Woldingham Nursery Class
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A pre-school in Woldingham for children from birth to 5, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in November 2022. Open since 2001, with 36 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 arrive happily and eagerly to the pre-school. They leave their parents at the door and are welcomed by warm and friendly staff. Children develop good, close relationships with the staff, who are attentive and caring. They feel confident to approach them for support, comfort and cuddles. Children are praised for their efforts, even when they face difficulties. They demonstrate that they feel safe and secure.
Children engage and immerse themselves in the exciting activities set for them.
Staff provide a well-thought-out curriculum to support and embed children's learning. They revisit past learning with children while introducing new concepts.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to ensure that all children have equal opportunity to participate and share their ideas, allowing them to fully benefit from staff interaction and teaching.

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.
