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 2024 and also has a lovely, secure outdoor play area...

Review from L V (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has had a fantastic time in Glenesk nursery. This was her first nursery experience and the staff have been incredibly supportive of both my child and me. Mrs Barnett has gone out of her way to get to know my child, learning her favourite colour so that the colour is available to draw with, colour with, etc., and encouraging her out of her comfort zone in doing activities with increasing independence. I've been really impressed with the progress that she has made, such as her improved knife cutting skills from weekly cookery sessions. I feel completely comfortable leaving my children in the care of any of the staff at Glenesk. Everyone is so warm and friendly. The regular updates on the app show how happy my child is at nursery and how much she adores her teacher.

Review from N B (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My oldest son and now my younger son have attended nursery at Glenesk. We feel that we are very fortunate to have such an excellent school near by. we were delighted with the school when my older boy was there and it was the natural choice for my younger son. He is extremely happy at nursery and can't wait to go in the mornings. Mrs Barnett, who is head of the Little nursery is a wonderful teacher and I feel completely reassured that my son is being looked after by her and her team who are the kindest and most professional group of teachers I have ever encountered. They have supported his toilet training, and his social and emotional development.
We have also been lucky enough to meet lots of other families and make lifelong friends.

The school facilities are good, the pastoral care is excellent and the food is also high standard.

Review from L P (Mother of Child) published on 9 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been really happy with this nursery and the care our child receives. What stands out most is the genuinely individual approach they take with each child. The staff invest time in getting to know each child well, building strong relationships that help children feel secure and understood.

The school has a very open and welcoming atmosphere, with as much of an open-door policy as is possible, whilst keeping the building safe. Parents are encouraged to see what is happening around the school, which is reassuring and demonstrates the confidence the team has in the quality of their care.

I have been impressed by the staffing levels. There always appear to be enough adults present to provide attentive care, it feels like there are often more staff than the minimum required ratio. This creates a calm, supportive environment where children receive plenty of attention and support.

Review from C E H (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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!

Review from Kate B (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Ella P (Mother of Child) published on 25 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

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.

The inclusive and fun atmosphere is extremely infectious to children and parents alike. Glenesk is a nursery in which the individual really does matter.
