Bizzkidz Day Nursery Egham

A sandpit and slide give Bizzkidz Day Nursery Egham concrete outdoor attractions. In August 2023, staff emphasised speech development, while children experimented with leaves and twigs to solve a problem in their play. This is a setting to consider for families who value practical exploration alongside preparation for school.

There are 27 places in total, for children aged 24 to 60 months. At the 1 August 2023 inspection, Ofsted rated the nursery Good overall and judged its safeguarding arrangements effective. That is a dated judgement, rather than a description of a recent visit.

Morning, afternoon and all-day sessions give families different ways to organise attendance. The important practical qualification is that year-round operation includes holiday closures and staff training days.

Learning and Activities

EYFS provides the framework for children’s learning and care: here, that means opportunities to learn and explore through play indoors and outside, alongside preparation for starting school. The environment is arranged around the ages the nursery caters for, rather than education being confined to a single formal activity.

In August 2023, activities drew on children’s existing interests. A toy crab became a starting point for discussing its pincers and sideways movement. That example makes the approach tangible: an object children wanted to investigate prompted conversation about the natural world.

Imaginative play also crossed into practical problem-solving at that time. Children organising a pretend school in the garden needed materials for writing and selected leaves and twigs. Older children helped younger participants understand the game. The account connects social play, making marks and finding a solution, rather than treating them as separate exercises.

Outdoor and Community Life

A sandpit and slide give outdoor play different textures and movements. Gallery activities also include cooking, mixing, ball play and helping in the kitchen, making hands-on participation a recognisable part of the nursery’s offer.

In August 2023, children ran, skipped and jumped outside, and staff involved them in growing vegetables in the garden. Vegetable growing connected outdoor activity with conversations about food. These are useful examples of how the garden was used at that date, alongside its role as a place for energetic play.

Relationships and Communication

At the August 2023 inspection, Ofsted found that staff supported confident speech among children, including those with SEND and those learning English as an additional language. One practical example was repeating direction words while children used a see-saw, linking language to an action they could understand.

During that same period, familiar daily routines helped children settle into activities, and children put away their belongings themselves. Adults used calm conversations about feelings and taking turns. These details give parents something more useful than a general promise of individual attention: they show how everyday routines and exchanges were being used.

The team includes a key-worker role and a deputy SENCO role, with first-aid training identified alongside them. Practitioner profiles also include childcare qualifications at Level 3. For families considering additional support, the deputy SENCO role is a concrete starting point for a discussion about their child’s needs.

Inclusion and Wellbeing

Food is prepared on the premises by nursery staff, with meals and snacks across the day and breakfast offered as an optional extra. The menu includes fish pie, curry with rice and roast chicken, and dietary options include dairy-free, vegetarian and gluten-free food.

In August 2023, children also practised brushing their teeth after lunch and tried unfamiliar foods. Those observations connect care routines with growing independence. Key-card access and recording CCTV are current physical security arrangements; their existence is separate from the dated safeguarding judgement.

Sessions and Attendance

The address is 67 Hummer Road, Egham, Surrey TW20 9BP. Standard opening hours are 8.15am to 6pm on weekdays.

Morning sessions run from 8.15am to 1.15pm, afternoons from 1.30pm to 6pm, and all-day sessions from 8.15am to 6pm. The minimum booking is two sessions each week. This gives families a choice between shorter attendance and a complete day, but the minimum still matters when planning a small weekly booking.

The Early Bird Service is a separately charged, advance-booked extension from 7am to 8.15am. It adds an earlier start before ordinary opening, so families needing it must plan that element separately from their main session.

Operation continues across the year, with closures for Easter, Christmas and public holidays, plus three staff training days annually. Year-round care therefore needs to be considered alongside the closure calendar. Enquiries can be made by telephone, email or the contact form.

Funding and Paid Extras

Funded childcare is offered through FEET and EYFE. Free Early Education for Two year olds (FEET) supports eligible families with up to 15 hours weekly across 38 weeks of the year. Eligibility is part of that offer; it is not an entitlement for every two-year-old attending.

Breakfast is optional, and the Early Bird Service carries an additional charge. Current prices come in the nursery’s written quotation. A family comparing funded and paid attendance should consider the complete attendance plan, rather than the main session alone.

• Teaching and mathematics. In August 2023, monitoring did not consistently identify how individual staff could improve, younger children lost interest in a group phonics activity, and mathematical ideas were not extended throughout play. During a visit, ask how activities now accommodate younger children and develop mathematical understanding.
• Bookings and closures. Attendance requires at least two sessions weekly, and Christmas, Easter, public holidays and three annual training days interrupt the year-round pattern. These conditions matter when fitting childcare around work.
• The whole childcare quotation. Early Bird attendance carries an additional charge. Before joining, ask how funded hours fit your chosen sessions and how meals and non-food consumables are treated in the quotation.

Bizzkidz suits families seeking morning or afternoon attendance as well as all-day care, with an advance-booked earlier start for those who need it. Its strongest concrete attractions are hands-on outdoor play, food cooked on site and the language-support examples from August 2023.

The Good judgement sits alongside specific teaching improvements, rather than replacing them. Families choosing this nursery should weigh its practical session choices and garden activities together with how teaching is adapted to children at different stages.
