Kingsway Childcare
GoodBirth to 5Long established
A pre-school in Goole for children from birth to 5, open 09:00 to 16:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2023. Open since 2013, with 36 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
Staff greet children and parents warmly. Children are pleased to see each other and smile. Staff ask them where they would like to play. Children who are less confident to leave their parents are supported sensitively by staff. Staff support children to learn about the world around them. Children are keen to show carrots growing in the planter. Staff ask them about what carrots need to grow. Children think carefully about this before responding. They excitedly talk about the maize plant that they recognise as the same as on a recent farm trip. Staff remind children of the excitement they had finding their way through the maze together. A
small group of children concentrate on building wooden blocks together. They discuss together how to angle the plank. Staff observe them and praise them when they roll balls down the plank.
Children have fun with staff. They learn to share and take turns. For example, they take turns to lay on rolls of paper to draw around each other. Children consider together the differences in size and the reasons why. Children very much enjoy making dough. They carefully measure cups of flour and water. This helps to develop their mathematical understanding. Staff introduce new vocabulary and talk to children about 'wet' and 'dry' ingredients. Children use their muscles to knead the dough. Staff discuss how the flour and water have changed when mixed.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- monitor the quality of education more carefully and work with staff to extend their practice further n provide more opportunities for children to develop and use their home languages in their play and learning.

Still missing for Kingsway Childcare
- What it costs
- 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.
