We have two children in the nursery and have been with Toddletown for over 3 years. The staff are amazing and so attentive to the children's needs, they know them well and engage in their interests and milestones continuously. Toddletown are brilliant at recognising how our children are feeling, they
are great at talking and preparing activities around how children are developing & noticing when extra attention or care may be needed. This has given our eldest in preschool confidence & her communication skills are brilliant, the team know the children so well and make it very engaging. She has also made wonderful friendships at TT. Our youngest is in the baby room and he has settled extremely quickly. He loves going to nursery and the baby team are a dream, they notice and encourage them in their interests and to develop independence, which I'm sure will continue once he moves to toddlers! The children are well fed, they have lovely days and we only have positive things to say about TT!

Thank you so much for your review, we are glad that we are able to provide the foundations of resilience and self regulation to your daughter, who has become so confident not only in her own abilities and understanding but those around her. Your little one is also so happy and confident thriving within the secure environment of our baby room.

Our daughter has settled in so well at Toddletown, and it really is such a wonderful setting. The team are all wonderful; our daughter's keyperson is kind, patient, and caring. The entire team though really are fab, I can't fault them and you can see how much they care about the children, and their
roles at Toddletown. We are so pleased we chose this setting for our little one.

Our son joined the Toddletown family in July 2024, having had a slightly challenging experience at a different nursery we were blown away by how nurturing, supportive, positive and caring all the staff are at the nursery. I love how dedicated the staff are to every task or activity they plan each day
and everyone, even those in other rooms, all know our sons name at drop off in the morning, he walks in so excited and with a big smile on his face. The development we've seen in our son over the last few months is all credit to the great team!

Reply from Karen Fish, Manager at Toddletown Day Nursery Godalming

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We were so glad that we could offer a space to your Son and that he is thriving, independent and developing in confidence. We can't wait to see where his Toddletown Journey goes.

Our son started at Toddletown Day Nursery Godalming at the beginning of January when he was 9 months old. I was quite nervous about it but it has been absolutely brilliant. The staff go out of their way to get to know the children, and he is already so comfortable with them. We have been so impressed
with the range of activities, and the communication throughout the day. It is such a nurturing place and we could not recommend it more!

Reply from Karen Fish, Manager at Toddletown Day Nursery Godalming

We have loved watching how much your son has settled since joining us this year. It has been a great journey already and we cant wait to see him grow some more. Thank you for your lovely words.

Toddletown is such a wonderful nursery with a welcoming, caring and dedicated team who truly care about each and every child. They go above and beyond to create an environment which supports and encourages the children's learning and development. It is clear that when we drop our son off in the mornings,
he is happy to be at nursery, and by pick-up time, it's obvious that he has had fun and enjoyed his day. I would highly recommend Toddletown to anyone looking for a reliable, supportive and encouraging nursery!

Reply from Karen Fish, Manager at Toddletown Day Nursery Godalming

We are delighted that you chose Toddletown for your little one and that he enjoys his days with us! We can't wait to share more fun and adventures when he picks up his additional day soon.

A remarkable child centered learning environment full of dedicated and kind practitioners committed to creating challenging sensory rich experiences that support confidence and individualised growth. We have felt so supported as a family by Toddletown Day Nursery Godalming, who have gone above and beyond
at every turn to consider out beliefs and hopes for our child's care. They offer a hugely inclusive space, rooted in open and friendly dialog. It is so comforting knowing that out child is not only safe but enjoying a hugely enriching range of experiences. Toddletown has truly became like a home away from home and we can't recommend them highly enough.

Toddletown is absolutely brilliant. Even though drop off can sometimes be a bit tough for us, the staff are quick to communicate about how my child has settled and they are reassuring. The crafts and activities that they do with the children are outstanding. I'm so grateful to the team - They do exactly
what I would do with my child at home and so much more! We can't thank you enough.

Our daughter has had a wonderful experience at Toddletown Day Nursery. We have seen the positive impact that staff and setting have had across the board, language, motor skills etc. The support we've had as she has started her toilet training has been amazing!
We can't thank or recommend them enough.

We've been a 'Toddletown family' since they opened at the beginning of 2020, with both of our children attending until they were ready for school. We could not be happier with the care and education they have received from the fantastic staff in this setting. It's been a brilliant place for them to
make friends, explore the world around them and learn skills for life. There's always something new going on (I'm continually impressed by the range of activities the staff come up with and organise!) and the kids have always come home buzzing about their day and eager to go back. The staff are a really caring and (crucially) approachable team, who have always been happy to help, advise and support us through the sometimes bumpy process of raising preschoolers. We're sad to be leaving, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to local families. It's been wonderful.

Our little girl started at 12 months and we are so relieved with how quickly she has settled in, and that is a testament to the staff and nursery. She was very shy when she started nursery and within a few weeks of attending you could see her confidence growing. She walks into the nursery every morning
and doesn’t even look back, she absolutely loves it. The daily updates and photos are brilliant. Being able to look in on the app to see how she is eating and sleeping really made leaving her much easier. Toddletown is just wonderful!

Lovely, family-run nursery. My son has been there for over a year now and continues to enjoy the days he spends there. The staff is lovely and doesn't rotate almost at all, which I'd think is a sign that it's very well run.
Very good communication on my son's progress or any issues.
He loves the
food there, and always eats all of it or even has an extra portion.
I would love to see a certain member of staff who usually is there on Tuesdays come on some other days as well, so kids who aren't there on Tuesdays also get to meet her!
Thank you for everything to the lovely Toddletown team!

Our son has been at Toddletown since I went back to work when he was one. He's now approaching two and has spent the most wonderful year at the nursery. The facilities are lovely, and I am always really impressed by the creative activities which are planned for the children, but the best thing about
Toddletown is the team. They are a genuinely wonderful group of individuals who provide consistent, caring support for all the little ones they look after. I can't imagine my child going anywhere else - as a first-time mum, Toddletown has given me the confidence to go back to work and feel really positive about the childcare I have chosen. A huge thank you to all the team and the management!

My daughter joined Toddletown back in August 2022 in the Baby Room and has since moved to the Toddler Room. I’ve had a positive experience in both rooms. All the staff are warm and welcoming and really go the extra mile to support your child. They care so much about their emotional development ensuring
they are growing into strong, independent, resilient children.

Toddletown is a special and amazing place. Our daughter has been in the Toddler room and now in preschool and has always been supported through every day, as have we. Nothing is ever too big or too small for the Toddletown team and there is a real sense of family amongst the team there, which is great
to see.
Our daughter loves going there and they take so much time to set up learning, activities, and just as important down time as well, they will be guided by the child and we have had an amazing experience in the 2.5 years she has been going there. She has learnt so much and developed so well, we are very grateful for the safe, educating space she is in when she goes there.

Reply from Lily Martin, Deputy Manager at Toddletown Day Nursery Godalming

Thank you so much for such lovely words. We’re proud of having such a wonderful team and you're right, nothing is ever too much for them. It’s been wonderful watching your child grow in her time with us.

My two children attend Toddletown Day Nursery and we have had such an amazing experience. Our daughter has attended since 2020 and our son since last year. They’ve both loved every day and formed such special relationships with the staff. Each room has helped shaped them into the wonderful people they
are becoming and nurtured their developing skills and personalities with kindness, care, and love. Toddletown has supported our family through some really challenging times and knowing our children are happy and cared for has made an immeasurable difference to our family life.
The facilities are lovely and activities like molly moo cow and play ball are often the highlight of the day for our children.

Reply from Lily Martin, Deputy Manager at Toddletown Day Nursery Godalming

Thank you so much for the lovely words regarding both your children's time at Toddletown. It’s been wonderful seeing both your children grow so much and we’re always there for our families too. All the children love Playball and Molly Moo Cow so we’re glad you feel they are beneficial to your children’s development.

My son has been at Toddletown Day Nursery since January 2021 and he has simply thrived there. He is nurtured, challenged and cared for. Our son goes to nursery 5 days a week, and we wanted a nursery that would instil the right values and help nurture him into a bright and caring boy - which is exactly
what Toddletown does. The staff sincerely care about the children and the feedback we get daily is detailed and personalised. The Nursery is so well run - and as it is small, the children know all the practitioners in other rooms, making transitions very simple.
I can't recommend Toddletown highly enough. We love it.

Toddletown Day Nursery is a truly special nursery with managers and staff who genuinely love what they do and adore the children. We get thoughtful updates that show they know our daughter's personality and what she likes to do. Our toddler adores her key worker and it is such a wonderful feeling to
know she's in a caring and nurturing place when I have to work.

Toddletown Nursery is a happy and nurturing space in which we feel confident our two children can thrive. The team have taken great care to get to know our daughter very well meaning they can instinctively respond to her likes and needs. We receive updates on her progress and activities that demonstrate
what a wonderful experience she has while she's at nursery. Feel very lucky to have both children enrolled in such a fantastic nursery nearby.

Reply from Amanda Covey, Area Manager at Toddletown Day Nursery Godalming

Thank you for your kind words, it means so much. We are glad the app is working well and allows parents to be reassured during the day and to share in the children's fun at the end of the day with our end-of-day posts.

My son has been at Toddletown for 18 months now and is very happy there. The nursery offers a caring and nurturing environment in which the children can explore new skills through play. The team are exceptionally hard working; they have supported him through his developmental milestones and the result
is that we've seen his learning come on in leaps and bounds. The nursery uses an app to log meals, toilet visits and sleep, meaning we feel informed about what our son has been up to during the day. It is easy to communicate with the team via the app too; any issues we have raised with them have been swiftly addressed, so we feel confident that our son is being well looked after.
The nursery is quite small and given their long waiting list, could probably double in size and still not have enough places. The outdoor space is also quite restrictive, but they do their best to use this space effectively.

Reply from Karen Fish, Manager at Toddletown Day Nursery Godalming

Thank you for your review, we are very pleased that your son is very happy at Toddletown. We do currently have a long waiting list and we put that down to the care from our staff members and the excellent word of mouth from our families who support us.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.930)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.930) out of 10 for Toddletown Day Nursery Godalming 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.930 for Toddletown Day Nursery Godalming is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.93

  • 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 Toddletown Day Nursery Godalming is based on 18 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 54 number of registered child places is 10.8, which has been reached with 18 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2019

I have worked in the early year sector since gaining my qualification 16 years ago and beginning my career in a local nursery. I wanted to see a little bit more of the world, so took off to explore some of Europe while working for the holiday company Mark Warner.

Having worked several seasons in Greece and finally, in Egypt, I met my husband and welcomed my first son. With my son starting school I joined another local nursery and progressed to Room Leader.

I love that in my job, no day is the same; one day you could be an explorer in the Amazon jungle, and the next you could be covered in gloop investigating the world of letters and numbers.
