Meet the team

Emma and Gary originally set up Chiltern Nursery in Sutton in 2002 as they were unable to find a nursery that they liked for their own son. Fast forward a few years and they are now the directors of three nurseries.

Emma and Gary are very hands on, and spend time at all the settings during the week.

Nursery Manager – Sherrill Tobin

Sherrill has been working for the company since December 2009 when she started as Room Leader of our upper baby room, Buttercup’s. She soon showed her determination and progressed through management to now be the Nursery Manager.

Sherrill holds a level 5 management qualification as well as her assessors award through our in-house training academy.

Systems & Operations Business Manager – Dawn Thomas

Dawn began working for the company in 2014 supporting Emma, Gary and Sherrill with the running of the office and front reception desk. Dawn came to the nursery with a background in school office work and is now responsible for managing the running of the nursery from the front line.

Chloe joined Chiltern Nurseries in July 2008 and worked her way through the ranks to Deputy Manager of our Epsom nursery, Lynton. In August 2020, Chloe joined the Glaisdale team as Deputy & SENCO Manager. Chloe also oversees our Apprentices across the 3 settings and works closely with Nescot college.
