Overall Experience

What a fantastic nursery this is. I'd recommend Little Cherubs to anybody looking for a safe, friendly, and supportive environment for their little ones. Our daughter started out in the baby room at just 10 months old and the staff were absolutely amazing at getting her settled in - which made my return

to work so much easier! She is now almost 2 and is absolutely thriving in the toddler room. We're always kept up to date with their day to day activities via the app, including a log of their sleep, nappies, and all of the delicious food that they've eaten. The staff really do go above and beyond with the activities that they set out for them! Our son is due to start there in Autumn this year and I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd want to send him.

Thank you for the amazing review! when we hear things like this from our parents, it makes us very proud of what we do. We are so looking forward to her baby brother starting with us too!!

Overall Experience

We have had a fantastic experience at Little Cherubs Day Nursery. My son attended the pre-school room and settled in very quickly which is a testament to the staff as he is quite apprehensive in new environments. I've seen him grow in confidence which has prepared him well for primary school.
The nursery's

facilities are excellent, and there are some great classes, celebrations and excursions organised by the nursery which my son really enjoyed.
I highly recommend Little Cherubs to any parent!

Thank you for such a glowing review, we look forward to your return in the new year with baby number 2!

Overall Experience

Little Cherubs Shortlands is a wonderful nursery with a true family feel. My three daughters went there over the course of 7 years and we couldn't have found a better nursery in the area! My youngest daughter started there at the age of 8 months and has progressed through toddler room and pre-school.

The staff in all rooms really care and pay attention to children's character- all three of mine were shy but have come out of their shell and thrived there through stimulating activities, kind care and attention!
Additional praise goes to management who ensure a strong family feel and that everything is run smoothly. The food is cooked on-site and is healthy and nutritious.
Thank you to everyone at Little Cherubs! We will be back next year!

Reply from Maggie Denton, Area Manager at Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool - Shortlands

Thank you for your heartfelt words, it means so much to us that our families feel included in their child's life at nursery. It was a true joy to have your daughters with us.

Overall Experience

This is an excellent nursery with longstanding staff that go out of their way to form meaningful relationships with the children.
My son started as a young baby and graduated at the end of pre-school. He was a challenging baby, but the staff persevered and built a close and loving relationship with

him. The baby room is small with very experienced staff (shout out to one staff member!). Having this level of care was much valued during lockdown when we had no access to people beyond our immediate family unit. As he grew older the team fostered his interests delivering far beyond what you might expect for a nursery/preschool.
Day-to-day experiences included specialist sports teachers, French teachers and dance teachers. I was amazed by what my son learnt from them. The nursery also delivers experiences for the kids and families like Christmas parties, Christmas nativity, trips to farms and forest school. They definitely went above and beyond exemplified by the graduation ceremony at the end.

Reply from Maggie Denton, Area Manager at Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool - Shortlands

Thank you, we loved having him with us, such a very special soul and everyone he met instantly bonded with him. We are so honoured to have made such an impact and know he will do great things in the future!

Lovely setting with very friendly staff members who truly care.
The staff prepare lots of stimulating activities throughout the day and the nursery invests in having external providers deliver a range of sessions.
My child is happy here and loves coming to nursery. I am an extremely happy parent.

Our daughter has been extremely happy and well taken care of here. She looks forward to going to the nursery and is very attached to her carers there. We've seen her develop leaps and bounds due to her time in the nursery. We can't recommend Little Cherubs enough!

Overall Experience

We couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. Our boy joined when he was just 18 months old and will be leaving this week as a kind, confident 4-year-old kid who is set up and so excited for big school. Over the years the fabulous team have supported us through dropping naps, toilet training and

the separation anxiety phases - calling us up after tough drop-offs to reassure us that he was fine (when we weren't!). They have such a fun approach to learning and endless creativity across both daily activities and the big events they have organised over the years. The communication is fantastic and the management team couldn't be more friendly. We have never felt the need to worry about his safety or happiness. And most importantly our son has loved his time there!

Overall Experience

Our 3-year-old son has been at Little Cherubs since he was 10 months old, we have always been happy with our choice to send him here, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.
Since the early days of his transition away from spending all his time with us, to navigating some challenging

behaviours of toddlerhood, I have always felt that he (and I) have been well supported by the staff.
The variety of food is brilliant, and the activities - both external people coming in and what they plan for them - are excellent, I always feel confident that his development is being well supported.
We've had positive experiences with all the staff members we have dealt with, and his safety and security have never been in question.
Thanks to all the team!

Our son has been attending Little Cherubs since he was a baby (he's now about to move up to the preschool room) and we're very happy to have chosen this nursery for him. The staff are caring and helpful, they get to know the children well and support them in their development as they progress through

the different age groups. Our son is clearly happy and engaged at nursery and he loves the weekly Yoga, Mandarin and Spanish classes.

Overall Experience

Our experience of Little Cherubs has been nothing short of exceptional. The staff are so engaged, caring and helpful. Thanks to this care and attention, our child is thriving socially and we are amazed by her general development during her time in the Little Learners room and in Pre-School. The staff

handled this transition between classes brilliantly and were instrumental in helping our child to become fully potty trained at the same time. This is not to mention the simple fact that our child is so happy there. I couldn't recommend Little Cherubs highly enough.

Overall Experience

My son has really thrived at this fantastic nursery. Staff are very caring and the management runs it all extremely well. Staff turnover is very low and my son has formed an incredible bond with his key worker, who we are very fond of and will miss dearly when he leaves for school. I've been particularly

impressed by how they have got my son ready and excited for school - support for parents on this front has been fantastic too. My son loves the food and leaves clean plates every day - it's all cooked onsite by the nursery cook and the menu is really impressive. Any niggles have been few and far between - anything raised has been taken seriously and addressed promptly. Great range of activities too (my son used some of his French on holidays). I really can't recommend this nursery enough.

Reply from Maggie Denton, Area Manager at Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool - Shortlands

Thank you for our positive comments, we are really sad to say goodbye to you and your son, he was a true joy to have as part of our 2024 class. Wishing you good luck at Big School!

We were recommended Little Cherubs by a friend and it has not disappointed, my son joined in June 2023 and is now in Little Learners and he absolutely loves it and settled in so quickly. The staff are really caring and approachable, you feel like you are leaving your child in safe hands. I can see in

my son's development that he is getting the right support and care that he needs. We are glad to have found a nursery that we love and that my son loves.

Overall Experience

My child has been at Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool almost six months and loves it there. The staff are caring, kind and straightforward. They have the most important job in the world, as far as I am concerned, so it's crucial that we have trust in them and have developed good relationships. The

nursery itself is welcoming and fun. On-site cook means food is always fresh, nutritious and varied. The menu is phenomenal! The nursery arranges lots of activities for parents including first aid training which was super useful. We visited other nurseries in the area and we knew straight away that Little Cherubs was the right one for us. We are very grateful to have found them.

My youngest son left Little Cherubs in September 2023, ready for ‘big school’. He has been nurtured, loved and cared for in his two years there and was totally prepared for the change ahead of him.
All of the staff and particularly his key staff members were so focused on him ahead of the big shift

to reception and provided all the tools to learn and understand the transition. He not only developed wonderful relationships but was so happy to play and learn every day, he ran inside barely glancing back. I highly recommend this setting and both of my sons have had wonderful experiences there.

Overall Experience

The family-run nature transcends through all of the rooms and you really get the sense that decisions are made with empathy and consideration towards each family’s personal situation. My son has additional needs and we received support every step of the way; the nursery went over and above to ensure

that reasonable adjustments were made to appropriately support my son – the care and concern is genuine and I doubt we would have received this personal touch elsewhere.
Trips include a local farm, Forest School and a Christmas pantomime. In-house events include the Christmas nativity, art evening and preschool graduation. Celebrated events include Easter, Halloween, Diwali and Christmas alongside a children's charity and walking week.
The nursery is open all year (except the Christmas week) with 3 annual staff training days. Parents are kept updated of their child’s development via the app, and it is always incredibly easy to get through to the team. Thank you Little Cherubs!

Little Cherubs Shortlands is an absolutely fantastic nursery which I would wholeheartedly recommend to any parents considering nurseries in the area. We sent both our boys to this nursery and although they are now in school, they still often talk about their time at Little Cherubs very fondly. We cannot

thank all the staff at Little Cherubs enough for being so wonderful, understanding, attentive and caring towards our boys during their time there. We miss you all!

Overall Experience

We were very sad to leave Little Cherubs Nursery as we were moving away.
My child joined the baby room at 8 months and we could not have been more reassured and happy with her settling into the nursery.
We were kept informed by the app and it had very thorough information daily about her number

of nappies, food and general updates about what she had been up to that week. We loved receiving these updates as they showed my child enjoying playing with her friends and nursery life.
The staff were extremely professional but also caring and loving of watching our daughter develop. They encouraged her to learn and grow in such a positive and educational way.
The nursery has helped my child with her social skills and speech and she is so happy to play independently and seek to learn through play, together with sharing with her friends and taking turns all vital for her development.
Little Cherubs started to feel like our extended family and we were sad to leave.

Reply from Maggie Denton, Area Manager at Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool - Shortlands

Our son was at Little Cherubs from 10 months until he left for reception (age 4). During that time he enjoyed great care and support from staff in the baby and toddler rooms and preschool. He always speaks fondly of the staff and is really well prepared for school now.
The staff plan and execute engaging

activities for the children, and it's always a joy to see what they get up to on the online log. I would highly recommend the nursery to all.
