Toad Hall Nursery Earns 2024 Great Place To Work Certification™

12 April 2024

Toad Hall Nursery is proud to be Certified™ by Great Place To Work® for 2024. 

The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working with us, so we couldn't be more proud to achieve this.


We are fully committed to creating a positive, supportive, fun, and fulfilling work environment for all who work with us, from our nursery teams through to Head Office staff. We pride ourselves on our family atmosphere, which is one of the many reasons why so many of our employees have been with the company for 10+ years.


"Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience," says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasizes that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Toad Hall Nursery stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees."

We’re celebrating a truly remarkable achievement - our amazing Nursery Manager, Kerry, from Toad Hall Nursery in Horley, has been part of our family for an incredible 20 years! Kerry’s passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment shine through every day. She goes above and beyond to support children, families, and staff, making a lasting impact on everyone around her. Her journey began as an Apprentice, and over the years, Kerry has gained extensive experience in various roles, continually developing her skills. Kerry holds a Foundation Degree in Early Years and a Level 5 qualification in SEND, which has shaped her into the outstanding leader she is today. Her expertise was reflected in the nursery’s last glowing Ofsted report (November 2022), which highlighted the strong support for children with SEND, stating: "Support for children with SEND is a strength of the nursery. As a result, children with SEND make good progress in learning and development."
