Choochoos Coronavirus Update

 

Choochoos Website  Notice – February 2022

Thank you to all of our parents, carers and families who access and use our current Choochoos website. Now that we have joined The Old Station Nursery Group, we are going to begin the transition over to their website, to enable our groups to be together on one website as part of joining the group.

This means you will still get to see pages personal to Choochoos as well as being able to access other pages which you might find useful; such as the parent resources section which includes fun activities to do at home, latest news and a number of blogs with guidance, support and educational insights for all parents. Choochoos is already on The Old Station Nursery website, you can access the group website here https://www.theoldstationnursery.co.uk/

We aim to fully integrate into the The Old Station Nursery Group’s website by the end of this month. We hope you enjoy our new website. If you have any questions please ask you nursery manager. Thank you.

 

Choochoos website information maybe be adapted or subject to change to ensure the safety of children, staff and families during the coronavirus pandemic.

Please contact us for more information. Thank you.

 

‘Just to say thank you to all the staff at Choochoos. You are doing an amazing job in such a tough situation and we really appreciate you all. Thank you again for opening and maintaining provision for the children at Choochoos, we are so grateful’, (Parent, February 2021).
