Bonby Pre-School
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Brigg for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in January 2024. Open since 2011, with 20 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 North Lincolnshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in North Lincolnshire 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
Staff place a great emphasis on developing relationships between children, families, school and the local community. They provide a strong, supportive and inclusive environment that helps children to enhance their personal, social and emotional development very well. Staff greet children and parents warmly on arrival. Children show that they know the routine. They take off and hang up their coat, put their lunch box in the designated area and wash their hands. Children place their personalised peg doll in the wooden house to self-register their attendance. They show their positive attitudes to learning and quickly engage in play with staff or their peers. Children's behaviour is very positive. They show how they are happy, settled and feel secure at this friendly and welcoming pre-school.
The manager and staff continue to identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and their parents. They focus on building some children's resilience to outdoor play, especially when the weather is cold or wet. Staff encourage children to wear the available outdoor shoes, waterproof clothing and hats. Children show their enthusiasm for the activities outdoors. Staff continue to support parents who find it difficult to leave their child at the pre-school. They spend time getting to know parents as well as their child to help reduce any anxiety they may feel.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- maximise opportunities for children to learn more about diversity and life in modern Britain n consider the curriculum for expressive art and design further to enable all children to communicate through the arts.

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.
