Longwell Green Pre-School
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Bristol for children from birth to 8+, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 2024. Open since 2016, with 38 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 South Gloucestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in South Gloucestershire 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
The provider has high expectations for all children. Staff deliver a balanced curriculum to support children's learning and development and ensure they all make good progress from their starting points. Staff prepare children well for their next stages of learning, working effectively with parents and external professionals.
Staff know the children and their families well. All children receive home visits and attend stay-and-play sessions before they join to help with the transition to preschool. Staff use their knowledge of children's individual needs, information from parents and children's interests to provide enjoyable learning opportunities.
Children become absorbed as they look for minibeasts in the garden, engage in artwork or sit quietly exploring how to build different constructions with building blocks. Children show positive attitudes to learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to focus more precisely on what they want children to learn during planned activities to ensure they consistently build on what children already know and can do n provide more opportunities for children to learn about diversity and lives different from their own.

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.
