    I can’t recommend this nursery highly enough, my son absolutely loves it. The nursery provides a great range of activities that meet his developmental needs and ever-growing curiosity. They celebrate a wide range of topics which promote learning and inclusivity. The nursery environment is very welcoming and safe with excellent facilities, the outside play area is excellent with a wide range of outdoor toys. They offer a healthy well-balanced food menu, my son will literally eat anything! Aside from all the above, the best thing about the nursery is the staff, they are just great and genuinely care about the children. From the first time I visited the nursery, I knew this was the place for my son and have always felt absolutely confident that he is receiving the best care.

    We came to view Toad Hall on a recommendation from a friend who has a child there. As we are first-time parents, there were a lot of nerves and questions from our side. The staff were excellent in answering all our questions and providing the information we needed to give us reassurance. My son absolutely loves it there. He is a very busy child and is provided with an amazing range of activities that meet all his needs and encourages learning. The staff are absolutely amazing and show a genuine passion for what they do. They have created a very safe environment for our little ones. The rooms are well equipped with a wide variety of toys and the outside play spaces are any child’s dream. Meals and snacks are healthy, well-balanced and cater for my picky eater.

    Very happy with Toad Hall Chessington, all lovely people and my little girl loves going there. She’s always talking about her favourite nursery person and excited to see her in the morning. When I pick her up, she’s very happy and eager to show me what she has been doing for the day. Since she started around a year ago, I can see a significant development improvement. Felt at ease with the nursery as soon as I walked in there and dropped her off on the first day.

    Our son is in the Butterflies room and we are really pleased with the care he has received. His learning is going from strength to strength, especially his speech which the teachers have been encouraging. He is always smiling when we pick him up, showing his joy in being there. A special mention for one member of staff who has been brilliant with our son and has helped with his separation anxiety when dropping him off.

    Wonderful nursery in every way! The staff are all brilliant with my daughter and have formed a real connection with her. I have seen a massive change in my daughter, in every aspect of her development. Her language and communication skills, relationships with other children and general behaviour. Staff exude professionalism, kindness and patience. Building and rooms are always clean and bright. Lots of educational toys which are updated. The food is wonderful with a varied menu. All freshly cooked on-site. I could not have wished for a better place for my daughter to go to nursery. Would thoroughly recommend Toad Hall Chessington to anyone who is looking at where to place their child.

    Since my son has joined Toad Hall this year, he has gained in confidence and is coming along so much. He loves going to nursery each day. The staff are helpful and friendly and always go the extra mile to help the children.

    Toad Hall Chessington is a phenomenal nursery. I cannot speak highly enough of them. We visited all of the nurseries in our area trying to find one that ticked all of our boxes until we found Toad Hall (all day access to outside space, smaller class sizes, forest school etc.)
    My son started here at 2 years old after being a covid baby and never attending nursery. The staff here were kind and patient and really allowed him to settle in. He loved going every day and would run straight into class. His speech and vocabulary exploded.
    Sadly, my son fell very unwell earlier this year. The nursery staff were incredible with the support and kindness they offered our family. Our son eventually returned to nursery, but this time with complex additional needs. The staff worked tirelessly to ensure they could meet his new needs. They have attended courses to learn more and even the specialists have commented on how amazing they’ve been. My son loves Toad Hall and his support has been incredible.

    My son has attended Toad Hall since 2021 and has come in leaps and is growing in confidence each day. The nursery is always clean, and the staff are always happy and welcoming. I am very happy with the service the nursery is providing us as a family.

    From the moment I walked into the nursery all staff and management have been welcoming and friendly. My daughter has flourished and is learning so much each day. She is always so excited to start the day and it really fills me and my husband with so much reassurance to know how happy and cared for she is every day. I couldn’t be more grateful.

    Since my son has joined Toad Hall he has come a long way and grown in confidence. He has made a great attachment to the staff in the room and friendships with the children. I would definitely recommend this nursery, they are always friendly and happy.

    Absolutely wonderful staff who go above and beyond! I would recommend this nursery to all. They take care of the children and nurture their needs 100% of the time. Thank you all at Toad Hall Nursery.

    I am very pleased with the nursery we choose for our son. The staff are very friendly and attentive, they helped a lot to adapt when my son first started attending the nursery and was upset because of the separation from his mother. The staff helped to ease this period easily and quickly.
    Now my son happily runs to the nursery and urges us parents to get ready faster. I really appreciate the individual approach and attention paid to each child. My son became more independent, began to eat better and communicate more confidently with other children and adults.

    All three of my children have started their early learning years at Toad Hall and the staff have been unbelievable throughout. My youngest is in her first class at Toad Hall and every time I pick her up I am always greeted with a happy smiley face.
    Thank you, Toad Hall.

    There is so much to say about Toad Hall Nursery Chessington but I’ll keep this short. My daughter is due to start pre school soon and up to date not a single complaint to make. The staff are what makes Toad Hall special, my daughter is always keen to go back to nursery and every so often she surprises us with new skills and language which is also developed from nursery. The staff are very kind and helpful. I would highly recommend them.

    My second child attends this nursery. The staff are lovely, always caring for each child individually. They have lots of amazing and very creative ideas for entertainment, making every day a fun environment to go to which is very important. Also, I really like the fact they prepare food for kids in the nursery, my daughter loves eating there and I know that she has a good, balanced diet.

    We feel so lucky to be able to send our daughter to Toad Hall Nursery Chessington when we moved to Chessington last summer. The Owls room staff have been so helpful and caring to her and there is not a single thing to complain about. Our daughter loves to go to nursery every day, play with her friends and show us what she learnt on the day. She has been so happy and confident there. There are so many activities to help the children learn and develop, I can’t say how much we appreciate all staff there, feel sad to leave in September this year for Reception.

    I’ve been coming to this nursery for six years and I can’t fault it. It’s a lovely nursery with dedicated rooms and separate gardens.
    It’s an old church so it has lovely high ceilings and is full of light. The rooms are spacious and there are dedicated toilets/baby changing areas away from the main playing space. All food is cooked on-site with great variety. They are constantly updating the nursery, reinvesting to make it great for the children. The best thing about the nursery is the staff. Nursery workers don’t get paid enough. The staff here really care for each child, you can see they love their job and they love the children. Both my kids have loved coming to nursery. They love seeing their keyworker and talk about them all the time. As a working mum, I know I’m leaving my children in the best hands, who will look after them, make them laugh and give them cuddles when they’re sad. They also teach them and I see the progress every day.
    Shout out to all the staff.

    Lovely and welcoming staff. The nursery has a cosy atmosphere. They have all been very patient with my little one who started nursery in January 2023. He has improved so much since. I highly recommend them.

    My son started in Butterflies in January 2023 and has gone from strength to strength. He absolutely loves being dropped off and the staff are so lovely with him. After some initial teething issues, I am now extremely happy he is settled in and well looked after. He is learning so many new skills and I’m sure this is down to being encouraged every day by the staff at Toad Hall – in particular his key worker. I now feel happy dropping him off knowing he’s going to have a great day and learn lots of new skills whilst having the best time

    My boy has been at Toad Hall Nursery since he was 13 months old and we have nothing but good things to say about the nursery and staff. Our son has a tendency to be shy and nervous, but socialising with other kids at Toad Hall has really built his confidence. Everyone is so kind and patient with him, all the staff know him and us, and he is always well fed and happy when we pick him up at the end of the day. We worried so much about sending him to a nursery, but Toad Hall in Chessington has been so good for him and he’s clearly fond of the staff and other children there. They play in the garden when possible and do lots of singing and dancing, sensory and craft activities.
    The nursery is always clean and tidy, staff are friendly and professional, and most importantly the kids in all the classrooms seem like they’re having a really nice time. Classrooms and gardens are segregated by age and this works really well, as there’s no danger of little kids being knocked over by older children.
