Chestnut Nursery Employee Reviews

Great working with the children. Some of the staff were a bit shady. Sometimes there were lazy staff that would rather watch you work then help. If everyone in the organisation was motivated i feel as if i would have stayed for longer.

working with kids is not for me and it was a good stepping stone and helped me realise my true love to do something else and did not involve other peoples kids.

Pros

freedom

Cons

kids

Very busy and productive

Childcare Practitioner (Current Employee) - Chesterton, Cambridgeshire - 2 November 2018

Very busy nursery, but need to employ more staff to enable the setting to run more smoothly. The staff are lovely to work with and are all friendly. Management are always available to discuss any grievances with staff to maintain the running of the business. The children are a pleasure to look after and care for and every day is different.

Nursery Helper (volunteer) (Former Employee) - Exeter, ENG - 15 October 2015

I learned a lot at chestnut nursery the staff were very supportive of my sons needs and health problems then they asked me to help out they couldn't offer me a permanent job at the time but the experience alone was worthwhile I got to learn to interact with children of nursery age and how to manage play time and where to let the children know it was time to sleep or have lunch etc.i was under a very supportive manager at the time and she was great with my son and supported me with the experience and college course that I was undertaking at the time as my son has very special needs so I need to find a job that worked around this

Pros

support, interaction, productive experience

Cons

it was the best work place i have ever worked in
