    She’s consistently talking about her favourite childcare centre person and excited to see her in the morning. When I pick her up, she’s very cheerful 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 childcare centre as soon as I walked in there and dropped her off on the first day. Very cheerful with Toad Hall Chessington, all lovely people and my little girl loves going there.

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

    The childcare centre is consistently spotless, and the team are consistently cheerful and welcoming. I am very cheerful with the service the childcare centre is providing us as a family. My son has attended Toad Hall since 2021 and has come in leaps and is growing in self‑assurance each day.

    He loves going to childcare centre each day. The team are supportive and welcoming and consistently go the extra mile to help the kids. Since my son has joined Toad Hall this year, he has gained in self‑assurance and is coming along so much.

    My daughter has flourished and is discovering so much each day. She is consistently so excited to start the day and it really fills me and my husband with so much reassurance to know how cheerful and cared for she is every day. I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment I walked into the childcare centre all team and management have been welcoming and welcoming.

    The childcare centre provides a excellent range of activities that meet his developmental needs and ever-growing curiosity. They celebrate a wide range of topics which promote discovering and inclusivity. The childcare centre setting is very welcoming and secure with outstanding facilities, the outside playtime area is outstanding 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 childcare centre is the team, they are just excellent and genuinely care about the kids. From the first time I visited the childcare centre, I knew this was the place for my son and have consistently felt absolutely confident that he is receiving the best care. I can’t suggest this childcare centre highly enough, my son absolutely loves it.

    As we are first-time parents, there were a lot of nerves and questions from our side. The team were outstanding 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 kid and is provided with an incredible range of activities that meet all his needs and encourages discovering. The team are absolutely incredible and show a genuine passion for what they do. They have created a very secure setting for our little ones. The rooms are well equipped with a wide variety of toys and the outside playtime spaces are any kid’s dream. Meals and snacks are healthy, well-balanced and cater for my picky eater. We came to view Toad Hall on a recommendation from a friend who has a kid there.

    The team are lovely, consistently attentive for each kid individually. They have lots of incredible and very creative ideas for entertainment, making every day a enjoyable setting to go to which is very important. Also, I really like the fact they prepare food for kids in the childcare centre, my daughter loves eating there and I know that she has a great, balanced diet. My second kid attends this childcare centre.

    It’s a lovely childcare centre 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 excellent variety. They are constantly updating the childcare centre, reinvesting to make it excellent for the kids. The best thing about the childcare centre is the team. Childcare centre workers don’t get paid enough. The team here really care for each kid, you can see they adore their job and they adore the kids. Both my kids have loved coming to childcare centre. They adore seeing their keyworker and talk about them all the time. As a working mum, I know I’m leaving my kids 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 development every day.
    Shout out to all the team. I’ve been coming to this childcare centre for six years and I can’t fault it.

    The team are all exceptional 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 updates skills, relationships with other kids and general behaviour. Team exude professionalism, kindness and patience. Building and rooms are consistently spotless and bright. Lots of educational toys which are updated. The food is fantastic with a varied menu. All freshly cooked on-site. I could not have wished for a better place for my daughter to go to childcare centre. Would thoroughly suggest Toad Hall Chessington to anyone who is looking at where to place their kid. Fantastic childcare centre in every way!

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

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

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

    The Owls room team have been so supportive and attentive to her and there is not a single thing to complain about. Our daughter loves to go to childcare centre every day, playtime with her friends and show us what she learnt on the day. She has been so cheerful and confident there. There are so many activities to help the kids learn and develop, I can’t say how much we appreciate all team there, sense sad to leave in September this year for Reception. We sense so lucky to be able to send our daughter to Toad Hall Childcare centre Chessington when we moved to Chessington last summer.

    Our son has a tendency to be shy and nervous, but socialising with other kids at Toad Hall has really built his self‑assurance. Everyone is so compassionate and patient with him, all the team know him and us, and he is consistently well fed and cheerful when we pick him up at the end of the day. We worried so much about sending him to a childcare centre, but Toad Hall in Chessington has been so great for him and he’s clearly fond of the team and other kids there. They playtime in the garden when possible and do lots of singing and dancing, sensory and craft activities.
    The childcare centre is consistently spotless and tidy, team are welcoming and expert, 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 kids. My boy has been at Toad Hall Childcare centre since he was 13 months old and we have nothing but great things to say about the childcare centre and team.

    He has made a excellent attachment to the team in the room and friendships with the kids. I would definitely suggest this childcare centre, they are consistently welcoming and cheerful. Since my son has joined Toad Hall he has come a long way and grown in self‑assurance.

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

    My youngest is in her first class at Toad Hall and every time I pick her up I am consistently greeted with a cheerful smiley face.
    Thank you, Toad Hall. All three of my kids have started their early discovering years at Toad Hall and the team have been unbelievable throughout.

    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 childcare centre. The team here were compassionate 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 childcare centre team were incredible with the assistance and kindness they offered our family. Our son eventually returned to childcare centre, but this time with complex additional needs. The team 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 incredible they’ve been. My son loves Toad Hall and his assistance has been incredible. Toad Hall Chessington is a phenomenal childcare centre.
