Rabbit Patch Day Nursery

After gaining her foundation degree in Early Childhood Studies, founder of Rabbit Patch Alexandra Tabor decided to visit the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
After working in nurseries in Sussex for years, Alex had never experienced the child led aspect of learning and development, and empowering children to take pride in their own education.
This is where the Rabbit Patch journey started.
Coming from a family who run many successful businesses, Alex sought advice from her dad Doug, and the nursery dream began.
It took over a year to find the location of Rabbit Patch Day Nursery and just over 10 months to create the foundations you see today.
The project was completed in September 2017.
Alex lives onsite with her husband, two children and trusty canine companion Toby, who makes regular visits to the children at nursery.
The Rabbit Patch is such a wonderful place and the staff are the most kind and caring people you could ever hope for to look after your children.
The importance of outdoor learning and the incredible garden and woodland really puts the nursery in a league of its own, especially as we have such an adventurous little one who loves being outdoors.
Not to mention all the animals they have for the children to learn about and care for!
The staff go above and beyond to make the children and parents feel valued- little touches like the Mothers Day bacon sandwich Ive just enjoyed at drop off go a long way to make this a really special place.
My son is three now and will be starting school next year.
He has loved every moment at the Rabbit Patch and we are already excited for our daughter to be joining soon too- we wouldnt consider anywhere else!
LO.
Our son started at Rabbit Patch when he was 11 months old and I was a typical anxious mum leaving him for the first time.
The Rabbit Patch is such a wonderful place and the staff are the most kind and caring people you could ever hope for to look after your children.
