My second daughter is now in Toad Hall, my first daughter loving each day. She has been there for over 2-years and has come on so far and has formed such great relationships with all the staff and very special friendships with the children in her room.

My daughter loves her nursery. We had a bad experience in a previous nursery. But Toad Hall, they are amazing. My big thanks to all the girls for your patience, care and all your love that you give to children. They find an individual approach to each child. You are all doing an incredible job.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started at Toad Hall Nursery in February 2020, my daughter at the time was 8-months-old.
It’s so lovely to see her settled at nursery, the continuous support and feedback and seeing her so happy, building new relationships with staff is very reassuring.
My daughter's key worker, who is
also the room leader of the baby room continuously keeps me updated with pictures and videos and its so lovely too see how happy and settled she is at nursery.
The girls work extremely hard, with ongoing activities every day and it’s great to see how much fun she is having from baking cakes to shaving foam play!
My daughter has the opportunity to take part in ‘Sparkles’ which is a lady who comes into the nursery and provides a music session for the children.
On collection it's lovely to walk in and get greeted by a smile, to see her settled and playing with such a great variety of toys. At hand over, I get a very detailed report of her day from her key worker which is great!
The girls do such a great job on a day to day basis and their hard work and dedication is fantastic!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter is enjoying going to Toad Hall. She has flourished since starting here and she gets to explore and play and be a happy child. The room leader was welcoming and helped my baby settle in nicely. She loves playing outside in the garden, going through the books and the music class. They have
an on-site chef who prepares balanced meals and snacks catering to all dietary and allergy requirements. I always enjoy getting feedback about my child’s day and what interesting activities she has been doing. I also feel reassured that if I have any concerns I can speak to her key worker. My husband and I think the nursery staff are doing a great job. I have great peace of mind sending her here knowing how well she is taken care of and would highly recommend Toad Hall to any prospective parents!

The staff are very friendly, the care they give to my child is wonderful, the food is well cooked and nice and the environment is amazing and safe. Worth the price I paid for though. 100% recommended. The development my child has received within 3 months after her starting date was awesome. She has
learnt so many things and is now more confident in herself.

My son has been at Toad Hall Nursery for nearly 2 years now and I am incredibly happy with the care the nursery provides. My son is very happy and confident at the nursery and the staff in his room are kind and warm and he is very comfortable with them. The facilities are great and there is a great
garden area. My son loves some of the extra activities such as music and cooking. The meals are varied and it is good as they often serve meals I might not cook at home so it’s great variation for him. Whenever I pick him up, he is always super happy and looks like he is having fun.

My boys started when they were nearly 2. They are 3 now. I can tell that they enjoy their time in the nursery so much. They seem very happy every time I drop them off in the morning and pick them up in the evening too. Their language is gradually building up and they have done lots of nice handcrafted
pieces. The staffs in the roof are very nice and helpful. Especially my boys' key worker. I have heard my boys mention her name so many times. They do parents evening regularly to keep us updated. I will definitely recommend this nursery.

Our daughter started attending Toad Hall when she was 9 months old. The staff in the baby room were very welcoming and took the time to get to know us, our daughter and her routine. She very quickly settled into the room and loves going into nursery each day. She particularly loves the Lucy Sparkles
music class and playing outside in the garden. She's now moved up rooms and is flourishing. The staff in her room are very warm, caring and plan fun activities for the children. We would highly recommend Toad Hall for anyone looking for a warm and nurturing environment for their child.

Toad Hall is an amazing nursery with such lovely and hard-working staff. My daughter absolutely loves it there and they offer lots of activities. The new forest school on Wednesday is such a good experience for young children. I would definitely recommend this nursery, they pay so much attention to
the little ones and prepare them well for school. This is the 3rd nursery for my little one and by far the best and would not move her! Thank you to all the staff for their hard work.

Our daughter started at Toad Hall in November last year and the staff have been truly amazing from day one. They welcomed us warmly, guided us well through the settling process, and made sure our whole family was happy and confident in starting the nursery journey. Our daughter warmed to the staff very
quickly and now loves going into nursery each day. Would recommend this nursery to anyone in the area!

My daughter joined Toad Hall Nursery at nine months old, and she has settled well. Staff are very welcoming, caring, supportive and I have no complaints since my daughter joined. They meet her needs, and she seems happy at the nursery. The manager and staff are also approachable, and I receive daily
information about my daughter's day. I love it here and am sure my little one does also. Thank you to all the staff at Toad Hall Nursery, you are doing a fantastic job.

Fantastic nursery, very welcoming, caring and kind. My son is very happy here and always goes in with a smile and comes out with a smile. A great learning experience and play areas, they also catered for his allergies very well so he was never left out. Would highly recommend, from a happy mum.

The nursery is lovely and very well equipped. We also enjoy getting photo updates of how he is doing and activities he enjoys!!

Both my children have been very happy here, the facilities and outside space are great.
The staff are attentive and caring and my first child left for school with so much confidence and knowledge. My second child who will go to school this year has had some learning delays and behavioural issues, this
is being supported very well by his key worker and he is starting to be a more settled/calm child.

My son has been attending this nursery for nearly two years and our experience across this time has been excellent. He's quite a shy boy but all the staff helped him to settle and he very much enjoys going in. The facilities are very good, in particular, the new gardens and the activities they carry
out are very varied including French and music, singing and movement! The staff are all very caring and he's come a long way in his development. My daughter will be starting shortly.

I am very happy with how my child has settled in at this nursery. They do a range of activities and have an app showing you what your child has been up to and how he is progressing. My child loves his careers and his key worker’s name was one of his very first words! This nursery had a positive atmosphere
from the start.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are so happy that we chose Toad Hall in Chessington for our little boy. He started at the beginning of July when he was 10 months old and we couldn't be happier with how well he has settled in. The staff have been amazing with him and are so friendly and helpful. They do great activities and send
regular updates so that we can see what he has been up to. The facilities are excellent and are always clean and everything is well looked after, the outside space is great too - such a nice area for the babies to spend time outside and do water play etc. I really can't fault this nursery, we are so impressed. Our little boy's keyworker is amazing with him, as are all the other staff members. The management is great too, so quick to respond to everything and so lovely with the children too.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.054)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.054) out of 10 for Toad Hall Nursery Chessington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 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 4.307 for Toad Hall Nursery Chessington is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (17 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.307
  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 4.747 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Toad Hall Nursery Chessington is based on 14 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.85
    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 78 number of registered child places is 15.6. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.6 = 0.897
  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.
