Newchurch Pre-school Limited
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A pre-school in Warrington for children from birth to 5, open 07:30 to 17:30, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2025. Open since 2004, 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 Warrington
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Warrington 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 and their families receive a warm welcome from the dedicated staff team.
When children first start, staff gather detailed information about each child's routines, interests and previous learning. This information is used effectively to help meet children's individual needs from the outset. An effective key-person system helps children to form close attachments and settle, ready to begin learning.
Leaders have a detailed understanding of each child's progress and next steps.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to recognise the optimal time to intervene when enhancing children's learning to help ensure that children remain engaged and involved in the opportunities provided n build upon children's understanding of good hygiene practises to further support their good health.

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.
