Nursery at Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School
Last reviewed: October 2026 · Inspection data and key information above update regularly, however, this review below is refreshed bi-annually and may not reflect recent changes. Contact the nursery directly to confirm current arrangements. If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
A separate pre-school on the school site gives Newdigate’s nursery provision its defining shape: it belongs to the school, while retaining a distinct setting within its grounds. Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School runs the provision on Village Street in Newdigate, Dorking. The school has a Church of England religious character.
For families considering it, the useful distinction is between being part of the school site and having a place in the school’s Reception class. Those are separate questions.
Adaptation is a concrete feature of the school’s early years teaching. In September 2023, early years staff adjusted activities and tasks for children who found learning harder. That matters because children can need different ways into an activity, rather than the same task presented in the same way.
The September 2023 inspection identified skilled practitioners and attentive care within the school’s early years provision. It also recognised their adjustments for children experiencing difficulty with learning. Together, these findings describe an approach that combines care with changes to teaching, rather than treating support as a separate concern.
Attending the nursery does not guarantee a Reception place at Newdigate. Families must make a separate application for Reception through the normal admissions process. Treat the nursery choice and the Reception application as two decisions, even though the pre-school occupies the school site.
The school’s address is Village Street, Newdigate, Dorking, RH5 5DJ. Its telephone number is 01306631353. These identify the school responsible for the on-site pre-school and provide a direct contact point for families.

In September 2023, the school’s early years staff were recognised for their expertise, care and adaptation of activities for children who found learning harder. This was a finding about the school’s early years provision, rather than a separate nursery grade.
