Green Lane Pre School
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in Worcester 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 Good by Ofsted in June 2024. Open since 2016, with 52 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 Worcestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Worcestershire 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 arrive at the pre-school happy. They leave their parents or carers with ease and greet the nurturing staff team with a big smile and a cuddle. Children are eager to play and motivated to learn because staff provide them with an attractive and well-resourced learning environment. Staff know children well and make regular assessments of what they know and can do. They use this information to plan an ambitious curriculum which builds on children's knowledge and skills. All children make good progress from their starting points.
Children are very confident and behave exceptionally well. They know what is expected from them because staff offer gentle reminders about their expectations throughout the day. Children are kind to their friends, share and take turns. They speak in a gentle and respectful way because staff model this during their interactions. Older children independently manage their self-care. They understand the importance of good hygiene and wash their hands at regular intervals throughout the day. Children develop good communication and language skills.
Staff engage them in meaningful conversations. For example, they ask children to describe the mini-beast house they made. Children listen attentively to stories read by enthusiastic staff. They demonstrate their understanding of the story and mimic the movements that animals make. Staff encourage children to recall words from the story. For example, children pretend to tip toe and repeat familiar words from the story as they excitedly move around.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen staffs' interactions to closely support the learning intentions of planned activities n provide children with even more experiences to hear and use their home language in play, to further support their communication and language skills.

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.
