The staff have made my son feel very welcome and included. He loves going to daycare everyday and has transitioned into the next class wonderfully. The communication is amazing and I am very happy with my son's learning progress.

My son loves going and always has fun and is smiling when I collect him. His speech has come on leaps and bounds, and he's thrived and excelled so much since being at nursery. He's also made lots of great friends. It's been fantastic for his social skills. His key worker is fantastic, very happy with
all the staff and the nursery.

Excellent childcare. When I drop my daughter off, her eyes light up when she sees her primary carers. I like that fact that they have an onsite chef, but the highlight of my day is seeing my child move along to nursery rhymes, which have clearly been taught to her at nursery (row-row is her fav).

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review, we are so glad she is sharing what she does at nursery at home with you all - there will be lots more songs along the way!

Highly recommend this nursery. Our son loves it here, and we have no complaints. Staff are extremely friendly, helpful and professional, and have been amazing during the last year of covid too.
I can't think of any reason not to send your child here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was not familiar with nurseries until I became a father and was shocked that this nursery displays exceptional professionalism. The lead up to my daughter's start was so organised and my hesitance to leave her without her parents all day was put to rest. Every step of the way I receive updates, newsletters
and pictures and she has only been there for 2 weeks. My perception of nurseries was that they play all day but they conduct great methods of child development which is key to getting them ready for the world ahead. Already when I am home with my daughter I can see a massive difference to her skills and this is due to the amazing staff they have there at Toad Hall Woking.

Thank you, Jason, for the wonderful feedback and I am so glad that you are happy here, we love having your little treasure!

My daughter has started Toad Hall this month and she is doing so well even though she is a lockdown baby. The staff are amazing in caring for my little one in the baby room and I can tell that she is making some progress in her development as she babbles a lot when we get her home and she wants to walk
with her walker too. The manager is very approachable and is there to listen to if I have any concerns. Definitely will recommend it to other parents!

Our daughter has attended Toad Hall since she was 10 months old. She's now turning four and in her last few months there. We will be so sad to see her go as she's had such a wonderful time at the nursery. We really value the care and nurture she gets as well as all the opportunities she has to play,
explore, have fun and develop.

The hardest decision I had to do, putting my son in childcare at only four months old but I can not recommend Toad Hall enough.
The girls in Hedgehog room are amazing, very hard working team, very welcoming, caring and supportive and they really made me feel at ease with settling my son in.
A lovely
clean setting, with a lovely outside area. Nice to see the food is made fresh on-site and also a good variety.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am so happy with Toad Hall, I am a single parent and making the decision to go to nursery was overwhelming. From the minute I went for a tour I knew that Toad Hall would suit my son to the ground. All staff are so friendly and approachable and I know that his care is always a top priority. They keep
me well informed of how his day is, anything new and what is coming up. Should anything be wrong during the day they are always very efficient in keeping me informed and always make me feel at ease? I would highly recommend this nursery, and I have done, to anyone looking to make this childcare decision. I had special safeguarding requests with my son and all staff have been more than accommodating meaning I can go to work at ease that my son will be safe throughout the day.

My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time at this nursery.
The staff are all caring and dedicated which was a key factor when choosing the nursery.
The management team are always professional and approachable. If there are any accidents, they contact us promptly in line with the guidelines. The nursery
is very good at communicating with families via emails, newsletters as leaflets and including organising weekend events. We are never worried about the care our son receives as he is being looked after so well and has a nice time.

At Toad Hall Nursery, the children are nurtured in a safe and stimulating environment. The staff are very committed to the all-round development of the children in their care and provide a variety of activities which the children clearly enjoy and profit from. Imagine my surprise when my granddaughter
aged 3 suddenly started counting to 10, in French! I am always impressed by the feedback given to us about your child on pick up. Well done, everyone! Granny and retired Deputy Head.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attends Toad Hall in Woking and has settled in extremely well, his key person provides something every day that stimulates his mind and makes him happy to come into. There is a warm and friendly atmosphere in the nursery, all the team are welcoming and standards are high. All rooms have fantastic
gardens with growing areas and lots of space to run which he needs! He loves the extra activities that they provide each week and comes away telling us all about what he has done.
The nursery puts on frequent parent or family events to join in with activities and also conduct Saturday trip so families can get to know each other which we have attended and enjoyed.
We are VERY happy with our nursery choice and proud that our son is thriving there!

The nursery is simply excellent. My son joined when he was 10 months old. The staff are brilliant - great with the children and highly professional. The facilities are superb with plenty of indoor and outdoor room for each class. The food provided is varied and interesting - it's clear that the children
love it. I had absolute confidence returning to work, knowing my son would be nurtured and cared for at the nursery. I couldn't have asked for more.

Review from Kim (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son moved from another Toadhall nursery in January 2016 (as we had moved homes). Initially I was apprehensive about the move as he had settled very well where he was. On my first meeting with the staff I was pleasantly surprised at how accommodating and professional they were in welcoming him. He
settled into the new class easily and has really formed a good bond with both the staff he deals with daily, as well as other staff members. He has made some good friends already and I am so grateful to everyone at the nursery for giving him such a warm start to 2016.
The quality of activity, learning and outdoor space is excellent and I feel that he has learnt so much already. The extra activities that have been put on are also fantastic - firemen visits and trips to the farm (with parents).
Thank you for everything you do with the children!

All the staff at this nursery are fantastic catering to each child's needs uniquely. I was very nervous about putting my son into nursery, but they have completely reassured me. Their day is full off varied activities which documented through photos shows that my son is completely comfortable and enjoys
every minute of being in the nursery. They always give a warm welcome when we arrive and a detailed pass over when we leave. We can't thank them enough for all they do!

We were delighted and very lucky to find so a great Nursery. The staff and facilities are great, my little one just loves it and settled in really well. The staff always have time to chat and the space the children have in each room and gardens is perfect and the rooms grow with the children. Location
is good with plenty of parking, lovely surrounds, central from all sides of Woking and quiet. The staff do take time to have a chat and the children all seem to build a great bond with all the staff. I have used another Toad Hall Nursery in the past and returned to the well known brand. This week ALL the staff were tested when there was a flood and amazingly turned the nursery around in a day to ensure parents and children were disrupted as little as possible. To ALL the team - keep up the good work!

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.342)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.342) out of 10 for Toad Hall Nursery Woking 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 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 4.883 for Toad Hall Nursery Woking is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.883
  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 4.459 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Toad Hall Nursery Woking 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 109 number of registered child places is 21.8. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.8 = 0.459
  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.
