A day nursery in Neston for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 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 They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask.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 January 2025. Open since 2003, with 85 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
All children, including very young babies, demonstrate that they are happy, safe and secure in this welcoming nursery. Any children new to the nursery settle quickly because of the routines that have been established and the effective keyperson system. Staff work closely with parents to tailor the settling-in period for each individual child. As a result, children separate from their parents with ease and quickly settle into this warm and nurturing nursery.
The nursery has constructed a curriculum that is ambitious and sequenced to build on what children already know and can do. All children make good progress from their starting points. The nursery has ensured that the curriculum addresses all areas of learning. As such, children enjoy a rich set of experiences that keep them engaged and interested in what they are learning. Children are regularly introduced to new words, rhymes, books and artists. For example, they learn to use a range of media to create pictures in the style of the artists they have been learning about.
Staff have created opportunities in each room to promote children's independence.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- strengthen the existing arrangements for staff supervision so that leaders are able to ensure that staff retain the knowledge that they have gained and apply it effectively in their practice.

- 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
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.
