Chiltern Nursery is an integral part of Chiltern Nursery & Training College, which is a registered charity. We have been offering the highest standards of care, education and training since 1931. Our nursery provides high quality care and education for children from 3 months to 5 years of age in a homely, caring environment. Our college provides high-quality training which supports trainees to gain their level 3 EYE qualification over a 2-year programme.

We are situated in Caversham, on the outskirts of Reading. Our nursery buildings and grounds include large, well-equipped gardens that provide an excellent environment in which children can play, learn and develop.

As a Trustee you will have an active role in setting strategic direction and overseeing the performance, management and financial health of the Nursery, College and the Charity. We are particularly looking for individuals with a background in Early Years and/or Safeguarding. We will however consider applications from those with a passion for what we do who do not have any of the above areas of expertise. Trustees are required to attend 4 meetings per year which are held in person for a few hours within a working day. Additionally, a tour of the setting is organised annually or as and when required.
