About Surbiton Hill Nursery School
Surbiton Hill Nursery School sits alone at the top of the nursery tree in Kingston upon Thames. It is the only state-funded nursery in the borough, and it holds the single Outstanding rating among its peers. That puts it in a category of its own for families looking for early years provision in the area. The school is led by headteacher Esther White and caters for children aged two to five, with a mixed intake of 130 pupils. Its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', and it operates as a state nursery within the Kingston upon Thames local authority. For parents weighing up their options, the local landscape is straightforward: this is the only state nursery in the borough, and it has the highest possible Ofsted rating.
