Welcome to Chatterbox Pre-school

Growing young minds through adventure and play

Chatterbox is term time only, providing childcare between 8:30am – 3pm.  Our fantastic setting is tucked away within the Trenchard Lines military camp and is proud to open its doors to all children aged 2-5 years in the surrounding area.

Our large indoor setting provides a nurturing and warm environment for our children to learn and play, whilst our expansive outdoor area is an environment full of adventures including our newly renovated playground and our secret forest garden beyond.

Albert Einstein once said that “play is the highest form of research”.  At Chatterbox it is our primary aim that children learn through a wide range of experiences along with free and structured play, which sets the foundation for their onward journey into primary education.

Open to all 2–5 year-olds

A selection of feedback from some of our parents & carers

What a special place Chatterbox preschool is. If you are looking for a nursery that offers plenty of wonderful outdoor space for your child to explore, a caring and supportive learning environment, healthy and nutritious meals and a place where your child will be excited to attend everyday then look no further. Chatterbox preschool offers all of this and more and we cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. The wonderful staff take great care of the children and my child has been happy there since the day he started. You really will be leaving your child in the best of care.

My son has been going to Chatterbox for a while now and it is safe to say he LOVES it. He often asks if it’s a nursery day and when he can go back!! Chatterbox has just had a huge face-lift and it is absolutely amazing and I really do feel like my son is getting the most from his pre-school experience and more. The staff are just wonderful too and the care and compassion is evident.

My daughter attended Chatterbox from when she had just turned 2 and not long after the first lockdown. This was her first setting and she loved it from the start. The staff and other children made her feel so welcome that she was soon asking to go every day. The extensive outdoor and woodland area was a real favourite with the freedom to explore and learn. Having since moved to a new area, it has been impossible to find something as nice and I know will always have great memories of our time at Chatterbox.

Chatterbox is a fantastic setting with plenty of space to explore and play.  Easy access with the gate pass and convenient parking/drop off.  Our daughter has loved going there for the last 18 months and it feels like an extension of our family.  Only negative point is that it has made Saturday mornings tough in our house...when she realises it’s a non-chatterbox day! Would highly recommend.
