Parent Reviews
Our Toybox journey started when my son was age one and I was ready to return to work. I chose Toybox because I'd heard from others the Toybox ethos was to create a nursery where parents felt safe to leave their most precious, as we all know how hard it is to hand over our babies. My son is now 3 and has journey'd through each of the age & stage rooms happily.
I can confirm it is true, I love that when I leave my son in Toybox I can go to work knowing he is safe, cared for like family & having a great time with his friends.
I love that I can see all his daily activities & learning through his online journals and the activities are well planned, being great fun for encouraging his development through play. The team are all super friendly & caring and each time he has moved to the next stage has been emotional progressing to new Key workers whilst moving on from such supportive staff. Though we soon realised this is a Toybox family and the team have always been around throughout our child's journey
.
We would like to add a special mention to the Chef as I am super impressed with all the healthy home made dishes they are provided daily, such variety & choice to help them explore their young pallet. A firm favourite for our boy is the Tuna & Salmon Pasta.
A 3yo that LOVES a healthy fish dish... Thank You Toybox!

From 2020 I have had my first and then second child enrolled at Toybox. This came by way of recommendation from my neighbour who is a childcare professional; it's hard to argue with that advice! And I've never doubted it. It's a struggle to leave your children, painful. So to know from the offset my daughter was in caring, affectionate and competent hands was huge to us.
The care my daughter received, along with her learning and development has been remarkable. I have a confident little girl who started school as the youngest in her year. I put a large proportion of this down to Toybox staff. It is not easy to trust others with your child, your baby. I didn't hesitate 2 years later with my son, in fact I increased his hours due to my confidence in his care, and that received by my daughter. These days, my daughter is thriving at school and my son is happy, adored and cared for. He matters. As does the support I have from the nursery. Be it being in tears when it all gets too much (for me!), or just having a request and seeing it actioned. His needs are constantly met, as are mine as a parent.

Privately, I cried as my daughter left these nurturing surroundings, but I had nothing to worry about. I would not hesitate to recommend Toybox to anyone else exploring childcare options. You will struggle to find a caring second home for your child with such high standards of cleanliness, care, knowledge and 'know how'. They just get it.
Toybox Nursery is such a wonderful nursery, my daughter has been attending for the last 3 years and she absolutely loves it. I have no doubt that Toybox Nursery and their staff have massively contributed to her confidence, social skills, learning capabilities, and independence. My daughter loves going to nursery and playing with all the children and she always talks very fondly of the staff.
The staff have been so great with my daughter as she's progressed through each of the rooms. I also love the food that is served to the children because I know it's freshly prepared, daily, from scratch by the chef, and my daughter loves it, regularly having seconds and sometimes thirds! I love that the nursery focus largely on outdoor play and go on lots of local walks too. The most important thing for me as a parent is knowing that I'm leaving my child at a safe, secure, well run nursery where I know all her needs are being met, and I know she is happy and thriving, which is what I get from Toybox.

I cannot commend Toybox enough, absolutely amazing nursery. My daughter has been attending since September 2015, during this time we have had some serious medical issues. The support I received from nursery for my daughter and myself has been wonderful. It is not a job to the owner or her staff but a passion and this shows in the care provided daily alongside the additional activities out with nursery days like our summer trip.
More recently my daughter best friend no longer attends the same days any longer. The girls have gone over and above to make this period easier and have buddied her with another girl to try and help my daughter with the transition of losing her friend

Toybox is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has been attending for over 2 years now and couldn’t be happier. Every morning she is welcomed with the loveliest staff and a warm smile making her feel at complete ease. The place it’s self it beautiful and very well kept with new toys and activities for the children to enjoy.
Weather permitting the children will be outside playing which I love, they go for walks to different areas around to extend their learning and are always interacting in some way making learning fun. The food they are given is amazing and always made with the best and healthiest ingredients.
I have recommended Toybox a number of times to friends, they have started their children and never looked back, agreeing it is fantastic.
Such a lovely nursery and a place I know I am happy with my daughter being everyday.

I honestly can’t recommend Toybox nursery enough! My oldest started here when he was 1 (now 4) and he still tells me everyday how much he loves his nursery!! And the food
The staff are well trained, kind and caring! The communication from the staff has always been great and that's something I really appreciate!
My youngest has just recently started going and he has settled in amazingly, which I think is a true testament to how good the staff are, as due to lockdown all he’s ever really known was being with me, but thanks to the amazing staff his wee face lights up going in and that’s reassuring to me.

My Daughter loves going to Nursery here and she has thrived.
The benefits for us are that they were able to accommodate our working hours through early starts and later collections.
The staff are also great, always able to answer questions and work with us to help our Daughters development.

Our little girl started in August and we couldn’t be happier with Toybox. All the staff are lovely and so kind to our daughter, she has a fantastic time at nursery and really enjoys the diverse range of activities they plan!
The building is so bright and clean, and has a lovely selection of toys! I always have a smile driving away after dropping her off in the morning as I know she is in the best hands and will have a brilliant day!
Would highly recommend!

Fantastic nursery with excellent staff and facilities. I love how much outdoor time the children get, and the huge variety of interesting and challenging activities planned for them. The Facebook page and learning journal updates are brilliant, and always brighten my day at work.
