for the local pre-school. I really want this job as I am loosing all my mindees in about 6 weeks, so the job will come just at the right time. I haven't been to an interview for years. I am not sure what sort of questions they will ask. Ahh help!!

Depends on what position you are applying for.
Generally knowledge about the EYFS, obs and next steps will be one. You'll be a keyperson to a number of kids so it's how you deal with parents, settling in new kids, parents concerns etc.
Safeguarding children is usually a priority so knowledge of what to do if you suspect a case...noting, dating timing, parents answers etc etc.
Good luck.

I was on a pre-school committee last year and we interviewed several candidates and I think it's all about being friendly and having common sense.
Just remember to smile

Good luck!
