  • Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery / English-Spanish, Hemel Hempstead
Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery - English-Spanish is for all children and all parents who believe in early learning and having the best possible head start in life.

The nursery is greatly influenced by the work of psychologists such as Montessori, Piaget and Konrad Lorenz who believed most children are born with tremendous powers and sensitive periods for learning. These periods from birth to five years are vital and crucial to the child’s whole future.

Second language learning (Spanish) is introduced during the children's daily routine in a fun way by in-house native Spanish teachers. Children are greeted in Spanish (hola, Buenos dias, como estas?) and asked during the day at meals times if they would like milk or juice (Leche, or Zumo) for breakfast. Children sing nursery rhymes and learn parts of the body, days of the week, months of the year and the colours in Spanish.

Staff have on-going training and a key worker system is in place to make sure parents get regular feedback and that each individual child has their development prioritised.

Children enjoy fun sessions of Spanish language and can benefit from access to a large garden, farm animals plus musical activities with guitar, piano, saxophone and percussion.

My son has been at the nursery since he was six months. We are now getting ready to move on to infant and he will not only be the one who will miss the staff. This has been his home away from home. I have watched my son grow in confidence over the years. I have seen his interaction with staff and know
he is happy. He asks to go to nursery at the weekend and can be sad if I tell him not today. Hats off to the staff for all the support they give to the children and us as parents.

Amazing day nursery, my son has been at Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery since he was 2 years old. Lovely staff and everyone knows my son, even the teachers that aren't in his room. I feel that this was the best nursery for him, being loved and cared for every day he was there, especially as he has
lots of allergies. Highly recommend this nursery to everyone.
Thank you very much.

My nephew has been attending the nursery for over a year now. I've always loved the look of the nursery from the outside and inside is a homely environment. He gets very excited to go to nursery and his development and social skills are a reflection of the amazing staff and the care he receives.

My son has attended the nursery for a year now, the staff are very kind, caring and welcome him with open arms each week. They are also very understanding and willing to help when I have any problems and are more than happy to accommodate changes in work hours. Since being there he has progressed greatly
and that is down to the care he receives from the staff whilst being there.

I would highly recommend this nursery. My son loves going and never wants to leave. It has a very home from home atmosphere. The staff are fantastic, very caring and nurturing. There is a good menu. The activities are vast, a great garden and my son's learning, in general, has come on leaps and bounds.
I would not hesitate in recommending this nursery to anyone. Thank you, Cherry Tree!

Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery has been amazing in supporting me and my baby in settling in. They are informative about my baby's day and help with his development. He is always happy to see his support workers when I drop him off. The staff are always courteous and smile genuinely with a welcome.

Since the very first time I spoke to the team at Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery, they have always given me the time and listened to my children’s needs. The staff are always professional and maintain a constant high standard that all other nurseries should work towards.
I am so sad for my daughter's
last day but I know that the relationship will still be there with my second daughter and for when we need childcare during the school holidays.

From our very first conversation, we were made to feel welcome. Our little girl took quite a while to settle and everyone at the nursery were so kind and patient. She absolutely loves it now and skips into preschool chatting away! Her confidence has grown and she loves singing songs to us in Spanish.
As parents, we feel very comfortable sending our daughter into the nursery as we know it is a very safe, secure, nurturing and loving environment - home away from home!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery / English-Spanish is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 5.000 for Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery / English-Spanish is calculated as follows: ( (264 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery / English-Spanish is based on 22 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 33 number of registered child places is 6.6, which has been reached with 22 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.

My name is Dalia Ros I have been in childcare since 1988
and providing childcare services to my local community


For many years I have been hoping to find a superman to join me in this beautiful field of education and childcare.


After many years of searching and beginning to think that Mr Right did not exist, I found him miles away in another country, another continent that day I saw him stars and lights engulfed his face.


We immediately new that we were made for each other. After knowing each other for three weeks we married and then realised we were sole mates.


Cherry Tree Bilingual Nursery became more like a second home to our children homely, full of joy, love and care. Where our children learn to love nature by looking after and caring towards our pets, garden and vegetable patch.
