GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A pre-school in Banstead for children from birth to 8+, open 09:00 to 15:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2023. Open since 1992, 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
The manager and staff provide a welcoming and nurturing learning environment for all children. Children thoroughly enjoy their time at this pre-school. They confidently say goodbye to their parents as they run to greet their friends. Staff give reassurance to children and recognise when they need extra support and comfort.
Staff plan and provide a varied curriculum to meet children's needs, both inside and outdoors. Children explore the environment with confidence and enthusiasm as they self-select activities. For example, they develop their understanding of cause and effect as they fill and empty containers in the sand and water areas. Children become deeply engrossed as they make potions using spoons and different-sized containers to transport their mixtures. They confidently count, work with shape and numbers in activities and make marks with chalks and other tools. Staff give clear instructions and regularly praise children for their efforts, achievements and positive behaviour. This helps to support children's emotional well-being and gain confidence in their own abilities. Children's behaviour is good. They learn to manage their feelings and emotions, and they treat each other with kindness.
Children are well prepared for the next stage in their learning, and develop skills across all areas of learning, in preparation for school.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to understand even more precisely the details of the educational programme, to ensure they consistently challenge and fully extend all children's learning n engage more closely with parents to share information about heathy eating, to better promote healthier eating practices in the pre-school.

- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
