Bright Horizons Leatherhead Day Nursery and Preschool
Good★ 2.9 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Leatherhead 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 March 2023. Open since 2018, with 87 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 engage in the learning opportunities available to them.
Staff read books and sing songs with children, which supports them with developing their communication and language skills. Children of all ages sit attentively as they listen to stories. When staff ask children questions about the story, they happily respond and are able to demonstrate their understanding.
Babies enjoy moving their bodies and shaking instruments as staff sing nursery rhymes to babies. They frequently smile and make eye contact with staff during their activities. This shows that they have formed secure bonds with staff.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend the range of experiences for children to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the world n strengthen communication with parents so that they all know how to access information about their child's progress, next steps and how to support their child's learning at home.

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.
