Nurseries in Surbiton

Yes. Eligible working parents in Surbiton can receive 30 funded hours a week for 38 weeks a year from the term after their child turns 9 months until age 4. Families can use fewer hours each week over more weeks where their nursery offers a stretched arrangement.

A child who turns 9 months between 1 September and 31 December can start funded childcare from 1 January if the application is completed by 31 December. For birthdays between 1 January and 31 March, the deadline is 31 March for an April start; for 1 April to 31 August, it is 31 August for a September start.

Yes. Some 2-year-olds receiving additional support can receive 15 funded hours a week, or 570 hours a year. Eligibility can include children with an EHC plan, children receiving Disability Living Allowance and families meeting the relevant income-support criteria.

Kingston's official Early Years Service administers an Early Years SEND Inclusion Fund (EYSIF) for eligible young children with emerging or lower-level special educational needs or disabilities. It also administers the Disability Access Fund for eligible children using funded early education.

Yes. Kingston's Early Years Service includes Portage support for preschool children with complex or significant developmental needs. The service works with children aged 0–5 and can support families before and during the transition into an early-years setting.

Kingston Council's Surbiton neighbourhood comprises Alexandra, Berrylands, Tolworth, Surbiton Hill and St Mark's & Seething Wells. Looking across adjoining wards can give parents more practical choices than restricting a search to central Surbiton alone.

Surbiton childcare searches mainly span KT5 and KT6. Official Kingston records show KT6 across central Surbiton, Surbiton Hill, St Mark's & Seething Wells and Tolworth, while KT5 covers areas including Berrylands and northern parts of the wider Surbiton neighbourhood.

Yes, providers can charge separately for extras such as meals, nappies, additional hours and optional trips or activities. However, parents must still be able to access their funded entitlement without being required to pay for optional extras; an alternative arrangement should be available.

No. Surbiton may still appear as Surbiton, Surrey in postal addresses, but local childcare funding, SEND and early-years responsibilities sit with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Surrey County Council's early-years system therefore does not apply to Surbiton residents.
