From the minute i started working at Toad Hall I have loved every minute of it.
The staff team is lovely and we work well as a team together.
The management are excellent and they are always there if you ever need them.
Management are always on hand in the office if you ever need them or their support.

When I started at Toad Hall I was an apprentice and with the help of management I was able to work through my apprentership and become a level 3.

During my time at working at Toad Hall a lot has happened. One of those things being the death of my Grandad. during this very tough time I had the support from management to help me grieve.

During the pandemic of 2020 we all kept in contact as a team and the management team would check in on us to make sure we are ok and to offer support if we ever needed it.

Before the pandemic and during the pandemic I myslef was going through and still going through a tough time but with the support of my manager I have been able to get the help that I need and that is all thanks to my manager.
My manager has been excellent, she has been an amazing help to me and I am very great full.

While being at Toad Hall I have learned a lot of things, related to the job and also a lot of life skills and that is all thanks to my manager.

Working at Toad Hall is amazing the atmosphere is amazing we are a great team that work well together.
Toad Hall is an amazing company to work for.

Overall I enjoy working at Toad Hall.

I was really excited to join this company as it sounded like a great opportunity during the interview process, but unfortunately, the reality was very different. There was no proper induction, and I didn’t receive the support I expected from senior management throughout my time there.

The role itself was unclear, and I often found myself doing other people’s work on top of my own responsibilities. When I tried to raise how overwhelmed I was feeling, I was told it was just part of the job.

I experienced significant stress and anxiety while working here, and despite being visibly upset and asking for help, there was no real support offered — either at the time or afterwards. It was a very draining experience, and I felt undervalued.

There also seems to be a culture of favouritism — if your face fits, you’ll do well, but if not, you’ll likely struggle to be heard or supported.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this company unless major changes are made in how staff are supported and valued.

Working at Toad Hall has been an excellent experience. Every day is different and there is always a new and exciting activity happening within the nursery. The whole staff team are there to support one another and have fun together at the nursery from singing and dancing around the room to staff socials outside of work.

management are always on hand to offer support. Whether it is helping out in the rooms if it gets very busy or having a chat about an issue you are facing, all you have to do is ask. Management at Toad Hall are very understanding when it comes to mental health and staff well being and have put a lot in place to support this.

There are many opportunities at Toad Hall to grow and development your knowledge and training and opportunities to progress within your career. These range from apprenticeships to online training, first aid training to safeguarding.

Overall, my experience at Toad hall has been very positive and I have learnt a lot about my career as well as my self as a person, gaining confidence in what I do. The company has only enhanced my passion for working with children and watching them grow and develop within the setting is very much a privilege.

Management pretends to care about you but only really has time for their favourites. The whole company and each location has cliques and if you’re not in it don’t even think about being treated like a person in any way. They will turn situations and make you look like you’ve done wrong when you haven’t and won’t help you in any way shape or form. On the outside they look great but they’re only there to make money. They pretend to care about the children but will lie to parents so that they look good. Examples include, telling parents their child is happy and loves nursery when in fact they have been crying and not involved in anything all day. When people come to check the nursery the manager will come round and tell everyone to be on their best behaviour and do their jobs but the second no one else is there the whole place goes back to a mess. Everyone and everything is a fake. 

I have worked for Toad Hall Nursery now for just over 9 months. Even at interview stage I felt completely relaxed and everyone was so friendly.

When I first started the job, I couldn't believe the culture - it was so different to what I had previously known.

I felt completely comfortable and everyone was amazing - they still are.

I love our Toad Hall Rewards system in where we can access our own website to get amazing discounts on hundreds of stores and earn some cash back also.

Toad Hall are great for getting all of their staff involved - we have a summer BBQ in which all employees attend and also a brilliant Christmas party. We are fully committed to employee engagement.

We all know who everyone is by name and the CEO is very involved with all of us.

Since I have joined Toad Hall I have completed loads of training and started my Level 4 Business and Administration in which my Manager has supported me greatly.

Toad Hall is a great place to work - I can't imagine being anywhere else!

I have worked at Toad Hall for coming up to 4 years this October and I love my job!
Toad Hall is definitely the best nursery company I have worked for. It’s fun, forever developing and has a very strong focus on staff and their self development. There is a great management, HR and head office structure in place, and being relatively small everyone knows everyone. Which is fab and makes work a lot easier and friendly. 
Toad Hall offers many great benefits and there are plenty of training opportunities and promotions throughout the company. 
The team I get to work with on a daily basis are amazing, they make the nursery fantastic. Everyday at nursery is fun and full of live and laughter. The staff team are happy and enjoy their jobs which provides an enriched working environment, where the whole nursery can thrive. I couldn’t work with a better team!! 
Toad Hall is a great company to join.

I have been working at Toad Hall for over 3 years, since working for Toad Hall I have been able to progress through different job roles, starting as bank staff and then securing a role as a room leader. The company has offered me a huge deal of flexibility, whilst working for toad hall I have been able to change location of work, take time out of work to travel, change job roles to better suit my current home life situation and also I have been able to study for 3 years alongside working which has allowed me to gain higher qualifications. 
Working for toad hall I have been able to create some really strong bonds with children, parents and staff. The management team at Ottershaw are so supportive and always encourage staff to think of unique, fun and meaningful learning activities to support the children to thrive! 

From the minute I walked in to Toad Hall Nursery I felt safe and welcomed by the managers. 

Unfortunately I came from a nursery that management felt it okay to bully the staff. They would not allow me reasonable time off when it came to saying goodbye to my Auntie and shouted abuse at my mother when she collected me.

I started at Toad Hall a few months after my Auntie died, they have been considerate to my grief. They have reminded me when I have had too much holiday left - in my first three years at the other nursery I lost out on holiday each year as they didn't give me online access to my contract or holiday allowance.

During the pandemic of 2020 they kept in touch, made sure we were all well and have given us support in returning to work. I have to say this is only my second workplace but it is certainly my best!

I have worked at Toad Hall Nursery since September 2016 and I couldn't recommend joining a Toad Hall team near you enough. The company is passionate and progressive and really puts the children at the heart of everything they do whilst ensuring every milestone and next step is met using fun and exciting practice models that are embedded in the staff teams!
