Acorns - BP
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Sunbury-On-Thames for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2023. Open since 2001, with 50 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Surrey
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Surrey from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
All children benefit from warm and caring interactions with staff. This helps children to feel safe and secure. Staff provide positive support to help babies and young children learn the importance of being kind to their friends. Young children enjoy listening to stories, songs and rhymes. Staff build on these interests well as young children independently explore items in a song box. For example, as a baby plays with a mouse finger puppet and runs it up and down a toy clock tower, staff sing
'Hickory Dickory Dock'. In response, babies squeal in delight.
Staff promote children's language and communication development well over time.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop systems to monitor staff's understanding of learning shared through the range of training and development opportunities already in place n develop staff practice to ensure consistency in supporting the behaviour of older children in order to promote their sustained engagement in activities.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
