Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with Toad Hall Watford. Our daughter loves it here, and the care, warmth, and support from the team are wonderful. Since starting, we've seen such a positive boost in her confidence and development. It gives us real peace of mind knowing she's in such a nurturing environment. If we weren't relocating, she would definitely be staying here. Thank you to the amazing team for everything you do!

Overall Experience

We cannot speak highly enough of this nursery and the incredible staff who work there.

Sadly, we have to move our little one to a new nursery as we've recently bought a house in a different area, and we are absolutely gutted to be leaving.

The team at Toad Hall has played such an important role in helping him grow into a friendly, confident, and bubbly little boy. We've also seen huge progress in his learning and development during his time there.

Thank you so much, Toad Hall!

Overall Experience

My daughter started nursery at Toad hall in September 2025. The staff are beyond incredible and my daughter loves going into nursery.

She has developed so much in the last 6 months and has really come out of her shell and is a much more confident little girl and is thriving

I was so scared about her going to nursery but the transition has been so easy and I do believe this is because of the staff, they make it so easy!

Would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

Overall Experience

Toadhall is a wonderful nursery. I have sent four of my children here over the years. My children have enjoyed coming here very much and have always been very happy to come to nursery each day. The nursery staff always do fun exciting activities with the children so every day is fun, learning at the same time. The staff are fantastic and take care of the children. This is a fantastic nursery and my children have been safe and very happy.

Our son has attended Toad Hall for a number of years and has thrived whilst there. The staff create a warm & welcoming environment, and take the time to understand each childs needs. He has developed a strong bond with his key worker and established a close group of friends. I'd highly recommend Toad Hall!

Toad Hall have been wonderful with my son, supporting him with his development, making friends, learning behaviours and more recently with his hearing loss. We've seen him transform since his arrival at Toad, his growth always supported and we're very excited to see this continue. Thank you Toad Hall, just the other to get through now!

Review from Karolin G (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Toad Hall nursery for our little boy. He settled in so well and that's all down to the amazing team. The room leader, has been absolutely brilliant - so calm, caring and reassuring - and his key person, has built such a lovely connection with him. It really puts my mind at ease knowing he's in such good hands.

They always have lovely little activities going on and he's so happy when we drop him off. It's clear the staff genuinely care, and that makes such a difference. I leave each day feeling confident he's going to have a great time, and that means everything. Huge thanks to the team for creating such a warm, nurturing space for him.

Overall Experience

Toad Hall is an incredible nursery and I feel so lucky to have found it for my son, when we moved to London in September. The staff are brilliant, so caring and engaged with the children and they always have time to chat to parents and provide info/reassurance. My son, nervous at first, is thriving and confident and so happy at pre-school. I love knowing he is safe, well-cared for and challenged. I also love that the kids do Spanish and have so many opportunities at Toad Hall. Thank you for everything you do!

Review from Aly S (Father of Child) published on 10 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter joined a few months ago at the hedgehogs baby room full-time. She settled in really quickly and really enjoys her stay at the nursery. Every morning when I drop her off she gives a big smile and excitedly walks towards the nearest member of staff. At home my daughter is a very picky eater but at the nursery she eats all her food and sometimes even has seconds. Since starting at the nursery she has significantly developed her motor skills. I am extremely satisfied with the nursery and when I drop off my daughter in the morning I feel that she is staying in a safe, friendly and nurturing environment.

Overall Experience

The nursery was fantastic from the very start. We have a child with additonal medical needs and the team have been super supportive. They've had training with the hospital, amended processes and dealt amazingly with all the extra medication. We also a child without extra needs and the support has been amazing so its not because of any special treatment!
