Where this came from
The outlined line is the one the price was taken from.
Funded hours
Some 2 year olds and all 3-4 year olds are eligible for at least 15 hours of free childcare provision per week as part of a government-funded Nursery Education Grant (NEG). The NEG increases to 30 hours for working families the term after your child turns 3.
Worth knowing. Concessions may be made for children in receipt of a 2 year old grant.
What childcare usually costs in South Gloucestershire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in South Gloucestershire 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 demonstrate that they feel safe and secure at the pre-school. They form trusting relationships with the nurturing staff and settle in quickly. The supportive environment and tailored curriculum that staff provide helps all children to progress well. Staff support children with additional learning needs and those in receipt of additional funding. Staff adapt the curriculum effectively to ensure that all children make good progress. Staff observe and assess children's learning. They use their insights to plan activities based on children's interests and next steps for learning.
For instance, staff promote number recognition by burying numbers in soil for children to find with diggers. This excites children as they proudly exclaim, 'I've found number 1!' Children develop their social skills as staff encourage them to work collaboratively as they build with bricks.
Overall, children respond well to staff and show positive attitudes towards learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide children with more consistent behaviour expectations to help them make positive behaviour choices and fully benefit from the learning experiences staff provide n support staff to enhance their teaching skills to help them to extend and challenge children's learning as much as possible to maximise the progress children make.

Still missing for Tytherington Pre-School
- 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
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- Is £6.00 an hour still the rate? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
