I have nothing but positive things to say about this nursery and their amazing staff. My son first joined in December of last year and took a very long time to settle which was very difficult. The staff were nothing but patient and incredibly supportive to us as parents and my son during this period-
including holding additional meetings with us to explore creative solutions as to how to help my son settle and being honest about how things were going. I am pleased to say that my son is now fully settled and absolutely loves attending nursery- he is almost like a completely different child and is thriving. The staff really take time to get to know the children they work with which is lovely to see and really makes a difference. Thank you to all of the staff for your continued hard work- I am so grateful.

Winnersh Nursery has done nothing but amazing things for my little one. She has not only grown into a confident young person but she is so happy to get more involved in learning, activities and being who she wants to be. The staff have been so supportive in helping with toilet training to just getting
her to open up about how she's feeling and actually communicate with others. It is such a nurturing environment with excellent facilities.

My daughter came in mid-year and we needed a nursery, Toad Hall was not only available but was very accommodating. The staff made all efforts to make her feel welcome and happy. She always went in with a smile and came out happy.

Both my children have attended Toad Hall and have thrived. During their time here the staff have been very accommodating with any requests I have had. The staff are friendly, caring and loving and have always made myself and my children welcome. My youngest will be joining in September. I can not wait
to watch him thrive like my other two at Toad Hall.

My son has additional needs and the nursery has been amazing in supporting him. All the staff are so lovely. Massive shoutout to the manager who goes above and beyond for the children and pushes to get whatever the child may need. Thanks to the help of the nursery my son has everything in place ready
for him to transition into school in September which I'm so grateful for.

Ever since my daughter has been in the nursery she has made a bond and she is happy and always looking forward to coming in. Her personality and learning have developed month in and month out. She has more confidence and is comfortable. The nursery is very lovely and secure. Safe and sound.

From the first viewing, I knew this would be a great nursery for our son. All the staff in owls are fantastic, and in the three months he has been at the nursery, his speech has come a long way. He is always so happy and excited to come in, and we could not have chosen a better nursery for him.
Thank
you to all of the staff at Toad Hall for your hard work and for providing a home-from-home. I am beyond impressed with all you do and everything he learns.

From our initial visit to the nursery where we were shown around the facility, through to today (our daughter has now been present for four months) we have nothing but positive comments and praise to bestow on all staff members at Toad Hall. Our daughter's keyworker, in particular, has built and developed
a wonderful relationship with our daughter and this is clearly apparent. Her face lights up whenever her keyworker is there to greet her. Special thanks, also to another member of staff, again always a kind and smiley face. The facilities are always spotless and we look forward to watching our daughter develop under your care and guidance.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.643)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.643) out of 10 for Toad Hall Nursery - The Willows, Winnersh is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.671 for Toad Hall Nursery - The Willows, Winnersh is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.671

  • 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 4.972 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Toad Hall Nursery - The Willows, Winnersh is based on 14 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.972

  • 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.
