What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
30 hours of funded childcare per week for working parents of children 9 months and older; 15 hours per week for 2-year Early Learning Funding and 3-year universal funding.
Worth knowing. For every funded session, parents pay for meals, snacks and consumables; children eligible for funding schemes are charged for additional hours over the scheme; parents must reconfirm eligibility via HMRC every 3 months; consumables charge waived for 2 or less funded hours per day.
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.

- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
What to ask them
Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date. The rest is in no dataset anywhere. Either way it is worth ten minutes on the phone.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- How do you apply my funded hours? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Do you have a place for a child of my age now? 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.
