Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lovely nursery, the Managers display of confidence and professionalism is very reassuring. The rooms and outdoor space are on the slightly smaller size, but better than a lot of other nurseries I visited, and worth the sacrifice for the kind and caring staff.
Healthy food given to children is an absolute
bonus, and one less thing to worry about!
Would recommend this nursery 100%.

My daughter has loved going to this nursery and really has blossomed. The staff are lovely and kind people who nurture the children when needed and offer a lot of support. My son has had a hard time here because he transitioned from another nursery. While he has been a difficult child the staff have
still treated him with respect and supported him with lots of encouragement. They have also helped me to get some guidance on this behavioural problems and he is headed in the right direction now. The kids love the staff, food, equipment and entertainment.

We were a little apprehensive with using a brand new nursery - would they have enough staff, resource, equipment etc. We have been however more than pleased with all aspects of care at Toad Hall. The staff are excellent, the manager is brilliant, knows all the children's names and sorts any issues even
those you don't even see as an issue in no time. The facilities being brand new are lovely and it is great that thy have their own kitchen on site - I have seen the food and it is lovely. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Fantastic setting!! My son settled really well at Toad Hall. The staff are lovely and the manager makes sure that all children are happy and well cared for. The setting is great, with spacious rooms and a beautiful garden with a large grass area and equipment. The range of activities and toys is fabulous.
The food is cooked on site and is amazing.
Well recommended!!!

I cannot recommend Toad Hall nursery enough! I came to the doors of Toad Hall after a terrible experience at another local nursery, the manager showed us around the place even though they were getting ready to go home. The entire facility is immaculate, every member of staff welcomes you with a smile
and most importantly my 3 year old son loves it! The nursery is fabulous and every morning I can relax that he is having a blast! In the few weeks he has been with Toad Hall he has learnt different Maths and Literacy skills. His all time favourite is when music teacher and sports teacher come in for the day once a week!
Routines at Toad Hall are fantastic, drop offs are stress free - even when little one is a little sensitive that day and doesn't want me to leave he instantly has the staffs attention with cuddles and fun things to distract him. He eats very well, all freshly prepared meals which 9/10 he will eat most of! There really is nothing I can fault Toad Hall for, if you are thinking of nursery for your little one be sure to take a look around Toad Hall, you won't look any further!

Fantastic nursery, I can leave my son without a flicker in my mind, and I know his emotional, physical, developing and progressing needs are met by the staff and facilities at Toad Hall exceptionally. Since beginning last year my sons has developed in leaps and bounds and I couldn't ask for him to feel
any happier going into his childcare each day. Thank you to all the managers and staff!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son is 26 month old and has been in Toad Hall for almost a year now and we are very satisfied. The team is very nice and enthusiastic, always looking for new activities for the children.
The facilities are great and brand new, very well equipped with loads of toys.
Food is prepared onsite and
seems healthy.
Kids are involved in all sort of activities. Recently they went to the food market and bought a fish and a few days ago they prepared their own meal. They do different messy plays, creative or pretend activities (recently they had a hairdresser corner, now it's a post office...). Each room has access to a garden with numerous toys, grass and soft ground.
The management team is always available to discuss or listen to any concerns or answer questions.
We visited several nurseries before choosing this one and we have never regretted our choice, as, even though it's fairly big, it doesn't feel impersonal as some nurseries can do.

My son loves attending the Toad Hall day nursery at Goldsworth Park and even though he only comes once a week the staff are great and put him at ease. He especially loves the outdoor play area and participating in the sporting activities.

Toad Hall is like our extended family. The team are fantastic and my son loves it here. I know when I drop him off he is safe and very well cared for and couldn't ask for any more, if he's happy I'm happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I used this nursery for my daughter before the fire, and for my son for preschool from Jan - July 2015. I have been really impressed at how the nursery has flourished since it's reopening. The facilities and equipment are of course lovely and new, with the dedicated outdoor space for each class a key
attraction for us. The food is of high quality, and great to get little ones used to more unusual tastes.
What I did not expect was the imagination and resourcefulness of the management, constantly coming up with new fun ideas for activities and events over the past months, and being very receptive to parent feedback. Particular highlights for my son were the weekly visiting music teacher, visit from the reptile man, and cooking activities. He had a great time at preschool, and now is very ready for starting 'big school'.

My little boy started in March and has settled in really well. The staff are amazing and so is the nursery. They are very helpful if you have any concerns about your child's progression. Also if your child has an accident and it's really bad they ring you straight away and advise you at what they think
is best to do which was perfect when my little boy fell and cut just above his eye. Thanks Toad Hall I will be sending my youngest to the nursery when he turns two :)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff are very friendly and attentive our son's needs. They discuss his time spent there with you and never try to rush you out the door. My son enjoys his time at the nursery (once he's there!), he's going through a clingy stage so most sessions start and end with tears but I know he has fun
once I'm gone and the staff handle the situation well. He enjoys all the activities, especially playing in the sand and going into the nice garden they have.


The nursery is fully equipped with everything they could need and everything is provided so you don't have to worry about a thing.


Location can be a big part too, we are lucky to have the nursery just 2 minutes walk away. It's based in a lovely location and allows the staff to organise outings round the lake, to the shop and on the bus etc.!


I would definitely recommend the nursery to others.

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.
