Superb nursery in a highly convenient location facing Stoke Park. The staff are attentive to the needs of each child they look after and they are all extremely caring. The facilities are excellent, but most importantly the children are happy and well cared for. Thank you to all the staff for looking
after our children so very, very well.

My daughter has been at Christopher Robin (London Road) since she was 11 months old. She totally loves it and we have never once worried about her care. The staff are nothing short of amazing. My daughter has learnt so much whilst there, especially now she is enjoying the Montessori education along
with weekly French lessons. Although expensive to some, I don't think you can put a price on someone else other than you caring for your child and we only wanted the best. In my eyes, we found it!

The staff could not be a more caring, friendly, knowledgeable team of professionals. They really did everything to help my 1-year-old settle in; she is so happy there.
The feedback you get each day is amazing, its really evident that they take time to get to know a child and care for them and their
development.

Review from Rebecca M (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my daughter started at this nursery, I was so worried about how she'd fit in and cope. She had previously been to a different nursery and it was a constant battle to get her to detach from me in the morning, there were tears and tantrums galore. However, from the first day she visited Christopher
Robin for her induction, she was ready for me to let her go. Every day now I struggle to get her to leave and come home. The staff are all fantastic and my daughter absolutely adores her key worker.


Every day she goes to the nursery, she comes home with new artwork that she's done and new words and knowledge that she has learnt from nursery. She seems to get on with all of the other children, and she's never said a bad word about the place (apart from the sauce that they sometimes put on lunch, but that's entirely up to my daughter being a fusspot at the moment).


I cannot recommend this nursery enough, and I'm hoping to send my daughter for more hours as soon as finances allow! Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at this nursery at five months and I couldn't be happier with my choice. He is there two days a week.
He has a lovely, dedicated carer supported by a wonderful team who provide me with a clear and thoughtful written report (with pictures!) every day.
The atmosphere is warm and supportive,
respectful of each child's individual personality and needs.
Activities are highly varied and good relationships between staff and parents are prioritised.
Most importantly my son seems very happy there!

Having our daughter at nursery since she was 5 months old and now she has left to begin school, we cannot thank the nursery enough for the contribution they have played in her early years. She enjoyed her nursery days and will miss her friends and staff that she has had such great attachments with.
We as a family, will miss you all and always hold happy memories of her days at nursery.


Since our daughter has started school in September, she has entered this next chapter with confidence. Being very independent in many ways and with the feedback from her school teacher, she has adapted very well to school life and settled straight in. In addition to hearing that, when she has been present of other challenging behaviour within the new environment of others, that she is aware how to behave and knows how to handle these situations appropriately. The guidance and support you have all given her to allow her to reach her highest potential is something we will always be grateful for.

The Nursery Nurse has been excellent with my son. He still struggles with drop off, but they seem to have a lovely bond. The girls in the Piglet Room are always friendly and seem to know each child really well. I'm really happy with our choice of nursery.

Review from Tobias J (Father of Child) published on 31 May 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our two children (two and three) go here four times per week, and the Christopher Robin in Burpham the other day. They have loved this nursery from the get go. They get three balanced meals, have flexible hours for a Montessori nursery and have a good garden with lots of activities.


My wife and I

love it because the staff are all lovely and genuinely love kids. The turnover is very low, so there's a lot of consistency of care. The manager is hands on, meaning she is in the rooms, observing and helping and getting to know all the children. Being Montessori, they help our children stay independent, learning through play. We teach them manners but they learnt to ask to start their food and ask to get down from the table from nursery first!


The children love the staff and the other children. They don't seem to have issues with biting, bullying, fighting or anything else you worry about as a parent. They find it very easy to form friendships here.

Fantastic place! The staff are brilliant committed and truly enjoy being with children.
My daughter took a long time to settle in (purely due to only going there just two days a week) but when she did there was a massive improvement in her social skills and general overall behaviour.
I have no concerns
when she is there, the website access is great as I can check her development.

I can't rate Christopher Robin high enough from the first settling in sessions to starting full time, all members of staff go above and beyond to make the whole family feel welcome and your children feel at ease. They do so much with the children and open them up to experiences I wouldn't be able to
offer them at home, such as the messy play and special visits from fire engines and policemen to further their knowledge and experiences. Both my children attend, they never cry when I drop them off as they look forward to going!

Our experience with Christopher Robin has been fantastic. Our daughter settled in brilliantly, staff have all been friendly to me and caring and attentive to our daughter and communication has been excellent. Our daughter's dietary requirements and allergies have been handled with total professionalism
and accommodated without question. We know that our daughter is flourishing in the happy and safe environment provided at Christopher Robin and we greatly value the care her key worker and everyone else is giving our daughter.

We've had my son in the nursery since April 2016 and he's been really happy here, settling in very quickly. It's a warm, nice place and the staff are great, kids seem to be very happy. He's now in the pre-school room and he's learning so many things, across all areas, even though he is only attending
just a couple of days a week. We are very pleased with how he's been doing, the staff and management are top class, very helpful each time we needed help or support with anything. I would absolutely recommend the nursery to any of our friends, without hesitation.

Since returning to work from maternity leave and our daughter joined at 5 months old, we have always been overwhelmed with the love, care and attention she has been given. The staff are caring and attentive to children's needs and the relationship with her first initial key person was always reassuring
and we feel all staff have become and additional part of our family. She is very confident and keen to attend nursery! (Even asking at weekends!!) Our daughter is always very independent at home and since being at nursery, this has really developed from being given the opportunity of everyday tasks at nursery, she has learnt and gained confidence.

I was very nervous leaving my daughter at nursery even though she was 2.5. However both she and I felt instantly at ease on the settling in days. This meant I and therefore my daughter were absolutely fine on her first full day and ever since. My daughter loves the teachers, the children and the toys!
Her speech has improved tremendously and her vocabulary has widened also. I feel that my daughter has settled very easily and is very happy. The teachers are so enthusiastic and happy that the children embrace everything- it's lovely to see!!

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.
