Creche in North Surrey moved (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nursery

'creche' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'north surrey moved' is the wordplay.
'north' becomes 'N' (abbreviation).
'moved' is an anagram indicator.
'surrey' anagrammed gives 'ursery'.
'n'+'ursery'='NURSERY'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nursery that I've seen before include "For young humans and young plants" , "Where young plants grow up?" , "growing place" , "Such cannons repeatedly taken" , "Room for small children" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
