Wingle-Tye Pre-School Ltd
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A pre-school in Hornchurch 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 Good by Ofsted in December 2023. Open since 1992, with 24 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.

What it is like to attend
Staff greet children and their parents warmly when they arrive at this pre-school.
Relationships are warm and caring. Children settle quickly because they know the routines of the pre-school well. An effective key-person system ensures that staff are aware of children's interests and that the activities they provide engage them quickly. Staff plan a curriculum to support all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to make progress in their learning and development.
Children are happy at the pre-school. They behave well because staff teach them the rules and boundaries of the pre-school. They like to be helpful by washing their plates and cups after snack and putting rubbish in the correct recycling container.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To meet the requirements of the early years foundation stage, the provider must: improve understanding of information to be notified to Ofsted about any new directors of the company to ensure suitability checks are able to be carried out. (by 29/12/2023)
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: - provide more opportunities to further enhance children's mathematical knowledge concepts, such as counting backwards and subtraction n ensure all staff consider the learning intentions for children from the activities they provide.

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.
