  • 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 daughter has been attending Cherry Tree for three years. She has always been very happy and settled in very quickly. The environment is always happy and loving, and the staff are great, always helpful, caring and nurturing. My daughter has learnt good skills and early education skills including the
addition of Spanish which she enjoys and can take on to her new school. I would be happy to recommend Cherry Tree as a nursery.

Our daughter has had the most amazing time at Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery. Every day she comes in with a smile. The nursery itself is a fun and bright environment and I think it provides the backdrop for more effective learning. My daughter loves the teachers very much and the teachers are very
approachable for parents.

Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery / English-Spanish has been a real blessing to me and my daughter. My daughter has shown great development in adding up, recognising the alphabet, and writing the letters and sounding out words. She has learnt the colours and numbers in Spanish. She enjoys the singing,
playing inside/outside and feeding the rabbit a carrot which she provides from home. The manager and her team provide a safe and happy place which makes me happy that my daughter's wellbeing is taken care of. My daughter has made a lot of friends and always tells me what a great day she has had.

My son has been attending the nursery for a couple of years now. He has had some problems attending nursery as he doesn't like leaving me but once in the nursery they have welcomed him and calmed him down as soon as I have left I receive a text from the nursery saying he is happy playing. He has progressed
with learning. He leaves this September and I think he will miss it loads.

Cherry Tree Nursery has shown excellent care to my son over the last 2 and a half years.
They have been helpful with getting him to manage his feelings and frustrations. This has been very useful for me as I raise him by myself and sometimes need a third party for advise. They have been exceptional
in regards to his learning. His phonics, language and counting have improved so much in the last year. I am very grateful to Cherry Tree in making his last 2 years at nursery such a memorable, happy experience. Thank you.

My son absolutely loves this place. He loves learning Spanish and always talks about his best friend. I wouldn't put him anywhere else. I know my son is in good hands and is safe and well. All staff report to me at the end of every day how he's been if he's eating a lot of not so much. I could not be
happier.

My daughter has been at Cherry Tree nursery since she was a baby and absolutely loves coming to nursery. She has come such a long what, she is always coming home telling me what she has done and learnt. All staff have been brilliant and listen to anything I have concerns about and always act on them
quickly.
The nursery is always clean and safe, the food is homecooked and healthy. I am very happy I chose Cherry Tree for my daughter's nursery.

I love the outside area, lots of room for the kids and they can feed the animals. This is very encouraging.

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.

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.
