Seedlings Pre School Woking Ltd
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Woking for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2024. Open since 2014, with 28 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 demonstrate that they feel safe and secure. They are eager to come into the well-resourced pre-school and become quickly engaged in their play. The warm and welcoming staff greet them on arrival. They quickly recognise when some children may need additional support to separate from the main carer and provide cuddles and reassurance. This helps children settle quickly.
All children show a positive attitude to learning and behave well. They engage in activities for long periods and are enthusiastic to learn and find out new things.
The manager has built an ambitious curriculum to ensure that all children, including those with special educational needs and\or disability make good progress from their starting points. Staff interact with children well and become actively engaged in their play. They use these opportunities, to promote children's communication and language skills. For example, they provide a dialogue, introduce new words to develop children's vocabulary and listen with interest to what children have to say.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- enhance staff's teaching strategies to allow children time to think and respond n support staff to recognise when some children need extra emotional support to join in with 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.
