Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin

Our son loves his time at Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin. He is so comfortable in the setting and enjoys the wide variety of toys and activities. It is really good that the three preschool rooms socialise with one another as this is great preparation for school. Our son has been at the nursery for a year and we have no complaints. The staff are very good with our son and are kind and helpful.

I am extremely happy with all aspects of the nursery. Staff are friendly, caring and engaging. My daughter loves going in and we see the positive result of her time there in her personal development. They also have a wonderful and varied menu that my daughter loves. There is plenty of interaction, stimulation and activity on offer. The staff clearly love their job as it shows in all of the happy children I see at drop off and pick up.

Both my boys attend Toadhall Nursery twice a week. They absolutely love being there, in fact they skip on their way into the building. The staff are caring, friendly, kind and supportive. The items that are covered during their day at nursery are fab, my eldest son already knows more French than me and his handwriting is coming along beautifully, and his knowledge of maths is brilliant. My youngest has always had an issue with textures / wet things, and since being in nursery he is encouraged to have some time playing with the things he doesn't usually like and now is much better with them. His speech is coming along beautifully and he's become very confident. The variety of meals also inspires me to change up my cooking at home! The layout of each room and the variety of activities and toys available is fantastic. There is a great atmosphere at the nursery.

I highly recommend Toadhall and have done to a friend who has her son attend.

Thank you to all the staff, keep shining!

All the staff know all the children by name. They are very kind and accommodating for specific needs. Outdoor space is great and children make good use of it, daily. Great provision of outside providers for specialist activities such as sports and French lessons. Our child is very happy and loves attending, especially with the almost daily craft and art activities that get brought home.

The room leader in Badgers is amazing. The time she puts into the day and how compassionate and kind she is has really brought my son out of his shell and he has really gained in confidence.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for almost two years. She is always excited about going into nursery. The staff are friendly and take an interest in the children and their likes/ dislikes and their life outside of nursery. The nursery offers a wide range of activities and learning opportunities. They get an opportunity to play outdoors every day, weather permitting.

I would highly recommend Toad Hall to anyone looking for a nursery for their child.

I have 4 children and all have been with childminders so it was a huge decision to change my son into a nursery. After my first visit to Toad Hall, I was confident this was the best decision for him and me.

He has thrived while coming to Toad Hall and is confident, happy and settled. He has built a bond with his key worker and looks forward to his time at nursery.

In the year since my daughter moved to Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin from another nursery, she has accelerated in her writing, her social skills and play. We believe the team invest themselves totally in the children and with a low staff turnover they provide the consistency to enable shy children to come out of themselves.

Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin was the only nursery that had availability by the time I applied for my 3-year-old daughter so I didn't have much of a chance to compare. However, now I think it is one of the best nurseries in Hertfordshire because they are very organised as much as flexible, good at teaching a routine as much as fun. Both the staff and the management are always professional and also sincerely give their love of family. Toad Hall Nursery Hitchin has literally become our second home, they helped my daughter to adapt to British values smoothly since we moved from overseas. I can't appreciate them more.

My daughter absolutely loves going to this nursery, she adores her key worker. The staff are all great and make her day so much fun and there are lots of well thought out activities. We're really very impressed with this nursery and it is very easy to get to, has lots of parking.

My daughter started Toad Hall about 3 months ago when she was 19 months and I went back to work. Every time I drop her off she goes off with barely a backwards glance and every weekend she wants to go to nursery! She is clearly very happy here and that is entirely thanks to the amazing staff and the brilliant job they do with their small charges. I get to go to work without having to ever worry about her safety and happiness and she gets to play with other children and enjoy a world full to the brim with activities and fun. I'm confident that she gets fed a healthy and nutritious diet and lots of outside play time which were two things that were very important to me. I would not hesitate to recommend Toad Hall to anyone looking for a nursery environment for their child.

My son is enjoying the nursery right from the day one. He has developed a great bond with his room carers. We have observed a significant development in him over a period of small duration. I highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter started going to Toad Hall nursery from 11 months old for one day a week and settled in very quickly which I think was largely down to the staff and the environment. The staff are always doing new activities with the children, even from a young age and there seems to be the right level of stimulation for her age and ability. The staff are very friendly, caring and I have no concerns leaving my daughter in their care. I would highly recommend Toad Hall to anyone.

Our daughter has been going for a year now and settled in immediately. She struggled with a childminder before going to Toadhall and we were very nervous about how she would get on. But we shouldn't have been! We have been thrilled with the way she has grown and developed over the past year and she loves her time there. She has made some great friends, which she has moved up to new rooms with and she has consistently eaten well and napped well there. Since new management has started we have seen some real improvements in terms of staff management, nursery environment and security and couldn't feel happier in the way the nursery is run. The staff are always friendly and supportive and we always feel like they have time to talk about our daughters development and to give feedback at the end of each day.

I can't speak highly enough about Toad Hall. We recently moved up here from London and the staff have been so friendly, welcoming ad supportive through my sons transition. He is thriving at the nursery - everyday he has so much fun and learns something new. They have a great mix of play and learning and he is really thriving. Its a busy, fun filled environment and is great or his social skills,. I feel so happy knowing that my son is being cared for by such wonderful people.
