Katie Macnamara, Manager of Children 1st Chesterfield Nursery School by Storal, said: “Coming from our parents, this is the recognition that matters most to us. The team at Chesterfield works hard to create an environment where children feel settled, happy and excited to learn, and where families feel welcomed and listened to. It’s wonderful to see that come through in what parents have said, and I want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to share their experience of the nursery.”

Sarah Mackenzie, CEO of Storal, added: “It’s a brilliant achievement for the team at Chesterfield. It reflects the relationships our staff build with parents, and the high standards we work to across all of our settings, the majority of which are rated over 9 out of 10 on daynurseries.co.uk. With Storal also named in the Top 20 nursery groups in the UK, it’s brilliant for everyone involved. My thanks to every family in Chesterfield who took the time to share their feedback.”
