I cannot fault Christopher Robin nursery. My daughter loves going there and has thrived since being back. The staff are amazing, we are always greeted with a smile and they are all so welcoming.
I would 100% recommend the nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

I couldn't recommend Christopher Robin (London Road) more, especially during this time;- when they've been even more thoughtful, supportive and engaged. I have two children at the nursery and both have always received the most brilliant care, they look forward to attending each day and have formed special
bonds with their "teachers". All the staff who've cared for my two have put special effort into finding the activities and feedback that make my children's days fun-filled and rewarding and for that, I cannot thank them enough!

So pleased that the nursery is back open and my daughter has very much enjoyed going back and seeing all the staff and friends. The activities are great and she is really thriving in tiggers with her key worker who always goes above and beyond!

I cannot recommend this nursery and it’s amazing staff enough - my daughter loves it there and everyone is very helpful and caring. The staff were especially helpful as my daughter suffers from eczema, it was very worrying for us because sometimes it would be very bad, but they helped with the cream
every day and were very supportive. This nursery is wonderful, I am so thankful and grateful to them.

Both my children attending Christopher Robin - London Road over a five year period and thoroughly enjoyed their time with the team. The experience has given both of them a solid foundation to their learning, citizenship and most importantly their sense of self. I would highly recommend it to any family
and we are sad our time there has come to an end. It’s a kind, caring and nurturing place.

Extremely pleased with how interactive the nursery staff are at Christopher Robin's, London Road. The activities are varied and fun. I really feel that the staff truly care very much about our son and always give great feedback about how the day has gone. I feel 100% reassured and happy that my son
is getting the best of care and attention, and it's a pleasure having their amazing support with childcare.

Our son joined the nursery 6 months ago and we cannot fault the set-up there. His development in independence and confidence is evidence of the Montessori style and his relationship with staff is very positive, helping him settle in and make friends quickly. Christopher Robin staff you're amazing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son really enjoys his time at Christopher Robin. He is excited when he arrives in the morning and he's full of smiles when he's collected in the evening. He wants to share his experiences with us and show us the toys and introduce us to the other children he has spent the day with. He has so much
fun, learning so much. He also loves spending time with his carers and they are amazing with him. They are great with us too - responsive and meticulous - and although it is great to get a report card every day that shows us what activities he's been up to, it isn't necessary in order for us to know that he's had an active day as he always comes home so content.

I cannot recommend Christopher Robin Day Nursery highly enough. The staff are incredible. They are extremely kind and caring and their dedication to the development of the children they look after is commendable. The manager and her team have worked hard to create and maintain a safe and nurturing environment,
which has been consistent throughout the eight years I have used them. In a nutshell, I have always felt completely confident that our children have received the best care whilst they have been there.

My son has attended this nursery since May and I cannot praise the team enough. He has gone from crying at drop off to just walking in and eating breakfast independently. He is always so happy when I collect him at the end of the day, and I love seeing photos of what he has been up to. The staff are
so happy and friendly, you will always be greeted with a smile. You can tell that they love helping the children to learn and thrive. This is a brilliant nursery.

My son has recently started in the baby room at the nursery and has settled in really well. The staff are all welcoming, caring and friendly and now he barely notices when I leave him. He seems to have a great time at the nursery and always looks happy in the photos I see of him. They all make a real
effort to make personalised things for special occasions too like fathers day and parents birthdays. I strongly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter is currently in Roos and she has been there since October last year and she has settled in so well. We moved areas and so it took me a long time to decide where to send her as my son had been at such a fantastic nursery/preschool before he started school and so I wanted the best for her
too and we have found it at Christopher Robin. All the staff are wonderful and the manager is lovely and so approachable.


Our daughter enjoys her days there and makes some wonderfully creative things to bring home and always enjoys going on the scooters in the garden.


Finding somewhere you feel comfortable and happy with for your child is always hard. I’m so glad we chose Christopher Robin.

I love this nursery. The children are well looked after, they are engaged and actively learning. My son told me he’d learnt all about plants at nursery and he’d learnt they need water, soil and sunlight to grow! I was very impressed.


My son is very happy and content here.

Having sent my son to two nurseries (Christopher Robin being the second) since he turned one, this nursery is miles beyond the other! You cannot fault this place in the slightest. From the morning welcome at the front door, the cheery faces over breakfast and the wave goodbye at the end of the day.
The staff are like family members to my son and he always comes away in a great mood with plenty of stories to tell of his day.

Review from Laura B (Mother of Child) published on 2 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We started using Christopher Robin, London Road Nursery in September this year. Coming from a childcare background I had high expectations and they have not failed to meet them. The settling in process was excellent, giving me confidence in the service and allowing my child to get used to the nursery
before I left them. The feedback I get from the team every day is brilliant, you couldn’t ask for more, it’s so special to see (via printed photos) what they’ve been doing each day when they can’t tell you! The team are friendly and professional and I have no doubt that the children are at the centre of their planning throughout the day.


They provide different fun and educational activities each day on top of the great toys and equipment they have in the room as standard. I couldn’t go to work as readily as I do without this nursery, and can’t recommend them highly enough. I had heard good things about this nursery and have not been disappointed!

We are so happy that our daughter goes to this nursery. The staff have been absolutely amazing at helping her to settle in and in adapting their approach to make sure she is happy. It's a lovely and welcoming environment there which is created by the staff who are warm and who genuinely care and show

Brilliant. I haven't regretted moving my daughter after another nursery fell very short of our expectations, despite the latter receiving a 'good' Ofsted. The manager is very professional, experienced and approachable - she has been in post for a long time. The staff in the Roos Room (18 mths+) are
incredibly friendly, personable, loving and competent and there is very little staff turnover, with the same smiling faces week in, week out. My daughter has been challenging - very clingy with her key worker, crying at drop off and lots of wobbles, however, I feel she has been given the best chance to settle by this team. Facilities are excellent - warm, inviting, bright and colourful with high-quality provisions and activities. I was relieved that there is a no shoes policy throughout. The online updates with photographs are informative and my daughter seems to sleep and eat well here. My husband and I have always been struck by how contented, engaged and well behaved the other children seem to be.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.865)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.865) 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.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.865 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - London Road (Guildford) is calculated as follows: ( (330 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 370 Ratings = 4.865
  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 - 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:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 31 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.
