Peter Pan Pre-School
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A pre-school in Chatteris 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 December 2022. 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 Cambridgeshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cambridgeshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.
Places, hours and the day
Who they take, when they are open, and what a day there includes.

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 enjoy attending this warm and nurturing setting. They arrive happy and are enthusiastic to learn. Children develop warm relationships with all the staff, who are attentive towards their needs. Staff support children's behaviour and make them aware of expectations in the setting. Children follow instructions well and quickly tidy up their toys before mealtimes. Staff gently remind children about sharing and taking turns. As a result, they learn how to play cooperatively with their peers.
Children are curious learners and enjoy spending time outside. They develop their physical skills as they independently walk across balance beams and manoeuvre cars around the garden. Children have developed a love for books. They join in with familiar phrases as the staff's animated storytelling captivates their interest and brings the story to life. Mathematics is well embedded into the curriculum.
Children are encouraged to count how many bricks they have as they build towers with their peers. They develop good levels of independence and enjoy sharing their accomplishments. Children dress themselves and take delight in showing adults how they can do their zips up on their coats. This supports children to be well prepared for the next steps of their education.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff members to provide further challenge to children during activities to fully extend the quality of children's learning experiences.

Still missing for Peter Pan Pre-School
- 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.
