Allesley Pre-School
OutstandingBirth to 8+Open for decades
A pre-school in Allesley for children from birth to 8+, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in June 2023. Open since 1992, with 43 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 Coventry
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Coventry from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
All children arrive extremely keen and immediately begin their learning. Staff provide exciting activities in all areas of this small nursery. Staff know how to ignite and capture the children's interests and provoke their imaginations.
Children's behaviour is superb. Staff are quick to praise them frequently throughout their play and routines. Staff acknowledge and reward their individual achievements, commenting on their 'excellent ideas', 'very clever brains' and 'super knowledge of language', when they identify a creature that is 'camouflaged'.
Children are transported into another place, such as 'being under the sea', through the staff's superb execution of storytelling and the use of books. Staff create awe and wonder, and this promotes the children's natural curiosity as learners.

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.
