8am to 6pm Non-Funded (reviewed annually in January) £99.00
One published rate. What you pay depends on the days you need and the funded hours you can claim.
Funded hours
15 hours per week universal funding for all 3 & 4 year olds; 30 hours additional funding for eligible working parents of 3 & 4 year olds; Working Parents Entitlement for 1 and 2 year olds; FEET funding for eligible 2 year olds.
Worth knowing. We ask that parents pay the £11.00 consumable fee for each funded day, which will include everything (extras) provided by Round and Round the Gardens, this will ensure that the business remains sustainable, however you are able to opt-out of the consumable fee meaning parents would need to provide all items on the list on each funded day.
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 happy and content in the company of staff. This means they settle down quickly when they first arrive at nursery. The staff set out clear expectations for children, which helps them understand the difference between right and wrong.
Staff interactions are meaningful, and they encourage children to explore their feelings. Children's personal, social, and emotional development is supported well.
Children love the outdoors and being in the fresh air. They have opportunities to explore their environment in all weathers. Children have freedom to move around with confidence and pleasure in large open spaces. Staff deploy themselves well to ensure children are in sight and hearing at all times. They facilitate the children's learning by being present and involved in their experiences. Children feel valued as staff share their fascinations with them. For instance, children delight as they explore a huge puddle that has been created from the overnight rain. The staff share their pleasure as they splash and stomp around in the water. Children decide to fill a wheelbarrow up with water using a jug and a bucket. Staff help with this task, and they work together to fill a bucket up using a jug. They then transfer the bucket of water into the wheelbarrow. There is skill and persistence involved in the activity and staff praise the children's efforts. Children's physical development is supported well, and they learn to persevere.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff's knowledge of how to promote good hygiene and further support children's self-care skills n strengthen the organisation of routines and activities to avoid children waiting for long periods.

- Meals
- Nappies
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 £99.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? 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.
