Toad hall have been great! I was very nervous leaving my almost 13 month old at nursery and it was an emotional start with lots of tears for both. But the team have been great, she goes in happily to nursery now and I know she's being so well looked after. Everyone in hedgehogs are so so lovely, one
staff member in particular is always helpful if I ask for any advice for my daughter and I appreciate her honesty. Since my daughter has been able to walk unaided and the weather has brightened up, she's spent a lot of time outside in the gardens which is amazing as that was definitely one of the main parts of the nursery that drew me to it! Would recommend Toad Hall to anyone looking for a safe and caring place to leave your child.

This nursery is an absolute game changer. The staff are all incredible, and fantastic at nurturing and developing my child's social and educational skills. Since joining Toadhall, my child has come on leaps and bounds and constantly surprises me and my wife every day.


As a whole, the nursery is

clean, a safe, accessible, and secure. They are great at keeping us parents up to date with our child's daily activities; from their development, eating and sleeping habits and creating friendships with other children.


My wife and I had spent many hours researching and visiting various nurseries. It wasn't until we stepped through the front door of Toadhall that we knew this was the one and where we wanted our child to be. I can't recommend this nursery enough.

Toad Hall has been great for my child. Staff are caring and create a nurturing environment where he is safe and happy. Activities are well organised, fostering creativity, learning and social skills.

Our child has been at Toad Hall 8 months now, the food is fantastic, the Chef makes a tremendous effort to create and offer healthy nutritious dishes that our child really loves. There are plenty of activities for children to do, our child loves the arts, crafts and outdoor play. Two staff members in
particular are always very supportive and offer feedback on the day as well as try and create a place of safety and security for your little one. The management are always there if you need to talk. Much appreciated for everything!

Today, August 27th 2024, was my daughter's last day at the wonderful Toad Hall and the team 100% deserve a super review. We moved close to the nursery in summer 2022 and attended an open day and were immediately impressed. There's a lovely feel inside and the outside space is great with plenty of room
to play and various areas to explore. The brilliant manager was extremely personable and knowledgeable and it didn't take us very long at all to decide to request a place for our 2.5-year-old. She started September 2022 and we've never looked back. All of the team are fun, caring, passionate and super dedicated. Days are filled with playtime, reading, show and tell and lots of other cool stuff. All food is cooked on-site and is nutritious, delicious, and varied. There's a number of special days during the year, e.g. Grandparents day, Summer picnic, graduation to school day, and this is above and beyond most other nurseries. An amazing 2 years. We couldn't have asked for more. Thanks!

Reply from Charlotte Belk, Nursery Manager at Toad Hall Nursery Woking

Thank you for your lovely review of our nursery, we are very proud of the events we do throughout the year for families to spend time in the nursery and build up a really positive partnership! We all hope your daughter enjoys the next step in her learning and education at school now!

My son has been at Toad Hall, Woking, for 6 months now and it's the most wonderful setting for him.
The range of activities, the quality of the meals and snacks, and how the staff conduct focus work with the children is second to none.
The room is totally appropriate for his age (he's in the youngest
room) and allows for safe, exploratory play.
All the staff and the manager are welcoming and easy to talk to, and you feel you can always approach them with any questions.
There are lots of opportunities to be involved with theme days, charity days, and events such as Mother's Day teas. Always lots going on!
Above all, my son loves it here. He goes in excited every day with a big smile on his face, and as a mum, that's the true test of a great nursery!

Our child loves going to nursery and is excited every time he goes in. He has made many friends and loves the staff, who are the heart and soul of the nursery. They all work so hard and we have seen our child grow and develop. They ensure that all major celebrations are observed and include interaction
with parents and grandparents. There is a really positive vibe when you enter the building. There is a great choice of activities for each child, both indoors and outdoors. The nursery manager does a tremendous job and we are immensely grateful to her and the team.

I’ve loved sending my children to this nursery. We chose it because the manager knew all the kids' names when we looked around back in 2020. That ethos has been carried out by every member of the team. The children are known and cared for as individuals. My kids have been happy here and now we’re moving
on to school having had a happy foundation here at Toad Hall.

I am pleased with the support and care offered to my son since November 2021 when he started here at Toad Hall. Amazing staff with great knowledge about Early Child Development. They have moulded him so well that he is a confident little boy now... Our colleagues in fact ask us 'Which nursery does he
attend?'. So confident and independent!
Well done and thank you very much...

My daughter has been attending Toad Hall Nursery Woking for two years now, following her older brothers, and I couldn't be happier with the experience they both had. Staff are very attentive to children's needs, caring and maintain great communication with parents. Children love(d) going there, clearly
preferring the nursery to her time with parents. Management are excellent and happy to tailor to parents' needs. Couldn't recommend Toad Hall enough.

We are so pleased with the all-round care received in the +6 months our child has attended Toad Hall, Woking.
The Management are very close to the children and classes. They are friendly and personable, but uphold the highest standards of care and running of the nursery. Very in the detail.
The teachers
in my child’s class (and across the nursery really) have taken the time and care to get to know my child and understand their needs. They keep us updated on development and stories from the day. You can see the bonds formed and relax knowing they are safe and in great care.
We love the varied and innovative activities in my child’s class and the way the nursery includes families in the learning - either to extend it or celebrate moments together.
My child has allergies but the menu is so varied and interesting, it definitely doesn’t impact them.
Having experienced other great childcare settings for my other children, this is definitely the best of them. We are so happy here.

Both my daughters attended Toad Hall in Goldsworth Park. The staff are caring and helpful and both girls have enjoyed being here. The environment is clean, safe and welcoming. The food is good and they eat well. The activities are stimulating and they learn from these the staff and their peers. Outside
and inside play with good equipment. They are very sensible around illness and when to inform parents, which I find very reassuring and helpful when I'm working. I would recommend it.

We have two children at Toad Hall and we love the nursery. Both have been really happy in their time here, made friends, made significant development progress and enjoy all the teachers, which ultimately is all a parent wants. Our eldest is due to leave shortly for school and we're sad she is leaving
Toad Hall but we're pleased it's not completely over whilst we still have our son there. It will be a sad day when Toad Hall is no longer in our life! The teachers and management are fabulous and I would (have) recommend them to any parents.

My son has just started here with us recently moving to the area. I was immediately impressed with the facilities on touring the nursery and hearing the details of meals, naptime and how they communicate with parents. Settling for my son went well, his room leader was comforting but confident in getting
me to leave him to it. Our son is settling well and the team are taking the time to update us on how he is settling in. I look forward to my other son starting in the baby room soon.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.459)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.459) out of 10 for Toad Hall Nursery Woking 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 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 4.909 for Toad Hall Nursery Woking is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.909

  • 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 4.55 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Toad Hall Nursery Woking is based on 12 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 109 number of registered child places is 21.8. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.8 = 0.55

  • 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.
