Parent Testimonials

Katy D

"We moved our son Lucas to Toy Box from another local nursery because we really liked the atmosphere within the nursery, the positive attitude of the staff and the great range of experiences the children are exposed to. That was five years ago and now our daughter is in her final year after starting at nursery when she was 9 months old. Our children have really benefited from their Toy Box experience which has prepared them well for school and given them wonderful friends. Being a disabled parent has meant that many activities are difficult for me to take part in but this has never been the case at Toy Box. The staff have always supported me and worked hard to keep me involved in my children's learning journey. The whole staff team are helpful and caring for both children and parents. We would recommend Toy Box to any parent wanting the best experience for their child."

"My son has attended Toy Box for the past 15 months and he loves it. Being only 5 months old when he started, we were particularly apprehensive about leaving him, however, it soon became clear that we had no need to worry. The staff helped him to settle in quickly and he soon developed strong bonds with his key workers. As parents, we know that when we drop our son off at Toy Box, he will be looked after by enthusiastic and dedicated members of staff and often he does not want to leave when we arrive to collect him!"

"Toy Box Nursery has been a huge part of our lives for the last 5 years, our eldest daughter attended for 4 years before moving on to school, she thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of her time there, from learning to walk in the baby room to learning her ABC and numbers and graduating. As parents, we initially were nervous about leaving our child with strangers, however these initial fears were quashed straight away when we saw how happy and cared for she was. All the staff are brilliant, every question is answered and the nursery really is a home from home. Our second daughter has recently joined the Toy Box ‘Family’ and again has fitted right in. We love all the activities that go on every week, the outdoor areas and the fact that the food really is delicious! I would highly recommend Toy Box to anyone who is looking for a caring and nurturing childcare provision and look forward to the next few years seeing my child develop."

"I visited a number of nurseries in the area before choosing Toy Box. The first time I visited I knew it was the only place I would be happy to leave my daughter. Each child is treated as an individual and the staff genuinely care. From sleeping and mealtimes to potty training and playing the children’s individual needs and interests are always a priority. The staff have always worked with me and gone above and beyond to make sure we are all happy. Both of my girls love going to nursery and have flourished there."

"My experience of Toy Box nursery has been fantastic. The staff are attentive and caring. The environment that has been created is safe and loving and conducive to learning. My daughters have bloomed on a social, emotional and intellectual level during the time they have been there. I would certainly recommend this nursery to others."
