Chatham Nursery School Birth to Five is one of only five maintained Nursery Schools Liverpool.
Chatham Nursery School was originally called Chatham Place Nursery School and was situated in Chatham Place near Overbury Street L7. It was built during the Second World War and offered places for the children of mothers who were working in the ammunitions factory, supporting the war effort. The nursery building was intended to be a temporary structure but it is still standing today.
In 2008 Chatham Place Nursery School relocated to Picton Childrens and Medical Centre and became Chatham Nursery School . It became part of a hard federation with St Hugh’s Catholic Primary School and Picton Children’s Centre
In 2013 Chatham Nursery School took over what was the Picton Sure Start nursery and so Chatham Nursery School became a Chatham Nursery School Birth to Five Provision.
Message for parents and guardians of children from the Director of Public Health Professor Matthew Ashton
Have you heard the news about measles? There is a large outbreak of measles around Birmingham. Many children have been admitted to hospital. It is likely that measles could spread to Liverpool.
Measles is a nasty infection and can make you very sick if you catch it. It starts with a high temperature and a cold with red eyes. Then you get a measles rash that spreads from your face to the rest of your body.
It is very easy to catch if you are not vaccinated. It spreads through coughs and sneezes.
Measles can be very serious for some people. It can cause pneumonia, encephalitis (brain infections) and sometimes even death.
How to protect yourself and your children from measles:
The MMR vaccine prevents measles. It is very safe. You need 2 doses to protect you for life.
All children are offered the MMR vaccine. It is free on the NHS.
If your child has missed any vaccine, book an appointment at your GP practice. Check your child’s Red Book if you are not sure or ask the GP practice.
It is never too late to catch up if you have missed a vaccine.
