Both of my children have attended the nursery since it opened. We can’t recommend the nursery highly enough. The children have always been well looked after and the staff and facilities are great.

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
interest in all the children. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

A fantastic nursery - I took to it from my first look around. The staff are warm and friendly but also professional. The spaces are well cared for and the communication with parents has really impressed me. I love getting the daily reports and checking the online portal. My 15-month-old had trouble
with being left at first (crying when we arrived) but the staff were always so kind and reassuring with him. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough!

Review from Monika M (Mother of Child) published on 25 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the first visit to this nursery, I felt very welcome by all the staff and got an impression of well organised and structured yet warm and family-friendly environment. I spent a considerable amount of time with the manageress and the room leader discussing my son’s needs, likes and dislikes. From
his first visit, he seemed very happy and settled which I was very relieved about. He instantly created a bond with his key person who couldn’t do more to make sure he got all the attention he wanted and more. I received a picture collage for each visit which will be a precious memory to us all in the future. I was briefed in detail at the end of the day how he was, what he was doing etc.
This is by far the best nursery I have visited and would love my son to stay there for longer if it wasn’t for the distance from home. We were very sad to say goodbye and would highly recommend this nursery to any parents.

My daughter started at Christopher Robin 3 weeks ago. I am very pleased with how well she has settled at the Pigletts room. Thanks to the experiences, patience and care given by the staff. She has already developed a bond with the nursery and is clearly enjoying it. The staff supported her routine,
eating and sleeping habit and have been doing fun activities with her almost every day while she is there. The positive experiences have certainly exceeded my expectation. If the children could have a bigger room to walk around, that would be my only suggestion.

My two children started at Christopher Robin London Road nursery when they were nine months old. The staff and manager have been fantastic and as a parent, I have always felt happy and reassured that they are being looked after well. The staff are caring and go above and beyond to make sure the children
are happy. We have been so pleased with the key workers who have looked after our children over the last three years. They have been amazing and we are so sad to be leaving you!


Thank you so much to all the team.

I can not praise all the team at Christopher Robin enough. From the settling-in day, to the first days, we were all reassured. My child settled in really well and loved going to nursery. As parents, we loved seeing what activities she had been doing and how much fun he was having. He loved the baby
room team and has been very well looked after.

My children have been going to this nursery for over 2 years now.
I initially felt apprehensive about leaving them but they have formed such lovely bonds with the staff, who are attentive and always supportive of their needs as individuals.
I could not be happier.
My children's development has come
on leaps and bounds since they started.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Great nursery. Very pleased with the standard of care. My son is challenged daily and is constantly learning. He has great fun every day doing activities both inside and outside. They regularly play outside getting lots of fresh air. We are really pleased with this nursery and glad we picked here.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.850 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - London Road (Guildford) is calculated as follows: ( (264 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.85
  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 25 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 25 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.
