The Cheshire Day Nursery @ Winwick
from Lewis E (Father of Child) published on 19 March 2025

Overall Experience

£30 a day for food... for a 1 year old. Just a reminder, all nurseries receiving government funding must:
- Be completely transparent about any additional charges when a parent first takes up their child's free place, for example, for those parents opting to purchase additional hours or additional

services.
- Deliver the free entitlements consistently, so that all children within a setting accessing any of the free entitlements receive the same quality and access to provision, regardless of whether they choose to pay for optional hours, services, meals or consumables.
- Ensure that all parents, including disadvantaged families, have fair access to a free place, which must be delivered completely free of charge and do not charge parents "top-up" fees (any difference between a provider's normal charge to parents and the funding they receive from the local authority to deliver free places). The Quality of the teaching is great though.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!! Our daughter has leapt forward in confidence, language and ability since starting in Blossoms in January 2022. She is now in Chestnuts and thriving. We are delighted with the staff, how much they care for her and how effective the communication with parents is.

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending the nursery since September 2024. He has thoroughly enjoyed meeting the wonderful staff and making friends. He has come on so much in terms of his development and looks forward to each day. The facilities are great and the staff are very professional, friendly and attentive.

I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone. Well done on the recent Ofsted.

Overall Experience

We have had 3 children go through the Cheshire Day Nursery at Thelwall over the last 6 years and have been blown away at how great the staff have been with all of our children. Our youngest is super happy and confident going in every day and has learnt so much from the staff and facilities. It is such

a safe and transparent place for children to go, explore, learn and grow. I would recommend to everyone.

Overall Experience

My son attends The Cheshire Day Nursery at Thelwall and has been coming since 8 months old. He absolutely loves nursery and kindergarten where he is currently based now. He has learnt so much during his time at nursery and flourished in his development. All the staff are brilliant and they all give

the home away from home experience and make you feel like family. The nursery app is updated daily so you know exactly what they have done during the day and they upstate you with all information including any stay and plays and festivities happening in nursery. Brilliant nursery and really happy with our experience. 10/10

Overall Experience

Both my children have attended Footsteps and I could not recommend them enough. The service they give, the care they have and the skills all staff bring are amazing. My daughter who attends now could not love them more, she is so happy and even learning Spanish at age 3! What more could a parent ask

for?

Reply from Carol Holden, Nursery Manager at Footsteps Wilmslow

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your children are a real credit to you, and it's lovely that your eldest still likes to come into nursery to pick his little sister up. Even when children leave to go to school they are still very much a part of our Footsteps Family, we really do take each and every child into our hearts

Overall Experience

The Cheshire Day Nursery are outstanding, especially the Latchford Nursery as my little boy attends there, has been going for around 2 months now and he loves it there! Never seen him so happy when I pick him up in the evening, is starting to love me dropping him off also, which is amazing! Given he

was only 9 months old, the transition was extremely difficult but The Cheshire Day have been amazing in helping in that, shout out to three members of staff in particular in the baby room!

Reply from Sarah Meehan, Administrative Assistant at The Cheshire Day Nursery Latchford & Kindergarten

Thank you so much for your review Amy, it's wonderful to hear such lovely feedback! We are extremely happy that your little boy loves spending time in the nursery and that you are very happy with the care received by our staff.

Overall Experience

Our son has recently started at The Cheshire Day Nursery Thelwall in the Babies room. Every member of staff we have been in contact with so far has been fantastic - caring, happy and attentive to both our son and our queries. Our son was able to attend various setting days which really helped us all.

We are given attentive feedback at every handover and pick-up. All facilities have been clean and safe. Our son has only been attending for 2 months but we already have crafts and pictures as keepsakes. We couldn't be happier!

Overall Experience

Footsteps have looked after our 2 boys since 2019. We trust them completely and we are so happy with the care they have shown to our children. All of the staff are delightful and they often create and tailor activities to suit the interest of your children to support their learning. We would recommend

them to anyone and we are so sad to be leaving.

Reply from Carol Holden, Nursery Manager at Footsteps Wilmslow

Thank you so much for your kind words, but also thank you so much for trusting us with the care of both boys and choosing Footsteps all those years ago. It has been an absolute delight, and both boys are a complete credit to you. You will all be missed, and if you are ever driving past please call in.

he is developing. Thank you willows!

Overall Experience

Absolutely thrilled for our son to have a place at this wonderful nursery. He settled in so quickly all due to the staff making such an effort and being so friendly and approachable. When I initially looked around I described it as 'the Mary Poppins of nurseries' and I totally stand by that now three

months later. I don't have anything but positive words to say about Footsteps.

Reply from Carol Holden, Nursery Manager at Footsteps Wilmslow

Thank you so much for your kind words, it is very much appreciated. You made our day when you called us the "Mary Poppins of Nurseries" and delighted that we have continued to live up to your expectations.

Overall Experience

I have experience of all the rooms at Headstart in Upton and I would recommend the nursery to others. The nursery employs great staff who are helpful and kind. They always do fun activities (including sport from external provider, forest school, trips out to library etc) and lots of outdoor play. The

outdoor areas are great, with age appropriate climbing equipment and forest school. There is soft play equipment on site which is used now and then. Sleep in baby room is in an adjoined room which I think helps the babies to sleep well. The staff keep the children safe and have a safe collection and drop off system. Any queries you have are answered. We have been happy and would recommend the nursery.

My daughter is in Chestnuts' Room at Headstart and she loves it. She often talks about nursery at home and sometimes asks to go in on her days off. I have seen huge leaps in her development especially speech and language since coming to nursery. Her confidence has grown too, thanks to such a great team!

Overall Experience

I have two children who attend this nursery aged 11 months and 3.5 years old. I have found that every member of the team has been engaged with development and supportive.
The team here are creative and always sharing new ideas. Time is always taken to ensure that after a day a thorough handover is

given. Both of my children are happy and I have a great trust that they are being looked after well.
I would absolutely recommend the nursery to other parents who want a family feel environment where each child is treated as an individual.
The setting is in a great location and a lovely building where each room is safe, secure and clean. The meals provided are freshly made and change seasonally. Activities that the children take part in are great and my 3.5 year old loved forest school.

Our experience with Seedlings and Willows has been fantastic. The staff are great, and really helped our son settle in. Our son loves going there everyday and enjoys all the activities and we can see his development. The admin side of things could be improved with regards to response times and queries

but this is a minor point.

Overall Experience

Our daughter started at High Hopes at 7 months old, I am beyond impressed with everything that High Hopes offers; pleasant staff, friendly, approachable and all in all a great place to be. Our daughter, loves every second that she is at nursery, and the girls have taken her under their wing, I feel

so comfortable that we have the best of the best looking after our little girl. The manager is very approachable, and the staff can't do enough to help. Couldn't think of a better nursery to send our daughter to especially following a poor start at another local nursery. High Hopes is a very safe and engaging environment for our little one and she has come on leaps and bounds since starting.
