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
The provider has made significant improvements since the last inspection. Those with oversight and governance are greatly involved and this is evident as they speak with the same confidence as staff about individual children attending the setting. Children are valued and regarded as capable learners by staff, who have high expectations for what children can achieve. All children, including those who speak English as an additional language and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are making progress in their learning.
Staff are positive role models and children are kind, helpful and respectful. They learn how to care for their environment. For example, when the bell rings, the children know it is time to help tidy up. Staff build trusting relationships with children, which helps them to feel safe and secure. Babies sleep soundly, knowing that staff are close by, and they enjoy lots of cuddles. Toddlers and older children explore the indoor and outdoor environments with confidence. Staff listen to them and adhere to their wishes. For example, when toddlers indicate that they want something that is not out, staff take time to understand what it is they need and then make it accessible. There is a nice working atmosphere at this setting, with staff working well as a team.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to become more involved in the planning of focused activities and have a sharper focus when planning on the intentions for children's individual next steps in learning n embed consistent strategies and make full use of the available resources to support children with additional needs, including those who speak English as an additional language, to communicate their needs and understand what is happening next n enhance partnerships with parents to improve the two-way flow of information regarding children's learning and development and to support parents to continue their child's learning at home.

Still missing for Weydown Nursery School
- 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 £75.00 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.
