Welcome
The Red Oak Sure Start Children’s Centre
The Red Oak Sure Start Children’s Centre is open 8am-6pm Monday- Friday (8.30am-4.30pm during school holidays) and has been rated by Ofsted as ‘good’.
Based on the site of Furzefield Primary school, we are at the heart of the Merstham community and are a ‘one-stop shop’ for children under 5 and their families. We provide advice, information, support, courses, activities and more. We also have an onsite preschool.
Our area primarily covers Merstham, Bletchingley, Nutfield and South Nutfield, although families from anywhere are welcome to access our services and activities. Priority when needed, will be given to families inside our reach area.
Please send us your feedback on any activities or groups you have attended at the Children’s Centre, as this will help us make sure we’re providing the right services as well as where we need to improve.

Update on the future of Surrey Children’s Centres
As many of you will already know Surrey cabinet met on 29th January and agreed the proposal to close over 30 of the 58 Children’s Centres in Surrey including local Centres Dover’s Green & Stepping Stones.
We are very fortunate in that they have confirmed The Red Oak will be staying open but there will be changes made to the way services run. For now this is all we know and it’s business as usual but we will of course update you as further decisions are made across the coming months.
