When is early Spring?

Hey all,

When do you think it will be safe for me to start pruning back my
Shrubs that are classified as "prune in early Spring". Is this weekend
too early?

I've noticed that a few of my Shrubs are starting to bud - it's
probably due to some of the warm weather.

If it helps, I'm in Guildford, Surrey.

Cheers,
Nick
