Countess of Chester Day Nursery and Preschool

"My Daughter started in September 2024 and the team went above and beyond to ensure she settled in and since then she has absolutely thrived in the baby room. The resources the nursery have are great and the team are constantly setting up new activities with new themes for the children to enjoy."
(Amy, Parent - Daynurseries.co.uk)

A welcoming and enriching nursery in Countess of Chester Hospital

Handily located in the hospital grounds, our convenient, purpose-built, nursery will provide a nurturing environment for little ones from birth to 5 years old. Your little one will marvel at the array of activities designed by our highly motivated, dedicated team to inspire every stage and age.

A 'Bright Beginning' for Every Child

Designed by our Early Years specialists, your little one will get the best start to their schooling life through our enriching and wellbeing focused Bright Beginnings Curriculum.

Building on the foundations of the government's EYFS curriculum, it combines a wide range of activities to nurture and develop the skills your child needs to flourish and reach their full potential. This holistic yet personal approach supports each child's development and progress - whether that's moving rooms or preparing them for school.

Age-Appropriate Outdoors Fun

Your little one can access the large outdoor space from every room, so they can explore nature when they want, learning from our vegetable garden and allotment. Your preschooler can also enjoy a separate outside space specially designed to suit to their developmental stage.

Onsite Hospital Location

The nursery is located on the Countess of Chester Hospital. Entering the hospital (via A5116), follow the directions to Bowmere Hospital and pass the staff car park C & D. The nursery will be on the left.

All-Inclusive Food & Care

Nutritionally balanced meals are prepared using fresh ingredients by our onsite chef. We hold a 5* EHO rating for food safety and hygiene.

Necessities such as snacks, wipes, nappies, creams and formula are provided, so there is less to pack on those busy mornings.

Fee Calculator

Our calculator enables you to estimate your basic fees BEFORE childcare funding is applied. We’ve taken this approach as funding is dependent on your own very individual situation, how old your child is, where you live, whether you’re working and so on.

Our comprehensive funding guides provide guidance on what funding you’re likely to be eligible for, we can send this to you after you’ve estimated your fees.

When you visit us, we can also help you understand your options and work out what your net fees will be after any childcare funding is taken into account.

Estimate your fees

Oops! We appear to be having a few technical challenges! Our team is working hard to get our fee calculator back up and running soon as soon as possible. Thanks for bearing with us.

In the meantime, if you need some answers or to book a nursery visit, then please call us on 01244567719, our friendly team is here to help.
