My wife and I have nothing but praise for Toad Hall Nursery. The staff are so incredibly welcoming, everyone always has a smile and they have helped our child settle in well there. The nursery is always very clean, and it feels safe and secure, which is what any parent would want. The daily routine
is always explained nicely upon pickup, and the food menus are brilliant and provide a great variety for our child to eat.


We would thoroughly recommend this nursery to others and are thankful to all of the staff there for doing such a brilliant job.


Reply from Kerry Webb, Manager at Toad Hall Nursery Horley

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our nursery. We are happy to hear that you and your little one has settled so well into nursery. Our chefs throughout the company work hard on the menus to make sure they are nutritionally balanced and adaptable for all.

Given my children were only at Toad Hall for a few months, the staff have been so welcoming and my girls have thoroughly enjoyed their time. It’s very telling when you drop your child off and pick them up from a childcare setting whether or not it’s a place that has the children’s best interests at
heart. Both my children have always been excited about going to Toad Hall and often took me or their dad some time to get them to come home at the end of the day. That speaks volumes and my only regret is that I didn’t enrol them here earlier. I am very thankful to all the staff for their hard work and commitment which often goes unnoticed and I know my girls will have lots of fond memories from Toad Hall so thank you!

My daughter has been going to Toad Hall Nursery for the past few months and she absolutely loves it. The staff have been amazing! As my daughter has separation anxiety the staff at Toad Hall have been nurturing, warm and loving to help her transition from a part-timer to now a full-timer. The staff
are always reassuring, very informative and I know I’ve always got a member of staff to talk to on hand whenever I need. The food is by far the best! Home-cooked meals which are planned on a rotation rota depending on the season so the little ones never get bored as there’s such a fantastic array of meals. My little one eats so well and I’m always informed at the end of each day how much she ate, whether she had any new foods and how she got on with them. Toad Hall host some lovely events like Halloween, Christmas and Valentine's tea parties which are a wonderful way to bond and see your child in their nursery setting. I can't fault Toad Hall and what they do for us. Thank you so much for everything!

Reply from Leila Parrott, Manager at Toad Hall Nursery Horley

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review.
We have so enjoyed seeing your little one flourish and thrive with us over the last few months.
We are very proud of our menus and accreditations with Soil Association, Action for Children and Early Start Nutrition, ensuring the varied meals we offer are nutritionally balanced as well as super tasty! It is great to hear you love these too!
We'll look forward to seeing you at the next stay-and-play session, Mother's Day tea is coming up next.

The Toad Hall Nursery Horley staff have been so attentive with our daughter who initially struggled to settle into a new nursery environment following our move to Horley a few months ago. Now she loves the nursery so much and her friends, in fact it's hard to get her to leave nursery at home time! The
staff are so friendly and we love the communication and themed events arranged where we can also mingle with other parents. I'm also impressed by the cleanliness, overall care, and range of indoor and outdoor activities for the children. Definitely recommend!

Reply from Leila Parrott, Manager at Toad Hall Nursery Horley

Thank you, this is so lovely to read.
Between the very important task of maintaining cleanliness and everyday care, the team here pride themselves in providing a range of learning opportunities indoors and out. We also love our stay-and-play events where you can come along and join in the fun we have on a daily basis with the children! I am glad you enjoy these too!

The absolute best nursery I could have chosen for my daughter. She has bonded beautifully with her preschool 'teacher' who has been so wonderful with her and my daughter is so excited for nursery 'school' every day. She has had no anxiety about being left with new people and that is unlike her. It just
shows how beautifully run and caring the team there are that she's so at ease. I can be quite anxious about leaving her but not with her keyworker and the team. They spare no expense for their families and children and it is worth every penny. The children have their water bottles provided for them, their meals, suncream, nappies (if needed) all the stuff I usually forget to bring places. It just lifts some of the stress off us, as parents. They keep us well updated on what's going on. And have lots of events/activities/themes going on. The nursery is smoothly run and just fantastic. Very happy.

My little one has been at Toad Hall, Horley from baby room right through to preschool and I have been so impressed with all the staff and the level of care they have given her. She has loved her nursery experience and I am sure that is because the staff at Toad Hall go above and beyond to give the children
exactly what they need. I will be sorry when she leaves for school in September but at least she has formed close bonds which has given her the foundations to progress. I can’t recommend Toad Hall highly enough and the level of care given to her and would have no hesitation in recommending the nursery to others mums

Great nursery, my daughter loves going there since September 2020, all staff very passionate, friendly and always helpful. I love all activities and facilities that the nursery has to offer, lovely, spacious rooms, gardens for each age group, sensory and art room. Also, it is a great location, away
from the busy road but walking distance from the train station. Freshly cooked meals and kitchen on-site and children are having the chance to explore healthy eating. I would recommend it to everyone who is looking for childcare in the Horley area!

My daughter has been attending Toad Hall Horley since October 2019 and she absolutely loves it! She always runs in, without looking back and is always so happy when I go and pick her up at the end of the day. She has just moved up to Owls (Pre-school as she calls it 1000 times a day) and doesn't stop
asking to go and be with her friends. The ladies are wonderful and really make you feel at ease. I've never had one worry about leaving my child with them. I can't rate the nursery enough!

So impressed with this nursery, all of the staff are kind and genuinely caring. The utmost effort has gone into trying to keep the nursery rooms open where possible, amending policies so our children have a safe environment to stay in. The atmosphere is bright and enthusiastic, even when trying to navigate
the pressures of challenges we’ve seen over the past year, due to the pandemic. I’d definitely recommend it.

My daughter has been in full-time nursery at Toad Hall since she was 6 months old and she is now 3-years-old. The staff have helped me with every step of the way and I have always had confidence in them. The staff and management are open, friendly and approachable. If there are any concerns or questions,
everything is resolved in a timely manner and followed up. My daughter is happy to go and that smile says it all.

My little boy has been going to Toad Hall for the past 2.5 years and he absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing, welcoming, friendly and the children just seem to love them. The food is amazing, yummy home-cooked menu by the chef and my little one eats so well there (even though he doesn’t always
at home!) The nursery always put on lovely events like Christmas and Halloween which are lovely times to chat to the staff, see the setting and see the children in their setting (whilst raising money for charity too!) The assistant manager and SENCO has been amazing throughout my little one's time there. I remember her showing me around when I was heavily pregnant and I just fell in love with the nursery and she happily answered all of my many questions! She has continually been extremely helpful and supportive in my son's speech delay and referral and setting up the sensory room at nursery too. When she opens the door in the morning, my little one gets so excited- it really is lovely to see.

Our children started with Toad Hall, Massetts Road in January 2021. Neither had been in a nursery setting and after the first year of the pandemic, I was naturally anxious about how they'd settle in. I needn't have been worried. The team at Toad Hall have been supportive and nurturing. The children
settled in seamlessly and have become more confident. Toad Hall provides an exciting, playful and inviting learning environment for all children and also equally support parents too. Their on-site kitchen provides tasty and nutritious meals which mean that we don't have to worry about the children's diet either. Overall, Toad Hall are a lifesaver for parents looking for a high-quality learning environment for their children.

All of my children have attended this nursery. My now 5-year-old loved it so much! He looked forward to going to see his key worker!
My 3 and 2-year-old now go here. I live in Oxted and travel all the way here because I wouldn’t be happy with anywhere other than here! They are always so happy to communicate
and understanding. My children always come out happy; they have amazing facilities for the children! I have never had a bad word to say about Toad Hall!
My son also was learning languages here! It’s very reassuring that at such a young age they can play and learn, and it’s not all play! My 2-year-old has a dummy in his mouth at home and won’t let me take it, at Toad Hall, they manage to take it off him all day, and his speech is actually coming along!
Thank you so much for adding all the fun and learning to my children’s childhood that you have and you do! Also, breakfast lunch and dinner provided if you do a full day.

Good service provider and they look after the kid well. They have friendly staff who are always hands on anytime you have questions or concerns. All they need improvements on is their timing when parents are outside to pick up or drop off kids, apart from that they are excellent.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.402)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.402) out of 10 for Toad Hall Nursery Horley 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.833 for Toad Hall Nursery Horley is calculated as follows: ( (40 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 3.569 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Toad Hall Nursery Horley is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 103 number of registered child places is 20.6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.6 = 0.194

  • 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2004

Hello, I'm Kerry, the proud Manager of Horley. With over 25 years of experience in Early Years education, my journey with Toad Hall began in 2004, when they first opened their doors!

Embarking as an Apprentice, I've navigated through diverse roles, ultimately reaching my current leadership position. Along this path, I've garnered a wealth of knowledge and practical insights, fostering environments where children not only participate but flourish. My academic foundation includes a Foundation Degree in Early Years.

My commitment extends to children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). I've attained a Level 5 qualification in SEND and earned recognition as a finalist at the prestigious NMT awards for two consecutive years for my contributions in this area.

My passion lies in supporting both children and families within our community, while also serving as a mentor and advocate for our dedicated staff. I believe in forging strong partnerships with parents, inviting them to share in their child's journey, and fostering a sense of belonging within the Toad Hall family.
