Little Forest School on the Green
OutstandingBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Tadworth for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 16:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in September 2025. Open since 2006, 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 flourish in this inspirational and nurturing setting. They are cared for by staff who have a deep understanding of their individual needs and promote their development exceptionally well.
Children are highly familiar with the daily routines and they know exactly what is expected of them. Through the staff's expert and consistent guidance, they very quickly learn to receive information as a group and to follow instructions carefully.
Older children happily explain to younger children why the rules are in place. For example, they discuss what could happen if rules like climbing high into the trees are not followed. This prepares children exceptionally well for the next stage in their education and for life in the wider community.

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.
