Childcare in Reigate
Reigate has 10 day nurseries, 3 pre-schools, 5 school nursery classes, 7 childminders and 13 after-school clubs. Ofsted has inspected 17 of them and rated 16 Good or better, 3 of them Outstanding. 22 have never been inspected, which usually means recently registered. Across Surrey there are 40 places per 100 children under five, better supplied than England as a whole at 32.
Places per 100 under-fives is registered capacity at nurseries, pre-schools and childminders across Surrey, divided by the children aged 0 to 4 who live there at the 2021 Census. It compares areas; it is not a count of free places today. It also leaves out the 184 school nursery classes across Surrey, because nobody publishes how many children they take.

What people ask about childcare in Reigate
Answered from the figures on this page, so they stay in step with it.
Which nurseries in Reigate take funded hours?
5 of the 39 settings in Reigate are recorded as taking the government funded hours. Councils do not publish a list of approved providers, so the rest are unknown rather than a no.
Are any nurseries in Reigate rated Outstanding?
Yes. 3 of the 17 settings Ofsted has inspected in Reigate hold an Outstanding grade.
Which nurseries in Reigate take babies?
25 settings in Reigate are registered to take children under two. Ofsted's register does not say whether a setting runs a baby room or has space in it, so ring before you plan around it.
Is it hard to get a nursery place in Reigate?
Surrey has 40 registered childcare places for every 100 children under five, against 32 across England. That is registered capacity rather than free places, so it compares areas rather than telling you what is available this week.
