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
The children separate well from carers on arrival and are lovingly welcomed into the setting. They have special bonds with the staff and have begun to form relationships with each other. For instance, they initiate play with one another and delight in their shared experiences. Children feel secure to explore their environment. They show curiosity and a willingness to learn and find out more about their chosen activity. Staff support children's play and will seek out ways to extend their learning. For example, children make up a game where animals hide under a sheet of paper. Staff are enthusiastic in their interactions and extend learning by talking about the different features of the animals.
Children are beginning to respect each other's choices. This is reinforced by staff, who take time to talk to children about feelings and boundaries. Children's emotional needs are met. For example, staff warmly support children who have woken up from sleep and help them regulate their emotions. They are comforted and their needs are met, enabling them to confidently engage in play. Children love being outside playing on bicycles and in the sand. While outside, they become engrossed and investigate, making marks with paint and mud. Staff support children when extending their language, and give them the words to describe different textures.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop a more consistent approach to teaching children about the importance of good hygiene practices and how to manage their own personal care needs, to further enhance their self-care skills.

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.
