Little Leigh Out Of Schoolclub
OutstandingBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Northwich for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Outstanding by Ofsted in July 2022. Open since 2015, with 40 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.

What it is like to attend
From the moment they arrive at the club, children's care and learning is tailored to their individual needs. Pre-school children are sensitively supported to part from parents and carers. They demonstrate an unmistakeable sense of security.
Children show that they are ready to make thoughtful decisions about what to do first. Pre-school children work together to negotiate and act out rich storylines. For example, a closed door is cleverly incorporated into extended, active role play.
Children say, 'Look at that big sign. It says road closed.' This demonstrates children's well-developed knowledge of the world. They know that symbols and written words carry meaning. Two-year-old children are busy and confident. They excitedly roll little cars through a long, sloping tube. Then they race as fast they can to meet the cars at the bottom. This promotes children's stamina and coordination. All children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make excellent progress. They benefit, at all times, from staff's deep, expertly applied knowledge of how children learn.

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.
