Good★ 5.0 on GoogleBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Woking 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 November 2023. Open since 2015, with 32 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
Managers have high expectations for all children to make the progress they are capable of. They support staff to regularly refresh the learning environment so that it continues to stimulate and engage children's attention. Staff carefully consider children's interests to promote their continued learning. For example, staff observe that children enjoy playing with the teddy bears. To extend this, staff plan activities where children develop their physical skills by making teddy bear pictures. Children use various craft materials to decorate their bears, such as paint and pom-poms, which gives them opportunities to be creative.
Arrangements to supervise children are implemented well by staff. This enables staff to notice and respond quickly when children need support with their behaviour. Staff teach children to regulate their feelings. They talk calmly to children, and encourage them to share or find another activity to engage their attention in. This helps children to develop an understanding of how to resolve conflicts.
Staff support children to engage in meaningful play. For instance, when children set up a 'shop', staff act out the role of buying food. They ask how much they need to pay and this gives children opportunities to share their mathematical knowledge as they talk about the prices of the items.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - support children and parents to develop an understanding of online risks and how to protect themselves when they use online devices.

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.
