Little Earthworms

The nursery is situated on Ditchling Road on the outskirts of Fiveways, adjoining the A27, with connections to the A23. The nursery is only a short walk away from Preston park train station. We are a small home-from-home nursery, we can take up to 29 children

Our ethos...we are the first eco-friendly day nursery in Sussex that strives to sustain the planet in every way possible and will meet and

exceed your expectations by providing exceptional childcare and learning in a fun, eco- friendly homely setting. When we first found the property on Ditchling road it ticked all our boxes! We wanted to have a property all on ground level so converting this bungalow was perfect, the building is really spacious and airy inside for children’s play rooms and the outside space is amazing. The property also has a large kitchen for us to prepare nutritious organic meals. The garden in the property is large enough for the children to have grass areas, a bike area with soft eco friendly surfacing, our quiet shady area, with plenty of space for our vegetable patches and a lovely enclosed area for our chickens to run around. At Little Earthworms we feel it is very important for parents and carers to be able to get involved in their children's learning in a variety of ways. This enables parents, carers and children to feel safe secure and happy. Each child has a learning journal which is a development folder to track their development through the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) with observations, pictures and progress reports (information on your child’s development gathered onto one form for ease of information) so that we can ensure they are getting the most out of their play here at Little Earthworms. At Little Earthworms we have parents evenings twice a year where we cook some of the lovely organic home cooked meals your children will be eating at lunch time for you to try along with providing a few drinks so that parents and carers can get to know each other and also for each parent and carers to have the chance to take a look at the learning journal and talk to the key workers too. We also invite all parents and carers to come in and play at little Earthworms, you can come in and do activities, talk about the country you come from or the countries you have visited. Some parents and carers come in and talk about what they do as a job or even come in with friendly animals they own.
