The Village Pre-Schools
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Tyles Green for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 16:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2023. Open since 2002, with 34 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 Buckinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Buckinghamshire 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 enjoy their time at this friendly and welcoming pre-school. They settle quickly in the well-resourced rooms and have developed strong relationships with staff. The time taken by staff to help children settle when they arrive helps to promote children's feelings of being safe and their well-being. Children are well behaved and are happy and confident as they explore the environment. They build friendships and play well together. Children are confident to share their thoughts and feelings with staff. For example, they share that they are happy, and staff ask what has made them happy. Staff respond to children's requests and value their choices well.
The pre-school has good partnerships with parents. Parents report on the friendly, enthusiastic staff and how they go 'above and beyond' for all children who attend.
They share that their children are always eager and excited to attend.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to implement the curriculum intent more sharply to build on what individual children already know and raise the quality of education to a higher level n build on learning opportunities as they arise to extend children's understanding of making healthy choices.

Still missing for The Village Pre-Schools
- 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.
