What childcare usually costs in Cheshire West and Chester

What it is like to attend
Children flourish in this exceptionally well resourced, welcoming and homely nursery. They arrive eager to engage in activities and excitedly seek out their friends to share experiences with. Children's behaviour is exemplary. They display extremely high levels of well-being and engagement. Older children concentrate intently as they practise problem-solving in the water area. They persevere, building on the skills that they have previously learned to enable them to complete the task with little adult direction. For example, in the outdoor water area, the children independently find the way to fill up the water tray by connecting the water tube to the tap and turning it on.
Children are very kind and considerate towards each other and the friendly staff.
Children learn how to share & negotiate. For example, two children who want to play with the same resource are heard negotiating calmly over 'how to make it fair'.

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.
