I've had children at this nursery since March 2015 (five years) and they have always been happy to go in and have a great time. The staff are friendly and caring and build good relationships with the children. I like the fact that the food is prepared and cooked fresh on the premises.

In Toad Hall Nursery my son found lots of friends. He made massive improvements in every field of learning, such as counting, recognising words, foreign languages, alphabet, manners, sharing etc. The greatest aspect of all of it is that he actually enjoys going to nursery now and at home he talks of
his friends and his lovely teachers. I'm grateful to the staff for having made nursery such a fun place for my son.

Our son has been attending Toad Hall for six months and we have been very impressed with everything so far. The staff stand out in particular. They are friendly, professional and our son loves going as they make him feel very welcome. We are also pleased with the variety of activities for him. He loves
external visitors and the focus on outdoor play. There is detail paid to cultural events and the food is varied and he eats everything, including seconds!

Overall a great nursery. Initially picked it for convenience commuting to work as both of us (Mum and Dad) are working full time in London. Our baby settled in very quickly, largely down to key staff who took their time to get to know my baby and make her feel her happy and bubbly self. I can't thank
them enough! There are plenty of activities scheduled for all ages, we are kept well informed via emails and occasionally phone calls and during our regular catch ups with key workers. It is a secure, clean and happy place for our little one - the onsite team are always happy to assist. Also, impressed with the weekly menu choices - the chef makes effort to cook varied and interesting meals.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Pleased with the girls that lead the room. They always give updates on the activities my child has been doing and update how well she has eaten. I would have preferred an update on sleeping when that stopped as when we viewed the nursery they said some children do nap in this class and my child is one
of the younger ones but it's not a big issue as we get told about the rest of the stuff so that might have just slipped. Generally, the girls do a fab job sow well done. The nursery helped our daughter settle very well when she started last year and helped me get her eating well - so impressed. Thank you.

We're really happy with our experience at Toad Hall, the staff were super at settling our daughter into the nursery. Her development has come on brilliantly since she's been there and that is a credit to the staff.

I think Toad Hall Nursery is great. The facilities are good and staff are always so warm, bubbly and personable which is great to see/hear and gives me peace of mind when I drop my daughter off. My daughter talks positively about the nursery, her friends, the food and members of staff.

Amazing nursery! My son has been here for 2 years and settled in really well. He's very active and enjoys lots of activities such as sports and Jo Jingles. The food is healthy and varied. We love the staff and our 2nd son is starting here this month. Thanks so much.

We are thrilled with our child's development at Toad Hall. Her confidence has increased, she's learning all the necessary skills to become a well-rounded little girl. She's cared for brilliantly and most importantly she's happy! She loves her days at nursery, we couldn't ask for a better team.

We really loved the place, the staff, we feel, are very welcoming. My baby loves being there, he is learning lots of different things, he has loads of great activities. Every day he comes back home with something new that he has learnt.
The nursery has a great outside space. They have parent zone,
a website spare where you can check in a real-time the progress and development of your child.
I visited many others places before Toad Hall and I loved everything here. Highly recommend.

My little girl has been in the baby room at Toad Hall Nursery for over a month now. The staff are excellent - really friendly and approachable. Was feeling nervous about nursery at first as my daughter is quite clingy but the staff are very reassuring that everything is ok. My daughter seems to enjoy
all the food and snacks at nursery, has started to nap better there and doesn't cry when dropping her off now too which is lovely to see. Thank you to the team at Felcott Road!

Our daughter really loves going to this nursery. She has been in the baby room which was good and now in the toddler room which is excellent. The staff are welcoming, kind and caring and our daughter loves the activities. We also love receiving the daily stickers telling us what she's been doing, weekly
photos on the secure shared site and the regular items she brings home! Thank you for taking such good care of our little girl!

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.
