The Nursery began as a sole Trader and in 2007 became a Limited company. The Nursery is now a family run business alongside the owner's three children. Toad Hall Nursery is located two miles from Wokingham and can be approached from Barkham Road or Finchampstead Road along Evendons Lane and is very accessible from Wokingham and surrounding areas.
We are set in two acres surrounded by farm land and offer children a beautiful natural environment which gives them a safe and stimulating environment in which to develop and learn through their early years. Our aim is to provide high quality child care early years learning experiences whilst retaining a personal service and friendly atmosphere.

The baby unit has space for 12 Tiddlers and 12 Tadpoles which is divided into these two rooms known as base groups. Each base group has their own main play areas, which allows for sensory exploration; physical and role play; messy play; construction materials and quiet time. We then have a large separate cot room for our youngest children who sleep in cots, and a milk kitchen and nappy changing areas.

The Nursery Unit is divided into three base groups: Newts, Minnows and Waterlillies, each of which can cater for up to 15 children per day. Each base group has their own allocated room and staff. The three rooms are divided into areas which cater for messy play; role play; story corner; physical play; creative play and sensory exploration.
Please note between the hours of 8am and 4pm where an Early Years Teacher (EYT)/ Early Years Professional (EYP) or a Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is working directly with the children, the ratio can be 1:13 as stated in the Early Years Foundation Stage. The preschool unit has space for up to 42 children and has two base rooms: The Frogs and Natterjacks, both groups are age appropriate.
At Toad Hall Nursery we are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment in which children can develop and grow into mature and responsible people. Wherever worrying changes are observed in a child's behaviour, physical condition or appearance, a specific and confidential record will be set up, separate from the usual developmental progress records.
