Little Potters Pre-school
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A pre-school in Coventry 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 2024. Open since 2007, with 46 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 Coventry
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Coventry 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
Leaders and staff warmly welcome children into this inclusive pre-school. Children show they feel safe and secure as they confidently explore their environment and enthusiastically share with new people what they enjoy about the pre-school. Staff and leaders know their children and families well. They focus strongly on meeting all children's needs, consistently supporting their emotional well-being. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are active, motivated learners who thrive when attending.
Staff plan learning environments meticulously around children's interests to support and build on their learning and development. Children are highly motivated as they explore the outdoors with determination. They confidently select from the range of resources on offer. Children use the water dispenser to pour water into their sand mix and use different tools to make pretend cakes for their friends. This helps develop their physical skills.
Staff foster a mutually respectful environment with children. Children behave well and listen to each other. When children become overly excited, staff remind them to be kind and help them to understand what is expected of them. Staff play games with children. For example, they count together the steps they need to reach the pretend wolf. Children giggle in sheer delight when they run away so they are not caught. This helps children develop social skills when playing with others.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support less confident staff to develop their teaching practice to help extend children's learning even further n develop and modify routines even further to allow children the time to lead and engage in their own learning.

- 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.
