My daughter started at Toad Hall aged 14 months and has loved every minute, she has been in 3 different classes now and she has developed so much. I can't fault it. The staff are so friendly and caring. Every day she comes home on a high and always walks in the nursery excited with no tears. They always
do new activities like cooking, drawing, counting and now even French. They also spend a lot of time outside in the garden when the weather allows it. I am also very jealous of their meals! I would not hesitate in recommending Toad Hall, a great place!

Our little boy has been here since six months old and is now in pre-school. He thoroughly enjoys nursery and has a great imagination nurtured by all of the opportunities he gets at nursery. The staff are fantastic, this is the reason we chose the nursery. Through nursery he has done drama, sport and
French clubs which we can’t take him to bring at work. He has done something different everyday.

My little boy has settled into Toad Hall really well since joining in March. The staff are always welcoming and ensures that my son has his breakfast ready before I leave. It's lovely to see my son smiling and interacting with his friends with the variety of toys and activities and not wanting to leave
because he has had such fun throughout the day.
My son loves the food within the nursery, so much so he has seconds most days and mum's cooking can't cut it.
I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough. The love and care that is provided is second to none. Thank you girls for the amazing work you do.

Both my children have been at Toad Hall since they were babies, my eldest from 9 months, my youngest from 8.
They have both been well looked after and loved at Toad Hall. My eldest is off to school, and my youngest is moving to the nursery next door. We are sad to say goodbye, but I know that they
will both flourish because of Toad Hall and the skills they have learned there.
The nursery provides everything a child could need, and I know that I don't need to worry about anything when they are under nursery care.

Review from Letty S (Mother of Child) published on 11 January 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter came to Toadhall Nursery in Haslemere as her first nursery placement. She started full days at the age of 18 months old and thanks to the exemplary care provided by all the staff caring for my daughter, and the very professional and yet personal set up, my daughter was happy and flourished
straight away.


Her speech has progressed, she has become a better sharer with other children, and she can focus for longer on games thanks to the active encouragement at Toadhall. On days at home she often talks about her time at the nursery and really looks forward to her nursery days. She also eats a wider variety of foods. I feel all of these changes do occur with natural development but the rate she has shown this progression has far surpassed my expectations. I believe this is as a result of her time here. Thank you all for your kindness and care and only circumstances beyond our control have meant we cannot keep our daughter at your nursery.

I have two children that attend Toad Hall and my eldest is about to leave to start school having been there for the last three years. I can't fault the staff or the facilities at the nursery and always feel 100% happy when I drop my children off in the mornings.
The girls in both rooms are always
welcoming and friendly and really know both of my children and what they like and don't like.
The food is of a high standard, as is the cleanliness of everything and having things like sunscreen and nappies etc. included it's so handy for busy parents.

I couldn't be more delighted with Toad Hall... all the staff are extremely friendly and it is a delight to see any of them, both at work and if we bump into each other out and about. My son has settled well there and he is always happy to see the lovely women in his class - Little Stars. They always
provide a fun, exciting and welcoming space. I love the activities they do with him - and the whole place is beautiful. Teepee's, a garden, food cooked on site. When I first visited I felt so excited that for two days a week my son would be in such an inspirational environment and it has exceeded my expectations. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for making it such a special place for our precious treasures.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Toad Hall Nursery is an absolutely excellent care setting for children. It has a large open space for children to play in and each classroom is light and equipped with the facilities, toys and age-appropriate equipment required to develop their skills.
However, what really sets Toad Hall above from
other nurseries is the staff. They are all so friendly, kind, compassionate and treat each child as an individual, tailoring care to suit all stages of development. They are passionate about their work and are truly lovely people who do an absolutely fantastic job. The management team are organised and maintain smooth running of the Nursery and are both a credit to the nursery team.
The nursery environment is maintained to a high standard of cleanliness and it is clear that the children’s safety and happiness is paramount to all staff. I cannot recommend Toad Hall highly enough, my daughter enjoys going each day and that really is such a reassuring feeling as a mother.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
So pleased we found this wonderful nursery in the centre of Haslemere.


The staff are just outstanding, provide good daily feedback on what my little one has been up to, eaten if she has slept and nappies! They have such a varied and interesting daily routine (around standard meals and naps).


The

outside area has recently been improved and the little ones go out daily.


The toilet facilities have also been improved so they are connected with the relevant rooms to help with potty training.


There are regular events for parents to attend including parents evening which are informative and a good formal (in an informal way!) way to catch up.


The food is outstanding and again varied.


Overall an excellent nursery that I wouldn’t hesitate recommending (and have done to numerous friends!)

I can't recommend this place highly enough. We recently moved here from London although their excellent support and communication began before we even left and has continued comprehensively ever since.


My reserved almost 3 years old has settled in so quickly and loves the nursery and staff so much

that home time is a battle since he doesn't want to leave. This place and staff have been instrumental in ensuring our little man continues to be happy and develop and grow in confidence. He's come on well already in the short time we've been here, in terms of energy, speech, confidence helped by all the support, discipline, stimulus, freshly prepared meals and lots of outdoor time.


Honestly, this place is wonderful and no two days are the same- a great find. I'm only sorry this website won't let me name all the individuals who've been so involved.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have two children at Toad Hall - Haslemere (age 1 and 3) and we're really happy with it. The staff are lovely and incredibly caring, we are 100% confident that the children are being well looked after and having a great day while we're at work. The staff have made a big effort to get to know the
children and their likes and dislikes and they seemed to have formed a really nice bond - there are SO many cuddles! There is a lovely community feeling around the nursery.


They do a wide range of activities - art, cooking, phonics, singing, playing in the garden, reading etc... The three-year-old is always coming home telling us about what he's been up to, what he had to eat that day, who he played with and so on. The one-year-old has really been thriving since she started a few months ago - she settled in really easily and has become a lot more confident and chatty.


Communication with the staff is really easy - they are always responsive and accommodating.

Review from Charles R (Father of Child) published on 24 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Toad Hall is a very well run nursery, with very friendly and caring staff. From early morning cuddles to comfort my son, to the informative end of day updates advising sleeping patterns, activities during the day (which are varied and engaging) and a general update on his development.


The staff

are always happy and engaging, which is very noticeable as he cannot wait to jump out the car and start his day.


What I cannot work out is how they manage to get him to sleep for so long each day, as we haven't cracked this at the weekends !


I could not recommend the nursery enough. I hear stories from friends of some of their experiences with other nurseries and feel very lucky to have found Toad Hall in Haslemere.

As soon as you walk through the door to Toad Hall day nursery, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. This follows through to all the staff who are ever so kind, patient and friendly. My list of positive words could go on. The space available is more than plenty, the toys provided are many things a child
could ask for, the activities are well thought and the meals on offer even make my tummy rumble.
My son has settled well into the nursery life. It's a great feeling to know and see how content he is when there. Overall we are very happy with Toad Hall.

I have 2 children at Toad Hall Nursery Haslemere. Both are really happy and settled. The staff are always happy and when I ask my son if he had a good time he always replies "Yes, I did playing and eating", what more could a 3-year-old want! The only thing I feel could be improved slightly is communication.
Sometimes I don't find out about events until after they have happened.

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.

I am passionate about creating a home-from-home environment and inspiring the nursery team to create exciting and engaging learning opportunities.


I look forward to meeting you soon and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.
