What local parents say
Nothing tells you more about a nursery than the families who are already there.
“My son started nursery this September,when he was 3,5 years old. Teachers helped him to settle in 2 weeks,which I think is very quickly, He likes nursery, cause all the staff have a good approach to every child. My son has a speech delay,but it doesn't affect him being around other children. His speech and his behavior is improving step by step. Kindly recommend it.”
“A dream experience so far! My child started in Autumn 2024 and I have had zero regrets since. The smaller class size of the baby room compared to other nurseries means my child gets a lot of one-to-one time, and has made amazing leaps in learning and confidence since joining. My child has never cried when dropping off since the team took so much time to arrange a slow introduction. All the staff are so kind, and I don’t worry at all whilst my child is there. There is an excellent app which gives daily updates and pictures to parents. My child loves the nursery so much they don’t want to come home - what more can you ask for?! Can highly recommend!”

Where curious minds feel at home in Haslemere
🏡
Our space
Inside, you will find an environment designed to feel like an extension of home rather than an institution. Natural materials, thoughtfully arranged spaces, and room for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers to explore at their own pace. Each area invites children to follow their interests without overstimulation.
🌿
Outdoors
Haslemere offers something increasingly rare for young children: genuine access to nature. The nursery makes full use of its outdoor space, and the Surrey Hills are quite literally on the doorstep for forest walks and seasonal discoveries.
Haslemere station is just 5 minutes on foot, so it's perfect for any parent commuting into London. Weydown Road has on-street parking, and most families drive given the semi-rural location.

Things parents ask us
Common questions
Getting started
Every child is assigned their own key person from day one, who takes responsibility for helping them feel secure and building a genuine relationship with your family. We take settling at each child's pace because we know that when you feel comfortable leaving, your child picks up on that confidence too. Our small team means familiar faces every day, which helps little ones find their feet more quickly.
We would be happy to share our latest Ofsted report and talk through what inspectors observed when you visit. Our team can walk you through what the findings mean in practice for your child's experience here.
Bring clothes you do not mind getting muddy, as outdoor play happens rain or shine. You will need to supply nappies and wipes if your child is still in them. Beyond that, just bring your child ready to explore because we take care of the rest.
Daily life
Children spend time both indoors in our Curiosity Approach environment, which is calm and carefully arranged to spark exploration, and outdoors in nature at least once or twice daily, whatever the weather. The rhythm of the day follows children's interests and energy rather than rigid timetables, with forest school experiences woven throughout. We believe nature is the best learning environment, so expect muddy boots and big stories at pickup.
Children enjoy nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day as part of their time with us. We are always happy to discuss any dietary requirements or allergies during your visit so we can accommodate your child's needs.
We use Famly, a parent app that sends you photos and updates throughout the day so you can see what your child has been up to in real time. Your child's key person is also available for face to face chats at pickup, and we hold regular parents' evenings to talk through development in more depth. You are also welcome to come into the nursery and join in activities when time allows.
The Curiosity Approach blends Reggio Emilia and Montessori principles to create an environment where natural materials, open-ended resources and calm spaces invite children to lead their own learning. At Weydown, this means your child will explore real objects, follow their own questions, and develop independence through hands-on discovery rather than adult-directed tasks. The environment itself is considered the third educator, thoughtfully arranged to spark wonder and awe.
Fees and funding
Yes, we offer funded spaces for 38 weeks of the year on a term time basis. We accept all childcare vouchers and can help you navigate what funding you are entitled to, whether that is 15 or 30 hours. The government's childcare calculator is a useful starting point, and we are always here to talk through the options.
