A few words from our parents and staff that gladly shared their experience with us.
What our staff have to say...
"At Toyebox it never feels like you're coming to work, it feels like you are seeing your extended family. One of the happiest experiences is seeing the children develop and flourish through the years. There is nothing more precious than a happy child.
Staff friendship extends throughout all the rooms and everyone works together as a team. We have lots of support from our managers, who make sure that all our needs and the children's needs are met."

What our parents have to say...
"“Charlie absolutely loves his days at Queen Mary’s, he has so much fun and is so well looked after by all the staff. He’s been attending since he was 7 months old, and is now in Cubs and skips into nursery every day! He is absolutely thriving. The nursery is so warm and welcoming, and I would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nursery for their little one.”

“Clocktower Pre-School is absolutely brilliant! My son has made incredible progress since starting less than a year ago. When he first joined, his speech was limited, but now he has improved immensely - he's always chatting away with everyone! The staff are so welcoming and caring, and I have complete confidence that my little one is in the best hands. I couldn’t be happier with the support and encouragement he receives every day.”

“The staff at Toye Box have been wonderful with both my children. They really helped them both settle in and were fantastic with communicating with me. Starting nursery can be an anxious time for children as well as parents. However, knowing my children are in good hands makes the whole process so much easier! Thank you, Toye Box!”

“We are very grateful for the impact you have made in Akosua life. She can now speak, tell when she is hungry and want to eat and the type of food she wants to eat. She can sing nursing rhymes, she knows colours and also says the magic words - please and thank you and she knows when to use them right. She is sociable also. The beautiful, creative pictures she brings home from school are amazing. She loves listening to the stories. Thank you to all the teachers and staff for the care you have shown to Akosua.”

“Penelope joined the Ladybirds room in January and we couldn’t be more pleased with how seamlessly she has settled in, this is due to the outstanding care, support and friendliness from Candis, Sham and Claire. This standard is set across the whole nursery, each staff member we have met are authentically engaged in their roles and we are so glad we chose Queen Mary’s. Thank you all so much for making us feel confident and at ease leaving our little one in your care.”

“Both of my sons have attended Clocktower since moving to Aldershot 3 years ago. The staff are all so lovely, welcoming and helpful. Supportive with changes that each child goes through individually and I can fully trust them to take care of my children. I love that they always celebrate events and activities within the community and the children are allowed to explore outside no matter the weather. Will always highly recommended!! Thank you”
