Trinity Early Learners
GoodBirth to 8+Open for decades
A pre-school in Loughborough 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 June 2023. Open since 1975, 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 Leicestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Leicestershire 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
Staff greet children at the door with warm smiles and a friendly hello. The children arrive eager and confident to play and learn. Staff support the children to play games with their friends, teaching them to share, take turns and work together as a team. Children laugh and giggle as they take part in parachute games, working together to bounce beanbags off the parachute. Staff praise children for their efforts and achievements.
Staff ensure that children have the opportunity to play and exercise in the fresh air each day. Children practise their physical skills as they climb over an A frame and complete an obstacle course. Staff closely supervise children as they take appropriate risks, being on hand should a child need help or support to climb or balance. Staff encourage the children in their care to be inquisitive and confident learners. The children delight as they find insects in the garden. Staff foster children's love of insects, talking to them about the creatures they have found, encouraging the children to share what they know about them. Staff support the children to count and use number in their play and they introduce children to mathematical language. Children confidently count the number of spots on a ladybird and talk about its size.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support children to use their home language at the setting, during every day play and learning activities n encourage parents to support their children's learning and development at home n help children to learn about the benefits of healthy eating, and good hygiene practices.

Still missing for Trinity Early Learners

- 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.
