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.

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!

This is an amazing nursery, both of our children love attending Toddlers Inn. Our eldest child has just gone into Forest school and is loving every moment of being able to get as muddy as they can and exploring the outside world whilst learning at the same time. Our youngest is in saplings and really enjoys all the different activities that are available for them on a daily basis. We really like that the children often get involved in baking, cooking, cleaning up after themselves and they sometimes eat what they make for pudding or snack times. They/we are overwhelmed with the care and effort the staff put in, to make sure our children are safe, cared for and feel welcome at the nursery.

Our daughter has been attending Toddles Inn since she was 8 months old and since then, her confidence, social skills and overall development have really improved. The team are wonderful and provide regular updates including 'wow moments', encouraging little ones to reach key milestones. There is always a wide range of activities available and plenty of outdoor space.
Our daughter loves attending Toddlers Inn and we cannot thank the team enough for their support!

Toddlers Inn are a brilliant nursery. My girls have been attending since they were one and since then have learnt so much. The staff are absolutely brilliant and it is like a home from home. They love running in each day and are so excited to see everyone. The activities that they do are fun and educational and provide a lot of enjoyment for the girls. I couldn't praise them all highly enough.

The children get to take part in pet care, baking, science, yoga and woodwork sessions throughout the week, which the children love. The staff at Toddlers Inn Nursery are incredible! They all take such great care of the children and take great pride in getting to know the children and their families.

They were very supportive when my child started at just one year old, they put me at ease and made me feel confident she was having all her needs met. My child is always so excited when I drop her off and never wants to leave! She is always exhausted at the end of the day so it’s clear that the staff are engaging her in activities all day.

All the staff have been fantastic they are so friendly and there is not a day where you don't see them without a smile. My son has made lots of friends with other children as well as staff. The learning they do is very creative and lots of fun! I cant fault the nursery in any way and I only wish it was there when I was that age.

Toddlers Inn is a fantastic nursery where children (and parents) are known and supported. Staff are so positive and caring and are always happy to take time out to talk to parents, no question is too silly! Over the course of the year, the children are given an enormous range of experiences and activities which we wouldn't think of providing at home. In the huge outdoor learning space, the oldest children pick up amazing practical skills and have additional responsibilities such as daily animal care (they have chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs!) An amazing team and a unique nursery experience. 100% recommended!

My son loves this nursery and we do too. Seeing our son flourish, be happy and safe is a priority for us, and Toddlers Inn has reassured us with this. Having recently moved to Sussex, we were concerned he might not settle. However, the team made him so welcome and cared for him when he felt nervous around the other children, taking the time for one to one care. The nursery itself is fantastic with lots of different areas and activities and being an outdoor nursery, I can see how much more he has benefited. All of the staff are caring, friendly, and experienced. My son moves into the forest school part next year and they are transitioning him already and he loves it and feels ready to move which is a relief. They have been brilliant in supporting him potty train too. Overall, a fantastic nursery on all accounts and highly recommended.
