Chiltern Nursery & Training College

The staff at Chiltern Nursery are very approachable and always ensure a comprehensive handover at the end of the day. They plan meaningful child-led activities which develop the children. They are supportive and as first-time parents, their advice is invaluable. We feel hugely lucky to be part of their community and can't wait to see how our son will continue to develop.

Our daughter has had a wonderful experience at Chiltern. She has progressed well with her learning and development with the help from the fantastic team. The meals are varied and healthy, and helpfully have expanded her choices and enjoyment of food. This has helped a lot with fussy eating. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The outside garden is particularly fun and engaging, with many activities. We would highly recommend Chiltern and the fantastic team there.

My youngest has been at Chiltern for 3 years and my eldest also went. We are really happy with all aspects of the nursery. Staff are great and help the children grow. The nursery has great ground and facilities. The staff in the Bees room are awesome.

Having had both my boys attend Chiltern over a number of years, I continue to have great confidence in what they do here. There is a depth of knowledge and expertise that leads to a stable and nurturing environment, with often quite staggering attention to details of development. Staff are always friendly, positive, and committed.

My son enjoys spending his days at the nursery. He loves being outdoors and gets to do this regularly in the great garden here. He started nursery at 12 months old, 8 months ago and after a week or so of settling in, it gave me great comfort knowing he was happy there. At pick-up some days he would see me and carry on with whatever he was doing, he was in no rush to leave. The recent family picnic event was enjoyable and gave a little insight to some of the various activities he can take part in. I feel reassured at drop off in the morning that my son will be happy and well taken care of by all the supportive and encouraging staff.

I feel incredibly lucky that my children have had the support and care that has been provided by their key workers at Chiltern Nursery. I am very happy with the nursery and would recommend them highly! One of my children has just left to go to school and I cannot fault the preparation that the key workers and management put in place to help with the transition. I feel that they genuinely care about my children and that is the most you can hope for.

Our children are thriving here!

Very happy with the nursery - excellent, supportive, staff and management team. Baby rooms are responsive to the needs of younger children and over 2's rooms have lots of activities and free flow across all 6 rooms. The gardens and outdoor space are wonderful and very well-equipped. The staff gives detailed 8-weekly assessments of progress and offers parents evenings and family events. Would highly recommend it.

I am looking forward to my son being able to enjoy the facilities throughout the years!

I am so impressed with the care my son receives in Halliday's room at Chiltern Nursery. The new room leader is such a wonderful woman who knows our child inside and out and shares our enjoyment in his development each day. I love the massive outdoor area and the amount of time the kiddies are out playing in the fresh air. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff.

Great experience, a staff member was very comprehensive in terms of the child's development and learning and showed the entire play area he has access to. Other staff members were also helpful and supportive, many thanks.

Overall we are very happy with the care provided. Both our kids are well looked after, we get good feedback from the carers at the end of the day and via the parent app. Admission and changing set days however is quite inflexible. We also had some issues with billing regarding the sibling's discount.

Wonderful nursery. All staff are always happy and positive and are always willing to take time to answer any questions. We really enjoyed the Family Christmas event and look forward to more events like this. I would 100% recommend Chiltern Nursing & Training College.

Chiltern is a fantastic nursery. The teams we have been supported by have all been amazing and my daughter loves her time there. The team work to really get to know the children and families and support through transitions, potty training, encouraging new foods and much more. The nursery facilities are excellent, with lovely rooms, lots of resources and lots of opportunities for outside play and exploration. My daughter has grown in confidence and independence during her time at Chiltern and I would highly recommend the nursery.

As both a parent and a teacher with experience in early years, I can't sing enough praises for Chiltern Nursery. Their nurturing approach has played a pivotal role in fostering my son's confidence and independence, which means the world to me. Additionally, the incredible gardens provide a perfect environment for my son to play and grow. Chiltern Nursery truly offers an exceptional place for children to thrive.

This nursery is a really special place. Fabulous, caring, and dynamic staff, gorgeous surroundings, and so many brilliant activities to nurture young minds. We have sent both of our children here from 6 months old and are so lucky they have started their lives and educations here. We (half) jokingly say that we would happily have another child just to stay a part of this wonderful community of carers and educators.

We have had children in Chiltern Nursery since 2017, with our youngest still there. It's simply a wonderful, fun, safe, nurturing place for little ones. They do so many creative activities and the outdoor space is amazing and keeps them connected to nature. The menu and meals provided are great. All the staff are wonderful, whether it's the maintenance team, key persons, room leaders, other staff, or management. They really seem to care about providing the best environment possible for little ones to flourish, encourage independence and to develop their own personalities.

This is a wonderful nursery and we're so happy to send our children here. The staff are fantastic, all so kind and nurturing. Many have worked there for many years, which is brilliant and ensures consistency in your child's care. The trainees are very well supported and really great with the children too. Highly recommend!

I feel confident with the staff, and the care. The one to one relationships she’s built up with staff members have been key to her growing into a confident young girl, very ready for her move to school.

Brilliant nursery. They do so many wonderful activities. The outside space is great, and we love that they spend so much time outdoors. Our son is really flourishing at Chiltern Nursery, thanks to the care and attention of the staff in his room.
