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 thoroughly enjoy their time at the nursery. They are welcomed warmly by staff who are kind, caring and attentive. Babies who are new to the environment benefit from a sensitive settling-in process tailored to meet their needs. Staff readily provide warm cuddles and reassurance, which helps them to feel safe and secure. Children behave well. They form positive relationships with each other from a young age and understand the importance of being kind and sharing. Young children relish engaging in role play together and with staff as they pretend to search for animals in the garden. They run around excitedly as they head off to search for a lion, mimicking the sounds animals make when they find them and gathering leaves and grass to feed them.
All children settle quickly into their self-chosen play and have access to a wide range of interesting activities which staff carefully plan for them. Children demonstrate positive attitudes towards learning. Babies show high levels of curiosity and are keen to explore the environment. They develop their emerging walking skills as they cruise along low-level furniture to play with interactive sensory toys. Older children concentrate intently as they learn how to draw straight lines with a ruler. They keenly practise their new skills to create train tracks, using coloured pencils and a ruler to connect stations on a London Underground map.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - focus coaching and professional development to support staff to deliver the curriculum so that children consistently benefit fully from the intended learning n enhance the provision for outdoor play so that children have more opportunities to experience a richer and wider range of learning opportunities.

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.
