Celebrating a Year of Heartfelt Fundraising: Supporting WellChild Every Step of the Way

Feb 22, 2024

In the past year, our twelve nurseries rallied together to support WellChild, a vital charity for seriously ill children and their families. From Las Vegas to Walton-on-Thames, we've run marathons, hosted dress-up days, and organised charity events to raise funds.


Highlights include our Head of Finance, Michael, completing the Las Vegas half marathon early in the year, setting the pace for an extraordinary year ahead. As temperatures peaked during the summer, our Walton-on-Thames staff united in spirit, pounded the pavement to complete the Weybridge 10k.

Children and families joined in, adding their joy to our efforts through various dress-up days and cake sales throughout the year.

We recently capped off our fundraising with a heartfelt gesture, presenting a cheque to WellChild paediatric nurses at our Chessington nursery.


“We are thrilled to have been invited to Toad Hall Nursery to be presented with the fundraising cheque on behalf of WellChild. It really is such an incredible gift to a charity that supports children with complex healthcare needs and their families. Thank you to everyone involved. Through your fundraising efforts, WellChild is able to continue to fund nurses like us to continue to care for children who need additional healthcare needs and ensure they can be safely discharged home to thrive at home with their families. We are proud to be WellChild Nurses and we are very grateful for all your support. Every contribution makes a difference.” 
Alex McClements and Charlie Perth, WellChild Paediatric Long Term Ventilation Nurses


In every step and smile, we've shown that together, we can truly make a difference.

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.
