St Newlyn East Pre School and After School Club
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Newquay for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in March 2022. Open since 2005, with 19 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 Cornwall
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cornwall 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 arrive at this friendly and nurturing pre-school and the caring staff greet them warmly. Staff know the children well and give them plenty of praise and cuddles. This supports children's emotional well-being effectively. Children are happy and feel safe. Staff provide a wide range of exciting activities which ignite children's thirst for learning. For example, children show great curiosity as they make play dough. They thoroughly enjoy scooping the ingredients into a bowl and mixing them well with their hands. Children say 'it smells like pizza' as they add mixed herbs to the dough. Staff introduce new words, such as 'knead' and 'soggy'
which support the children's growing vocabulary. Children are confident to lead their own learning as they decide to make snakes and cakes with their play dough.
Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and conduct. They teach children the importance of being respectful to each other. As a result, children behave well. Children know the rules apply to everyone, and they all help to put the toys away when the tidy up song is played. When children very occasionally struggle with regulating their behaviour, staff take appropriate action to support them. For example, they gently remind children to take turns.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to work with the quieter children more effectively to make sure that these children have the same learning experiences as the more confident children n strengthen partnerships with parents even further to help support children in developing healthy eating practices.

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.
