Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin

Our son has been going to Toad Hall for 8 months (currently in the Butterflies room) and we have only good things to say about our experiences. He always looks happy to go into the nursery and comes out smiling and laughing. The range of activities he gets up to every day is exceptional and we see a clear progression in his development as a result of his time at nursery. Staff are friendly and always happy to answer any questions. Highly recommended.

Our son hasn't been in Butterflies for very long but he has settled in well. The staff seem really kind and caring. He does loads of interesting and varied activities each day. He also seems happy to go in each day.

I have used Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin for a number of years for my 2 children. The level of care has been second to none. The staff are very friendly and have always helped if I had any questions. Thank you to all of the staff.

He has never had a bad day at Toad Hall and always comes home smiling. Everything they do is absolutely brilliant and all of the staff really care.

Toad Hall has been a wonderful setting for both of my children and I are genuinely sad to leave now my children are moving to school. Toad Hall has done wonders for my childrens development and have been great at meeting the needs of my youngest that has Special educational needs and disabilities. Despite the many challenges this last 18 months has thrown at us all Toad Hall has risen to it all and I am grateful for this. We have great relationships with the staff and they have a great fondness for my children. My children have been happy at the setting and we still have contacts with other children and parents from Toad Hall.

I have no concerns leaving my child at Toad Hall on a daily basis. Butterfly room staff are amazing. They are very informative, caring, considerate and extremely professional. I highly recommend Toad Hall.

Our daughter has always been extremely happy at Toad Hall and has been so well looked after. She has developed such confidence whilst attending. All of the staff have such energy and are so caring towards all the children and I always felt that they knew our daughter so well. She formed a fabulous bond with her key worker and always looked forward to going in to nursery. She's developed fantastic maths and phonics skills, amongst everything else. We will all miss coming here now she's off to school. Would highly recommend to anyone.

My son has grown so much under the care of the staff. He is more aware of himself and has developed better manners and listening skills. We are so grateful for all the laughter and new opportunities he has had. Thank you.

Amazing nursery, very dedicated staff in the butterflies room. They have carried out some lovely educational activities with my daughter and she really enjoys her time there and has built good bonds with the team in her room.

The team have taken excellent care of my daughter. They are friendly, kind and really care. Some days she doesn’t even want to come home with me. I know the team have worked so hard to prepare her for reception in September. Thank you so much.

Both of my nieces attend Toad Hall and I have seen such a big leap in their learning and development. Their confidence has undeniably improved and I feel the nursery have supported them throughout the pandemic. They show me their home learning bags and talk about their caregivers. I know they are so well cared for in Hedgehogs and Ladybirds and I have recommended the setting to so many!

Both my girls attend the nursery and they love it! They always bring home such lovely gifts for me that they have made during the day and such nice stories of their day. The staff are all wonderful and can’t do enough for you! Thank you everyone at Toad Hall for looking after my princesses so well!

My boy started in September 2018; he was very well looked after and given the right amount of attention and care. We left in September 2020 to go to pre-school locally, but was so happy at Toad Hall; he made so many friends, he still has, and the feedback was always useful and detailed, making us feel comfortable. My daughter started in September 2020 and is currently in dragonflies. She is loving it and grown so much ahead, developing and making special relationships. The teachers are always so happy and helpful and listen to us as parents.

Our daughter feels happy and confident at the nursery. She enjoys a lot of different activities, and we are very impressed by the creativeness of all the staff and their attention to her personal traits and development.

Our son has been at Toad Hall for just over a year. He’s really happy here and loves the staff. He walks in happily in the morning and chats about his day when he gets home. We love hearing about what he has been doing and are really impressed with how the team take into account our son’s interests. Any concerns have always been dealt with swiftly and professionally, and the team are always on hand to answer questions. Highly recommend!

I am a retired teacher, and I collect my granddaughter from nursery three times a week; in the car, on the way home, we always talk about her day. She talks fluently and with a wide range of vocabulary about what she has done that day, and she expands her descriptions with comments about what she likes, what she has observed and how she feels. From our conversations, it is clear to me that all aspects of her development are being addressed by the nursery. She is being encouraged to speak confidently and clearly and is experimenting with new words and expressions; she is exploring thoughtfully many aspects of the world around her; she is engaging in many different forms of play and her imagination is being stimulated; positive, social interactions and behaviours are being encouraged. I am delighted to observe how much she enjoys her nursery days and how well she speaks of the staff who care for and nurture her. I can and do recommend this nursery with the utmost enthusiasm.

The food they get is amazing and even makes me jealous. They get nutritional meals every day. Both of the Managers are great!

The staff are fantastic - caring, friendly, always look professional and my daughter is always happy to be going there for the day - which is the best feeling when dropping her off.

My boy loves the Nursery, he runs to meet his friends and teachers every morning and doesn't want to leave in the evening. There is a very friendly family-like atmosphere in Toad Hall.
