Our daughter joined Cherubins at 9 months and settled in really quickly. She is 18 months old now and loves going to nursery, she even runs to greet her key workers on arrival. She enjoys the food, the outside facilities and the endless toys. The people however are what makes Cherubins such a fantastic
place. Two staff members in particular and many many more make it a very happy experience for our daughter. Would certainly recommend this nursery.

My both children went to Cherubins and left in September for school.
Very caring and accommodating team members from unqualified staff all the way to managements.
I never felt uncomfortable when I was dropping them.
I always recommend them to everyone that I know.

Loving, warm and welcoming nursery. Our little boy has been going to Cherubins Day Nursery for two years and loves it. He's 3 now, and often suprises us with the things he has learnt at nursery, such as alphabet, shapes, numbers and tracing. We are very happy here!

Cherubins Day Nursery are amazing! The staff in the baby room are so kind and take beautiful care of our child! They make sure her needs are always met and cater to any specific requests we make IE, sleep routine, etc! in our first full week our child turned very ill and the nursery gave her the most
incredible care, and followed up daily to check on her recovery. I trust the staff and know our child is safe and happy with them. Her development and confidence have also developed so quickly since starting, it is just wonderful to see. Thank you to all at Cherubins, particularly the baby room.

My daughter started nursery at the age of 10 months. The staff are all super helpful and supportive and really do care about the little ones' needs. I am very happy with the facilities, activities and especially the outdoor space. My daughter is super happy going there and is waving me goodbye every
day as she can't wait to play with all her friends and the toys there.

Three of my children have now attended Cherubins Day Nursery so I'm clearly satisfied with the care! My children are confident and sociable. The activities the nursery does with the children are great fun which assists with learning through play. My children all enjoyed their days and the staff are
good fun and easy to communicate with.

My child started nursery from the age of one year. She has grown and developed into a bright and confident child. Cherubins has played a significant part in this. The staff have been very supportive and encouraging. Good communication between the staff and us. I am very happy and grateful for all the
care that the staff have given to my child.

A very welcoming nursery. In the space of a few months, my daughter has grown in confidence. She has learned so much and is super excited for every nursery day, to see both her friends and staff. The staff go above and beyond to ensure the child and parent feel safe and happy with the day to day and
any special activities that are going on.

Cherubins has been the most underrated and supportive nursery. Incredible setting and even more wonderful staff. Each so caring and have been amazing in looking after and developing our son since he started here when he was ten months old. We feel incredibly likely to have had a place at Cherubins for
our son and will be very sad to say goodbye when he leaves to start at school in September.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.726)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.726) out of 10 for Cherubins Day Nursery - Chestnut Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.726 for Cherubins Day Nursery - Chestnut Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 321 Ratings = 4.726

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cherubins Day Nursery - Chestnut Lodge is based on 27 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 107 number of registered child places is 21.4, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
