I think most staff at the nursery are very well meaning and try hard to care for my son. There seems to be a variety of activities and they play inside and outside which I like. Overall I would recommend the nursery.

Absolutely amazing nursery. All staff are so friendly and really helpful. They help you understand your childs' learning journey and reassure you every step of the way. The staff make you feel that you child is part of their family and in turn make you feel like you are their family.

I rate The Willows a good nursery. The staff in the Blossoms room where my little girl goes to are all very friendly and professional. They are always attentive to the children and generally show real care to their needs. The staff are outstanding. They are experienced and immediately give me confidence
that my girl will be looked after. Overall my little girl has settled in well since she started in January. My only concern about the nursery is the limited outside space. It would be great if it can be extended somehow for more outside play area.

My son has been going to this nursery for quite a while now and has progressed very well since joining. He loves getting in the car to come to nursery. He struggled with his speech and the nursery has helped him with this. The staff are very friendly and take your needs into consideration. Very happy
with this nursery and would recommend to any parent.

My grandson has enjoyed going to The Willows nursery. The staff are always helpful, there is plenty of things for the children to do. At the end of a session they inform us to say how and what the child has done.

Brilliant nursery, my daughter is learning every day and the staff is preparing her superb for the school. Sometimes would wish that more parents come on special days to celebrate with their children.

The Willows Nursery is fantastic! My 18 month old son started at the Willows 3 months ago and had a bad experience with a childminder which had made him shy and unconfident around other people which was so sad to see. Now, you wouldn't even recognise him! He's outgoing, confident and so happy. He loves
the nursery, the lovely people that look after him and has little friends which is so lovely to see. I swear he comes home everyday and can do something new, he is developing so quickly thanks to The Willows. He's also eating so much more variety. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone. Thank you to everyone for getting my happy boy back :) x

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl started in the Dragonflies room when she was 3 and the staff and other children were very welcoming and kind. She has settled in really well and loves going to nursery to play with her new friends and key workers. She also really enjoys Katie Sparkle and playing football. We have just
returned from a holiday and she couldn't wait to get back to 'my nursery' and see everyone. The food menu is excellent and varied. There is a lot of the children to do and the rooms are very spacious.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended the Willows in the Dragonflies room for over a year and is currently nearly four years old. She absolutely loves her time at nursery and had made lots of friends.


All the staff in her room are friendly and seem to genuinely care and enjoy being with the children.


My

daughter is really stimulated in the Dragonfly room - she has learnt lots of new things / sings many new songs and always has lots of exciting things to tell me about her day. The staff work on simple and fun pre-school activities with the children such as letters and numbers, a great grounding for school!


I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to others.

My son goes to the little blossoms baby room.
He absolutely loves the place. I find all the staff very pleasant on my arrival and haven't seen one person without a smile on their face, including fellow parents I see.
Couldn't recommend this place highly enough.
Keep up the good work.

Friendly staff, safe atmosphere. Everyone really genuinely cares for my child's welfare. He has dietary requirements and the management do take it very seriously - more than I do :) I will definitely be sending subsequent children there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son really struggled to settle in to nursery but the staff were so helpful in easing him in. They were very patient and encouraging, and I feel that my son has learned a lot since starting nursery last year. He has just moved up to Dragonflies and is really enjoying the more challenging activities
and environment. All of the staff are lovely and they are very good at comforting him when he is upset that I am leaving. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to others - I know that my son is safe and in good hands when he is there, and he tells me all about what a good time he has had when he gets home. The menu is healthy and varied too, which I am very pleased about. Lovely large rooms and outdoor space with plenty of stimulating toys. Thank you!

My son is in Blossoms (3 months to 2 years) full time and has settled in so well, the staff are very caring and he is so happy each day he comes in. He loves his time in the room as well as Katie Sparkle sessions on Wednesdays and their little visits to Kids in action on the site. His key person is
brilliant and knows him so well I can trust them all fully to understand his routine.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.724)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.724) out of 10 for Toad Hall Nursery - The Willows, Winnersh is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.724 for Toad Hall Nursery - The Willows, Winnersh is calculated as follows: ( (203 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 272 Ratings = 4.724
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Toad Hall Nursery - The Willows, Winnersh is based on 23 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
