My daughter has just finished at Toad Hall after 3 years, and they have been absolutely fantastic from day 1! I could not recommend this nursery enough. The staff are amazing and genuinely care so much about every child. A very safe space in a beautiful setting, with great facilities. We will miss it a lot!
Read on GoogleIf you need a nursery for your precious little one, look no further. Absolute amazing! Staff is unbelievably friendly and flexible with individual arrangements that work best for parents. Our little soldier started at the age of 10 months and loved it from day one. So much so that he d even grab his bag even on weekends and urge us to take him in. A huge variety of activities indoors, coupled with the unrivaled open space in the backyard, means there s never a boring moment and he would always be absolutely exhausted when we go to pick him up in the afternoon. Foodwise, our 2-year-old is not the fussiest but he has refused to eat nursery food at other nurseries (when we were abroad). At Toad Hall he always has seconds!
Read on GoogleThe nursery is amazing and the staff team as well. Each room has a garden where children can play outside which I really liked when my little man started in 2017. They do a lot of activities throughout the day including the extra classes like music, French and sport - In2sports, which is my son's favourite. What I liked most, was that I didn't have to bring anything except the bag with spare clothes to change when needed throughout the day, didn't have to worry about anything else. We've been very lucky to have such an amazing experience here to get my son ready for school soon to start now. Thank you Toad Hall Woking for all your effort and patience with my son, he can be very stubborn sometimes :)
Read on GoogleMy son went to Toad Hall Nursery 4 years ago. He was my first (and only) child and I was working full time. Honestly couldn't fault them. Very secure and caring with superb facilities. I'm only reviewing at this late stage as my son has since had to change both preschools and schools due to bad experiences (and he's recently been diagnosed autistic at 5 years old), so now I've learned what a good environment is and I believe Toad Hall was definitely the best choice for my son when he was young.
Read on GoogleMy 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.
