Overall experience has been fantastic for my daughter. Her key worker and other staff have all contributed to her development and she has loved going every day for the past two years! Only real negative for me would be picking her up from outside, I understand that since Covid things changed, but I
would prefer to come inside to collect her. Well done CherryTown though, my wife and I are really glad to have had our daughter here!

Both our girls have always been excited to go into nursery and have been welcomed with smiles and hugs. They always leave well fed, smiling and a lot cleaner than I expect! There have been times when management/inquiries have been confusing or unclear. However, they have always been happy to answer
my questions with patience and respect. I wholeheartedly trust the nursery and the staff to care for and grow my girls' social, educational and academic intelligence. Thank you Cherry Town Nursery.

Our two girls moved to CherryTown Nursery in December 2021 when we moved into the area. Both girls absolutely love the days that they spend at the nursery and always walk in smiling and excited to see everyone.
The staff are interested in the children and keep parents informed of what they have done
in nursery via an app and at the end-of-day handover.
On the few occasions that there have been small child behaviour issues, these have been dealt with professionally and a joint way of moving forwards (which was generally parent-led) was agreed upon and kept.
I highly recommend the nursery.

What I like most about CherryTown Nursery is how personal the nursery is - feeling like you are dropping your child off to your family is how they make us feel. The other thing that CherryTown are great at is the variety of activities - there's something new almost every day which is great for our child's
development which is so important to us.

CherryTown has been absolutely amazing with my son from day 1. As a pandemic baby he struggled with speech and socialisation, but the staff took it all in their stride and before long he was flourishing. He's now in the pre-school room, and though there have been some challenges the whole team have
been so helpful and supportive in making sure he has the best care possible. I couldn't say enough good things about the nursery and the team there, they've made such an amazing difference to my son's life, and mine.

We were interested in CherryTown Nursey because they have a great reputation in the community and a core of long-serving staff, signalling a happy and content team. Their communication was prompt and competent and on visiting, staff and children appeared happy and engaged. I've found the teachers to
be responsive and sensitive and management thoughtful and creative in providing stimulating early years education and care. My kid is growing to become kind and independent and expresses his needs, and those of others, thoughtfully and confidently. A real credit to the efforts of his teachers.

I can not praise CherryTown Nursery enough for how happy my little boy comes home after nursery. He has the best time. Has been encouraged to explore and be himself no matter how much energy he has.
Lovely menus and the events that take place and the celebrations of Mother’s Day, Valentine's, Christmas
are so lovely and it’s nice for parents to be involved and get to see what their kids get up to via the app.
I was so nervous when putting my little one into nursery, I didn’t trust anyone. But meeting his key worker and the rest of the team made me feel at ease. The manager is always available to chat to, along with the room leader who’s lovely as well. Every time there’s an event everyone seems to know my little boy and I’m just elated. I can’t recommend the nursey enough!

I highly recommend CherryTown Nursery. My son loves it there, I can see he’s enjoyed himself from the photos they share daily and the fact he wants to go back in. The staff are very caring and attentive. The environment is safe and clean and since joining his knowledge and confidence have increased
so much. It was such a relief to have found CherryTown, it made getting back to work so much easier to know that he was happy and well looked after.

Both my children (my son, 2017-2021, and daughter, 2022-now) have loved being at CherryTown Nursery. They have both grown to be kind and friendly kids and I believe it's because of the values they have learned while at the nursery. Their confidence in themselves and the awareness they have of others
is also something I am proud they have learned.
Also, my son, when he started school, had no problems getting started and I believe it's because the team at CherryTown prepared him. They also still ask after him which, to me, evidences how much they care! I would highly recommend it.

My first child started at CherryTown Nursery almost five years ago and my youngest still attends the nursery. I cannot rate the nursery enough. The staff are so friendly and will go above and beyond to help you and your child. You can tell the staff genuinely care so much for the children. This shows
in every single thing they do. All the meals are made fresh and the older children sometimes get to help make the food. The menu is well thought out, giving the children a healthy, balanced diet with lots of variety and my children often tell me they like nursery’s food more than mine so I gather they are delicious. My children have been/are so happy at the nursery and they learn so much. The nurses go above and beyond and put on extra social activities for children and parents, like grandparents' afternoon tea, Father’s Day sports day and Mother’s Day tea party. The level of thought and attention to detail put into everything they do is incredible.

Both of my children have been at CherryTown Nursery since they were 1. As were both of their cousins.
CherryTown has been a fantastic nursery for both of my girls, providing education and care of the highest standard.
They have made my return to work seamless.
I simply cannot fault them.

Our son transitioned from little learners to pre-school. We thought he may struggle but the staff at CherryTown Nursery have done an amazing job in getting him settled. They don't rush and take things slow. Listen to the children and look after them to no fault. Our son has learned so much in the past
three months and it's all down to CherryTown. The food is excellent and a perfect balance of healthy and yummy. Their days are always full and our son loves going.

My daughter has a great bond with her key assistant. This shows a lot throughout the week when she is not in nursery. To have this big of impact really shows how well she is looked after and how happy my daughter is when she's spending her time in nursery. This is a great relief for myself as it puts
my mind at rest knowing she's having a great time.

My daughter started CherryTown Nursery at 11 months old and within a week of being there, she was settled. She has now been going for almost two years and absolutely loves it! Through every stage, the nursery has supported her development and I can honestly say she wouldn’t be as confident and developed
as she is today if it wasn’t for the staff and all aspects of the nursery, thank you!

My grandson has been attending this setting for just over 2 years. He loves going and even wants to go at weekends.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for CherryTown Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.893 for CherryTown Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (420 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 468 Ratings = 4.893

  • 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 CherryTown Nursery is based on 39 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 39 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.
