Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
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 happily arrive and are warmly greeted by the staff. Babies receive sensitive care and support from familiar adults who know them well. Staff help children to feel safe and secure. Children become confident to communicate. They develop their vocabulary through naturally occurring events and with planned activities. For example, children learn about sea life and pollution. They talk about rubbish in the sea and link the new vocabulary to meaningful conversations with staff. Younger children use Makaton sign language and learn new signs, such as
'starfish' and 'shark'. This extends children's communication and knowledge of the world around them.
Children have ample opportunities to access the outdoors. They experience a range of activities that support their physical development. For example, they run, jump and ride tricycles in the large outside spaces. Children plant and grow their own flowers and vegetables in the allotment area. Younger children use large crayons to make marks.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- extend support and coaching for all staff, particularly those who are less experienced, to help them understand how to deliver the curriculum focus more effectively.

Still missing for Lingfield Nursery School
- Funded hours
- 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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £82.00 a day still the rate? 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.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
