The Bids for Kids Auction is an evening of fundraising that goes to support programmes considered integral to the running of Chelsea Cooperative Nursery School, allowing us to fulfil our community’s and children’s needs.

This year we are hoping to enhance our Outdoor Education programme and keep the school accessible to all families in Chelsea, with low fees while providing excellent pre-school education.

Our other fundraising endeavour, the Bursary Fund, will be provided for entirely by the school’s United Way campaign, and will work towards helping families who need a hand financially enrolling in our nursery school.
