A day nursery in Nantwich for children from birth to 5, open 8am to 6pm. They take the funded hours. They do not publish prices, so ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in April 2024. Open since 2016, with 30 places.
What it costs
Prices change without notice. Treat these as what to ask about, not a quote.
Funded hours
15 hours per week for 38 weeks a year for all children the term after their second birthday.
Worth knowing. The full entitlement must be taken over at least three sessions over three days a week; can be spread over the 50 weeks we are open (11.5 hours per week); £9 consumable charge for a full day (£6 for lunch and morning snack and a £3 for tea and afternoon snack); packed sugar-free food can be brought in instead.
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 settled and happy at this small and friendly nursery. They benefit greatly from the challenging curriculum that the manager has devised. For example, children learn how to look after the nursery's pet fish and guinea pigs tenderly. This helps children to develop a caring attitude towards living creatures.
Additionally, staff help children to learn where some of the food that they eat comes from. For instance, children collect eggs that Woody and Buzz, the nursery's hens, have laid. Staff then help children to use these eggs in cooking activities.
Through the nursery's well-thought-out curriculum, staff help children to become very keen learners.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- improve the implementation of the curriculum for communication and language so that staff understand how children learn language to support children's vocabulary even further - help staff to consider more carefully the individual needs of the children when taking part in mixed-age group activities.

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Some of this is above, from the setting or from parents, and it can go out of date.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.
- 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.
