    My little one absolutely adores being at Toybox, it makes me really thrilled to know she is in good hands, having fun, enjoying healthy meals and playing all day long. Would definitely endorse!

    We can’t thank them enough. The team have continued to work throughout and access to other little ones has been incredible for our little one. The crew layout a great variety of activities that focus on skill progress as well as being fun. My little one has been attending Toybox for 18-months now, and we are extremely pleased. The kids spend a great amount of time outside as well. Throughout Covid, the team have been fantastic. The crew are incredible, and he adores them. Restrictions have been in place to keep everyone protected, and they have been really successful. We find updates with the early‑years hub really easy and are really comfortable discussing anything that’s going on at home as well.

    Attention to safeguarding and children’s personal attention is falling far short of what I would expect. It is a great shame as the quality of support and crew help were fantastic when my eldest boy was enrolled at but the quality of attention is now heavily reliant on a small number of great individuals in the team. Disappointing dip in the quality of childcare with recent events leading me to look elsewhere to remove my little one from this site.

    I would enthusiastically endorse to anyone looking for a top-rate nursery setting in the area. We have put both youngsters through Toybox, and having experienced nurseries elsewhere, can say that Toybox benchmarks high against what we are looking for; progress of the kids is at the heart of what they do, correspondence with parents is transparent, and the site itself is truly well looked after with great sites.

    They are always willing to assistance any needs we may have and provide advice when needed. We get regular updates about their da,y and informative reviews about how they are progressing. Our boy has been going here since he was 8-months-old (now 4) and our girl also started going about 8-months-ago. Our kids are well looked after, and they cherish going there. The transitions between rooms are handled seamlessly, and they take great care in making sure that our young lad is ready to move up. We couldn’t be happier with the service that they provide. Their keyworkers are exceptionally attentive and set imaginative homework each week, which keeps our little one motivated and interested.

    With its purpose-built premises and kind, enthusiastic and professional personnel, Toybox has not disappointed and I’d advocate it to anyone with a little one. Some of the features that have been particularly good compared to other nurseries are: – use of digital diaries to keep you informed every day – great homemade meals every day (other nurseries were taking oven chips out every time we visited) – secure and quiet outdoor space where youngsters can games – location is convenient as it’s near shops to grab something on the way home and just off the main road so easy to get there and to park – attention of personnel is excellent and they have spotted some injuries and ails that I had not and even advised on best care We chose Toybox due to its Ofsted rating of Outstanding and after visiting a number of nurseries in the area.

    As she won’t be attending school until this September she has been given reading books and homework each week that will help her for when she does start school. My young lady has been attending toy box nursery setting since she was about 7months and is still there now. Would strongly endorse this childcare centre. I couldn’t thank toy box enough for the hard work and effort they provide to the kids. As well as wearing uniform since age 3 that has helped her for when she does start school. She has enjoyed her time at the early‑years hub and has made many friends and enjoys all the activities that they do. She has taken part in a number of activities like teddy tennis and has received stickers and certificates. She took part in the Christmas activity activities which I thoroughly enjoyed.

    The team are kind and cordial and the activities they plan are engaging and fun for the little ones. Both my little ones have been to Toybox and I have always been so pleased with the support they have received. My young lad has a dairy allergy and reflux problem and they have always been so accommodating to his needs. They have both made fantastic headway while they have been there and it was a great foundation for my boy who started school previous September.

    He has made tremendous relationships with team especially his key workers who go above and beyond to ensure he is developing whilst having fun. Our boy has now been in the nursery setting for over 12 months and absolutely enjoys it. The consultations delivered (previously face to face) are thorough and ensure us as parents are fully involved in our child’s exploring. He has also just made the transition to the next age group and we have been extremely satisfied with how this has been dealt with.

    My second little one is due to start childcare centre in the summer, and there was no question as to which nursery setting she would be attending. The teaching he receives is first‑rate and has set him on a great track for starting school in September. All the personnel are so kind and caring and know all the youngsters by name regardless of the room they are in. My boy has been attending Toybox for the prior 3-years and has grown into a pleased self‑assured little boy, which I have no doubt is largely down to the fantastic care he receives from the team here.

    The only negative feedback is that as it has been a few years since build, and the kids are (obviously) a bit rough on the building, it would benefit from a refresh inside with a lick of paint. He has been there since he was 9-months, first in the baby suite, then under two, the toddler and now pre-school. He adores the social interaction and seems as though he is challenged regularly by the team and other kids, helping him more and more to grow and explore. It is extremely immaculate inside but really seems to be tired. They have responded incredibly well to the COVID situation and work hard to keep the nursery setting safe for all. Toybox is an excellent early‑years hub, and I’m exceptionally thrilled for my young lad to join. The daily feedback is good both at handover and on the app.

    The food is excellent and my girl absolutely adores it going there each day. Fantastic childcare centre, I would definitely endorse to other parents as a first priority. The team go above and beyond to ensure my little one is thrilled, which enables me to go to work without any worry. 5 star! Cannot find a fault.

    Professional, caring, exceptionally maintained. She adores the personnel. She’s truly delighted and I would not consider her going anywhere else. The management of the nursery setting is second to none. Our eldest girl joined Toy Box until she went to school and she cherished it. I always go to work knowing that our most precious people in the world are delighted and secure. Thank you Toy Box!! Our youngest girl is still at Toy Box and always skips heading in. She flourished at Toy Box.

    The sites always smell immaculate but not overly sterile. My only improvement would be for more muddy playtime and more outdoor playtime in winter. Toybox were invaluable at helping my young lady to adjust to having a sibling. This is an incredible, nurturing childcare centre, with extremely caring, cordial and knowledgeable team. They are flexible, for example, they use our cloth nappies, and timed the transition between rooms to minimise the stress due to the arrival of her baby sister just before her 2nd birthday. All team will say hello to her by name when they see her, and they are also exceptionally useful, for example allowing me to feed my new baby in the comfy chair in the baby room when I had needed to feed during pick up. Her key worker has also given us fantastic feedback on her growth during the review sessions – they clearly know and cherish all the little ones. We had a smooth transition when my young lady began at 1, and have had a seamless transition into the toddler’s room now she is 2.
