Our Christmas Grotto is now ready for a socially distanced visit from Father Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone!! 🎅🎄

Xmas is coming and the Chiltern Nursery gardens are now decorated with fairy lights for all our children, parents and staff to enjoy in the run up to Xmas

We made a socially distanced 25 year presentation to Vanessa Milne, who has completed 25 years working at Chiltern. To do this safely in a socially distanced way required Vanessa to climb onto one of our fire escapes. Thank you Vanessa for all your hard work over the years.

Our 2 year old children are coming back into nursery next week, following 3/4 year olds and key worker children who came back last month. We feel sure that they will settle as quickly as our first group and we can’t wait to have them back!

We are now in week 2 of our reopening of nursery for 3/4 year olds and keyworker children. We were very pleased with how well last week went. The children quickly adapted to the new arrangements put in place in nursery due to the pandemic.

We now have a forum on our website (chilternntc.com) for our nursery parents and those registered to start at Chiltern, along with our Nursery Staff. We feel this is a good way to stay in touch during lockdown. If you aren't registered yet email [email protected]
