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 East
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Cheshire East 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 are extremely confident at this nursery. They have an eagerness to learn and enjoy being challenged in their learning. The expectations for children's vocabulary and understanding are very high. Children enjoy the challenge of being introduced to words, such as 'hydrophobic' and 'hydrophilic', as part of their learning about floating and sinking. They experiment with making their own boats and test out different materials for their absorbency.
All parents are exceptionally pleased with the progress that their children make at nursery. They speak highly of the passionate and dedicated staff and management team. Parents receive regular feedback about their children and feel well supported to continue children's learning at home. Children's home life and culture is celebrated in this nursery. Staff encourage parents and children to share their experiences from home. This gives children an introduction to a wealth of different experiences, other than their own, and prepares them for future learning.
Children's behaviour is exceptional. They are gently reminded about nursery rules.

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.
