Review from Cat Q (Mother of Child) published on 19 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Toad hall is a fantastic nursery, our little girl absolutely loves it here, the staff are all so lovely, when our little one first started she struggled being dropped off but soon settled in within a couple of months, I've noticed her confidence and development come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery. We get regular updates of her day which is really reassuring.

Thank you for all you do at Toad Hall !

Overall Experience

We have been so pleased with the care of our daughter whilst she has been with Toad Hall, all 3 rooms that she has now been in have all provided such wonderful care, the vast range of daily activities included and the attention of all staff who work there has always been greatly appreciated. The confidence growth we have since in the last couple of years from our daughter is so lovely to see, along with her development in speech, eating, playing and understanding of scenarios and watching her making friends with her fellow classmates. We are always updated with news from the nursery and updates of her day along with her developmental updates which is always lovely and reassuring to receive

Review from Tasha H (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has been attending the nursery for over 6 months now and we couldn't be happier with the care for our child that is provided. All of the staff are kind, caring and passionate about their roles. We are regularly informed what our child is up to during the day and we really enjoy seeing the pictures whilst we are at work. My child was very attached to me before starting nursery and I was concerned how she would transition. However, I have been very pleased with how easily she settled in and she loves coming to nursery every day. Thank you so much to everyone who has aided in this.

Review from Emma V (Mother of Child) published on 18 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I love how the nursery make me feel at ease leaving my son, when he goes through periods of being upset not wanting to leave, they will always message me to say he has settled in and had lots of cuddles. Some days we get lots of updates on what the children have been up to, which is lovely. The meals served are a good variety through the month so my son doesn't get bored and more often that not he will eat all of the food served. The nursery are always sending updates on what they are teaching our children and how we can incorporate this at home. Also the development updates are great. My son loves going to Nursery and always runs out to me happy and blowing kisses to the team in his room.

Overall Experience

We have seen significant development across all areas since our son first started attending Toad Hall. Without a doubt, this is due to the kind nature and attentiveness of the wonderful staff. The activities and food are varied and excellent. Communication is regular and detailed. The monthly nursery fee is worth every penny and I can't thank the staff at Toad Hall Enough.

Both of my children have attended Toad Hall and we have been extremely pleased with both of their progression in the setting.

Review from Luke N (Father of Child) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We've had a fantastic experience with Toad Hall over the past couple of years. Our eldest son has been attending for nearly two years now and our youngest joined a few months ago. From the very beginning, the team has been incredibly professional, reliable and genuinely caring.

The level of care and attention both our boys receive is outstanding. It's clear that the staff are deeply committed to the children's development. We've seen real progress in both their confidence, communication and social skills.

It gives us real peace of mind to know that our sons are in such good hands each day. We're so grateful to have found a nursery that we trust completely. Highly recommend!

Review from Kimberley K (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 20 month old son has been attending Toad Hall Day Nursery since he was 11 months old.

The staff have been incredible in helping him to settle in & make returning to work less stressful!

My little boy is absolutely thriving at nursery, it's been wonderful for his development. He has made lovely bonds with the staff & the other children.

The nursery app is regularly updated throughout the day as to what activities he has been doing, including photos. Meals, naps & nappy changes are also logged so I can rest assured that he is well looked after.

The staff take time to carry out observations & progress reports, I love hearing about my little boys development.

The nursery is in a beautiful setting with good access to outdoor spaces for the children to safely explore & play.

I have no concerns about going into work knowing that he will have such a fun filled day.

I would 100% recommend this nursery to other parents.

Review from Geti H (Mother of Child) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery itself is absolutely stunning. There's a space for each class to go out and spend an hour or so playing outdoors for the kids to get some fresh air.

The nursery staff themselves are beyond helpful. I'm forever grateful that they went out of their way to make space for us and be so accommodating. They respond within minutes to all of our messages and we are constantly updated with our sons eating, sleep and activities on his days in.

Thank you to the managers for making this transition ever so smooth and inviting.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Toad Hall since July 2021 when he started at just five months old. To say that this nursery and its staff are wonderful would be a huge understatement. The team have shown nothing but care, dedication and professionalism in the time we have been there. My son loves going to nursery, adores the team, and has come on in leaps and bounds with all aspects of his development. Not only has my son thrived but from my own perspective as a working mum, I knew he was having the best time and would be cared for so beautifully. Having my son at Toad Hall has allowed me to go back to work with confidence, never once doubting that he was in safe hands. If you're looking for a place for your child, peace of mind is utterly priceless - thank goodness for Toad Hall.

My son has loved his time at Toad Hall! He had only been there for a year and a half but he always has a happy face going in and coming home so I know he has had the best day!

Our Son has been at the nursery since September 2022 having moved into the area. He greatly enjoys his time at nursery and has thrived in his development since.
