September 4, 2024 at 10:23 amMy daughter absolutely loves coming to childcare centre. The team are incredible and clearly really adore her, I sense very secure and secure leaving her there. My son equally loved his time there and despite him being at school now, lots of the team know who he is when he comes in to pick up my daughter with me. Would wholeheartedly suggest! I’ve had the pleasure of having my son and now daughter at Toad Hall for the last four years.

September 8, 2024 at 2:08 amThe transition into the childcare centre has been really smooth for both of our kids. The team are experienced and have been at Toad Hall for years – team retention is great. The balance of activities in preschool works well to ensure a mix of playtime and preparation for school. Outdoor playtime space and resources are also great. Updates from the management team is regular, high quality and tailored. We would suggest on the journey we have had so far. We have recently started at Toad Hall Childcare centre Hitchin.

September 25, 2024 at 8:10 amMy daughter went there four years ago and a lot of the same people are still there now. My 8-month-old has started. We had such a lovely welcome back and they were all so cheerful to see us again. It’s made leaving my baby in their care so reassuring and he loves going and spending time there. The team at Toad Hall Childcare centre Hitchin are second to none.

September 30, 2024 at 12:33 pmThe team are incredible and I couldn’t fault it at all! My daughter has been there since she was one and is currently in Owls. The standard of care is exceptional and they have done an incredible job of getting her ready for school. My son is due to start next month too. We absolutely adore Toad Hall!

December 1, 2024 at 6:50 pmShe has had three different key workers since joining who have all been incredible with her. They have supported us through her being breastfed, on formula, weaning and from tummy time, crawling and now walking. Every step of her joining so far.
We credit so much of the incredible little person she is becoming to the team at Toad Hall. We really couldn’t suggest them enough. Our kid started full-time at Toad Hall Childcare centre, aged 12 weeks and is now 18 months.

December 7, 2024 at 4:22 amThe team in her room have been incredible, it’s a second family for her. The whole childcare centre has an incredible vibe throughout, it’s a home away from home My daughter started here in October 2022 and she has come so far.

December 19, 2024 at 6:54 amThe team are all expert, polite and attentive. The assistance they provide for the kids in their care is incredible with different and varied activities running each day. The kids learn through playtime which means they don’t even know they are discovering, which is remarkable for preschool kids who will soon make the transition to school. Since moving to Owls, my son has grown and developed his behaviour and social skills and started recognising words in books, writing letters he has seen and trying to write his own name, this is all down to the fantastic Owls team. I do not have a bad word to say about Toad Hall.

December 22, 2024 at 3:04 amThe team are so welcoming and attentive and have really helped make the transition into daycare as smooth as possible. The team have really gone above and beyond and our daughter has settled in extremely well. Going to daycare is now part of her routine and she has just blossomed whilst in their care. Most importantly we know that she is secure and in capable hands. We could not be more grateful to Toad Hall Childcare centre, Hitchin! Our daughter started going to little chicks in January and my partner and I could not be happier.

March 4, 2025 at 4:51 pmThere are lots of well-thought-out games and activities, a great structure for the development and excellent updates on a daily basis with the parents. All in all, a excellent childcare centre. Very attentive team and our son is cheerful going in every day.

March 9, 2025 at 6:19 amConsistently smiling and welcoming, cheerful to cuddle and reassure him when we drop him off. Suggestion to move to two days worked a treat – he seems much more comfortable. The pictures and reports have been lovely to see – gives us a excellent idea of how much he’s enjoying being there. Thank you very much! Toad Hall Childcare centre have helped our son settle in really well.

March 13, 2025 at 6:48 pmThe team in Hedgehogs are outstanding and has gone above and beyond to help her settle and get comfortable in new surroundings. Likewise, they have gone the extra mile with me – including an unexpected but touching Mother’s Day gift. I am so cheerful my daughter is in the care of Toad Hall Childcare centre. Really looking forward to seeing her grow and flourish in their care. My daughter has been in the care of Toad Hall Childcare centre for a couple of months now and it has been a fantastic journey for us both.

April 17, 2025 at 5:18 pmIt was one of the first things we noticed and is why we adore this childcare centre. Nothing is too much trouble and they are exceptional at catering for all requirements (allergies, healthcare, preferences and personalities). The team members assistance and comfort kids so kindly and really embrace and encourage their little characters – and delight in sharing enjoyable stories from their day together at pickup time. It has a welcoming, family sense to it and we’re so grateful to the team for taking care of our little one! The team at Toad Hall Childcare centre Hitchin are fabulous – they create a inviting and attentive setting for the kids which is so lovely to see.

May 23, 2025 at 2:38 amFirst and foremost, I wanted to find a childcare centre where I could drop off my baby and he would be cheerful and this was more than enough for me, but Toad Hall has gone beyond this and not only is he very cheerful there, but the development I’ve seen in him since joining is genuinely incredible. I really do sense as though I’m leaving my baby in the best care, which is a huge weight off my shoulders and the relationship he has with the team is so lovely to see!! They genuinely care! My kid joined the baby room at Toad Hall Childcare centre Hitchin in January and I couldn’t be happier to have found such a attentive childcare centre.

May 26, 2025 at 6:37 amWe couldn’t wish for a better setting. The team at Butterflies have welcomed him with open arms, giving him adore and attention to help grow his self‑assurance at childcare centre. He only attends two days a week but has settled really quickly thanks to the team. He has so much enjoyable! The variety of activities and playtime opportunities both inside and out are exceptional! We can’t wait to see how our little guy grows and develops at Toad Hall Childcare centre Hitchin and thank the passionate team from the bottom of our hearts. Our thirteen-month-old son started Toad Hall Childcare centre Hitchin earlier this month.

June 21, 2025 at 7:58 amWe have seen a huge turnaround in her social skills, she went from being incredibly shy to creating strong bonds with kids and carers. She has developed a strong appetite to learn and is determined to write people’s names at the moment. One of the best things about Toad Hall Childcare centre Hitchin is the management team – they are incredibly welcoming, understanding and accommodating. This is something I hugely value as a busy working Mum. I moved my daughter from another childcare centre last year due to an inflexible and rude management team – so I’m really pleased Toad Hall is so fantastic. My daughter has been at Toad Hall Childcare centre Hitchin for just over a year, she has developed beyond our belief!

June 23, 2025 at 1:03 amI adore hearing all the things she has done in the day and seeing her thrive! My daughter has settled into childcare centre brilliantly and I think that is all down to the remarkable team and making her sense secure and welcome.

July 4, 2025 at 2:27 pmThe team have been fantastic, very attentive and attractive with my kid. They design enjoyable activities and discovering opportunities as well as outdoor enjoyable, which my kid loves. The food on offer appears to be nutritious and well-balanced. The childcare centre is very spotless, which is something I noticed when comparing to other local nurseries.
This childcare centre has been the best place for my kid and I really couldn’t fault it.
Thank you to the team. I have been hugely impressed by Toad Hall.
