Ashburton House Day Nursery
Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Weybridge for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in September 2021, though that is 5 years ago now. Open since 2014, with 75 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
Children are happy and settled. They thoroughly enjoy the challenging and motivating activities that staff plan for them and develop the skills they need for future learning. Children confidently engage with staff and other children. They are proud of their achievements. For instance, older children say 'I did it' when they copy and write their name. Children are keen to learn and explore. For example, they concentrate well as they use sticks to make marks in shaving foam. Babies form close relationships with their key person. They are quickly reassured when staff give them a hug. Children behave well. For example, during the inspection, they decided to pretend to be builders and worked together cooperatively to move a play cement mixer around the garden. Children enjoy looking at books independently while sitting in an outdoor den and listen attentively to stories. The nursery has recently won an award for storytelling. Staff have used the award to obtain more books that further support children's great interest in books. Older children independently walk along balancing beams, carefully placing one foot in front of the other. Staff stay nearby to keep them safe and hold their hands when they decide to attempt physical challenges by themselves.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- coach and support staff to further develop the quality of progress checks for children aged between two and three years so they include more detailed information for parents to seek support for children if needed.

Still missing for Ashburton House Day Nursery

- Waiting list
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.
