Both our son and daughter have attended Christopher Robin Day Nursery - London Road (Guildford) and its been a great experience. The staff have supported us from being new parents dropping our baby off, all the way through every stage of development, with such care and gentle reassurance. Our children
have been very happy, made lasting friendships and have moved onto school perfectly prepared for the next chapter. Thank you so much.

My son and daughter attend in two separate classes and have the best of days. My daughter has just graduated to attend school in September 2023 and as a summer baby I was anxious about how she would settle but the team at the nursery have been so patient and kind, getting her so excited to start school.
They both have the best of days and the care from the staff is wonderful. I am constantly impressed. I will always refer people here. My most precious people are loved, encouraged, supported and kept safe.

I came to the parent stay and play.
My child was so happy I was there but loves piglets so much she went off and played, not worried that I was there too.
The staff are so friendly and nurturing and the toys and activities in the room are great.

We are so happy with Christopher Robin Day Nursery and have been from day one. All the staff are so lovely, the room's full of love and fun and all the children are clearly very happy. Our daughter is always smiling when she talks about nursery and the fun she's had during her day. I can't recommend
Christopher Robin enough and we'll be sad to say goodbye when our daughter goes to school.

My daughter attended from 1 year until 4 years and has had the most fantastic start in life because of it.
I can’t thank the staff enough from the bottom of my heart for all the fun, care, love, education and well-being.
My daughter has had a great experience and skipped in every single day. She
is now ready for school, super social and confident. Would thoroughly recommend.
I wish there was more garden but love that there is a park so close and that it’s such a town centre location.

We absolutely love Christopher Robin Day Nursery. Both our children have attended and we've been so happy with the love and care they have received whilst here.
My eldest has just started school and his social skills and emotional maturity is praised highly. The team at Christopher Robin were crucial
to this. They work so hard and do a fabulous job.

We moved our daughter here aged 2 as we didn't love our last nursery and remembered the manager's enthusiasm at Christopher Robin Day Nursery. We are so glad we made the swap and our daughter has just left and has had a great time. The care and support from staff have been amazing, they have experienced
a range of activities and she has learnt a lot. Thank you Christoper Robin Day Nursery for offering such a fab service at crucial early years for our daughter. We would 100% recommend.

Today my daughter started school. She went there as an independent, confident and happy young lady. But, as much as she inherited from me, I cannot deny the role of Christopher Robin Day Nursery's staff in her advancement and development. As a first-time mum who works full time, I needed a reliable,
caring and high-quality nursery and support. The staff and their approaches in educating and taking care of kids and their support were superb during these last three years, as I closely experienced. I highly recommended it.

I am so pleased that we chose Christopher Robin Day Nursery - London Road for our son to attend. From the first meeting until now, he has enjoyed every single second of being there. The two ladies that look after him are absolutely amazing. Since attending nursery he has gained so much in learning to
walk, talk and become the child he is today and I shall forever be grateful to the team involved.

I couldn't recommend Christopher Robin Day Nursery anymore, it is fantastic! The staff and manager are so lovely with the children and have been genuinely interested in my daughters well being and development. We have loved attending this nursery and will be very sad to leave.

Our daughter started at Christopher Robin Day Nursery in October and absolutely loves it there. We were slightly apprehensive sending her to nursery at 2.5 and worried she would really miss us but the staff at the nursery took care of her so well and within a couple of days, she was so settled and loving
her time there. It was so comforting to see how well she took to all of the staff and how nurturing they are. Our daughter has become so confident and every challenge she has had she has been able to overcome, including potty training and dealing with the birth of a new baby brother. I am overwhelmed with how helpful the nursery has been with these things and how flexible they are to each child's individual routine. Finally, our daughter is always coming home with lovely things she has made which has way surpassed our expectations! We are so happy we chose Christopher Robin.

All our children have attended Christopher Robin. We've also used other nurseries, both previous to starting here, and pre-Covid, concurrently, so have plenty to compare with. All our children have been immensely happy here and have thrived: becoming independent, curious and determined individuals.
We've been incredibly impressed with how well the nursery has coped with the various additional needs our children have had - from "basic" allergies/medication requirements to the complex needs of our youngest. Despite her particular circumstances, the nursery has welcomed her with open arms and dealt with the medical changes well. They implemented a virtual queuing app on reopening (well ahead of the supermarkets) ensuring social distancing, whilst minimising inconvenience to parents. It made a welcome change from other experiences. No nursery journey is free of hiccups. What has impressed me is how well the manager has handled problems when they've arisen, which is a real marker of a quality setting.

We have been extremely happy with Christopher Robin. Both our children attend the nursery and they look forward to the days they attend each week. We have been continuously impressed by the personal care and attention the children are given, as well as the genuine interest all the staff have shown in
them. They have formed special bonds with their teachers here and the activities are tailored to the children's interests as well as appropriate for their developmental goals. The caring, friendly, professional atmosphere has really helped to ease any anxieties about the kids returning to nursery after the initial 'lockdown' - we have felt confident in the care the children have received every step of the way. We would absolutely recommend this nursery to friends and family and we know our eldest will miss it greatly when she goes to school next year.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.826)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.826) out of 10 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - London Road (Guildford) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.826 for Christopher Robin Day Nursery - London Road (Guildford) is calculated as follows: ( (254 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.826

  • 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 Christopher Robin Day Nursery - London Road (Guildford) is based on 25 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 25 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.
