  • 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.

The school is very supportive. My child loves the school, especially learning Spanish. The teachers give full feedback about your child, on how their day went. The staff are polite. The school is clean. No concerns really.

My son has attended Cherry Tree Nursery for nearly 2 years and he is really happy there. He has made friends quickly and is learning lots of different words and skills in Spanish and English. The staff are friendly and kind to parents and the children and are working hard to make sure each child in
their care is looked after and loved like their parents love them. Thank you for all you do for my son. It makes it easier to go to work knowing he's cared for so well.

My son has been at this nursery for a full three years now, and they have always kept his best interests in mind. All of the carers are very friendly and know him very well. There is a great focus on being kind. When my son has become fascinated with things like the moon, or fog, they have built these
into the activities. He eats very well there. He always says how nice the food is - and he enjoys the outdoor space a lot too (which is split into different areas of play).

My daughter has attended this nursery for more than a year. She is very happy. She loves the staff members and environment. She enjoys the food in nursery which is healthy and balanced. They have a wide range of activities, my daughter learns a lot every day. I appreciate that the communication with
the nursery is excellent. If I have any concerns or questions I can always contact the manager or the member of staff. I like the fact that the nursery can always provide an extra session for my child if I need it. I can highly recommend this nursery to children of any age from baby to preschool. Thank you!

My daughter looks forward to attending nursery every day. She shares her experiences with me, also her interaction with her teachers and friends, especially her Spanish lessons. In terms of covid-19 infection policies, I personally commend the team for doing an awesome job from what I have observed
when I drop my daughter off. They do a daily temperature screen as well as disinfecting her shoes and getting her to wash her hands. My daughter speaks highly about her meals as she always eats all of it.

My son has attended Cherry Tree since January and I can't imagine a better nursey for him. His behaviour has changed. He is kind now, he has learnt to share, he is full of compassion and is really calm. He is learning here really quickly and I know it is because he really loves going here and he is
happy every day he can come to nursery. He really loves his teacher. He likes to play with other kids. He loves to bake, circle time, painting, learning how to care about pets and many more. He loves eating here and generally our life is better now because he is in good hands!

My daughter loves attending nursery and enjoys the day to day activities, she has made some lovely friends who she talks about a lot. She also enjoys looking after the pet rabbit. The staff are very kind and approachable. We are very happy with the care our daughter has at nursery and feel she has learnt
a lot especially numbers, phonics and Spanish.

If there is any other place where you can leave your little ones with peace of mind it's definitely Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery!
For my little one, it's the 2nd home.
Care, support or help in any area (whether it's learning, food or hygiene) if needed! Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery works
with you beyond your expectations.
It might not look very posh or too spacious as other professional daycares are, but the care you get for kids is incomparable. Real Gem!

All three of my sons attend Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery. It is a fantastic nursery, they thoroughly enjoy all the Spanish they learn, often coming home repeating phrases. Staff are very friendly and very relaxed with the children which is important as they feel very comfortable here. I would recommend
this nursery to friends again and again.

My daughter has enjoyed her time at Cherry Tree and built a good relationship with the staff. She loves all the singing and now has started to speak Spanish which is down to the time spent with the staff at Cherry Tree. She loves going to nursery and is confident. It is a lovely nursery and a home away
from home.

My son recently joined Cherry Tree Nursery he has only ever been with myself and close family since he was newborn, he found the whole experience overwhelming, the staff have been nothing short of amazing so caring, patient and so helpful with his transition. He has come on so much in the short time
he has been attending, we have less tears and more smiles, he's playing and enjoying his time spent at school.

I'd like to recommend Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery to all my friends because of the staff and manager, they are quite helpful and friendly. They look after the babies and kids very well. A few staff, in particular, are excellent, they provide a high-quality service as much as they can. We cannot
be working without them. I like them a lot. All staff have been trained very well. I can't say thank you enough. Well done all staff and managers.

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.
