Teagues Bridge Pre-School
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A pre-school in Telford for children from birth to 8+, 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 January 2023. Open since 1997, with 32 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 Telford and Wrekin
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Telford and Wrekin 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
All staff have high expectations for all children that attend this caring and nurturing pre-school. Their mission is to support children to be confident learners who fully immerse themselves in play. Children demonstrate that they are happy and secure at this setting. The atmosphere in this pre-school is calm and relaxing as children freely explore and choose which activities they engage with. Children quickly settle into the well-established routines of the pre-school and happily greet their friends.
They are confident and ask staff and visitors to join in with their play. For instance, they hide an animal figure behind their back, and offer descriptive features of their animal, until the visitor is able to identify it. They squeal with excitement when she guesses correctly and eagerly collect another animal to repeat the activity.
Children demonstrate good concentration and resilience in problem-solving. For example, when they struggle to stand up their play figures, they do not give up.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to develop the already good-quality teaching and to extend children's learning during the implementation of the curriculum to the highest level n encourage staff to review the organisation of the play environment on a regular basis to ensure children's play areas are welcoming and remain fully resourced, to ensure that quality learning experiences are consistently maintained.

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.
