  • Cherubs Kindergarten, Farnborough
Cherubs is conveniently situated with Farnborough, Southwood and Cove close by and easy access to M3 junction 4a. Southwood Business Parks and Farnborough mainline railway station are also only a short distance away. At its last Ofsted inspection (August 2023), Cherubs was rated “Good” in every assessment category.

The 50-place setting is family owned and offers a home from home setting with a plethora of facilities, resources and activities to promote development and ensure the very best start to children's early education. A superb 12-place BABY UNIT is perfect for families looking for the very best for their precious child's first nursery.

In 2020 the nursery made a number of significant improvements to its setting, with building and environmental changes. A new, purpose-built pre-school extension provides separation of age group cohorts, where all children have independent, direct access to the all-weather garden, facilitating “free flow” between indoor and outdoor learning environments.

My daughter loves going to Cherubs Kindergarten! She has improved in so many fields since she started going to nursery. Especially the language, since she is bilingual, I can tell that she has been followed closely to improve her English and I am so grateful for it.
She always smiles when I mention
all the amazing members of staff so that tells me that she is really happy there!

After moving my son from another nursery to this one. I didn't think he actually enjoyed nursery but now he is shouting at me each morning to leave the house and is always excited to get to nursery. He loves spending time with all of the staff in the nursery and goes to everyone as if they are his own
little nursery family! He especially loves spending time with his key worker.

Our son has been attending Cherubs Kindergarten since April 2022 and loves every minute! We are welcomed every day and fully updated on the day's events with sleep patterns and food consumed throughout the day with topics covered to help with learning and development. He has a great bond with his key
worker which is really reassuring.
The app is great for updates and I love seeing picture updates whilst I'm at work.
Thank you to everyone at Cherubs that keep our little one safe each day, it's hugely appreciated and you're all great and what you do!

I am a mother of two boys. The first joined the nursery in February 2018 and the second in November 2019. Both of them love(d) going there as they have amazing bonds with the staff. The managers were the ones who informed me that they see some signs of autism with my elder son and they were correct
- he has ASD diagnosis. Only thanks to them I have received the help that my son required. They were amazing and supportive throughout the journey. He had an amazing bond with his key workers - they were amazing with him and (every staff member) kept giving me tips on how to deal with something that was unknown to me. The managers even joined school meetings. My younger son also loves it. Staff are amazing and as we are moving away I am sure he is going to miss them all. He is already asking if some of the staff are coming with us.
I could not be happier for choosing Cherubs Kindergarten as our nursery. To all staff - keep doing what you are doing as it is truly amazing.

The staff at Cherubs Nursery are ever supportive to our children, with guidance, and continued care.


For children to be eager to learn, excited to go to nursery and to develop their experiences, knowledge, and social skills. It's no wonder Cherubs Nursery (Cove) has the highest reputation.


A

great team, a great environment, and a great time for our children. What more can a parent ask for.

With one son in preschool and one in the baby unit, I have absolutely no reservations recommending Cherubs Kindergarten.
From the first time we looked around, back in 2018 with the assistant manager, I knew Cherubs was the right place for our son to join. She was knowledgeable, easy to talk to (no
question was a silly question!), and above all else, you could see how good she was with the children and how much they loved it there.
He joined at 10 months, the same time his key worker also joined the nursery as an apprentice. She was fantastic settling him in, keeping me updated and helping me to work on his development. She has since gone on to lead the toddler room which speaks volumes in the support the staff are given in their development.
Our second son joined in October 2021 at 8 months. The bond he has made with the baby room lead is incredible. She celebrates every milestone with you and clearly loves what she does.
The children are all well-fed, in a clean, fun environment with lovely staff!

My 2-year-old has just started here. We were really nervous as she can be funny with new people but all of the staff have been incredible and she loves it. Her favourite people are the assistant manager and her key worker. We are so grateful to all the staff for being so friendly and welcoming.

Our son has been going to Cherubs Kindergarten since the summer of 2020 and their management of everything throughout the Covid period has been excellent. It is a lovely space for a child to spend time, very supportive, fun and friendly - there is so much thought put into daily activities and it's great
seeing the photos online. The daily feedback is excellent and you feel complete confidence in the staff, they are a very competent group. I could not recommend them enough!

What a fantastic nursery!
My daughter attends the preschool and she has learnt so much since starting. My son had also spent a few months in the toddler room and he absolutely loved it! The care from all the staff is incredible and we have to thank the assistant manager especially for working above
and beyond to support both our children and to us as parents, she really has the answers to all our questions, she is a real asset to Cherubs Kindergarten. Her key worker has also been amazing for our daughter, so friendly, kind and full of fun and games.
Thank you everyone at Cherubs and we will continue on telling everyone how amazing you all are!

I honestly couldn’t write enough lovely things about Cherubs Kindergarten. Our daughter started with Cherubs at 6-months-old for two days a week and now at 1 is attending four days a week. Picking a nursery as a first time mum was challenging but I knew when I first arrived to visit Cherubs and was
met by the assistant manager dressed as a tiger this was a child-led environment. Since then my daughter has developed brilliantly, the activities keep her engaged, the team work with us to help on things (i.e shoe-wearing) and she is always happy to go in. She eats a fantastic variety of food and we get regular updates on what she has been doing. Whenever she sees the baby room lead or her key worker she is full of smiles and her arms and legs go in excitement, which tells me we absolutely made the right choice in choosing Cherubs.

From a Portuguese only speaking home, my daughter now (2.5-years-old) is fully bilingual. This clearly shows the level of interaction in English she gets by going only twice a week to the nursery.
The environment is very supportive and she looks forward to going to nursery, especially to meet one particular
male staff member.
When she was a baby staff were willing to work with her in her own schedule. Which I didn't find in other previous nurseries where my elder went. Here the nursery worked with my daughter's feeding/sleeping schedule - which was very comforting to her and she was well-rested every day I picked her up.
I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.

Staff are very friendly and management does try to be flexible with availability on the set days for our son. They have good food and nice activities with the babies. I like the fact that they share photos of highlights. It would be great if they post it every day but I do understand that staff would
struggle to do it every day. I’m very pleased with them.

I have had two daughters at the nursery. I have always found the staff very friendly and attentive. Always willing to help, and give special attention to specific needs I might have. They have recently opened a new preschool room, which is light and airy and full of wonderful toys and learning tools.
My daughter is always happy to attend, and even wants to go along at the weekend when it is closed! I always think this must be a good sign. The layout encourages the children to enjoy time in and outdoors, and they always seem to have a varied calendar of events, from visiting the library, and old people's home, to a time in the garden, or painting indoors.

We love Cherubs.
Our son has been going here only for a short amount of time and he has settled really quickly.
He has already started crawling and soon to be walking.
He eats really well at nursery too.
The staff are amazing with him and he is more than happy to go to them in the morning which
makes me happy and able to go to work without tears!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) out of 10 for Cherubs Kindergarten is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.839 for Cherubs Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (163 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.839

  • 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 Cherubs Kindergarten is based on 16 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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 16 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.
