Hi We’re Katie and Laura, Nursery Managers at Toton.

With over 30 years of combined experience in early years, we are proud to lead a team that’s as passionate as we are about creating a warm, welcoming environment where every child can thrive.

What truly makes our nursery special is our dedicated and long-standing team—many of whom have built lasting, meaningful relationships with our children and families over the years.

Our friendly and thoughtfully designed spaces are filled with engaging resources that inspire learning, play, and curiosity. Our children feel safe, happy, and valued as they explore and grow in our cosy, home-from-home environment.

We’re proud of our strong community links, working closely with local services, schools, and the area SENCO to ensure every child receives the best possible support and a smooth transition to the next stage in their journey.

A special touch unique to Toton is our outdoor sleeping approach for babies—nestled in prams, they benefit from peaceful rest and fresh air, helping to promote healthy, natural sleep patterns.
