Toddlers Inn Nursery School is based in North Chailey, on the site of St Peters Primary school.
Toddlers Inn’s fantastic custom-made building sits in a stunning setting. The beautiful oak tree garden, secret forest school garden, and light, open-plan classrooms are all in the striking hills and playing field grounds of St Peter’s Primary School, North Chailey.
The nursery has childcare places for 0 to 5-year-olds – the space is large but still remains intimate.
In this leafy, vibrant spot, there is no doubt the nursery can provide children with fun-filled days that will awaken the senses and kick-start social skills whilst establishing new, firm friendships.
At Toddlers Inn Nursery School, children have the freedom to explore a natural environment and can develop a sense of wonder about nature. It’s also a place where children learn to cultivate and nurture. In the gardening club, children can grow fruit and veg and eat them for lunch. How lucky!
The team and children are outside as much as possible to keep healthy, but when the children are ready to come back in there is a warm, homely space, a friendly face and a cuddle if wanted to welcome every child.
Pre school children access Forest School everyday, with their large outdoor classroom, two yurts and allotment, the children flourish in the great outdoors. During pet club they are able to learn about chickens, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs and giant African land snails!

Both of my grandchildren are happy to be dropped off. The eldest comes out chatty and slightly grubby but keen to relay his adventures from the morning. The youngest (non-verbal) is cuddly and smiley, she waves goodbye and giggles on the way to the car. This is repeated on every visit to the wonderful, caring, stimulating environment.

Overall Experience
My granddaughter attends Toddlers Inn at Chailey, she loves every minute that she is there, the staff and surroundings are lovely. It has really brought her out of her shell and given her a lot of confidence. I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough.

Overall Experience
My daughter absolutely loves it, she settled in so well with the support from the baby room staff and I love seeing the detailed updates of her day-to-day activities. I'm so pleased with her progress and the bonds she's made too. Would highly recommend to friends and family looking for a nursery.

My child loves attending the nursery. The staff are brilliant and caring. They make sure a variety of activities are set up daily. My child cannot wait to tell me what they have done during the day. I can see how much my child has achieved since attending there. I cannot thank the nursery enough!

Our daughter has very recently joined and we've been incredibly happy with all aspects so far. Small excursions to local fields/local area, friendliness and attentiveness of staff, variety of activities and onsite facilities. In short, our daughter has had a wonderfully joyful start and we couldn't have asked for more. We are hugely grateful to the staff team and are thrilled to have our daughter at Toddlers Inn for the last year before primary school.

Such a wonderful nursery, my daughter settled in so well in the beginning and runs in every morning without a backward glance. The staff are so friendly and caring. The activities are varied and interesting, lots of fun for the children with really inventive ways for the children to learn key skills. The trips the children go on are an added bonus. The spaces for each age group are well-designed and furnished for each developmental stage.
The nursery is just such a wonderful, nurturing setting.

Couldn't be happier with Toddlers Inn Nursery. My son has settled in so well and loves it here, he runs off in the mornings and doesn't look back, which can only be a good sign. The staff are great and love sending my child here.
