Toad Hall Nursery Group, which was informed about the fire at about 3.45am last Sunday and which has not had access to the building, hopes to be allowed in next week.
The group has told parents to find alternative childcare as it is not known when the 112-place nursery will reopen. ‘We don’t know the full state of the building at the moment. It would take considerable work to repair the roof,’ said the nursery group’s chief executive Ruth Pimentel.
Some of the children and staff were relocated at other Toad Hall nurseries in Surrey, namely Ripley, Ottershore and Walton-on-Thames. The group, which owns 15 nurseries, has also managed to place children in other local children’s day nurseries in Woking.
