A pre-school in Bridlington for children from birth to 8+, open 08:30 to 16:00, 4 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2024. Open since 2015, with 21 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 East Riding of Yorkshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in East Riding of Yorkshire 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 are happy, settled and form firm friendships at the pre-school. Staff create a warm, welcoming environment for children and their families. They foster trusting relationships on all levels. Children often invite staff to play with them, and they approach them confidently when they need support. Children become incredibly independent and resilient. Staff praise children's independence and encourage them to keep trying when a task becomes difficult. Children delight in preparing snack for their friends. They wipe the tables, carefully prepare the fruit and set out the cups and plates. They make sure there is milk and water on the table. Children are proud of their achievements.
Staff carefully plan and resource the indoor and outdoor areas. This means that children make good choices in their play throughout the day. They frequently show what they have learned during their free play. For example, after an adult-led shape game, children go on to talk about the shapes they are making in the play dough. Children enjoy their learning. They join in excitedly with songs, stories and rhymes. Parents speak highly of the setting and the staff team. They particularly like the 'family feel' at the setting and how well their children are progressing.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- celebrate learning even more, for example by providing increased focus on what children have learned, remembered or mastered when sharing evaluations with staff, parents and children n build on opportunities for children to identify and talk about their feelings to help them to reflect and understand their actions and emotions.

Still missing for Flamborough Pre-School

- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- Waiting list
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.
