Gunness and Burringham Pre-School
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A pre-school in Scunthorpe for children from birth to 8+, open 08:50 to 15:20, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2024. Open since 1987, with 16 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
Children arrive happy and excited for the day ahead. A phased arrival each day ensures that all children and their families are warmly greeted and made to feel welcome. Children know and trust staff, and interactions between them are kind and gentle. Children return to staff during the day to sit close and feel a sense of security and belonging.
Children are sociable, friendly and behave well. Staff and children start the day together, singing and performing the actions to 'Reach up, shake up, it's another day'. Throughout the day, the pre-school is calm and well organised and equipped.
Children can move freely inside and outside and are able to choose from a wide array of interesting and engaging activities, resources and books. Children are motivated and eager learners, and this helps them to make good progress.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- build further on teaching practice during group activities so that children have more time to process information, share their ideas and use new vocabulary.

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.
