October 29, 2024 at 12:03 amMy eldest son attended Toy Box between July 2010 and September 2014. He thoroughly enjoyed his time here and made some highly strong bonds with both team and kids alike. He particularly enjoyed the spacious outdoor area, especially exploring the mud kitchen and other messy activities.
I am pleased with the level of education my son received during his time here which stood him in excellent stead for starting school. He performs well both academically and socially and I sense a huge part of this is down to the hard work and dedication that Toy Box Day Childcare centre demonstrated as a whole.
Team consistently took the time to inform us of his development and also of activities we could do at home to extend his discovering. There were opportunities to come in for consultations with his key person about his development as a whole and we also attended parent workshops after hours where the manager would explain different areas of the curriculum and give guidance on how to deliver numeracy and literacy to our kids at home.
The standard of the food is highly high. My son consistently ate well (which didn’t consistently happen at home) and I was consistently pleased with the variety of food offered to the kids.
There are consistently extra curricular activities going on here, such as dressing up days, outings, visits by people form the wider community and also fundraising events. I was highly pleased that my son was part of the different events such as the annual Sports Day, Christmas Party, Nativity Plays and also the Graduation Party that is thrown for the school leavers each year.
The management team here are excellent. Highly efficient and expert but also approachable, attentive and considerate to the needs of the families and kids that attend.
We have another son on the way and as soon as we found out we were expecting I made sure that his place was secured here. It is best to book early as they often have long waiting lists for popular days.
We are looking forward to our youngest son starting here in July 2016 and know that he will receive the same exceptional level of care and education that was delivered to our eldest.
This setting truly is worth a visit. They have an open door policy and made both my wife and I sense welcome from the first visit. What a remarkable childcare centre!

March 26, 2025 at 5:36 amThey look after my little girl like she is their own. Nothing is too much trouble ever, each and every team member knows and I believe loves my kid wholeheartedly, they honestly cannot do enough for you. Reminding me of dates, ensuring my kid is consistently cheerful even on difficult days and helping me so much as a single parent. I couldn’t ask for anymore if I tried. As a childcare practitioner myself I know what I want and what I deserve and all I can say is the team and management are impeccable, consistently cheerful, attentive, smiley, and go the extra mile, overall a pleasure to deal with. I have had a few issues with my daughter settling and the team were so accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us to help us overcome the issue. I am more than cheerful with leaving my daughter in their care which is daily from when they open until when they shut! Outstanding! Toy Box Day Childcare centre consistently go above and beyond when it comes to the care of the kids.
