Tiny Tots Pre School
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A pre-school in Nottingham 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 March 2023. Open since 1994, with 26 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 Nottinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Nottinghamshire 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 enjoy their time at this welcoming playgroup. On arrival, they access a wide range of activities that interest them and ignite their curiosity. Children develop their small-muscle skills as they explore play dough. They squash and roll the play dough into cake cases and place candles on top. Children are encouraged by staff to develop their mathematical skills as they think about their age and put the corresponding number of candles on top of the cakes they have made.
Children use their imaginations as they go on a bear hunt and pretend to look for bears. Staff take on board this interest and introduce the story 'We're Going on a
Bear Hunt'. Children explore the environment with magnifying glasses. They then use their listening skills as they gather for the story and join in with the familiar words and actions with enthusiasm.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to develop their interactions with children further to extend children's vocabulary and thinking skills n help staff to better understand how to maximise learning based on the interests of children as they play - refine the programme of support to staff to raise their understanding and confidence in delivering strong educational 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.
