Management seem to only be interested in money and are often rude, patronising and very unhelpful. My son was regularly extremely dehydrated and starving hungry when he came home from the nursery.

The handover at the end of the day often doesn't align with what's noted on the app which leaves me with little confidence on what to trust as the truth - especially when it comes to what he had eaten! I was frequently given feedback that my son had been crying for hours with no suggestion on why or what could be done to help him feel more comfortable, and when I raised this with the director I was told that he actually doesn’t cry much and again I have little confidence in what is the truth. The nursery frequently stinks and the toys look old and shabby. There were 2 occasions where my son had soiled his nappy on the way to nursery and even though I told staff straight away his nappy wasn't changed for 50 minutes. From my experience, the management and office staff are unwilling to accommodate for any preferences I have had, and I have found their policies to have very little flexibility. My son was always unhappy to go to nursery and would sit on the pavement and refuse to move whenever he realised he was going to nursery. He never wanted to walk inside the room and I never witnessed him express any joy or happiness towards any staff. I've now found another nursery in the area which is so much better and my son literally runs inside and waves excitedly at all of the staff. My experience with Chapel nursery has been challenging from start to finish and I do not recommend it whatsoever.\n\nEdit: I received a message from the nursery director threatening me with legal action unless I remove my review!
