Moulton Harrox Pre-School and Out of School Club
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in Spalding 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 February 2023. Open since 2012, 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 Lincolnshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Lincolnshire 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 wave goodbye to their parents and carers and come into the setting happily. They independently look for their peg to hang their coats and bags up.
Children choose what they like to play with and enjoy these activities with their friends. They take turns to gently water the plants outside and help each other to fill up their water containers. Children develop warm relationships with their peers.
Children spend lots of time outdoors developing their imaginations. They mark make with chalks to draw treasure maps on the pavement. Children confidently draw an 'X', to show where the treasure is hidden. Staff support children's learning by building on what they already know about pirates, and they compose an exciting adventure story. Children develop these skills further as they keenly make up their own stories, pretending to be eaten by the hungry sharks as they swim in the ocean.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- develop staff's understanding of how they can extend children's vocabulary and language skills during independent play activities n strengthen support for children to deal with their emotions and help them to understand what is expected of them.

Still missing for Moulton Harrox Pre-School and Out of School Club
- What it costs
- Funded hours
- Youngest age taken
- Meals
- Nappies
- 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.
