As a single mom, I am immensely grateful to Toddlers Inn for their unwavering support over the past two years. Registering my child in this nursery was the best decision I ever made. I can confidently say they are the top choice in the UK. The owner and the manager, you are truly the best. Words cannot
express my gratitude. I wholeheartedly recommend your nursery to other families.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started here in September 2023. On a chance vacancy. He was 18 months old. I thought it was going to be a nightmare as he was so attached to me. However, after a lovely first meeting with the management team, I felt completely at ease. He subsequently started soon after and was assigned his
key leader, who is amazing. To be honest, they are all fantastic, they are caring and nurturing, and it’s a very happy place. My son is thriving and now runs into nursery. They also offer dance, drama and music classes in their morning sessions. Which is such a bonus, I was lucky enough to participate in a drama class over the Christmas period and it was so much fun, all the children were engaged and loving it. Lucky children. A big well done to the manager and all the staff at this wonderful nursery.

As a family, we really love the place. The staff are incredibly warm and they make you feel at home. They do a lot of activities like yoga, music, dancing and forest school. My son loves going there every day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son was 18 months old at the time we started with Toddlers Inn Nursery in September 2022. He was very attached to me and I thought it would be impossible to start the nursery without dramatising him and myself, but it was the best experience we could ever imagine. All of the teachers took time with
him to let him adapt slowly, they were so caring and committed towards him. In the meantime, they always found time to speak to me about what was happening and gave me total reassurance of trust. We saw multiple nurseries but this is the one that feels like home, with such a friendly and loving environment. They take it really seriously and there are always different entertainments and activities. Now my toddler loves going there. I can also see a difference at home as they teach them some new handy and practical life skills. Best nursery! Now with passion, I'm recommending it to all of the local mums. Thank you Toddlers Inn Nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son was part of the Toddler's Inn family for three very happy years - it is a safe, warm and nurturing environment where every child is valued, respected and supported to reach their full potential in all areas of development. The enthusiasm with which our son bounded through the door every single
morning is testament alone to the exciting, stimulating and fun activities that take place there every single day. The staff have such incredible knowledge of each individual child and always go to great lengths to provide play and learning opportunities in the environment based on their interests. The teams' friendly and approachable manner allows for excellent communication ensuring we as parents always felt included and well informed. My son made fantastic progress during his time at Toddlers Inn and has started school in a strong academic position but, more importantly to us, as a confident, resilient and positive little boy moulded by his preschool experiences.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.375)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.375) out of 10 for Toddlers Inn Nursery and Pre-School (St Johns Wood) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Toddlers Inn Nursery and Pre-School (St Johns Wood) is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.375 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Toddlers Inn Nursery and Pre-School (St Johns Wood) is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 number of registered child places is 8. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.25
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
