My son has loved his time at Toad Hall! He had only been there for a year and a half but he always has a happy face going in and coming home so I know he has had the best day! The staff are friendly and approachable and helpful when I have needed anything. I am going to miss my son going here when he
goes to big school in September! Thank you Toad Hall for being part of his journey I know he will miss you!

Fantastic nursery!
Our daughter has been at Toad Hall since 2020, and will be leaving to start school, and we couldn't have asked for a more supportive team of experienced individuals.
The communication, learning experience, and importantly safe and happy environment have always been excellent!

My 2 children attend Toad Hall, and they have been great with them both. My daughter has made so many friends, who she is going up to school with in September. My children have increased their confidence and are very happy here. I'd 100% recommend this nursery.

Our Son has been at the nursery since September 2022 having moved into the area. He greatly enjoys his time at nursery and has thrived in his development since. Toad Hall's biggest asset is their ethos for learning and the staff they employ. We would highly recommend the nursery to any future families.

We as a family have found Toad Hall to be an outstanding nursery. Whenever we had any concerns, queries or issues we wanted advice/guidance on, we have found all staff and management to be helpful, understanding and sensitive to our needs. We have never felt silly or nervous to discuss our concerns
and know they will always be dealt with appropriately. I would like to take this time to thank you all at Toad Hall for all you do to support our daughter and us as a family, for ensuring she has the best experience in growing, learning and developing. We look forward to enrolling our next member to this lovely setting.

I cannot praise the nursery enough. The team go above and beyond to ensure the children develop and enjoy each and every day. Children go in happy and come out happy. The staff are always kind and attentive, even under the daily pressures of working in a nursery setting creates. The management are fantastic
and as a parent, feel included and supported in their decisions. The resources and grounds are second to none, providing endless fun and learning opportunities, whatever the weather. And the food options are incredible. I wouldn’t want to send my children anywhere else!

I have been using the amazing childcare that Toad Hall Day Nursery provides for 17 years. All 4 of my children have attended Toad Hall my eldest being almost 18 and my youngest who currently attends is 3. They have all received the very best care and I have left all of them feeling confident they are
safe and well looked after on all levels. They care for children like their own. The nursery are very professional and ensure all children are not only cared for and safe but their needs are met and their development encouraged. They are organised and the children enjoy being there my little one goes in happy every session. From the baby room through to the pre school they are nurtured and have fun learning. They have great facilities and a brilliant outside area that is fun and safe. The staff are consistent and always friendly and approachable. I highly recommend this nursery.

My child has been at Toad Hall for more than 2 years now and lovingly refers to Toad Hall as the ‘fun house.’ The staff are always polite and helpful and my daughter loves the activities they lay on for the children there. My older children attended Toad Hall also and they had the most wonderful experiences
before they eventually went to primary school.

Our son has attended Toad Hall for nearly 3 years. He has really enjoyed his time there, has made lots of friends and has always been happy to go. We have received regular progression updates and also many daily photos of activities that have been taking place. The way they have done learning through
play over the years has been really good and helped him learn so much. We'll be sad when our time at Toad Hall comes to an end as we've been so comfortable with him attending the setting.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Toad Hall Day Nursery Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.955 for Toad Hall Day Nursery Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (379 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.955

  • b) 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 Day Nursery Ltd is based on 33 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2, which has been reached with 33 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
