'for the young' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

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

'place' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
