About Little Chestnuts Day Nursery & Pre-School
ADJACENT TO CHESTNUTS PRIMARY SCHOOL, BLETCHLEY
Little Chestnuts Day Nursery & Pre-School is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm.
Embracing nature-based play, the Nursery and Pre-School rooms boast free-flow access to our gardens, whilst inside children have plenty of natural resources.
Children are encouraged to grow their own flowers, play in the mud kitchen and go on bug hunts. Whilst indoors they can play with wooden toys and ‘real’ vegetables in the play kitchens.
Throughout the week there are a lot of activities for children to choose from. Weekly, we run Mini Striker session to encourage co-ordination and Pre-schoolers also attend our Forest School sessions. Taking place at The Childcare Hub, children build campfires, climb trees and build dens.
As you would expect from a quality Nursery and Pre-School, all menus are prepared by a nutritionist, freshly prepared and meets the Red Tractor food standard.
Working with parents and carers
To help build relationships with you and your child, you will have a designated key person at Little Chestnuts Day Nursery and Pre-School.
In between formal reviews, they will provide your daily updates. Our formal reviews tracking your child’s development, happen monthly in the baby room, every 5 weeks in the Toddler Room and every 10 weeks in the Pre-School room.
Should your child require additional support for special education needs, disabilities or speak English as a second language, please ask how the team can help.
We also accommodate the 15 and 30 hour government grants.
