The staff are fantastic with my little one, extremely engaging and you can tell he has a fantastic relationship with the team in his room. If he is upset in the mornings they always give him and massive cuddle and he settles very quick. The information we receive on handover is informative and relevant, we could not ask for a better team to look after our son.
Our son has been at Toad Hall Hitchin since February and we could not be happier with the professionalism, care and dedication the team brings. Every day my wife and I feel comfort that we know our son is in such good hands. Thanks to all the Butterflies team.
Toad Hall is fantastic! Our son is so very happy there, as was his brother before him. The Little Toads Team are so caring and they really do know our little man and all his craziness. Our son looks forward to going to nursery each day and is always happy at pickup too.
Incredible staff, they deserve most of the credit for his parenting so far! All my kids will be going there!
My son loves his time at nursery and we also couldn't be happier!
Toad Hall is excellent!
Lovely idea to be invited as a grandparent to the nursery for Father’s Day. It was great to see the children enjoying themselves, and it gives you a better understanding of the things they tell you about their day at nursery.
Toad Hall in Hitchin is a wonderful nursery. Our son was in Ladybirds, having moved from Little Toads after a few days when we felt the fit wasn't quite right in the small room. The staff in the office were always incredibly helpful and accessible - so kindly and genuinely listening to any question or concern. All the staff members in Ladybirds were wonderful and our son loved every one of them. They were fantastic at helping him learn new skills and ideas. He always came home happy, and within just a week, was reaching for them for cuddles after we dropped him off. Every staff member knows all the children by name. Just a fantastic nursery - we love them!
Our daughter started at Toadhall in September 2021 and we continue to be incredibly happy with our decision to send her here. The staff in Butterflies (and Hedgehogs where our little one started back in September) are fabulous! Communication is super (we love the communication books that are sent home at the end of each day) and we really enjoy reading all about the wonderful activities that the children have been up to on Facebook. A big shout out to the management too, who are friendly and approachable and who make us parents feel special too with things like the breakfast treats on Valentine’s morning. Thanks, Toadhall!
We have been very happy with the nursery since moving our boys there in the summer. The staff are very kind and genuinely care about the children they look after. Our children are both very happy there. The management staff know all the children by name and are always professional and helpful.
The staff at Toad Hall really are wonderful. They're so kind and nurturing and my child just loves them. We really couldn't be happier with the standard of care that our child receives.
My daughter has been in the Hedgehog room part time for the last four months - she loves it there and the staff have been great with her. They work around her schedule well and it's lovely to get a report on what new things she's been up to every day!
Our daughter has been attending Toad Hall for over a year and has thrived. We moved from another local nursery and it was the best decision. All the staff know our daughter very well and she has developed so well in all her stages. The staff are always willing and available to give you feedback on your child and take on any routines (potty training for example) you require.
Our daughter started in the Hedgehog room in September 2021. She was only 7 months and I was anxious about her starting while still so little. Immediately upon meeting the manager, I relaxed. Every staff member I have met at Toad Hall has put me at ease and reassured me. My daughter's key worker is fantastic and communication is great. I am amazed at the activities they get up to during the day! The nursery always seems to be finding new ways to engage with not only the children but the parents too. Very happy with our decision to start her at Toad Hall.
We moved our 2 year old to little Toads as we felt our previous nursery wasn’t engaging enough and our boy did not seem to be enjoying it. We have been impressed with the staff there and too many to mention. Our little boy seems much happier here.
Our son went to Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin for 2 and a half years until he started school. We joined in stressful circumstances as his previous nursery had closed suddenly, but the staff at Toad Hall did everything they could to help him settle in. There's a lovely atmosphere at the nursery and you can tell the staff are a real team, who care about providing a warm and nurturing environment. Despite the upheaval of lockdown, the staff never waivered in their dedication to the children's wellbeing, and we are so grateful that our son was able to continue going to nursery during a time that was incredibly unsettling for children. He was very well prepared for school and loved his time at Toad Hall. We would highly recommend it as a nursery setting.
We are extremely happy with toad hall and the onboarding of our son. He, and our daughter, are extremely happy and the nursery is perfect.
We have been very pleased with Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin for both of our boys, they have gone the extra mile to create a fun and supportive environment in this very tough year.
Toad Hall is a lovely nursery setting, both my children love attending. The staff are a credit to the nursery, they are warm and friendly and care about the children they look after. Toad Hall are active at developing their staff and I’ve seen shy trainees turn into confident nursery staff members. They are constantly assessing the children and their needs, adapting when necessary. They are active in the children development progressing the children on when they are ready. It’s a weight off my mind when I leave them at nursery, I know they are being well looked after and the children are always happy when they come home.
The nursery also works hard to keep parents informed and are extremely dedicated.
We feel very lucky that our children have and continue to attend such a wonderful setting.
Very pleased with my child’s transition to her new room Dragonfly’s. She seems to be enjoying herself and lots of good development being done. Very pleased with the nursery overall and look forward to things returning to normal soon.
I visited a good few nurseries before I found this one and I just loved it from the off! The staff make the effort to get to know the child and parents and the things the children learn is amazing.

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.
