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, including those who have recently started attending, demonstrate that they feel happy, safe and secure in the warm and welcoming pre-school. Leaders and staff provide an inclusive environment for all children. A highly effective key person system supports children's emotional development and helps to foster early attachments, so that individual children's care needs are met from the outset.
Children demonstrate a positive attitude to learning and behave well. The dedicated leaders and staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and conduct. They act as positive role models and rules and boundaries are in place to help children to understand what is expected of them. Children are kind, caring, interact well with others and play harmoniously with their friends.
All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities

What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
