Trinity Pre School
OutstandingBirth to 5Open for decades
A pre-school in Romford for children from birth to 5, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in March 2020, though that is 6 years ago now. Open since 2001, with 35 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 Havering
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Havering 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 thrive in this highly engaging environment. They smile and laugh amid a buzz of conversation with their friends and staff. Staff are excellent role models.
Their kind, gentle nature is mirrored by the children, who behave with compassion and care for one another. A well-thought-out 'buddy' system and 'friendship stop'
help children consider one another's feelings and build relationships. Staff know children incredibly well and ensure a warm welcome greets all on arrival. This helps children to settle quickly and form positive attachments with key persons. Staff skilfully deliver an ambitious curriculum. They organise the environment to include focused activities and encourage children to make choices about their own play. It is evident that children are highly motivated to learn, when they choose familiar activities such as a dice and threading game. They take turns rolling dice and counting flowers as they thread. Children are competent learners who seek to discover more. Additional funding is used to support children to attend the setting regularly and benefit from the exceptional quality of education delivered by the highly skilled staff. The provider's vision for every child to make the best possible progress is abundantly clear. This has a significant impact on children's learning and they flourish within this setting.

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.
