A pre-school in Betchworth for children from birth to 5, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in November 2021. Open since 2015, with 26 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 build exceptional bonds with staff and flourish in their care. They thrive in a language-rich environment, where staff encourage them to make exceptional progress from their starting points. Children's interests, needs and abilities are extremely well understood by the staff, who know what they need to achieve next.
Children's learning is seamlessly woven through everything they do by the knowledgeable staff. For example, staff ensure that the environment contains the key activities that individual children need to make them feel comfortable when they first arrive. Some children like to settle with staff for a story, others like to build models or be creative with play dough. Staff purposely position themselves at these activities to interact with the children. This helps them find out how children are feeling, their interests for the day and identify how best to engage them in their learning.
Children love stories and staff use favourite stories to extend children's attention span, their love of books and as a tool to build on experiences. For example, children take familiar stories out to forest school to read. Children enjoy searching for images of the characters throughout the trees and bushes. Staff enthusiastically join in, asking questions about the pictures, the environment they are in and the nature around them. Children learn about the names of trees and plants and who might live in and under them, such as owls and snakes. They confidently share that

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.
