Brilliant. The teachers are caring and help to build out the children's skills. The facilities are amazing, with so much outdoor space to play in and a great variety of toys. All toys are well cared for. Such a wonderful place for children to thrive.

The boys have grown into such lovely boys since being at Toad Hall Nursery Walton-on-Thames. The staff go above and beyond for the children. They helped massively after my son's autism diagnosis, they put in extra measures and dealt with the situation with such care and compassion. The boys absolutely
love coming here and we will miss this nursery so much. Special credit to the members of staff who do everything possible to make sure the boys have grown into great caring children. Also helped with their speech massively!

The staff inside each nursery class work very hard and they deserve a pay rise. The communication from the nursery, as a whole, is disappointing often late, lacking information and with spelling mistakes. I do feel value for money could be better, with more exciting food and snacks, more stimulating
learning and more outside classes - dance/yoga/singing etc.

My child loves coming to nursery, even though he only does once a week. I feel he has made some great connections with the staff and children. They do a nice amount of events throughout the year, which is lovely. My favourite one being their graduation which is so, so sweet. Both my children came here
from age one and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Both our children came to Toad Hall, as with our first child we only have good things to say about the nursery, including the buildings and most importantly the consistency of care and education our children have had. Thank you so much.

All three of my children have attended Toad Hall. They have always been happy and secure there. The staff are wonderful and it’s a testament to the nursery that most of the staff have been there since my first child joined in Jan 2016. The outside space is fabulous and filled with toys. When stating
school, the teacher commented how well prepared my child was for school.

My son loves Felcott Road Nursery he has been there since he is 9 months old and is now 3-years-old. The staff are brilliant and really get the best out of him, he comes home every day with new skills that he has picked up. He has made lots of friends and feels so comfortable in his class and looks
forward to seeing everyone every day. Thank you, can’t recommend Toad Hall enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of our children have been to Felcott Road nursery and we are absolutely thrilled with how well they have done there. The staff are so caring and go out of their way to ensure the children’s needs are met. Our son is in preschool at Felcott Road currently and the team are doing an amazing job getting
him ready for starting school in a couple of months’ time. Two years ago the staff identified that he was somewhat behind expected progress with his speech, so an individual support plan was put in place for him. This was entirely at the suggestion of the Felcott team and they handled this brilliantly with us as parents. He has benefitted so much from the support plan and as a result, is now at the expected level - we are so grateful to the team for their help. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Felcott Road, we cannot fault any aspect of their service.

My daughter started in Toad Hall Nursery Walton-on-Thames when she was 10 months old. She loves it so much, she has made lots of little friends. She is now two and has lots of fun every day, is developing so well, takes part in lots of activities both fun and educational. We are very content with the
care that she receives. All the staff are really lovely and were very supportive when my daughter had a bit of a wobble moving from one room to another. They did everything they could to make the transition as easy for her as they possibly could. The garden area is really big, which for me was important, as I like my daughter to have that outside space to play. They also have allotments so that the children can learn about growing vegetables. Overall we are very happy with the level of care that our daughter receives and I would highly recommend.

As I have said previously, the nursery is brilliant, but the only thing that does let it down a little, is the fact that they haven't embraced digital communication in general across the whole of the Toad Hall network. The communications we get from the staff are brilliant, but it is all written down
on paper, and sometimes, things can get missed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I recommend Toad Hall Nursery to all parents. My child attends the nursery and has been there since he turned 11-months-old. In the mornings, my child literally jumps out my arms to go into the nursery, the care and attention he receives from the staff are of a high standard. My child settled in so
well with help from the staff team and looks forward to going to nursery each day. The communication is strong. I am always informed as to how he has been and what fun activities he has taken part in. I look forward to the newsletter we receive each month from the management team informing us of upcoming celebrations and what the children will be doing next month. I’m very happy with the healthy balanced food menus and the amazing foods my child is eating. The nursery has a wonderful environment, and I love that each age group have their own garden areas and allotment.
The management team are very helpful and there if you have any queries, and have been so supportive.

Great facilities, lovely location and dedicated staff. Our daughter has a wonderful time at Toad Hall, learning, having fun and being outdoors. She has made a lot of friends and has a good relationship with the teachers. We have noticed how quickly she started learning in English, songs, numeracy, letters.
Excellent work guys. Thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.170)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.170) out of 10 for Toad Hall Nursery Walton-on-Thames is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.675 for Toad Hall Nursery Walton-on-Thames is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.675
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.495 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Toad Hall Nursery Walton-on-Thames is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 101 number of registered child places is 20.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.2 = 0.495
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Jacqui Halford

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2025

I have been working in day nurseries since 1995 after qualifying as an NNEB nursery nurse, giving me over 30 years of experience in the sector, including 28 years in management roles. In 2013, I completed my BA (Hons) in Education & Childcare, following a Foundation Degree in Management & Leadership in Early Years.


Throughout my career, I have continually updated my training in areas such as First Aid, Mental Health First Aid, Food Hygiene, and Safeguarding. I have previously been a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and will also be the named DSL here at Toad Hall.


My vision is to provide outstanding quality childcare and education in an inclusive, safe, and stimulating environment. I strongly believe staff are the biggest asset any nursery can have, and I am passionate about supporting and valuing each team member so they can create exceptional learning opportunities and give children the very best start.


Having my own children (now grown up and independent) attend Nursery, I understand the needs of parents and believe that forming strong relationships with families enhances every child’s Nursery experience.
