Little Angels Pre-School
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A pre-school in Fareham for children from birth to 5, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 February 2023. Open since 1992, with 26 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 Hampshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Hampshire 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 are happy and excited as they arrive at the pre-school. They leave their carers happily and are warmly welcomed by friendly staff. Children smile as they run over to greet friends, and they immediately begin to play together. They delight in playing outside with mud, digging for 'treasure'. Children jump up and down with joy as they notice how the mud splashes high up their wellington boots.
Children benefit from a curriculum which has been designed to meet their individual needs. Staff identify what children need to learn next and then plan a suitable range of learning experiences. Children receive targeted support based on their development needs, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. For instance, children who need support with their speech take part in stimulating language groups. They cheer as they correctly identify sounds heard in a sound game. Staff also use simple signs to reinforce children's early communication skills.
Children enjoy listening to exciting and interactive books. When staff begin to read a book about an alien crashing on earth, they laugh as they blow away the 'smoke'
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review staff deployment so unwanted incidents of behaviour are dealt with appropriately and consistently.

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.
