interesting activities for the children to keep them entertained and learning. Management care about each child’s experience at the nursery. One of the biggest highlights for us is the nursery’s outdoor space which is spectacular.

Our boy joined this nursery last year. He was very happy from the beginning. The staff are superb, they look after our boy amazingly. We always pick him up very happily.
Sadly, we have to move to another city because of work and they totally understand our situation, making things quite easy for us. Even we will finish a week early and they accepted.
If you are doubting what nursery to choose in North Walsham, please do not doubt anymore, Chestnut Boutique Nursery School @ St Nicholas House is your nursery, your child will be well looked after and he/she will enjoy every moment.
Highly recommended! We wish to have the same one in the new city.
