We love Toast & Tea, but we might be a bit biased! So, we asked some of our Toast & Tea families to share their experiences.


“We regard Toast & Tea as a sort of second family”

“I can’t recommend Toast & Tea highly enough – it’s a really excellent pre and post-school club. My daughter and the whole family are such huge fans of it! 

“Ever since our first interaction with Elise, we’ve been so impressed by how quick, professional, and caring she and the whole team have been. Elise arranged for us to have settling-in sessions prior to my daughter starting, and then when she did start everyone really pulled out all the stops to help her feel at home. My daughter really struggled with the change and separation after starting in Year R at school, but Elise and Toast & Tea really went above and beyond to help her settle and focused a great deal on her individually and her wellbeing. I really can’t thank Toast and Tea enough for making the whole starting school experience a lot easier on both my daughter and us as parents. 

“Now my daughter loves going to both school and Toast & Tea – we regard Toast & Tea as a sort of second family. My daughter loves that she can spend time there with children from other year groups as well, particularly the older children who really look out for her. 

“Toast & Tea is ideal for my daughter as they run a lot of arts and crafts and other activities and invite people in to do fun things like relaxation sessions, drama sessions, and loads more. I also really like that they provide a hot nutritious meal at the end of the school day (which massively helps me as a working parent!). It’s also really useful that Toast and Tea run school holiday clubs as well, and so easy to book a space for the days you need.

“I really like that the kids all walk together from school to the setting – my daughter gets some exercise and a change of scene. Every child also has a key person to look out for them individually, which is another brilliant part of how they run things. Toast & Tea is amazingly run by Elise and her team who all love working with children, and have a lot of experience, so I know they’re all basically having a ball together after school. 

“All in all Toast & Tea is a lifesaver for me as a working parent, and a home-from-home for my daughter. A win-win all round!”

“I never have to worry”

“Toast & Tea is the best!  My son goes after school and I know he is going somewhere that is safe, fun, and a real home away from home. 

“I never have to worry. The staff are amazing, they do a variety of activities and he gets a hot meal (which many clubs don’t do), so one less thing for a working mum to worry about. The variety and quality of the food is amazing, better than mine he says! Could not recommend Toast & Tea more.”

“My son comes home with a huge smile on his face”

“My eldest boy absolutely loves the team and the environment at Toast and Tea! He comes home with a huge smile on his face (usually clutching some form of craft or baking) and he thrives in the friendly and nurturing environment.

“As a full-time working family, we are very grateful for the home-from-home setting that the team at Toast & Tea provides during term time and holidays. I also love the fact that kids of mixed ages spend time together, eat meals together and learn to form their own little Toast & Tea family.”
