ADMISSIONS & FEES
The Burrow, our woodland nursery and preschool in Ashtead, Surrey, offers two age-appropriate groups to support every stage of your child’s early learning journey.
'Little Bunnies' is designed for our younger children (2 & 3 year olds), gently introducing them to nursery life, while 'Big Bunnies' is for our older preschool children (3 & 4 year olds), preparing them for the transition to school. Together, these groups ensure every child is supported, challenged and cared for at the right pace for their age and development​.​
