New nursery - Cheadle, Cheshire

[anchovies]

A very long shot but does anybody know anything about a new nursery that is being built in Cheadle, from what I've heard it's near John Lewis?

[Tinker]

No, but shall watch this space.

I have seen it it is on the A34 just before you get to the roundabout for JL ... there is a new office block.... I drive past it every day think it is openening in September they are looking for staff don't know who owns it though

[anchovies]

Don't suppose you know what it's called mancmum? It's supposed to be a state of the art one that cost a fortune. I think the owner won business woman of the year and got a load of grants towards it?

[katierocket]

it's called Kids Allowed. I know someone who is sending their DD there when it opens in Sep

[mancmum]

just found the website!!

[mancmum]

Sounds amazing!! Freedom nights, parents concierge, a shop.... I must have more kids so I can go there!!

[anchovies]

Thanks katierocket!

In case anyone else is interested this is their website.

[anchovies]

Too slow!!! - on the phone to them making an appointment to go and have a look!

Perfect as I start work in September!

[homemama]

I just phoned too. They asked if I heard from mumsnet as they'd had 5 calls last 10mins! ha ha!

[Tinker]

Blimey. Fees? Sorry to be blunt.

[katierocket]

tinker ?

[Tinker]

kr - fees for the nursery. Sorry, about vague message

[katierocket]

oh I see - you're asking what the fees are?
I thought you were saying "have you seen how high the fees are?"

[homemama]

Tinker, they wouldn't discuss fees over the phone. They said fees info would be in the pack!

[Tinker]

Oops. Am typing quickly, scared the baby will wake up. Yes, does anyone know what the fees are? Out of interest.

[katierocket]

HA! that means they must be high!

[Tinker]

Ah! Thanks. Just being nosey really.

[Tinker]

Exactly kr.

[homemama]

I've asked for a pack so I'll post them on here when all has been revealed!

[anchovies]

Well the prices are as expected!

£174.25 for a full time place
£41.00 full day
£23.50 half day

£100 reservation fee

Blimey!

[homemama]

How does this compare? Is this expensive? I ask because I've never done the nursery thing before and I haven't received any other packs yet to compare.
DH and I have made an app. to go see it but no point in paying just cause its the glossiest!

[anchovies]

Its almost double the price of others near us (stockport)! So yes pretty expensive!

Am going to see it anyway though, we only need two half sessions so not bad!

[homemama]

Thanks Anchovies. Maybe I shouldn't go and see it as DH thinks I'm an advertiser's dream! I'm already being swayed by the 'sensory theatre'
It will be difficult to get a proper feel of the staff though, without kids there.
Our appointment is Tue so I'll post back for everyone with details.

[mancmum]

same price as most in manchester or near me anyway!! Which nurseries are £400 a month in Stockport -- useful to know!!

[anchovies]

I'm going tuesday too!
