Queensgate Pre-School
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A pre-school in Beverley for children from birth to 8+, open 09:00 to 15:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2023. Open since 1993, with 20 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 East Riding of Yorkshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in East Riding of Yorkshire 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 clearly show that they feel happy and safe at the setting. They are greeted with enthusiasm and warmth by the caring staff team. Children hang their coats on their pegs and are ready to start their day. They are confident and develop a true sense of belonging.
Children make their own choices and are encouraged to be independent. They choose where and what they want to play with. Children use their imaginations as they role play with their friends. They are eager to engage staff in their chosen imaginative play experiences, such as dressing up and shopping for 'ice creams'.
Outside, children enjoy making 'potions' in the mud kitchen. Staff develop children's imaginations when they ask them to describe how their potion will work.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide more opportunities for children to use their own ideas and create their own designs, such as during creative activities n review and refine the routine of the day to ensure that children are able to fully engage in the activities and learning opportunities on offer.

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.
