Days Filled With Fun and Learning at Our Guildford Nursery

Your little one will flourish in our newly refurbished Guildford Day Nursery and Preschool. Our nursery provides nurturing childcare for children aged 3 months to 5 years for local families, as well as the staff, faculty, and students at the University of Surrey, where the nursery is located.

Specialist Rooms

Your child will love spending days filled with fun, learning, and friends at our nursery in Guildford. We have four exciting rooms carefully designed to support the development for each of our age groups.

As well as our four beautiful and spacious rooms, your little one will also benefit from using our specialist rooms. These include a calming sensory room, a sleeping room for peaceful naps, an art studio for embracing creativity, and a childrens kitchen for recipe making and learning about healthy foods.

Children also enjoy Boogie Mites music sessions where they can learn about the world through music and song.

A Bright Beginning for Every Child

Your little one will get the best start to their schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing-focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum, designed by our own Early Years specialists.

Building on the foundations of the governments EYFS curriculum, Bright Beginnings combines a wide range of activities to nurture and develop the skills your child needs to flourish and reach their full potential. This holistic yet personal approach supports each childs wellbeing, development, and progress – whether thats moving rooms or preparing them for school.
