St Georges Pre-School Ltd
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A pre-school in High Heaton 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 March 2023. Open since 2010, with 35 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 Newcastle upon Tyne
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Newcastle upon Tyne 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 happily arrive at the pre-school and confidently say goodbye to parents.
They self-register, posting their name into the post box. Staff provide a range of resources and activities for children to explore. Children know the routine of the nursery well and demonstrate that they are happy and independent to move around the setting and choose where to play. Children persist with activities that interest them. For example, when threading, children concentrate as they place bobbins on the thread one at a time, naming the colours before counting how many bobbins are on their string.
Children behave well and play alongside their friends. They learn to share and take turns with support from staff. For example, when painting, children take turns to use the pots of paint and swap with each other, and when playing a matching game, children patiently wait their turn. Staff plan structured music and movement sessions. Children follow and copy the actions and movements as staff play the piano, to develop their physical control. Staff organise the environment well so that children develop their physical skills, and they enjoy fresh air and exercise daily.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the planning and organisation of group activities to ensure that the learning of all children taking part is maximised n review how children learn about shapes so that they also learn about threedimensional shapes.

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.
