Kids' Country Day Nursery
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Knutsford for children from birth to 8+, open 07:30 to 18:00, 5 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in June 2022. Open since 2014, with 120 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 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 and their families are at the heart of this welcoming nursery. Children happily and safely access the activities on offer and engage in purposeful learning.
Quiet chatter fills the air as children engage in conversations with their friends and staff. Babies thoroughly enjoy exploring a range of messy and sensory materials.
Toddlers show eagerness and enthusiasm as they discuss the smells of citrus fruit in the water tray. Older children use a range of tools safely to create and decorate models they have made from dough. Children are consistently motivated and display extremely positive attitudes to learning. They are keen to try new experiences and engage in meaningful play with their friends.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- focus staff development even more precisely, so that all teaching is always of the highest quality.

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.
