We have been thrilled with our decision to send our daughter to Toad Hall Nursery in Haslemere. From the moment we looked around we were hooked and we haven't been disappointed since! Our daughter absolutely loves her time in the nursery and always enters with such enthusiasm. She has built some really
good bonds with staff throughout her time in three different rooms (so far) and made some great friends too. All staff are always so friendly, helpful and attentive and her development and growing independence has been lovely to see. The nursery setting is wonderful. So clean, fresh, relaxed and varied and we have always felt so at ease. Food is varied, healthy and (sounds) delicious. I cannot recommend Toad Hall enough! We feel very reassured that our daughter is getting the very best care in these really previous early years and we couldn't be more grateful.

Toad Hall is a wonderful nursery and my daughter couldn't be happier. The facilities are excellent and the activities they carry out with the children are brilliant. All the staff are so caring and you can tell they love what they do. I would 100% recommend Toad Hall to any future families.

Toadhall provides the most fantastic environment for our children. They have so much fun learning through play and we could not be happier with the care provided for them. Our children are not fussy eaters and that is due to the excellent cuisine provided. I'd recommend Toadhall to any parent looking
for the best place for their children.

We could not be happier with Toad Hall Nursery Haslemere. The staff are caring and attentive and have really taken the time to get to know our son - he has great relationships with multiple staff. The nursery building is lovely, with a great selection of toys and endless ideas for crafts and activities.
Outside, the gardens provide an array of things to do. We like seeing the social media updates, and handovers are always good. Food always sounds great, and somehow able to get our toddler to eat his vegetables. The learning journal is an adorable record of first events and achievements. Thank you to all the team! Our son is learning and developing brilliantly.

My daughter has attended Toad Hall Nursery from baby to school leavers and I cannot recommend the nursery enough. The facilities, teaching, activities, food and management are all 10 out of 10. But the most impressive part of this nursery are the staff. They are the friendliest and most amazing people
that will go above and beyond to support and encourage your children. If you are thinking about sending your children to this nursery, do not hesitate as you will not be disappointed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We cannot recommend Toad Hall highly enough. Settling a ‘covid’ baby into nursery who has never been in another home let alone surrounded by so many new people and babies could have been a nightmare, but the staff at Toad Hall have made it so much easier both for our baby and us as parents. Our little
one is full of excitement when she arrives and is equally happy to see us too! We have only ever had 100% positive vibes from Toad Hall and have continually felt confident and happy leaving our treasure in their care. Important highlights for us - Allergies have been dealt with brilliantly, sleep challenges have been worked through In partnership with us, the car park is so useful to have, the outdoors space is very well equipped, we always get very fast replies to all email questions without exception (very valuable) and the two occasions we have been lucky enough to visit inside we can see cleanliness and safety is as paramount to them as it is to us. Thank you Toad Hall.

My daughter has been attending Toad Hall Haslemere since August 2019 and she loves every minute of it. She has grown into such a character and has made many friends there. The nursery nurses are very professional and caring. They are always interacting with the children and keeping them busy with varied,
fun activities. No wonder my daughter never wants to leave. She also loves her key worker and talks about her all the time at home.

The team at Toad Hall have been wonderful at helping our daughter settle in. They are very kind and caring, responsive to our daughters tricky eating and sleeping habits. She loves going to nursery. They have a great outdoor space and so so many wonderful activities including being active in the community.
Meals are excellent, varied, healthy and balanced. I would not hesitate to recommend Toad Hall.

After moving to Haslemere from London, we were looking for a nursery that would feel like an extension of the home to help our daughters feel as settled as possible. We instantly saw that our girls felt safe and happy each day. The communication between the key workers and parents are very good at the
end of each day. Overall, we have been very happy with Toad Hall.

We have been very happy with Toad Hall Nursery and all of the staff. Our son has always been excited to spend time there, and that is no doubt due to the genuine enthusiasm of the staff to care for the children. The nursery feels very welcoming and friendly, whilst also being professional in its operation.
Activities and food are varied, and our son continues to have a fantastic experience!

We looked at a couple of nurseries for my son, but as soon as we walked into Toad Hall we knew we'd found the place for him. The nursery is in an old school and has a large room for each age group, a lovely vaulted main hall and stage, and two gardens, so there are lots of spaces for the children to
enjoy. The staff are attentive, kind and talented educators, their level of care is exceptional, and you can tell they like where they work. The food is excellent, and they open up the kitchen for the children to cook and bake, which really opens up their interests and encourages them to try different foods. They also have a lovely programme of activities, from animal visits (the bearded dragon and donkey were particular highlights), sports, French lessons and even the opportunity for older children to visit a local care home once a month. My son was there from about aged 1-4, and he loved it so much - they also prepared him very well for the transition to school. Highly recommend.

Review from Mark M (Father of Child) published on 7 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having moved to Hampshire from Surrey a couple of years ago with a newborn a year later we were looking to place her in a nursery - we initially had her in a nursery which at first we thought was adequate but later seems that the standards had slipped and seemed more focused on getting money out of
the parents than child needs. With this we did a search for a new nursery closer to home and ended up choosing Toad Hall in Haslemere - the location was great, parking good and well all the staff look professional and eager to look after the little ones. Internally the old school building looks amazing, and the kitchen area clean and professional looking.
Our little girl loves the school and is so excited to go to school every day, looks forward to seeing the staff who are fantastic as well as the other little ones - she is always happy going in the door as well as coming out at the end of the day. We as parents can't recommend Toad Hall enough - we love the place and so does our little one!

My son has been at Toad Hall from the age of 9 months. He is now in pre-school and he has loved every class he has been in. The nursery is of an exceptional standard. The management and staff are very friendly, well trained and excellent in communicating with parents on all topics. I am so pleased to
have this nursery take care of my little boy on the days that I work.

My daughter has been at Toad Hall since July 2018. She has bonded so well with the staff (and her key person) in her room, and the staff tend to her individual needs well. She always comes home talking about her day and who she’s been playing with. The staff are very attentive and friendly, they are
very approachable. They always seem to have a smile on their face and be so cheery that early in the morning. The nursery itself is spacious, the rooms are tidy, clean and have lots for the children to do. Her speech has come on so much, and I am amazed at how much she has developed since starting.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter joined the nursery in October, the staff were incredibly welcoming and kind, taking time to get to know and settle her. Thus making the, at points, stressful transition into nursery life as easy and simple as possible. In the months since she joined, her character has really come out and
she has become a social butterfly, something I greatly credit the staff at Toad Hall for.
The nursery itself is beautiful in terms of look and feel. A lovely garden, with plenty of activities. This is something mirrored indoors with lots for the children to do. The nursery is always well presented. My daughter is quite the foodie and enjoys her food, so needless to say the food is a hit with her and she always eats. There is an abundance of options, most of which I would rather like to have myself!
The staff are always so friendly and welcoming and a real credit to the company. I know that when I leave my daughter she is well cared for and loved like she would be at home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.654)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.654) out of 10 for Toad Hall Nursery Haslemere is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 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 4.950 for Toad Hall Nursery Haslemere is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.95
  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 4.704 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Toad Hall Nursery Haslemere is based on 10 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 71 number of registered child places is 14.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.2 = 0.704
  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.
