Lincoln Gardens Pre-School Ltd
OutstandingBirth to 5Long established
A day nursery in Scunthorpe for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in March 2022. Open since 2014, with 40 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 are made to feel welcome by the highly qualified staff, who greet them at the door on their arrival. Staff are caring and nurturing, and children form very close bonds with them. They attentively and meticulously provide high levels of care to meet all children's individual needs. For example, staff provide favourite storybooks on children's arrival. Children feel safe and secure.
Children are at the heart of everything that staff do. Managers and staff have the highest aspirations for all children. They recognise each child is a unique individual.
Children are very happy. They play with their friends with great confidence.

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.
