Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.

Universal early years funding, Working-parent funded childcare entitlements, Support-based funding for eligible two-year-olds.
Worth knowing. We do not charge top-up fees on funded hours. Any additional charges only apply to optional services, meals, consumable items, extra sessions, extra days, or time outside your funded entitlement.
What childcare usually costs in Gloucestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Gloucestershire 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 welcomed into this inviting pre-school by the warm and friendly staff team. They say goodbye to their parents and/or carers with ease and settle into their play. Children develop independence from an early age. They join staff to clear the table after they finish their snack and help to wash their cup and plate in a bowl of soapy water. Children demonstrate an understanding of daily routines and enjoy taking responsibility for small tasks. For example, children proudly shake the tambourine and tell their peers that they have 'five more minutes until tidy-up time'.
Children display a strong sense of belonging as they come together for morning registration. Group activities are adapted to meet the developmental needs of all the children who attend. Older children sit together on the carpet and engage in purposeful group discussions. For example, they count the number of children present and discuss the most appropriate clothing to wear outside in the cold weather. Younger children engage in small-group activities to support their concentration skills. They develop the muscles in their hands in readiness for early writing as they squeeze and mould dough with their fingers. Children express their creativity as they create a small figure from the dough.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- further develop staff's knowledge of the intentions for the curriculum, so they precisely identify what knowledge and skills they want children to learn next n build on the behaviour strategies in place to enhance children's understanding of feelings and emotions and how their behaviour can impact others.

Still missing for Innsworth Pre-School
- 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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £60.00 a day still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
