October 24, 2022 at 12:00 amToadhall is a lovely nursery. My son started at the age of one and attended until he went to school and my daughter has just started. The staff are lovely, the classrooms are bright and friendly and the garden is amazing. My son always enjoyed going and the staff did an amazing job getting him ready for school so I had no hesitation in also sending my daughter.
Only downside was the communication I.e. knowing what was going on in the nursery and when and whether we needed to send them dressed in something specific but that has massively improved recently e.g. with the regular newsletter etc

December 5, 2022 at 12:00 amOur son has been at Toad Hall from age one. He’s currently three and will be there until school. We’ve been super happy with Toad Hall. The staff are extremely welcoming and give us full confidence he will have a fun and enjoyable day. The staff have been supportive of his development and encouraging him to be independent. He loves the weekly Spanish and sports classes. Would highly recommend it.

December 12, 2022 at 12:00 amI’ve been taking my son to Toad Hall since he was six months old and he settled into nursery so quickly and happily, it made dropping off and returning to work a lot easier. The staff here really take lots of interest in getting to know you as a parent and also your child by working alongside you. Every day you get to speak to your child keyworker and find out how their day has gone. My son is in the baby room, Hedgehogs and I loved the fact they get to mix with the class above every morning so they get used to interacting with different aged children. They offer lots of stay-and-plays for parents, which is always a nice way to meet other parents in the same class and also to see how your child gets on in the nursery setting. I would be lost without Toad Hall and all the wonderful staff that make it such a fun and happy environment for all the children to learn.

January 6, 2023 at 12:00 amThe best nursery ever. My son started there at the age of two, and I was stressed that he would not settle in there, but he did, and he likes it there very much. The staff are lovely and understanding; it is such a shame that from September, we will be starting reception, and he will not be attending here anymore. This nursery was the best choice I could make for my son. They have so many great activities throughout the day. Overall I will highly recommend this nursery to anyone, as I always do.

February 18, 2023 at 12:00 amFantastic Nursery, My daughter loves it here, and you really see her develop each day. She learns so much and enjoys playing with all of her friends, and the staff really look after her and make a fuss over all the kids. All the staff take time to get to know the children even if they are not in their particular room to create a lovely family atmosphere. She is well fed, the menus are really good for little ones.

February 20, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter started with Toad Hall Nursery Watford in August 2022. She started off in the baby room but as an early walker, the staff worked with us to ensure she then transitioned to the next room up securing a bond with a new key worker. In this time, my daughter has had some challenging times with illness and resettling after an absence but every time this happened, the staff at Toad Hall went over and beyond to support her (and us). She loves attending the nursery and talks so fondly of the staff and children. I am so glad her journey started here with Toad Hall Nursery.

March 29, 2023 at 12:00 amI love the nursery setting at Toad Hall Watfird. The menu is outstanding, and thanks to the chef, I am at ease knowing my child has eaten a well-balanced diet. I am very happy with the extra activities, which have been well throughout to introduce the children to sports, languages and much more

April 27, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little one has been going to the Toad Hall Nursery, Watford for over a year now and the moment she walks in, you can tell how comfortable and at home she feels. The staff here are amazing and I say that not just based on my personal experience with my own child, but also because I have seen the staff comforting and assuring children with love and care. It is so difficult to identify the key member associated with a child because each child is comfortable with every individual staff member of the room – which is amazing! The children are always happy and chirpy at the nursery and I cannot thank the staff enough for taking such great care of my little one.

June 21, 2023 at 12:00 amToad Hall Nursery is a brilliant nursery, and the staff is amazing and very kind and caring. My son went from 9 months old and he’s 14 months now and absolutely loves it.
They do loads of activities, the food options are great, they got loads of toys and games and my son learned so many things from them. They also note down everything the baby does in a day and keeps us the parents informed about his development and milestones. Great place, definitely recommend.

July 2, 2023 at 12:00 amOur 3rd child is now attending Toad Hall Nursery. We are very happy with the level of care she receives.
The staff are always welcoming, kind and caring. Our daughter runs in every morning excited to be there. It’s a great joy to see her so eager.
The rooms are tidy, clean and calm, set up with a number of activities for the day.
She learns a lot, there is clear communication between my daughter and the staff, and regular circle time and chats in the nursery help her to safely and calmly understand the world around her.
The large garden is used often, staff regularly tell me the kids have spent all day outside.
Staff are consistent, we still see the same faces from our time at the nursery 9 years ago. The staff greet my other children with the same enthusiasm as my daughter. They genuinely care and are so friendly every single day.
The nursery has been a wonderful, calm and very helpful part of our lives for so long, we’ll definitely miss it when it is finally time to move on!

So glad he came to this nursery but he is going to reception now so will be leaving but wished he stayed here as it is best nursery that keeps you updated and always listening to you.

August 8, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been at the nursery for 2.5 years. It’s been a really pleasant experience for her and for us as parents. She formed really nice bond with staff and we felt at ease while she was there because we knew she is well looked after.
Obviously she had a favourite person, thank you for all the love you give to the children. Thank you to one member of staff in particular for flexibility, for always being there for us. Thank you to another member of staff for preparing the food. And for the rest of you all, thank you for being part of my daughter’s journey!

August 8, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been at the nursery since September 2021. From when he had the first accommodation said he was very happy and he enjoyed being at the nursery. In the beginning, we as parents were a little bit anxious but everything started very well and my son found the time he spent at the nursery precious and excellent. We are happy that he spent the last two years in your nursery. Thank you for everything.

August 13, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff throughout our whole time at Toad Hall have been nothing but caring, helpful, supportive, and honest. It’s difficult handing over your children to complete strangers when the time comes but I now consider everyone extended family and am excited for my second child’s journey knowing that I have complete trust in them to be exactly the same again. Here’s to the next chapter. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

August 22, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Toad Hall Watford since June 2021 when he was 15 months old, to now (he’s nearly 3 and a half). This has been an amazing nursery where he has been really happy, grown a lot, learned a lot, and made friends (we have too). The staff are very caring and very cheerful, but also committed to teaching kids how to be good to each other. My son has developed incredible bonds with his key workers and carers. I was really anxious about potty training but they were really supportive about that, and he’s a much less fussy eater at nursery than at home! The organisation is really well run, communications are very good. The space is really thoughtfully laid out, with lots of running-around space in the big garden and activity areas in the rooms. You can tell that the kids are happy, and there are lots of very experienced and longstanding staff around which is a sign of a well-run place. My son has also learned a lot there. Would recommend to anyone!
