My daughter loves it here! We initially chose CherryTown because the staff really get involved with the children, playing with them rather than just leaving them to it. It's not just babysitting, they care and nurture all their children. The facilities are great! Soft play shed! They provide food, nappies,
creams, everything at a reasonable price. It's just great.

My grandchildren have been attending this nursery for 3 years and it has been absolutely lovely.
Before Covid was a thing they would include grandparents day in their celebrations and we would be invited in for a tea party with the children. This year although we couldn’t go in we still got made a
card by our grandchildren.
The team are all really lovely and very professional. I particularly like how the team is varying in ages and have a lot of extremely experienced staff who also have their own children.

Thank you for your lovely words. We have missed doing our tea parties this year but hopefully, we will be able to do them again in the future.

CherryTown has a very amazing team that makes the whole experience super easy for parents and children. The team is welcoming, flexible, always ready to help and go an extra mile. My child is super happy there and only in a couple of months, she has learnt so much.
I am a pre-school teacher and I have
been in different settings, I can say from personal experience that these ladies would be the best for your children's development and care.

Reply from Sarah Richards, Manager at CherryTown Nursery

Thank you for your review. We are glad you are happy with how your child is doing. We love seeing the children learn something new through the different resources we have and the activities we set up for them.

Our daughter recently broke her leg, we were particularly worried about what would happen in the daycare setting. Having made arrangements to take leave around the 3-6 week wait we contacted Cherrytown to inform them. The management and staff at Cherrytown were fantastic in their response and immediately
asked if she was okay and how could they be of assistance where possible. Then a specialized Risk Assessment Plan was put together for her, accommodating the broken limb. During the uncertainty (COVID-19 and the likes of lockdowns) Cherrytown staff have been nothing short of fantastic in the day-to-day communication and specialized attention shown towards us. Taking on the additional responsibility and reassuring us that they are the professionals (yes, yes they are) and will manage it just fine. Manage it they did and our princess is getting back to her usual self. To all the staff involved, words fail to express our gratitude for all the care you take daily in caring for our baby.

Reply from Sarah Richards, Manager at CherryTown Nursery

Thank you for your kind review. We are glad we could support you and continue to care for your daughter the best we could after her accident at home and are pleased to see her making a good recovery. Her cast didn't stop her from having fun and taking part in the many activities we do throughout the day. We are pleased you are all so happy here.

We adore this nursery and the staff. They can't do enough for our son. The level of care and kindness is so heartwarming and the smile on our son's face when we drop him in says it all really. We will recommend CherryTown Nursery over and over again to friends and family. The app also provides so much
comfort and you don't feel like you are missing out on development or big milestones because the staff take the time to capture magic moments and the daily diary is so lovely to read and gets me through my day.


We love the fact there is a kitchen and all the food is made on-site and any dietary requirements are met without hesitation. We can't thank you enough for what you have done for our little boy. CherryTown Nursery have absolutely played a huge part in his journey and we will always be so grateful. Thank you.


Reply from Sarah Richards, Manager at CherryTown Nursery

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are glad you find the app a comfort, we understand how hard it is being away from your children so we try our best to make sure you can see the fun they are having and the new things they are learning. We are really pleased you are all so happy.

My son joined the nursery when he was 6 months old and I am so happy we went here. We had heard good reviews so decided on this place rather than a more local one to us (I would rather drive further if it results in better care!) He is now 3 years old and in pre-school. All of his appointed persons
have been fantastic and clearly trained to a high level but you can just tell that they care and want the best for each child. All of the activities they do are clearly well thought through and organised. I have been lucky to meet the managers and it's awesome to see how they get so involved and not just behind a desk all day. Highly recommended, if we did have another child they would be going here no questions asked.

Reply from Sarah Richards, Manager at CherryTown Nursery

Thank you for your kind words. We are pleased your son enjoys his time at Cherrytown. We strive to deliver the best childcare we can and ensure our partnership with parents is consistent throughout the nursery.

I cannot praise Cherrytown enough for how they have handled Covid and re-opening. The staff have all been really great with handling the drop offs and pick ups. The little girl I look after just moved from Little Learners to Pre-school and was very unsure of the transition. This was a surprise to us
as she is normally so chilled and goes with the flow, but the staff in the pre-school room dealt with it fantastically and she was settled in in no time. Every time I used to go into the Little Learners room to drop the little girl off because covid happened, the staff were always so welcoming to both of us and you could tell they really care about the children and their environment. I am always recommending this nursery to people, as it really is an outstanding nursery.

I would definitely recommend Cherrytown Nursery. My daughter loves coming to Cherrytown, all of the staff are well presented and very friendly. We looked at a few Nurseries before we came to Cherrytown and nothing compared to the friendly staff and amazing facilities they have here. I love the fact
that I can see how my daughter is during the day, what activities she been up to, what she’s eaten and how long she has slept for via their app. My daughter's key worker is amazing and keeps me updated on her progress and always gives an amazing handover at the end of the day. I could not fault one member of staff at Cherrytown Nursery.

My daughter has been at the nursery for two months and has settled in so well. I truest believe this is down to the loving nature of her key person and the other team members who look after her daily. She has developed so much since starting. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and wouldn’t hesitate
to recommend CherryTown.

Both of our boys have attended CherryTown Nursery over the last 4 years. They have been so happy there and been extremely well looked after and loved by the staff. They have some set activities every day like "wake up, shake up" and also a different learning topic every week. They do plenty of messy,
creative activities like painting, exploring in gloop and even cooking. I would thoroughly recommend CherryTown Nursery.

Cherrytown is an amazing nursery due to its fantastic staff and facilities. Our daughter has never objected to going as she has such a fantastic time whilst at nursery and this is a huge bonus to my husband and I. We never worry, the staff are kind and caring and our daughter has made close relationships
with her key workers and staff members in general. Our daughter is a very happy and chatty little girl and we believe much of that is due to her time spent at the nursery.

Both my boys have been to CheeryTown - from ten months old. Both had great care and have grown up to be well-mannered boys. They were there 8-6 Mon to Fri.

I love CherryTown Nursery. My daughter has been coming since she was 14 months old and has loved it. The staff are incredible and have made sure that my daughter has always enjoyed her time at nursery, but I also hold them responsible for a large part of her development and learning. I would highly
recommend CherryTown Nursery and look forward to my little boy getting started in the New Year.

Our son has been attending CherryTown since he was 9 months old. He is now in the Little Learners room and loves it. He is thriving and the things he has learnt amaze me.
All of the staff make the effort to get to know all of the children individually and our son is happy to go to any of them. The
staff are led by a friendly and professional management team who are always available to help with any questions we may have.
It's a hard decision to make when returning back to work but CherryTown really did make this a much easier experience for my wife and they continue to prove that we made the right decision. I can't thank and praise the staff enough for what they do.

My 2 toddlers have been at CherryTown Nursery for the past 6 months (son in Little Learners, daughter in preschool). My husband and I could not be happier with the level of care provided. Exemplary across the board. There is a culture of real kindness, teamwork and excellence that has been cultivated
from the management down. I can honestly say that the teachers are genuinely interested in the children. They pride themselves on knowing each child intimately. They will take time to send through photographs and feedback on events that have happened during the day. The staff are constantly planning spontaneous creative leaning opportunities, like sweeping outside using brooms dipped in paint! I have been amazed at the high level of engagement that is maintained right up until late in the day. My kids have absolutely flourished. CherryTown Nursery is a stimulating, exciting, safe, stable and nurturing environment. I feel grateful to have found this wonderful nursery and would not hesitate at all to recommend it.

CherryTown is a fantastic Nursery that I would always recommend to anyone. I now have a 2nd child attending and he loves all the activities that they do, especially making anything.
He loves playing in their large garden and their soft play area, which is a great bonus.

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.
