All Stars Pre School
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A pre-school in High Wycombe for children from birth to 5, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2022. Open since 2012, with 32 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Buckinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Buckinghamshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children separate from parents at the pre-school door with an eagerness to start the day. Staff greet children with a friendly and cheery smile and chat to parents about how their children have been. Children show high levels of independence and care for their own play environment. For instance, they wash their own hands, serve themselves snacks and pour their own drinks. When they notice they have spilt water, they seek paper towels to clear up any puddles. Staff take care to ensure that children are praised for helping.
Children develop positive relationships with their key person, who know them well.
Children enjoy spending time with familiar adults, who provide them with comfort to help them feel safe. Children are eager to explore and, together, they play with construction cooperatively demonstrating good concentration skills.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide clear information for parents about their child's learning to maintain good communication n develop ways to extend learning opportunities during group activities and transition times, to enable children to sustain their concentration and make more progress.

No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
