After removing my child from a previous setting where I felt he wasn’t receiving the support he needed, I found Little Chestnuts Preschool in Purfleet—a truly outstanding setting. It embraces an inclusive approach and ensures every child is seen, supported, and valued. The nursery manager - Jodie Lucas - brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, and the entire team is consistently attentive, thorough, and compassionate. My child, with additional needs has made remarkable developmental progress, thanks to the nursery’s exceptional and personalised care. The SEND provision is simply phenomenal. My child has developed a strong, trusting bond with his key worker – Cloe - and feels safe, supported, and understood. It’s clear that the staff are deeply committed to each child’s wellbeing and development. The setting has also been consistently prompt, proactive, and adaptable in introducing new adjustments to meet my child’s evolving needs. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent or carer in the Purfleet area—especially those looking for a nurturing, inclusive, and supportive environment for a child with SEND.

I cannot thank the team enough for all they have done to support my child’s development and for the vital role they’ve played in preparing him for his transition to reception.
