“Dear All the Staff at the Chelsfield Nursery. I just wanted to say a massive thank you for making me feel so welcome. Thank you for all the cups of teas and the free chocolates and cake aha. But overall, thank you for being so kind and helping to make this experience such a great one. Its been amazing and I wouldn’t change a thing. It would be amazing to work with you all again. I wish you all the best for the future. Love from Demi”


“Thank you !! Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for spending time with M and teaching her so many new things. Thank you for loving her and taking care of her! She loved coming to school and learning new things! I also want to thank you for always making time to chat to me and find out how I was doing!”


“Thanks for all that you’ve done with Florence & taking such good care of her. Finding the Nursery when I first arrived here 2 years ago was the best thing I did as it gave me a wonderful place for my daughter to go but it also gave me friends who I will treasure…….P.S See you again when Darcy is 2”

“It is a very emotional moment for the family today as Saina finishes her time at the Nursery. I can not thank you enough for all your love, support and guidance that you have offered to Saina over the past couple of years. We are really lucky that she is surrounded by so much love in the Nursery. I really appreciate how well you have transformed and influenced Saina. I am really thankful from the bottom of my heart. You will always be Saina’s first and best teacher”

“Thank you so so much for everything you have done for Jacob. Potty Training, Counting, ABC, letters and writing. You have been the best key worker I could have wished for. Thank you so much again and we will miss you so much. ”


“Thank you so much for being such a wonderful key worker for Hattie. She absolutely adores you and will really miss you. She has come on and developed so much during her time at the preschool and that is thanks to you for all the great care you have shown her.”


“What can I say?  What an amazing start for my little one!”

“Emily started Chelsfield Nursery at age 2, and this was the first time she had been away from a family member.  Initially she was distraught when dropping her off but the staff were just fabulous. They comforted her and devoted as much time as necessary to ensure she settled in well.  Soon she was skipping into pre-school and she enjoyed every minute of every day – especially the garden! Reflecting on the past 3 years we have many happy memories. The staff are kind, enthusiastic, encouraging and most of all care so much about every child.   They went above and beyond to ensure Emily was happy and learning, and because of this she grew in confidence every day.  She had a wonderful bond with her keyworker, Tracy, who made her laugh every day. I couldn’t have asked for a better start and we will both miss the nursery so very much. If I ever needed anything from Julie, the Manager, she bent over backwards to help me.  As a working mum, this was invaluable and I cannot thank Julie enough. There was always a warm welcome when the doors opened, no matter how early in the morning – Gary and Teresa were always jolly and smiling at the very early drop off!

Lastly, a massive thank you to all the staff as I know it is a team effort, you have all been amazing. ”


“Since starting at the Chelsfield nursery my son Tommy has gained confidence in many areas, thanks to a brilliant staff team and good friends he has made along the way. I feel as a parent that when my son is in the care of Chelsfield nursery that he is safe having lots of fun and is rewarded when he has done something good. My son loves his nursery and the staff members have been taking the time to sit and teach Tommy reading writing etc. and I have noticed considerable changes to his development. I am really pleased and very grateful to all the staff.”


“My daughter Abbey loves coming to pre-school and loves all the teachers. My Son who is now 5 years came to pre-school here and loved it too. The Staff are so friendly and caring towards the children and do so many different activities. I also have a 5 month old and when she is old enough she will be coming here too.I cannot recommend Chelsfield pre-school enough.”


“We can highly recommend Chelsfield Pre-school to any parent / guardian. Both our children have attended over the last 6 years. The teachers are so thoughtful, supportive and fun with the children/parents and guardians. Educating in learning through imaginary play & role, arts & crafts, story time, music, singing and much more. The Large outdoor play area was a big selling key to us. They love the pirate ship, castle, playhouses and just being able to run around.  It has been lovely watching our toddlers grow into happy confident little people! Thank You!”


“I am very happy with the Chelsfield pre-school, my son has been attending for more than 16 months and really looks forward to going, he loves being out in the garden and their outdoor space is amazing. The staff are all brilliant, I feel extremely comfortable in leaving my son in their care.”
