  • Glenesk School & Nursery, Leatherhead
Glenesk Nursery is a friendly, family-orientated environment where children from the age of two are welcome.

The nursery is situated next door to the main school and so benefits from use of all the school facilities - with weekly swimming lessons (for 3 year olds), ballet, sports, gymnastics and forest school sessions all taught by specialists.

The setting was fully refurbished in 2019 and also has a lovely, secure outdoor play area with climbing frames, sand and water play and school animal area with chickens and guinea pigs. The small class sizes and high staff ratios ensure children receive the individual attention and support they need at such a crucial time in their development.

Lunch can be provided and they pride themselves on cooking a variety of healthy snacks and meals, freshly made on site by a qualified nutritionist.

Morning, afternoon or full day sessions and flexible wraparound care is available from 7.45am to 6pm with holiday club provision through the school holidays.

The latest School Inspection Service (SIS) inspection rated the provision 'outstanding in all areas' (March 2017).

We have had a very good experience at Glenesk Nursery and now my son is in the preschool class. My son is thriving and learning so much every day. Lovely teachers and a great school community. The activities are so varied from forest school, ballet, cooking, sports and more!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Glenesk. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this is a special place where children are genuinely cared for and nurtured.
One standout feature is the attentive and personal approach the staff takes with each child. With small class sizes, children
receive individual attention, fostering a warm and supportive environment. The teachers are not only highly skilled but also passionate about early childhood education. They invest time in getting to know each child's unique interests and needs, ensuring every little one feels valued. Their curriculum promotes not just academic skills but also social and emotional growth.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a nurturing environment for my children. Glenesk has made their transitions into preschool smooth and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent seeking a caring and enriching experience for their child!
Thank you, Glenesk, for all that you do!

Our son moved to Glenesk School & Nursery in September on turning two from another nursery. He is extremely happy there and this is all down to the nursery staff and wider school community for welcoming him into the nursery, and us too as parents. The communication we receive is excellent and we get
a real insight into his days at the nursery. We could not be happier with our decision and, as one of the youngest, it is so lovely seeing him grow in confidence week-by-week. We cannot fault it.

A fabulous, nurturing school. We couldn’t be happier and our three year old son is loving it having been there full time since his 2nd birthday. The staff are all so caring. The facilities are excellent, especially the swimming pool. Best decision we’ve made for our son.

Glenesk School & Nursery provides a wonderfully supportive, child-led environment for our littlest of people to experience new things and to grow in confidence as they learn to understand the world around them. The Nursery staff are wonderful and parents and children feel very much part of the whole
school community. In such an important time in our children's lives, Glenesk provides a secure base for them to settle and grow.

We joined Glenesk School & Nursery in January having moved from another local nursery after lockdown. The staff from the Head to the teaching staff to the support staff are all incredible. Our son loves going in and the activities and learning seem to be endless fun. What a fantastic Nursery, we couldn't
be happier.

We joined the nursery in January after a move from London, and we couldn’t be more delighted with Glenesk. Our son is thriving, which is a direct reflection of the rich curriculum and a team who put their heart and souls into the school, and we really feel part of a community that is very unique. We
are excited to continue our Glenesk Journey with a start in Rising Reception in Sept.

As a mother of three, I have had children at various different schools and nurseries over the years and I can honestly say that Glenesk is by far the most caring and nurturing environment my children have experienced. The quality of teaching is outstanding, the staff are lovely and couldn’t do any more
to help.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Probably the best nursery in Surrey. After scouring every nursery I finally decided to allow my child to choose his own nursery after attending multiple tots and toddlers sessions at multiple different nurseries in the area. My son chose a Glenesk without any hesitation. The academic capability that
they invest is incredible, even for young ages, and they manage to do it through varied and fun activities. I love the focus on social behaviours, teamwork and kindness. All the children are so polite and happy! My favourite part about Glenesk is that they are catered entirely for this age group and have a full variety timetable for the children full of activities like ballet, sports, yoga, cooking, forestry school, drama, gym etc. And they have their own wonderful large heated indoor swimming pool and so my child swims every week from the age of 3. The size of the school is perfect, not too big and not too small, and the teachers and headmistress are truly incredible. My son is so happy!

I couldn’t have found a warmer more nurturing environment for my daughter who, at the hands of the Glenesk staff, has grown into a confident and very happy little girl - we could not have asked for more.

This is a lovely caring, nurturing and thoughtful little school. I have 2 girls here and both are extremely happy. The teaching is of very high quality with a real focus on the individual. The facilities are great, and the whole school is set in beautiful surroundings where the children's imaginations
are constantly encouraged. We love it here and our 3rd little one will be starting in a few year's time too!

Glenesk is a very caring environment that allows your child to learn and grow at their own pace. The space in the nursery is light and open, with excellent age-appropriate equipment, leading into a secure and fun outdoor area. As parents, we could not be happier with the excellent start Glenesk has
given our children.

Our daughter thrived at the nursery in Glenesk which prepared her brilliantly for the next stage in her education. We cannot speak more highly of the staff who are caring, warm and extremely engaging. The nursery offers a wide range of stimulating and fun activities including ballet, swimming and forest
school. The inclusive and fun atmosphere is extremely infectious to children and parents alike. Glenesk is a nursery in which the individual really does matter.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.197)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.197) out of 10 for Glenesk School & Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.983 for Glenesk School & Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.983
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.214 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glenesk School & Nursery is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 35 number of registered child places is 7. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.714
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
