Abstract: Working within the recent formalism of Poisson-Riemannian geometry, we completely solve the case of generic spherically symmetric metric and spherically symmetric Poisson-bracket to find a unique answer for the quantum differential calculus, quantum metric and quantum Levi-Civita connection at semiclassical order $O(lambda)$. Here $lambda$ is the deformation parameter, plausibly the Planck scale. We find that $r,t,dr,dt$ are all forced to be central, i.e. undeformed at order $lambda$, while for each value of $r,t$ we are forced to have a fuzzy sphere of radius $r$ with a unique differential calculus which is necessarily nonassociative at order $lambd{a}^2$. We give the spherically symmetric quantisation of the FLRW cosmology in detail and also recover a previous analysis for the Schwarzschild black hole, now showing that the quantum Ricci tensor for the latter vanishes at order $lambda$. The quantum Laplace-Beltrami operator for spherically symmetric models turns out to be undeformed at order $lambda$ while more generally in Poisson-Riemannian geometry we show that it deforms to [ square f+{lambdaover 2}omega^{alpha�eta}({ m Ric}^gamma{}_alpha-S^gamma{}_{;alpha})(widehat abla_�eta d f)_gamma + O(lambda^2)] in terms of the classical Levi-Civita connection $widehatabla$, the contorsion tensor $S$, the Poisson-bivector $omega$ and the Ricci curvature of the Poisson-connection that controls the quantum differential structure. The Majid-Ruegg spacetime $[x,t]=lambdax$ with its standard calculus and unique quantum metric provides an example with nontrivial correction to the Laplacian at order $lambda$.
