The west London-based group has also won a contract with Ealing Council to run a children's centre nursery.
The new settings will increase the number of childcare places on offer to just under 600.
The rural setting in Chalfont St Peter in Buckinghamshire will be the tenth for the group, which also runs two crèches and one out-of-school club.
The nursery chain has just received confirmation of planning permission for change of use and renovations are underway.
Previously known as the Chalfont Phoenix the pub has been closed for several years, but will now be renovated and turned into a nursery for 65 children. It is expected to open early next year.
The Chalfont nursery is also set to become the nursery group’s flagship setting.
Group founder and director Olivia Foley said, ‘The Phoenix has been empty for nearly four years so it will be great to see it brought back to life again. This nursery is particularly close to my heart as Chalfont is also my home and where my children have grown up and gone to school.
'We intend to make Chalfont our flagship nursery and create a real home from home environment for the children. We are working with a fantastic architect whose ideas are going to transform the building. I’m delighted to be able to finally offer our services to the families of Chalfont.’
Ms Foley said the nursery’s work in five nurseries in children’s centres in Ealing has inspired the group. ‘We’re taking some Sure Start ideas,’ she said. ‘Because we’ve worked in children’s centres we’ve worked with other professionals. We want to incorporate parenting classes and bring in health visitors.’
The Chalfont setting will run parenting classes for families who attend the nursery and the local community.
Caterpillar Parent Services offering a one-stop-shop for parents will also launch at the setting.
Ms Foley said, ‘If parents want to drop off their dry cleaning as well or they’ve run out of nappies or wipes we’re going to accommodate them. We will source supplies from local shop owners and we’ll offer tokens for coffee in local cafes. We hope to give them local business as well. Chalfont is a small village so we think it will work well.'

The nursery will also offer regular forest school sessions, yoga and French.
First to open, however, will be the newly refurbished nursery at Hanwell Children’s Centre, after the group successfully went through a tender process with Ealing Council to win a five-year contract. Ms Foley said the nursery had a ‘lovely, lovely outdoor area’.
To meet demand for full daycare and more flexible childcare the nursery will be open from 7.30am – 6pm and will provide 55 places.
The nursery group also has plans for two more nurseries in 2017.
