Chalk Hill Pre School

About this day nursery

Chalk Hill Pre-School, located in Watford, WD19 4DA, caters to children from two years old up to school age, offering a nurturing environment that distinguishes between age groups: 'Caterpillars' for 2-3 year olds and 'Butterflies' for 3-4 year olds in their final year before school. The Pre-School operates with a waiting list and prioritises a minimum of two sessions per week to ensure children settle into a routine, though exceptions may occur during full capacity.

A three-week written notice and payment are required for withdrawal. As a charitable, committee-led pre-school, Chalk Hill actively fosters a strong sense of community by involving parents and guardians in its operations and fundraising efforts.

The fees are set to cover operational costs, with all additional funds raised through various events used to acquire new equipment and resources for the children. They also accept Gift Aid via HMRC due to their charitable status.

The 'Chalk Hill Friends' committee, comprising a chairperson, treasurer, secretary, and other members, plays a crucial role in orchestrating these events and managing the pre-school’s charitable endeavours.
