Berwick Road Day Nursery Limited
GoodBirth to 5Open for decades
A day nursery in Ellesmere Port for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in October 2023. Open since 2023, with 60 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 Cheshire West and Chester
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cheshire West and Chester 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
Leaders and staff help children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to learn and grow together at this friendly nursery.
Children learn the curriculum well. Staff help them to develop skills in relation to teamwork. Children learn to move their bodies when, for example, the nursery's sports coach sets out an adventurous rope trail for them.
Children think carefully about their learning for the day, helped by skilful staff. For example, staff creatively use a 'planning bus' to encourage pre-school children to plan which activity they will engage in. Children learn to make meaningful choices about their own learning.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- identify more carefully the essential knowledge that children will learn so that staff are clearer about the purpose of learning activities n strengthen staff knowledge about the sounds that letters represent so that children hear the correct pronunciation of letter sounds n improve staff expertise to help babies to cope with brief absences of their key person.

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.
