Toad Hall Nursery Group celebrates 30 years!


July marked the 30th birthday anniversary of Toad Hall Nursery Group! We first opened our doors thirty years ago and have grown to an impressive eleven established settings, with a twelfth site opening in Wellingborough later this year!


Birthday celebrations have been in full swing, all our eleven nurseries kick-started the fun by having their own birthday parties, including lots of birthday-themed play with celebratory games and food. Louise Cope, Senior Support Manager, at Haslemere Nursery, said “It was really lovely to involve the children in our birthday celebrations. We held a big party with lots of fun and games and everyone got involved! I’ve been with Toad Hall Nursery Group now for over 17 years, it’s been amazing to celebrate this special milestone with them.” 


Our staff celebrations followed, and all staff and their families were invited to a Family Away Day at Ascot Racecourse. Families were treated to an action-packed day of entertainment, food and plenty of cake!


Our Company Directors, Claire French and Gail Tanner said “We have a fantastic team of people working within Toad Hall Nursery Group, we are delighted they and their families could join us at Ascot Racecourse for our Family Away Day to celebrate this big milestone for the company. We really do appreciate our staff and everything they do.”

Nursery Managers all received a caricature sketch of themselves on their Annual Away Day to keep as a Toad Hall Nursery keepsake. All staff had the fun of trying to match the sketches up with each Manager!


Over the years Toad Hall Nursery Group has grown and evolved. Our nurseries have been traditionally based in the South East of England, however, our newest site will be in Northampton, which we open later on this year. We look forward to sharing the pictures with everyone when it’s transformed! The new purpose-built nursery is situated on a new housing development and will feature beautiful light and spacious rooms with access to free-flowing garden spaces. The nursery will provide a welcoming space for children, parents and carers to feel at home, with individual planning allowing children to play, learn and adapt while exploring new things and developing personalities.

As winter blankets the world in a glistening layer of frost and ice, the outdoors transforms into a magical playground for the children of Toad Hall Nursery, offering a unique set of benefits that extend beyond the chill in the air. Embracing the beauty of winter through outdoor play is not only invigorating but also contributes significantly to the overall well-being and development of our young minds. Our beautiful, explorative garden spaces within our nurseries are accessible all year round and we actively encourage the children to engage in outdoor activities to reap the multitude of benefits they offer.
