Your child’s first experience of school is crucial to influencing their future education. We know Chestnut Children are happy children who thrive and engage with our curriculum, helping them onto the next stage of their school life!

Why choose us?

Selecting a nursery for your child is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. At Chestnut Nursery Schools we provide high quality childcare and pre-school education to meet the most exacting standards.

All activities are carefully planned from the Early Years foundation Stage to meet every child’s individual needs. Activities are stimulating, challenging and progressive. Your child will be carefully observed and their progress recorded so that the next stage of activities can be planned for. Parents’ evenings are held three times a year for parents to look through work and discuss their child’s progress.

A typical day

During the nursery day, the children engage in purposeful play and exploratory activity. Each day is planned to provide a range activities and experiences from which children can develop and learn.

At Chestnut Nursery School all the children learn within the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. The EYFS is a framework that provides the guidance for and legal requirements of all Early Years practitioners, when they are supporting and guiding learning and development of children in their care.

Our staff

Staff at Chestnut Nursery Schools are a mixture of ages, sexes and cultures but all pride themselves in creating a welcoming secure and loving environment for the children.

All staff undergo a rigorous selection process to ensure the highest calibre of care. Together our managers and class leaders combine over 80 years of professional performance.

Alongside this, we regularly review performance and offer opportunities for ongoing training and development.
