Langmoor Pre-School
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A pre-school in Leicester 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 2022. Open since 2007, with 35 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 Leicestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leicestershire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

One grade is one visit. A run of them tells you whether it has been good for years or has only just got there.

What it is like to attend
Children demonstrate secure attachments with staff. They confidently leave parents at the door and settle quickly. Children readily engage in the variety of activities on offer. For example, children embrace outdoor play. They confidently run, ride scooters and climb a small climbing frame. Staff provide extra challenge and show children how to roll and spin hula hoops. Children laugh as they run after them.
This helps children develop their muscle strength and coordination skills. Children know how to keep themselves safe. They remember that they need to put on sun cream when they play outside as the sun may burn their skin. Children are learning to be independent. They wash their own hands, wipe their own noses and help tidy away toys.
Children are confident communicators. For example, children pretend they are at a drive-through restaurant. Their social skills are developing as they decide who will be the customers and who will take the orders. Children organise themselves well as they line up in their toy cars to make an order. They listen carefully to what their friends want and then busy themselves preparing the pretend food. Children are learning to play cooperatively and are developing friendships.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- make better use of the opportunities to extend children's learning during activities and daily routines n review the implementation of group times to ensure all children remain focused.

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.
