I highly recommend this nursery. It is thoroughly well run, with a collegiate and competent team of staff who provide a warm and nurturing environment to help children flourish. Both my children love it there. The nursery provides structured early education centred around 'themes' which are explored
week on week from different angles, e.g. recycling, transport etc. They focus on learning through play, fostering an environment which is highly effective at incorporating early concepts while the children have fun. They emphasise independent learning, meaning very quickly after starting I saw both my children learn to carry their plates back to the sink after eating, and say please and thank you at every turn. They also focus well on school preparedness and making school a fun thing for the kids to look forward to. Unusually in the sector the nursery is excellent at retaining staff - we have seen few changes since we started last year, meaning a consistent environment for the children.

The nurses and staff are exceptional-deeply knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely attentive to each child's individual needs. They strike the perfect balance between structured care and creative freedom, allowing children to thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually.


One of the nursery's greatest

strengths is how it nurtures creativity. Whether through storytelling, imaginative play, or arts and crafts, children are encouraged to express themselves freely and confidently. The staff create an environment where curiosity is celebrated and learning feels like an adventure.


Physical activity is also well-integrated into daily routines, with plenty of time dedicated to both indoor and outdoor play. It's clear the nursery values the development of both mind and body, and children are encouraged to move, explore, and grow in a healthy, active way.


Beyond academics and play, the nursery places a strong emphasis on manners, respect, and social skills. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Christopher Robin Day Nursery. From the very beginning, the staff created a warm, nurturing, and safe environment for our daughter. She absolutely loved going each day and came home excited to share all the new things she had learned.


One of the things

that really stood out to us was the nursery's strong emphasis on learning through play and exploring each child's individual interests. The team truly understands how to foster curiosity and creativity, and they encourage the children to develop at their own pace while still providing a rich, stimulating educational foundation.A special thank you to a particular lady who was my daughter's lead teacher, a true professional, very knowledgeable and nurturing.


We saw such a positive transformation in our daughter - not just in her academic development, but also in her confidence, independence, and social skills. The communication from the staff was excellent, and we always felt involved.

Fantastic nursery. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her time here and we were sad to leave. The staff were all brilliant and made her time there very special. She was always busy and doing lots of creative things which she loved telling us about. We were always kept informed of her daily activities with
lots of photos and videos. Her leaving book was so nice which had lots of photos and messages from staff from her whole time there. Really lovely nursery. Completely different experience to other nurseries her brother attended in the area where they always seemed to have staff issues and often called to say he couldn't go in as they didn't have the staff ! Christopher robin was a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much to you and the entire team for the wonderful care and support you've given my son, he has truly thrived - he's made such special memories and absolutely loves coming to nursery each day.
You've given him the best possible start to his education, nurturing his love for books, drawing,
singing, and even picking up a few words in Spanish and French along the way! He will be sorry to leave when he starts school in September.

The nursery has been amazing, we have 2 children there. The staff is amazing and supportive, the rooms are cozy and are constantly updated. The curriculum is really interesting, new themes every month for the children to explore. It is very well run and managed, minimal staff turnover, no unexpected
nursery closures. Couldn't think of anything the nursery could be doing better.

Professional, friendly staff, an amazing atmosphere. My child goes to the nursery with a big pleasure every morning. Since he started going there, my boy talks so fluently using a wide range of words and expresses himself very clearly. I believe all positive changes and developments we observe within
him is thank to the staff members.

It's a great Montessori-style nursery with hard-working and dedicated teachers. I have sent both my kids here and have always been happy with their care, kids come home fulfilled and happy and the teachers always seem to go above and beyond. The only downside I would say is that probably like most nurseries
after COVID, the infection control isn't as tight as it could be, i.e. if my kid is unwell then I always keep them home but given how many viruses they come home with, other parents aren't necessarily doing the same (and the kids aren't being sent home either). Appreciate colds are part of school life though.

Thank you for your review and we are delighted that you have chosen our nursery for both of your children and that you are so happy with our nursery team.

My little boy started at Christopher Robin in March and I honestly don't think I could have chosen a better nursery for him. The moment I first looked around the nursery it just had a warm and cosy feel and felt right!
All the girls in the Roos, have gone above and beyond to help him settle into nursery
life. He developed a fast bond with his key person which helped me to know he was ok there. It is lovely to see his confidence growing each time he goes.
The manager definitely has created a very caring and nurturing nursery, along with a wonderful team.
I would recommend them to anyone looking at a nursery for their child! I know my boy will continue to thrive at Christopher Robin, so thank you.

We are so happy with the nursery for both our girls; from Piglets to Tiggers the experience has been great. The staff are so wonderful and you can tell care about the children and take the time to get to know the child’s whole family. They’re very interested in the child’s development and know which
areas to explore further and help them grow and develop.

We loved this nursery from the day we visited for a tour and immediately knew this was the place for our 9-month-old daughter. She started in the baby's room where the staff were absolutely amazing... in addition to everyday care, they helped and supported her with every milestone. I really liked how
they encourage the child’s independence with everything they can do for themselves, especially when it comes to eating. That and their very varied and healthy daily menu, really helped my child develop positive eating habits (food was a very important factor for me). The manager is great, and the staff in the other rooms are also caring and very supportive with other milestones like potty training and nap adjustments. Each day they do plenty of fun activities and messy play and go out in the garden twice. My second daughter (5 months) has started now in the baby's room - I know she is in safe hands, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to look after her.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.860)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.860) out of 10 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - London Road (Guildford) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.860 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - London Road (Guildford) is calculated as follows: ( (327 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 372 Ratings = 4.86

  • b) 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 - London Road (Guildford) is based on 31 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
