We are very happy with the care provided by the Hedgehogs room. Our son has settled in well and all of the staff have been very engaged with him.
Thank you for the kind words. We are very proud of our team :)
Delighted with how our daughter has settled at Toad Hall Hitchin. I was so daunting by the process of her starting nursey as she had a lot of separation aniexty, but all the staff have been so friendly, reassuring and after just 8 weeks my daughter is absolutely thriving. The care attention shown to her is remarkable, and she now really enjoys going everyday, and I look forward to drop off and pick up. Thanks Toad Hall
Thank you for the lovely comments and I am so glad your daughter has settled so well.
The staff members in Badgers are a brilliant team! They have a great relationship with the kids and know, support and appreciate them as individuals. My child and their friends have a lot of fun in this room, and the team think up lots of different creative activities for them to enjoy.
So far we have been very pleased with the nursery for our sons. There are a couple of amazing teams that work really well together in their rooms. They really care well for the children and set up creative and imaginative activities every day. Both of our sons have been very happy to go to nursery at Toad Hall.
My daughter started at Toad Hall in September and has settled in really well, making lots of friends and participating in lots of activities. We were at first nervous about her going to a new nursery but from day one she absolutely loved it. The staff keep us up to date with everything that she is doing and they all are very friendly. We are sure that we have made the right choice with Toad Hall.
Thank you for the lovely review. This is so lovely to hear and I am glad your daughter has settled so quicky.
I have two children at this nursery, one of them is about to finish and start school. I have been very happy with the care provided by the nursery. The majority of the staff are excellent and provide my children with a lot of love and support. They both do lots of interesting activities and enjoy themselves every day.
Thank you for the lovely review. We hope the transition to school is an exciting one.
We went to a stay/play session as her parents couldn't go. We were welcomed. The staff are lovely in dragonflies and our granddaughter is very happy there. The staff were lovely to the children and also to the visiting family members. We watched and assisted her with making a sandwich - which she enjoys (and does at home) and then she ate it. Lovely visit and thank you for getting me a chair!
Thank you for your lovely review and kind words. We love a stay-and-play session and so glad you enjoyed it too.
My son is very happy in Dragonflies. The staff are wonderful - they put a lot of effort into working with our son and he has a wonderful connection with them. They are very creative in preparing activities; and are positive, supportive and energetic. His confidence has grown, his language has developed, and he has happy friendships with the other children in the class. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the lovely review. The Dragonflies team go above and beyond with their activities so it is great to hear they are being recognised for this.
The staff at Toad Hall are absolutely wonderful. The care and enrichment they provide are second to none. I wouldn't dream of sending my child anywhere else. We are so grateful to Toad Hall and all their staff. They made the transition so easy both for our child and us as parents. I know that when our little one goes to nursery at Toad Hall they will have a fantastic day - learn so much and be looked after with kindness and respect.
Thank you for such a lovely review, I have shared this with the team.
We have had a fantastic experience at Toad Hall so far. My son settled extremely quickly and that is a huge testament to the caring and highly professional staff with whom he enjoys being with and cares for him so much. He loves being outside in the garden and I'm also impressed with the variation of toys and activities inside. Thank you so much to the staff and in particular the carers in Hedgehogs - he is so happy.
I visited Toad Hall on 2nd October as they had a “Stay & Play” day for Grandparents. It was a lovely experience. I have collected my grandson on a few occasions but to be able to observe the toddlers doing some activities as well as playing, was just lovely. It was great to see the interaction between the staff and children. It was very easy to see why the children enjoy going to nursery as the staff are lovely, warm and friendly and clearly know the children very well. They were doing numerous activities for autumn and the room was adjourned with their autumnal coloured artistic efforts.
An extremely enjoyable experience for a very grateful grandmother.
Our experience of Toadhall has been excellent. Our daughter has been there for unjust under a year and the teams in Headgehogs and Little Ducks have been fantastic at helping her settle and grow into a confident, wonderful toddler. Communication from the teams is clear and regular and emails/phone calls are answered quickly and politely with good detail.
Toad Hall Nursery have helped our son settle in really well. Always smiling and welcoming, happy to cuddle and reassure him when we drop him off. Suggestion to move to two days worked a treat - he seems much more comfortable. The pictures and reports have been lovely to see - gives us a great idea of how much he's enjoying being there. Thank you very much!
The staff at Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin are second to none. My daughter went there four years ago and a lot of the same people are still there now. My 8-month-old has started. We had such a lovely welcome back and they were all so happy to see us again. It's made leaving my baby in their care so reassuring and he loves going and spending time there.
This nursery has been the best place for my child and I really couldn't fault it.
Thank you to the staff.
Brilliant nursery, wonderful staff with lots of positivity and activities on a daily basis. My son loves going to nursery every day.
We have recently started at Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin. The transition into the nursery has been really smooth for both of our children. The staff are experienced and have been at Toad Hall for years - staff retention is good. The balance of activities in preschool works well to ensure a mix of play and preparation for school. Outdoor play space and resources are also good. Communication from the management team is regular, high quality and tailored. We would recommend on the experience we have had so far.
We credit so much of the amazing little person she is becoming to the team at Toad Hall. We really couldn't recommend them enough.
Our thirteen-month-old son started Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin earlier this month. We couldn't wish for a better setting. The team at Butterflies have welcomed him with open arms, giving him love and attention to help grow his confidence at nursery. He only attends two days a week but has settled really quickly thanks to the team. He has so much fun! The variety of activities and playtime opportunities both inside and out are brilliant! We can't wait to see how our little guy grows and develops at Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin and thank the passionate team from the bottom of our hearts.
My daughter has settled into nursery brilliantly and I think that is all down to the fantastic staff and making her feel safe and welcome. I love hearing all the things she has done in the day and seeing her thrive!

Meet the Team (1)
Hi, I’m Collette, the Nursery Manager at Toad Hall Hitchin.
I am fortunate to have successfully worked within this industry for over 23 years and hold a Level 5 Diploma in Early Years Leadership and Management. Throughout my Early years career, I have worked in many different roles, including running a successful nursery for nearly 5 years.
My vision is to provide high-quality care in a safe, inclusive, and stimulating environment, allowing the children to feel secure and confident. I believe this supports their growing curiosity to explore, and supports creative minds and resilience, whilst maximising success for all children.
I have always been highly focused on the well-being and development of children and believe that family partnership is the key.
My priority is to continue to lead this fantastic team and understand that a happy, successful child depends on us all working together.
Please do get in touch and arrange a visit to our lovely nursery if you have any questions.
