  • Toddlers Inn Nursery, Lewes
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, and after-school and holiday care for 5 to 8 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.

Reply from Sabrina Watt, Manager at Toddlers Inn Nursery

Thank you so much for your review, we love having the girls as part of our Toddlers Inn family and have enjoyed seeing them grow in confidence.

Toddlers Inn Nursery is an amazing nursery that I cannot fault. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone. The wide range of activities they have on offer throughout the day is great! 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.

Such a wonderful nursery - the staff are all so kind and welcoming. 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.

My son has been attending Toddlers Inn since January 2021 and he had the most kindest and warming welcome. 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.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Toddlers Inn Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for Toddlers Inn Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (405 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 405 Ratings = 5

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Toddlers Inn Nursery is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
