Guildford Day Nursery and Preschool

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. 

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. 

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

Community Building

Throughout the year, you can enjoy attending various fun events at the nursery, where we encourage our practitioners, parents and children to mingle. Join us for Easter egg hunts, summer picnics, Christmas lunches, and even visits from Santa. We also host several stay-and-play sessions, where parents and carers can enjoy a day at the nursery firsthand.

A Nurturing Start for Every Child

Your little one deserves the best start in life, and our Nurture Approach delivers just that. Designed by Early Years specialists, it focuses on wellbeing and holistic development to help every child thrive.

Building on the foundations of the government’s EYFS framework, The Nurture Approach combines creative, engaging activities that develop essential skills and confidence. This personalised approach supports each child’s progress—whether they’re moving rooms or preparing for school.

Stay connected through the Bright Horizons Family app, where you can follow your child’s day and milestones.

Preparing for School with Confidence

Our Ready for School programme helps older children build strong foundations in reading, writing, maths, and other key skills—ensuring they feel confident and excited for their next big step.
