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 warmly welcomed as they arrive and happily leave their parents. They show great enthusiasm and curiosity when they explore the activities on offer. Staff use their assessments of children's development well and invest time in getting to know the children and their families. Staff successfully plan a varied curriculum around children's interests and what they need to learn next. For example, children excitedly master the skill of mixing paint as they enthusiastically paint pictures for their parents. Children recall information that they have learned about spiders. For instance, they use positional language, such as 'under the stones', as they discuss where they have found tiny spiders. Children learn the importance of caring for the environment and creatures as they chat about how they should 'be quiet to not frighten the spiders'.
Children have established close bonds with their key persons. They demonstrate that they are confident and comfortable in their environment. The manager and team fully consider children's individuality, and speak knowledgeably about the children. They are committed to ensuring that the nursery is a welcoming, inclusive and child-friendly place to learn. Resources are easily accessible for children to selfselect and lead their own play. Children delight in using water sprayers to clean toys and have fun using them to play chasing games with staff. They are confident communicators and excitedly tell visitors about the different plant seeds they are growing, how far they can jump on the obstacle courses and how to make mud pies.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff teaching skills to consistently include and extend all children's learning during large-group activities.

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.
