Georgia has worked hard with all different ages, starting as a practitioner and working up to being a room leader and now a deputy manager.

Our experienced team recognises the unique qualities of each child, ensuring that the environment is tailored to meet their individual needs. Through our key person approach, every child has a special adult to guide them throughout the day, fostering a sense of security and support.
We take pride in ensuring that each day at Pippa's House Children's Nursery in Guildford is filled with fun, love, and learning. With two lovely gardens accessible year-round and the stunning National Trust grounds next door, outdoor learning knows no bounds. From cultivating fruits and vegetables to exploring British wildlife, children have a diverse range of educational opportunities.
Our settling babies
In our welcoming downstairs rooms, our youngest ones find a nurturing environment to settle in, feel secure, and begin their journey of independence from their caregivers. We prioritise creating a cosy and engaging atmosphere where they can form new bonds and take their initial steps. We value open communication with parents to ensure that the transition to nursery respects established routines for the newest addition to the family.
Our curious toddlers
Our toddlers are natural explorers, eager to discover the world around them. They utilise a variety of materials and authentic resources to initiate their own play and gain insights into their environment. Engaging in messy play enhances their sensory development and sparks their imagination. Through these activities, they enhance their physical abilities, gain confidence, and learn to interact with their peers. Outdoor play is central to their daily routine, where games and ride-on vehicles contribute to the development of their gross motor skills and coordination while they have fun.
Our independent preschoolers
Our eldest children benefit from a more structured curriculum designed to prepare them for school. They hone their prewriting and prereading skills through tracing, refining their pencil grip, and engaging in discussions about stories. As their attention spans lengthen, they tackle increasingly challenging and extended activities. Art and craft activities foster decision-making and self-expression, while working with their peers promotes social skills. As they prepare to transition to the next phase of their educational journey, we help them to master the self-care routines necessary for a smooth adjustment to school life.
Our extracurricular activities, including sports, drama, and dance, offer an extra layer of learning, creating memorable experiences for the children. We encourage family involvement, providing plenty of opportunities for the whole family to participate in these activities.
From the Pippa's House Guildford family to yours, we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you in!
