Our daughter has been attending since October 2023 and we cannot fault it. She has transitioned so well into nursery, having the most fun. We get lovely pictures of her enjoying all the great learning activities and arts and crafts. She also has lots of outdoor fun and games. She is due to be going
up to the next room next month and already they are getting her ready to move, giving her taster sessions there before she moves permanently. The team in her room 'know' her, just as well as we do and I feel super confident leaving her in their care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery, we chose it on the back of recommendations and now I can see why they did. She is thriving and it's in part down to the amazing little team in Hedgehogs!

Our (nearly) 2-year-old daughter is loving nursery. She gets so excited to get out of the car and start her day at Toad Hall Nursery. She’s super confident and chatty. We really believe this is because of Toad Hall and the environment in which they create - to be themselves and to play, have fun and
learn. The staff in Butterflies are so caring and I can’t thank the manager and all the team enough (especially those behind the scenes, like the cooks and cleaners) for all they do. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

I can not fault this setting. An outstanding nursery with a vast amount of resources for the children and on top of that, impeccable, friendly, welcoming staff. My daughter (17 months) struggled with the transition into nursery, the girls in her room worked with me every step of the way to ensure she
settled in well and now she is thriving. I can not thank the staff enough, nothing is ever too much for them.

Great nursery, both children have loved it. However, I am very concerned the fire alarm has remained faulty for a very long time. This is a legal obligation to have this functioning to protect the occupants and this is a high-risk operation. Please can someone do something about resolving the fire alarm?

My son has just started in January and I couldn't thank the staff enough. He has settled amazingly and is so happy coming in in the mornings. My eldest is in Little Toads and loves it. He always comes home with a smith on his face. He has such great bonds with all the teachers and loves telling me about
his day.

Toad Hall Nursery Haslemere is a great nursery. All the staff are very friendly and we are very confident our son is well looked after. Our son is always very excited to go to nursery and he never cries during drop-off. We are well informed of what he's done, eaten and anything we need to know about.

Toad Hall is a welcoming and friendly environment, the staff our lovely and always go out of their way to make the children enjoy their time at nursery. I pick up my granddaughter every Wednesday and she always comes out happy and ready to talk about her day. The nursery staff in her room are always
helpful and make sure they tell me how she’s been. It’s a lovely atmosphere and the children always appear to be happy.

Since our daughter has attended Toad Hall Nursery we have only ever felt lucky. The facilities are brilliant, there is so much on offer to keep our child inspired to learn and do. All the staff have made such an effort to forge such strong bonds with our daughter and the other children in her rooms
throughout the years, that we will be sorry when this part of her journey has to end. They are always so kind and professional. We always feel included and aware of everything that our daughter has done during their time in the setting. We have seen our daughter's confidence grow and learn to overcome and deal with the challenges that life can bring for a small person learning about the world. She is so excited about going to school next year and this is all down to how well the nursery has helped to prepare her and us, for such a big change. We recommend Toad Hall to everyone we meet and hope that staff realise just how much they are valued by the families that leave their children in their care.

After Covid-19, our previous Nursery didn't have space for my children, so we were forced to look for a new setting. We viewed a few options, but our mind was made up when we met the team. The facilities, cleanliness and staff approach are all excellent. My daughter joined at age three and a half, for
just over a year until she recently moved to Reception. She settled really quickly and made lots of friends. The team's support and learning helped her to be super ready for starting school and the transition has been almost seamless, due to their preparation and teaching. My son was one, the room leader was amazing and with her team, they very quickly settled him into his new environment. Born in Covid-19, he hadn't spent much time away from us and now I was returning to work, very reassuring for both of us. He now runs into his room every day. His speech and development are amazing and I am confident it is because of his carers and their support. Even if our old, closer nursery had space, we wouldn't leave Toad Hall.

The staff at Toad Hall really care about the children they look after. My daughters settled in well and have enjoyed the variety of activities and equipment on offer. The food is also good quality and cooked on-site. The teachers do a great job encouraging independence and preparing the preschoolers
for their next stage.

Our daughter has attended Toad Hall Nursery in Hazelmere since she was eleven months old and we have been so happy with our decision to send her there. The staff are all fantastic and so dedicated, hardworking, attentive, caring, friendly and professional, and she has formed very special bonds with
her key workers from every age group room. The setting is wonderful, such a beautiful building and a lovely environment inside. The facilities, outdoor spaces and selection of toys are all excellent and a lot of effort goes into extra activities and experiences for the children. More recently in the preschool class, the focus has shifted to school readiness and learning, which is really helping her develop and grow in confidence. I highly recommend this nursery and I know it has given our daughter a fantastic start in life. Thank you so much to all the staff for everything you do!

We are so happy with Toad Hall. Our son started in November and is doing so well. We made the decision to hold out for a space to become available as no other nursery compared to Toad Hall, and we were thrilled when we were offered a place. It has certainly made the transition of going back to work
a lot easier knowing he is somewhere that we loved. From the minute we arrived to view it, it just felt right. All of the staff were so friendly and answered all of the questions that we had. The staff are amazing, so nurturing and I love when I arrive and can see my little boy having a cuddle or playing nicely. The nursery in itself is beautiful, it has everything. My little boy loves soft play! When we collect, handover is always excellent and we get the rundown of the day, how he's eaten etc. We're so reassured that our son is in the safest hands during the crucial early years, and the development we have seen since he started is amazing. A huge thank you.

We have been thrilled with our decision to send our daughter to Toad Hall Nursery in Haslemere. From the moment we looked around we were hooked and we haven't been disappointed since! Our daughter absolutely loves her time in the nursery and always enters with such enthusiasm. She has built some really
good bonds with staff throughout her time in three different rooms (so far) and made some great friends too. All staff are always so friendly, helpful and attentive and her development and growing independence has been lovely to see. The nursery setting is wonderful. So clean, fresh, relaxed and varied and we have always felt so at ease. Food is varied, healthy and (sounds) delicious. I cannot recommend Toad Hall enough! We feel very reassured that our daughter is getting the very best care in these really previous early years and we couldn't be more grateful.

Toadhall provides the most fantastic environment for our children. They have so much fun learning through play and we could not be happier with the care provided for them. Our children are not fussy eaters and that is due to the excellent cuisine provided. I'd recommend Toadhall to any parent looking
for the best place for their children.

We could not be happier with Toad Hall Nursery Haslemere. The staff are caring and attentive and have really taken the time to get to know our son - he has great relationships with multiple staff. The nursery building is lovely, with a great selection of toys and endless ideas for crafts and activities.
Outside, the gardens provide an array of things to do. We like seeing the social media updates, and handovers are always good. Food always sounds great, and somehow able to get our toddler to eat his vegetables. The learning journal is an adorable record of first events and achievements. Thank you to all the team! Our son is learning and developing brilliantly.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.769)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.769) out of 10 for Toad Hall Nursery Haslemere is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 5 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 4.917 for Toad Hall Nursery Haslemere is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 3.852 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Toad Hall Nursery Haslemere is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 71 number of registered child places is 14.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.2 = 0.352

  • 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.
