About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 38 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 38 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 30 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Toad Hall has been a fantastic experience for my little girl since she started in September 2025 . She's really blossomed - her confidence has grown and she's developed some amazing skills. The staff are top-notch - friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. From the chef to the housekeeper, everyone makes you feel welcome, and the manager's approachable if you need to raise anything. The activities sound amazing, especially getting the kids out in the garden, and the food's got great variety . Really happy with the nursery.

Absolutely amazing nursery in my opinion. My daughter is still settling in having just started at the beginning of September and the care she has received has really stood out to me . She loves the food and eats very well there , she sleeps at her normal times which shows she is comfortable. I feel like the staff pay close attention to the children's and parents needs and wishes . My calls to check she is ok are welcomed and I'm not made to feel I can not contact them and an update is always provided along with reassurance.My daughter developed a temperature this was quickly addressed and identified very professionally. All staff are compassionate and thorough. There is so much for the children to access that promotes there learning , regular activities, even workshops and my daughter particularly loves being in the garden . All round this nursery is outstanding and has made the very difficult transition of trusting others with your child a lot easier. I would highly recommend .

I was apprehensive about sending my son to nursery but the team made it so easy to make the transition with a couple of settling in sessions. As expected he took some time to settle in but the staff took it in their stride and were reassuring and positive at all times.
The communication during drop off and pick up is amazing. Staff take time to handover properly at both times. They adapt quickly to the baby's needs and put your mind at ease.
My son has come on leaps and bounds since starting at Toad Hall.
Any concerns are dealt with head on and with direction which is exactly what you need.
The staff work collaboratively with the parents to make sure needs are being met.
I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking to put their child into nursery.

I cannot say how pleased I am that Toad Hall had worked out this well for our family. Our boys love it every day they are there, the feedback we get is amazing and detailed.
