Our son has attended Toad Hall full-time since he was a baby and he has absolutely thrived. The care, expertise and meticulous attention to detail have been evident since day one. The regular updates on the app, early years tracking and key worker catch-ups with parents are brilliant at keeping you
aware of how your child is doing too.
Our boy absolutely adores nursery and chats away about his friends, the amazing staff and all the fun activities they do. The facilities are superb and the surrounding area is just wonderful too - lots of trees and nature. The rooms are beautifully equipped and activities are always fun and engaging.
We couldn’t wish for a better nursery and are so pleased we managed to secure a place for him at Toad Hall.

I've had such a positive experience with Toad Hall Day Nursery and its staff since my very first interactions. My daughter attends here and I will be sending my son this year. They have such an individualised approach to their care, the staff make you feel that nothing is too much time or trouble for
them. I've never felt worried about leaving my daughter here, knowing full well she's being cared for and at the same time having great experiences being provided to her that are nurturing her learning and growth!

Fantastic nursery that ensures the children are safe and happy at all times. They create amazing activities to help the children learn and have fun. Their inside and outside facilities are great, which was the main thing that made me choose this nursery. They understand the child's needs and how to
help them and their parents. Communication is good and as a parent, I feel listened to and respected. My son loves going to nursery here and runs in with a big smile on his face which says it all.

Such a great nursery for 1-year-olds as well as older children. My son has learnt so much whilst there and the staff are so supportive that he's settled in so gently and gradually. They put the children's happiness and safety as a top priority.

So glad I chose this nursery for my daughter who has ASD. They are always on hand to offer advice and have been a massive help in getting her the funding and plans in place for her care while with them and for when she starts primary later this year. I have friends in the same situation at other nurseries
and they haven’t had half as much help. I know they are always doing what’s in her best interest and you can tell they actually care and she’s not just another number! We‘ve had such a great experience I’ve put in my son a lot earlier than planned, as I know he will be well looked after while I’m at work and enjoy his time there as much as his sister does.

All three of my children have gone to this nursery over a 10-year period. During this time we moved to the next town but I kept the children in this nursery as it is brilliant and absolutely worth the drive. All of my children have been very happy here and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Very happy with this nursery, both of my children attend and have no issues with recommending it to others. Outside space is amazing and play-based learning is brilliant - both my children have come on leaps and bounds. All staff are very caring and understanding and are brilliant with the children.

I applied to this nursery for my daughter after reading a great Offsted report, and it didn’t disappoint. My daughter loved Toad Hall, the staff are all great, and we’re brilliant at helping my daughter settle in; the outside facilities are great, and the nursery is very organised and responsive. I
will definitely be sending my youngest here when she is ready. Thank you, Toad Hall!

My youngest son has just started at Toad Hall and my eldest son was at Toad Hall for three years before starting school in September.
We couldn’t ask for a kinder, more supportive team, who all have the best interests of our children at heart.
Both of my sons love it there and most importantly I
feel reassured that they are safe and happy in the setting, I couldn’t recommend them enough.

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.
