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
Children are happy and safe in this calm and welcoming environment. They separate easily from parents and settle quickly into the activities on offer. Children engage in a range of learning opportunities with support and encouragement from knowledgeable staff. Babies babble and vocalise in response to their favourite stories and songs. Toddlers giggle excitedly as they play parachute games. Older children freely explore features of the natural environment. They hunt for ants and spiders in the trees outside and observe their habitats. Children help to plant vegetables and herbs in the garden. They nurture and water the seeds to help them grow.
Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. Well-organised routines help children to know what is expected of them. Children help to set rules for the room and use photographs to help them know what is happening next. Children learn important social skills, such as sharing and turn-taking. They learn to respect others and to be polite, using manners and kind words. Children learn about emotions and how to manage their feelings and emotions. They make effective use of 'calm spaces' and sensory resources to help them to regulate their own behaviour.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- support staff to understand how to extend learning opportunities to further enhance children's individual learning.

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.
