Since joining Christopher Robin Day Nursery my daughter has developed in so many ways. She is more confident and balanced and she is very happy going there. The nursery itself is a bright and fun environment and it provides the backdrop for more effective learning. Our experience with Christopher Robin
Day Nursery is fantastic and I recommend it for all my friends and whoever looking for a caring and loving team.

Very warm and welcoming. Very accommodating towards dietary requirements. Been very flexible for swapping days/adding last minute days. The one negative I have is my son comes home overly stimulated. He doesn't go to sleep at night time. More structure and an end of day quiet time would be good.

Review from Lucy W (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been at Christopher Robin for 11 months now, she started in Kangas in December 2015 and has recently moved up to Roos. We have been delighted with the nursery to date - the staff are all extremely caring and enthusiastic and our daughter clearly loves the time she spends there. The
rooms are clean and well laid out and I love the fact that the children go and play out in the garden (in rain suits and wellies if necessary) - it's a great environment.
At the end of every day, you are given detailed feedback on what your child has done - what they've eaten, what they've played with, how long they've slept etc which is good to know. The food seems to be varied and menus are available to look at.
I have felt 100% confident leaving my daughter at the nursery, knowing that she is being well looked after, is enjoying herself, interacting with other children, and learning at the same time. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.

Fantastic environment for my little girl to grow, learn and have fun. The team are brilliant at bringing the best out of my little girl. All three of my children have attended Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Cranleigh and would not change my choice of childcare. I can work without worry and the smile
and giggles on pickup is evidence of a happy girl. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have two boys at nursery in separate rooms and the staff are fantastic. They genuinely care about the children they look after. Staff are friendly and very welcoming. The children always seem to be doing fun, engaging activities and you can tell that staff have accounted for each child's specific
needs. The outdoor areas are fantastic, allowing children to explore and get muddy! I love the ethos of the Montessori care and my boys are certainly benefitting from it. It would be great if there was a slightly earlier opening time of 7:30am and that childcare hours could be used in a more flexible way to allow those who work a couple of days to take advantage of all the hours available.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. The staff are excellent and it is so reassuring that the turnover of staff is so low. The children are extremely fond of them all and always gives them big cuddles at the end of the day. The days are well-structured and the learning is at the right level - challenging,
but remaining fun! The provision of sports lessons by an outside teacher is fantastic and thoroughly enjoyed by my little boy. The facilities are small but completed to a high standard. I am particularly impressed with the teaching aids and the food is amazing - I've definitely taken some recipe ideas.

I cannot fault our experience of Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Cranleigh. The staff have always been welcoming, friendly, dedicated and helpful. They really care about the children as individuals. Their flexibility has been amazing in helping me manage work as a self-employed consultant. I will genuinely
miss them when my son leaves for school at the end of this month!

Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Cranleigh has been a huge support over the last four years. As a mum, I have always felt safe leaving both my children with the staff. They are friendly and helpful. They listen to the children's individual needs and are very approachable. I would certainly recommend
this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter only joined a few weeks ago. We had moved her from another nursery where she had been since she was 9 months old (she is now 3 and a half). I was incredibly worried about her settling in as she can be quite shy but I needn't have worried. She loves it and was made to feel very comfortable
within the first couple of days. The nursery has great facilities, the nursery manager and assistants are lovely and my daughter is being stimulated daily. I am so glad we chose Christopher Robin and I would highly recommend it.

The team at Cranleigh are very caring and knowledgeable. My son always enjoys himself. I love the learning the stories that they create. The outdoor provision is great. The staff give very good feedback and always work with you to resolve any issues. I feel this is a direct effect of the excellent management

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My review would be to cover the entire time that my son has attended the above nursery. I have found that the whole team at Christopher Robin, Cranleigh have been nothing short of outstanding, in their attitude and commitment towards caring for my son. I feel that they have excelled in preparing my
son for the start of his school life. They have successfully recognised his strengths i.e. numbers and letter and continued to push his development beyond the median. Should I have another child I would not hesitate to enrol him/her into Christopher Robin. I cannot recommend the team highly enough as words don not do them justice. Every child should have a "Christopher Robin".

Review from Ellie V (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son attends Christopher Robin Nursery in Cranleigh and my husband and I have been very pleased with the nursery. He started in the baby room when he was 7 months and is now 3 and a half, they have helped him grow into a confident, polite and adventurous child who loves to try new things and meet
new people- what more can you ask? I don't worry about him being bored as, when the weather is nice, they go into their lovely garden and when it isn't so nice the children have a wide range of things to play with and do inside! The staff who work there are very friendly, a few have come around and babysat for us, and they genuinely care about the children. At the end of the day, we get a full rundown of everything he has done and they deal sensitively with times he has not been well behaved. We have been pleased that their recent Ofsted was good as this better represents the nursery than the score before. I would fully recommend Christopher Robin Cranleigh to anyone who asks.

Christopher Robin in Cranleigh has provided my son with a fantastic environment in which to learn, experience new things and enjoy himself. We are delighted with the care and attention given to him by the personable and dedicated staff - their energy and enthusiasm are remarkable, even at the end of
a long day. The facilities are brilliant and the quality of provision, space, food and so on are all extremely pleasing. Would definitely recommend.

This is the first day nursery I have used as previously grandparents had provided childcare. I am pleased with Christopher Robin. As the environment and staff have been incredibly nurturing for my daughter.


The outdoor and indoor space is purpose built and the access to facilities is excellent. The

nursery was recommended to me and I wouldn't hesitate in referring others.

Review from Tracey B (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My eldest child attended this nursery from 9 months old through to leaving for school and my second child has also been there since 9 months old and is currently 3. I cannot imagine leaving my child anywhere else. From day 1 the staff bent over backwards to ensure both the needs of my child and myself
were covered fully. They were always on hand to support us when required and offered invaluable advice as a first-time mum and a second-time mum.


The facilities at the nursery are perfect for the ages of the children there and are always clean and safe. The outside space has separate areas for different age children but all are accessible by low gates so that all the children feel they are playing together. This is especially nice when you have two siblings there that are in different rooms.


The flexibility that the nursery offers with regards to additional days is also a real bonus - it is the one form of childcare that you can always rely on to be there when you need them.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Cranleigh is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.892 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Cranleigh is calculated as follows: ( (367 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 407 Ratings = 4.892
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - Cranleigh is based on 34 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
