September 17, 2024 at 1:23 amBoth of her key workers couldn’t do enough and it’s been a great period. It made her and more so me more comfortable especially as we had just welcomed our second baby in December so there was a lot of change happening. We joined the early‑years hub in January 2022 in the under 2 room and my young lady had a great journey. However, the way the nursery setting handled the transition to the over 2 room was just incredible.

September 18, 2024 at 2:00 amLast but not least, the outdoor spaces are extremely generous and a clear advantage of this early‑years hub. Our boys had individual attention plans developed to take care of their dietary and medical needs and it has been truly reassuring that we have not experienced any mishaps throughout the years. Both of our kids have been going full-time to this childcare centre and we had great experiences throughout the different rooms and teams of crew. The provision of activities have always been thoughtfully prepared to benefit children’s progress and creativity. I’ve been especially impressed with the professionalism of the different team groups – from management, key persons to kitchen crew. We will miss this place when our younger one goes to school.

October 22, 2024 at 8:35 amWorld Book Day, Children In Need etc.). there is no flexibility for swapping days on the ad hoc,0 even in extenuating circumstances). I made the decision to go back to work when they were 6 months so it wasn’t easy handing them over so young but the personnel are wonderful and, as a result, I have never looked back. The only negative is that the rules and regulations are extremely strict (e.g. Both my daughters attend(ed) Chiltern Nursery & Training College and from day one I have felt at ease. In the previous six to twelve months I have also seen much better contact and we now have regular events that the little ones can participate in which fit with the wider world (e.g. The babies, toddlers and preschool activities are so well thought out and allow the little ones to remain youngsters. I would however add that this does not impact how thrilled my daughters are/were and I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest Chiltern to friends and family.

October 24, 2024 at 8:24 pmOur little one is really flourishing at Chiltern Nursery, thanks to the support and attention of the crew in his room. They do so many wonderful activities. The outside space is great, and we enjoy that they spend so much time outdoors. Brilliant childcare centre.

November 9, 2024 at 7:00 pmEveryone we have met over the years has been so dedicated and professional, time and time again we have been blown over by their commitment and talent and positive attitude, they are always making sure kids aren’t just okay but really having fun and absorbing loads. We could not suggest them strongly enough, what an exceptional nursery setting! We have been with Chiltern Nursery & Training College for five years now, both of our youngsters started from the baby rooms and the younger one is still in the over 2s. We have been extremely thrilled with the childcare centre, the personnel are just incredible. Both of our kids have made such strong connections with various team members, they talk about them at home and are always thrilled to go in in the mornings.

November 9, 2024 at 7:28 pmMy young lad suffers from febrile convulsions when he has a high temperature and the entire team have provided fantastic assistance to us as a family. Following the first convulsion, the team put a detailed attention plan in place and when he, unfortunately, had a convulsion during the day while at early‑years hub they dealt with the situation in the most caring but also professional way. He has a truly special bond with all of the team and he is growing into a truly sociable and assured little boy. I cannot praise the early‑years hub and particularly the team enough. It isn’t always easy sending your little ones to nursery setting but Chiltern Nursery & Training College make it much easier and the peace of mind knowing that our little one is in the best possible place is priceless. We know that our little one is in the safest of hands and he is incredibly delighted and adores going to childcare centre! My little one went to Chiltern Nursery & Training College and my little one is currently attending the nursery setting.

November 9, 2024 at 9:36 pmStaff are excellent and extremely interested and caring. The outside garden is excellent and has lots of different areas to enjoy. My youngster treasures going to Chiltern Nursery & Training College. He is always going in with a smile.

December 18, 2024 at 2:59 pmBoth my sons have gone to Chiltern Nursery & Training College and they have both enjoyed it. It’s an excellent setting for them to grow up in. The range of activities they get to do throughout the day is fantastic and no way could I offer the same at home. The team are so cordial and know the kids really well. They both made really good friends. Thank you Chiltern! My youngest is still at Chiltern and literally cheers each morning “it’s a nursery setting day”.

January 8, 2025 at 6:18 pmMy young lady was enrolled at Chiltern Nursery & Training College and my other girl and boy currently join the early‑years hub. Our little ones have always thoroughly enjoyed their time at childcare centre and are eager to go in the morning. There is a wide range of creative activities to challenge the kids and the imagination of the team means every day there is something new for them to explore and journey. Although the nursery setting is large, the friendliness of the team means there is a real family feel. They have really thrived in the welcoming and helpful space that the crew create.

January 14, 2025 at 1:27 pmI cannot advocate the early‑years hub enough. Not only are the youngsters looked after so well but they discover so much through effective absorbing through games. I have two little ones at Chiltern Nursery & Training College and have always been so impressed with the attention all kids are given. The crew are absolutely wonderful and both of our little ones treasure going to nursery setting in the morning. The little ones are all encouraged to try different foods through a varied menu and they are even taught about table manners through collaborative meal times with their peers and the team. The kids spend lots of time outside in the well-equipped grounds and outdoor activities vary from day to day.

January 31, 2025 at 4:29 pmMy 1.5-year-old has a good time in the early‑years hub with the varied activities they do every day. They have the youngster and his needs at the centre of all their plans. They are extremely approachable and easy to have a chat with. The crew and his key worker are incredible individuals.

February 6, 2025 at 9:58 pmWe absolutely enjoy Chiltern Nursery & Training College for our kid who has been attending since they were 1. The food is also exceptional; freshly made on-site and covers all of their nutritional needs, particularly with little ones who have allergies and intolerances. I feel reassured when I drop my little one at Chiltern in the morning, knowing they are going to be looked after, encouraged and allowed to develop in their own way. The outdoor sites are excellent with large games areas and plenty to explore. Thank you to all the personnel who make this such a special and engaging place. The personnel are wonderful, caring and supportive and they spend time with you talking about your youngster, making sure you feel involved in their day-to-day advancement and activities.

February 27, 2025 at 6:27 pmThe one to one relationships she’s built up with personnel members have been key to her growing into a self‑assured young girl, exceptionally ready for her move to school. I feel confident with the team, and the support. She is always doing new activities and challenges which keep her engaged and she adores going in every day. My girl has been at Chiltern Nursery for over 3.5 years and it’s been great.

March 15, 2025 at 1:52 pmI always receive a brief from team on her day when I pick her up. She has built strong bonds with the crew. Our young lady is enrolled at Chiltern Nursery & Training College on a full-time basis. I am grateful that our young lady had the opportunity to enrol at this childcare centre. She has learned a number of abilities at early‑years hub which she uses at home. I have always found the crew to be caring considerate and professional. Our little one treasures spending time at early‑years hub. I am always assured and impressed with the energy and enthusiasm crew bring to work.
Thomas Jackson
March 22, 2025 at 7:07 pmHe has settled in really well and all the crew have been extremely welcoming and have put us all at ease exceptionally quickly. We have so far been extremely impressed. He has also developed really well since starting and is now eating food independently and sleeping much better! They are really approachable and always have time to discuss our son’s day at pick-up. Our boy has seemed to have already built really strong bonds with his key worker and all the personnel in his room. Our kid started at Chiltern Nursery & Training College at the beginning of the year. He seems to cherish all the activities they set up.

April 30, 2025 at 10:07 amOver a period of four years with two different kids, I am constantly impressed by the quality of care and help Chiltern Nursery & Training College have provided. Perhaps because of the college, there is a great strength in depth in the organisation. Sending him there, rather than feeling like a dismayed act born out of necessity, is something I confidently feel is enhancing his experiences. Most of all, I have developed complete trust both in Chiltern and the many individual personnel. There are many special personnel who go the extra mile. There is a sense of self-awareness about the place – they constantly improve, consider and try new approaches, always with a goal of optimising the support they’re giving the kids. I don’t hesitate to suggest Chiltern to other parents. There is no place I would rather my young lad be, nor people I would rather have looking after him.

May 13, 2025 at 8:33 amThe crew are truly professional, cordial and communicative and we trust them with our daughter’s overall support and well-being. In time, we believe it will also provide the best help for her transition to the school space. We are glad that we made this choice for our little one and feel that Chiltern is the best place for her continued growth and advancement as a toddler. Chiltern Nursery & Training College provides an excellent setting for our little one to discover and develop. The nursery setting is exceptionally communicative about all aspects of childcare and progress.

May 14, 2025 at 10:39 pmThe sites are great and hygienic and there’s a lot of space with natural light. I’m really thrilled with the place and also the people that make it so special and I am thrilled to see how much my little one developed and changed since coming first to Chiltern Nursery & Training College. The garden facilities are exceptional with lots of space to run around, climb and games. The crew are superb and really welcoming and they have extensive knowledge and time which impressed me a lot. Fantastic nursery setting, catering for my daughter’s physical, mental, creative and emotional advancement and well-being.

May 18, 2025 at 1:20 amThere is a varied menu which is changed seasonally. The crew are caring, fun, kind, professional, enthusiastic and have lots of ideas for different activities for the youngsters. All in all, a brilliant nursery setting which has given our youngster a fantastic start! It is great to see the photos and descriptions of what our little one is doing that week via the app which the early‑years hub uses. There is a good amount of outdoor space to activities in. Our kid really enjoys going to nursery setting.

June 22, 2025 at 4:37 amThere is a soft games area and the gardens are fantastic and extremely well kept. It is our child’s delighted place! Our kid absolutely treasures the childcare centre, the friends and the personnel. There is always something going on, even for the truly young ones. The kids activities frequently outside even in the early years. They do plenty of activities/celebrations all year round.
