About Us

Teddy Wilf’s Nurseries is a small chain of nurseries based in Chichester. We opened our first Nursery in September 2010 and we have grown and flourished ever since! We currently operate two nurseries in Chichester, one in Tangmere and one in East Witterings, with a further site opening in Shopwyke in Autumn 2025 which offer various services to children and their families. We also operate a Holiday Club provision for children in school years 1 – 8 in the Sports Hall at The Westgate Leisure Centre during the School Holidays.

Rachael and Megan manage a team of 36 dedicated professionals who all strive to deliver the very best for each of our children and their families. Teddy Wilf’s is incredibly proud to have a dedicated SEN Team who provide specialised, targeted support for children within our nurseries, working alongside a host of outside professionals. We also have a small Head Office Team who provide logistical support with finance, administration and maintenance.

Play is at the heart of everything we do at here Teddy Wilf’s. Our Practitioners are always busy coming up with new and exciting activities to engage and challenge our children, following their interests and extending their knowledge and understanding. We work within the Early Years Foundation Stage, the curriculum for under 5’s, to ensure children have a solid foundation on which to build, and that they are prepared for the challenges that await them at School. Our Practitioners also work closely with Parents to support children at home and at Nursery.
