Teddy Wilf's Nursery School

Teddy Wilf’s Nursery School

Our Parklands Nursery is a pack away setting based in St Wilfrid’s Church Community Hall in the Parklands area of Chichester and over the years the team have perfected the set up to create a wonderful nursery environment. We provide sessional care for up to 26 children from 2 years  to 4 years old; offering a Pre-School learning experience for children, helping to prepare them for School and the challenges beyond. It is open from 9:00am – 3:30pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and from 9:00am – 12:00pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, during term time only.

The nursery has a carpeted reading area, a round table for sociable snack times, a creative area including a messy play tray, an investigation area for lots of mathematical and science based learning, a construction area, a small world area and most importantly a large role play area. The Nursery also benefits from a large, secure all weather garden which is accessible from the main hall and boasts a wobbly bridge, storytelling chair, balance beam, Wendy House and outdoor chalk board and paint easel and plenty of space for zooming around on our bikes and scooters!

We have four full time, experienced, Early Years Practitioner based in our Pre-School. Our current team have over 19 years service with Teddy Wilf’s between them and many more years in childcare! Jan is our Nursery Supervisor and is charge of the day to day logistics, supported closely by Rachael and Megan, and works alongside Sheila, Gemma and Jody. They are all involved with the day to day running of the room and spend their time having lots of fun with the children whilst taking detailed observations of the children, assessing their development, planning for their needs and next steps and supporting them where necessary.

I didn’t know about this nursery school or many others in the Chichester area. I bump into a lovely mum at a play centre. We just got talking while the children played and one topic of conversation was nursery schools for our littlest ones who both needed to start soon, which was when this lovely mummy told me all about Teddy Wilf’s Parklands, and she could have spoken more highly of them. Well thank goodness I stumbled upon this lovely mummy as I don’t think I would have found this lovely little nursery school for my little lady. Jan and her wonderful team are so lovely, it really does feel like I’m leaving Matilda with family or friends. It’s a little nursery school, but that’s what I wanted. A lovely home from home setting, not to big or overwhelming! The team at Teddy’s are always keeping the kiddies busy with lovely little outings to the woods and the park. Swimming on Tuesdays with a little group of them and every other Friday they visit the local tumble tots for lots of fun with other children. It ticks lots of boxes for Matilda and I and we really couldn’t wish for more. We feel very lucky to have found Teddy Wilf’s 🤗

My daughter attends Teddy Wilfs 3 times a week and absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing with the children, they really look after them well and create a close bond with them, everything is so well organised and communication with parents is brilliant. Would highly recommend.

Terrible nursery will do anything to back themselves when they have done wrong serverly unprofessional considering honesty is the best policy makes you think why in a situation I went through not being able to explain a mark on my son's face was not there top priority. Instead making out I had sworn at them on a phone call seemed truly suspect when I thought more about it I realised they had no choice but to push me out because of there own guilt.
