May 24, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Little Chestnuts Day Nursery since February 2021 when she had just turned 1 year old. We were concerned about how she would settle being a lockdown baby and not having a lot of contact with others except immediate family and not being able to settle her in myself, but am happy to say that all of the staff have been amazing with her and she is so settled and happy. She loves going there and always has a smile when I hand her over. I get feedback on how her day has been each time I pick her up. The staff are so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much. Her physical and social skills have progressed hugely since going to Little Chestnuts. Thank you to all the staff who work there.

May 24, 2021 at 12:00 amAbsolutely wonderful staff, I absolutely adore the fact that the nursery nurses are doing a great job and working very hard to keep the children happy, safe, clean, teaching them, complying with procedures, following rules etc. To go into more detail, the nursery is very complex by employing nursery nurses who look after the kids in different ways. This way, they make sure the kids are not missing out on anything. They make a great team at Little Chestnuts, always super attentive, very cautious, extremely polite, and proactive. No issue is too big for them. At no point, I felt that my child was unsafe or not looked after in the best way possible. Thank you, ladies!

January 26, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child loves this nursery. Always wants to go, even on his days off. The staff are all lovely and friendly. They always do everything to help and make it a fun experience. Even with them moving they are accommodating the change in days for us and my son is looking forward to going to the farm.

February 8, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended nursery since September 2020 and overall I’ve always been very happy with the care she receives. In November 2021 she changed the routine to five days a week. The staff were very helpful to go through the change and helped her settle down. Very supportive team, helpful, kind, and likeable. My daughter absolutely loves her days in nursery. I can see that she learns new things daily and develops very well. I definitely feel I made the right choice choosing this nursery and strongly recommend it to others.

February 14, 2022 at 12:00 amMy two children had such a great time at Camp MK over the Christmas holidays. Every day was different and they always came home with piles of paintings, drawings and cooking. They can’t wait to return. Thank you for making their time so enjoyable.

March 18, 2022 at 12:00 amI was quite nervous about sending my little one to nursery but I couldn’t have picked a better nursery for her than Little Chestnuts. From the very start, we were welcomed with loving and open arms and had felt like my daughter had been attending for years, that’s how comfortable I had been made to feel within such a short period of time.
All members of staff ensured my daughter had the best time while she was in their care. I could comfortably call up to check how my daughter was getting on and then would receive an in-depth handover when it was time to pick up. I loved how the staff followed your routine that you have at home as much as possible and that every few weeks, your child gets a focus week, which was really useful as that way myself and the staff could work together to encourage my daughter to, for example, take her first steps. It was lovely seeing the evidence of how your child is developing as you get an info pack at the end of each focus week. Thank you Little Chestnuts.

They really create a fun and loving environment for all children. They genuinely care about your children and any needs they may have. Every member of staff are amazing at their job. I cannot recommend them or thank them enough.

December 5, 2022 at 12:00 amWonderful nursery with lovely staff. My child struggled to settle due to being a COVID baby, the staff were warm and welcoming and patient.
I love that the children visit the farm and feed the animals.
I highly recommend this nursery.

December 16, 2022 at 12:00 amMy child has been with the nursery since he was 9 months old and the staff have been amazing since day 1. Nursery is clean, the outdoor space is fabulous and overall the grounds are amazing.
I never worry when I leave my child, he walks in happy to arrive and the staff treat him like their own child. Amazing staff, overall, I can’t fault this nursery, keep up the good work guys.

January 11, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing staff, my daughter loves attending the preschool room and she looks forward to going every time, as the staff are so engaging and committed to her development as an individual. Comprehensive updates each day at pick-up time to let me know how the day has gone. A great mix of indoor and outdoor activities, my daughter has made friends here and enjoys the social aspect in a warm, friendly and nurturing environment. Highly recommend Little Chestnuts at Thrift Farm

March 15, 2023 at 12:00 amAbsolutely love our decision to bring our daughter to this nursery.
The staff are fantastic. As soon as we had our settling-in sessions I knew it’d be a great place for our child.
The team are very caring and I feel so comfortable leaving our child at the nursery.
She has only been going for a few months and we are seeing so much change and development. The app is also great. Highly recommend.

March 15, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has recently joined this nursery and he absolutely loves it. When we looked around we loved the outdoor and indoor provisions and the opportunity to visit the farm on a regular basis. The children go to the farm whatever the weather and it is a joy to see them all so excited from their farm trip. The team are incredible and made us feel so welcome as a family. They take the time to get to know your child and create well thought out provision areas to capture the children’s attention and develop their imagination. On the settling in sessions, we used the early years foundation stage standards to highlight where our son was and the nursery use this to shape his own personal learning journey to nurture his development. My son joined the toddler room and we loved how they helped foster his independence and develop his confidence. Our daughter joins the baby room later this year. We are so pleased that we chose Little Chestnuts at Thrift Farm, I know our children will thrive there and I highly recommend them.

March 22, 2023 at 12:00 amOur son joined Little Chestnuts in August 2022 having been with a childminder since a baby. The staff went above and beyond to help him adjust and settle. He gained confidence over a few weeks and his development has come on significantly since. He absolutely loves being outside and on the farm and looks forward to going evryday. The staff supported him to master potty training, working with us to ensure they carried out things similar to home. We have three children and have experience with several settings- Little Chestnuts is certainly one of the best!

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending Little Chestnuts at Thrift Farm Day Nursery since she was just 16 months old. We moved over to the farm with you too. She started in babies and is now moving on to pre-school in two weeks.
I have nothing but good words to say about her experience, what a fantastic place to send your baby/child. I felt at ease from the off and the artwork she brings home is amazing. She has learnt and grown beyond my expectations with Little Chestnuts and I do and will continue to recommend the nursery to my friends and family.

July 4, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter joined the baby room almost a year ago and absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing and so caring towards the children.
My daughter loves being outside in the garden and visiting the farm. The farm-based nursery is such a great idea and I am so glad we chose Thrift Farm.
She has learnt so much in her time at nursery and I cannot wait to see how much more she will learn as she moves up into the toddler room.
I cannot fault this nursery at all. Thank you all so much for all you have done.

July 10, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended Little Chestnuts for a few months in the toddler room, prior to this in the baby room. Since establishing contact with the nursery I have felt supported as a parent and that every staff member has been kind, professional, and took time to build a relationship with my daughter. The way in which she was given time to settle, transition, build confidence and grow has been exceptional and a lovely thing to see. Every day is a joy to come and she heads straight in and knows her key worker and those who are there to support her. Communication is great from the beginning to the end of each day.
