“Our daughter has been attending Chestnut House for the last 12 months, we have found both management and staff to be very friendly and accommodating. Our daughter settled in the nursery within a very short space of time. The 1-2 staff has made our daughters days at the nursery fun and stimulating. All the staff are very positive and caring. We feel Chestnut House provide quality care for our daughter”.

FAO all parents: Please could we ask that when dropping off your child at nursery that bikes, scooters etc. are not left as currently we do not have the capacity to keep them. Parents are welcome to leave their child's pram if their child is going to require it during their nursery day.
Many thanks,
Management team. ... See MoreSee Less

We are excited to announce that we have a new pre-school room leader, Amanda. Amanda has joined our team with over 10 years previous experience in a variety of areas of childcare, including a childcare degree. As Amanda started with our team last Monday, some of you may have already had the pleasure of meeting her and seeing some of the exciting changes that are happening in our pre-school.

We would also like to congratulate Stacey and Lauren on their promotion to Deputy Managers following Sophie's departure as she is off on her travels around the world. Stacey and Lauren have both been part of our team for over 6 years and we are looking forward to the new ideas that they will bring to our management team. ... See MoreSee Less
