Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter attended this nursery from two and a half up until school age. She absolutely adored every teacher in the nursery and couldn’t wait to go in every week. I’ve never felt safer leaving her somewhere. Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son absolutely loves attending Toad Hall, the staff are caring and attentive and clearly love working with the children.


The activities provided are varied, interactive and different each day. The outside area is a good size and is used daily! The mud kitchen appears to be a favourite area.


Food

provision is good and the children eat together at tables.


The younger children have time to interact with the older ones, which my son really enjoys and greatly benefits from.


I have no concerns about leaving my son here on a daily basis, even if he is a little distressed when I leave I know it will only last a few moments and the staff are caring and distract him perfectly!

My grandson has been going to Toad Hall Ottershaw since January and he loves it!
I pick him up and he is always so happy, full of energy and I can tell he has had a great day.
The care and learning that he gets to experience is amazing. The staff all look after him so well and understand all of his
needs and wants. The range of activities and celebrations that he gets to learn about is so wide, the nursery really does go all out.
We are so pleased with Toad Hall Ottershaw and couldn’t have picked a better nursery.
The nursery has a great family feel, we love it. We would highly recommend this amazing nursery.

My son started nursery life in January, he instantly took to the staff. He settled so quick and easily. I like following their Facebook page where I can see all the amazing activities he has joined in with as well as looking at his up to date learning journey. The staff are all to warm and welcoming.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to any family and friends.

Our son has been at Toad Hall Ottershaw since Sept 2017, he was 3 1/2 when he started there. He settled in very quickly and loves it! You should see how excited he is on a Friday morning in anticipation of their weekly dance party!


We are so impressed with the team there and the caring, fun environment

they provide. Their enthusiasm is obvious and they really seem to enjoy their jobs, which of course impacts on the happiness of the children. They are also great at educating the kids but in a way that is fun and playful. Overall, highly recommend.

Review from Amy E (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been a parent at Toadhall for a little while now and I really enjoy this nursery for my child, there was a staff turnover last year where we had a few staff changes but Toadhall managed this well and have had a big change in leadership and management in the more recent months and I feel this
has had a massive change to the Nursery.
Key people are welcoming and warm and they have found someone who is leading the team in the right direction, They have taught my child to be confident and to try things. They have exciting activities and they do things I would never even thought of doing at home and there is so much messy and sensory play for babies. The Staff are hard working and the ladies have an amazing bond with my child. The manager and her team should be very proud!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my daughter joined Toad Hall Nursery she had never been looked after by anyone else but instantly felt comfortable with the staff and has since become a confident child who adores every member of the team. Everyday she can't wait to go to nursery and has come on leaps and bounds emotionally and
mentally since attending. My daughter is truly happy and gets so much from being there. Thank you guys!

The nursery is friendly and sociable. My child has developed well during his time in the nursery in to a happy, outgoing and confident child. Since the Manager's arrival I feel that the nursery has a more professional feel and it certainly looks cleaner & better organised. When he is there I know he
is safe and loved.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.122)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.122) out of 10 for Toad Hall Nursery Ottershaw 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 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Toad Hall Nursery Ottershaw is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.122 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Toad Hall Nursery Ottershaw is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 41 number of registered child places is 8.2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.2 = 0.122
  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.
