May 23, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son is very happy at Chestnuts Barnwood Day Nursery. The staff are all so friendly and clearly know my son very well and care very much for him. He always talks enthusiastically about the fun activities he has done at nursery and the lovely ladies looking after him. We are so glad we chose Chestnuts and would definitely recommend it. Thank you for all you do.

May 23, 2023 at 12:00 amWe have sent our son to this nursery since he turned 1. Shortly after, there was a change in management and throughout the upheaval, the staff have shone through their dedication to the children in the face of difficult conditions. Now he is in preschool and we are so happy we stayed with Chestnuts Barnwood Day Nursery.
The rooms and equipment are all in good condition with continuous improvements in the play 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 children. 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 good play space for running around while still having more natural spaces with plants.

May 23, 2023 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery!
My son moved from another nursery after an awful time there. He settled in well and we noticed an almost immediate improvement in his development.
The staff are welcoming and know every child’s name, regardless if they care for them or not. The staff also support parents with regular updates, tips and advice for home and give good quality handovers.
The nursery itself is full of exciting and fun activities for all children – they cater to all children’s interests. Staff concentrate and plan based on each child 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 Nursery!

May 23, 2023 at 12:00 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.

May 23, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing and very friendly team! Senior management are very informative with updates. My daughter is very happy within the environment! 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 safe crossing place on a busy main road.

May 23, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been to this nursery for just over two years now and he loves it so much. Every morning he expresses to me how excited he is to go to nursery to see his friends, eat his favourite foods and play with all the toys. Recently they have refurbished the garden and it looks phenomenal. I love how structured the days are and how amazing all the staff are at updating me on how he is getting on.

June 1, 2023 at 12:00 amOn the whole, our experience at Chestnuts Barnwood Day Nursery has been a good one. With the pandemic, take over and subsequent staff churn, it proved to be a tricky time for all involved. Recently, I have found that some of the staff a bit standoffish and will only engage if it suits them. Handovers are so helpful and when things are on the app it’s lovely to see what my child has been up to. However, the app entries are still hit-and-miss.
Now we have a new manager, things inside the nursery are changing for the better, lots of improvements and procedures put in place that we’ve been asking for, for a long time. My child is really happy at the nursery and had made many friends. Thank you everyone for looking out for my child, it means the world.

June 4, 2023 at 12:00 amMy family is thankful and we appreciate a lot every effort and patience and care from every member of staff to our son. The atmosphere is amazing, friendly, well organised, all the staff smile and always ready to help. It is a big fun for kids, I can see the development of my child, his English skills (English is his second language) also other skills like he started to dress himself, he feels confident and always very happy at the end of the day. He has learned a lot.
Thank you very much for everything.

August 1, 2023 at 12:00 amThe team at Chestnuts is great, we have been through a big period of change and multiple staff changes but the manager has led this change well and come out positive on the back of it. The next step is to continue the consistency for the children. My children have loved their time there, we have seen them grow and progress and be ready for reception class. The manager has brought in some great elements to allow us to see the progression of our children such as the stay and plays, sports day and graduation of preschool.
