Toad Hall Nursery - Horley

Toad Hall Nursery Horley was inspected on 2 November 2022 under the legacy four-area framework (Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management), with all areas graded Good and overall effectiveness rated Good. This analysis maps those findings to the November 2025 seven-area framework. The nursery demonstrates strong safeguarding arrangements, effective inclusion support for SEND and EAL learners, and positive behaviour management. Key areas for development centre on staff language modelling (particularly pronunciation and encouraging children to move away from dummies) and promoting independence for older children in daily routines. The setting maintains consistent Good performance across all areas with no urgent concerns, positioning it well for targeted improvements that could move toward Strong Standard grades.
