I have always had a pleasant experience when picking up our Grandson. The nursery staff are lovely, kind and helpful. The room has ample equipment, the activities seem to be good, our grandson always tells us about what he has done, talking about the garden and the big bikes. Thank you for all your
hard work.

Very security conscious when picking up my grandson on the odd occasion. Informative at pick up regarding my grandson. Food, play, mood etc. Since attending nursery he has blossomed and the use of my family photos has helped us to settle him when missing mum and dad.

The nursery is fantastic- excellent care from a great staff. It would benefit from some more green outside space with grass and I would sometimes like the meals to include less cake for pudding. But overall good standard is high. I sometimes wonder if there should be more security beyond the PIN code
to enter. But I think the staff make a point of knowing the faces of all the parents. It is expensive but the care quality is high. There is new management in place, which means some changes are happening. It’s difficult to judge whether they are all positive at this time. Some facilities and resources look a little tired so perhaps the new management could invest in them. Overall we love this nursery for our child.

CherryVale is an excellent nursery. They took amazing care of our daughter in her preschool years and now take the same level of care for our son. They are caring, supportive and fun. Both of our children love nursery. As parents, we feel the communication is excellent and are grateful for listening
and supporting us.

Staff friendly and have a common sense approach. My boy loves going to CherryVale. More reading/numbers etc. would be beneficial, also healthy food. However, these are relatively minor points. Generally, we appreciate the ethos of CherryVale (down to earth, supportive and local people). Corporate need
improvement for safety and also parents need to drive and park considerately. Since CherryVale were taken over by Family First, we have had two price increases in six months and have seen unnecessary building works.

I've been unbelievably impressed and comforted by the care shown to not only my son but us as parents too. We are kept in the loop with all aspects of his care and progress and have been able to relax knowing that he is with his second family here. Thank you so much and we look forward to our second
little one enrolling later this year.

Our son has been at CherryVale Nursery since 11 months old, moving through all of the age group rooms. He now is in preschool and is absolutely loving it.
I can't speak highly enough of CherryVale, the quality of everything is first-class, this ranges from the care all the staff show to the children
to the food but most importantly, the fun he has here.
I honestly couldn't think of anything we would want to improve.

We are so happy about our experience with the nursery. Our son absolutely loves it and so do we!
He made so much progress since he started one year ago, under lots of points: he was struggling to eat but here, thanks to the amazing chefs and the key person, he is finally eating well. There is such
an amazing variety of food on the menus with also dairy options and he always finds something that he likes to eat.
He is so much happier since he started at CherryVale Nursery, every day he happily walks inside his classroom with a big smile, ready to cuddle with his key person. His days here are full of activities: painting, reading, colouring and exploring inside the classroom and outside in the garden.
So what I am trying to say is really a massive thank you to all of you for making my son so happy!

My son has today spent his last day at CherryVale Nursery and I could not recommend it more highly.
From the first moment we walked in I knew we had found somewhere special.
My son started when he had just turned 1 and is only leaving to start school. He asked if he could stay forever which shows
how much he loves it there.
All of the staff we have encountered along the way have been amazing, from those in the office to the cooks and of course the wonderful teachers. They have all nurtured my son and helped him to grow, develop and ultimately flourish. Special mentions to the staff in pre-school. They are all superstars who have always been willing to share their knowledge and expertise.
The daily updates and pictures are lovely and reassuring but it is the little things that make a big difference. How they have prepared my son for his next adventure and made sure his little sister is equipped to continue at nursery without him.
Thank you. You're all amazing.

No words can describe how amazing CherryVale Nursery is. Our daughter joined CherryVale when she was only 3.5-months-old. She turned 3 in December and moved to pre-school in January. Throughout the whole nursery, each and every room and team member have been absolutely sensational. I couldn’t ask for
a better nursery to send our precious little girl to. She walks in with such confidence and a sparkle in her eyes with excitement for what the day will bring. Every parent at some point questions the choices they make for their pride and joys but this is one choice I will never regret.
I will be forever grateful for the experience CherryVale has offered our daughter up until now and can not wait to see her continue to flourish within their care. You are all one in a million.

I couldn’t recommend Cherryvale Nursery highly enough. My daughter has developed so much there and I have found all the staff to be amazing. I can’t find one thing I would complain about, the facilities are amazing and the kids learn so much. We were really supported with potty training too. It’s just
an amazing environment and my daughter loved going there. I’m really sad we are moving away as I would have loved my son to have attended too!

This place is fantastic! My son always comes out with the biggest smile on his face. The variety of activities he gets to do amazes me. You can tell how passionate the staff are about what they all do and nothing is ever too much. A truly magical place to send your child. I couldn't wish for a better
place for my son to be while I am working and would recommend this nursery to everyone! A safe, happy, clean, fun, professional place where everyone cares about what they do. Keep up the good work everyone.

Working full time we needed a nursery that catered for these hours and the CherryVale Nursery caters for this. The staff do lovely activities with the children and the management team are always on call if needed. My son is thriving in most areas and I believe this has a big part from the nursery and
the outstanding things they put into place. Wouldn't send my child anywhere else other than CherryVale childcare.

Cherryvale Nursery has been a part of our lives as a family for the last 4 years. My older son attended Cherryvale in 2016 at the age of 2 years old and now my 2-year-old daughter attends and has done since she was 9 months old. CherryVale provides outstanding care and a brilliant home from home environment.
The staff are always willing to help and have been brilliant when settling in our two children. The management have been brilliant with all concerns and worries we have had a family. They are quick to respond to emails and voicemails when needed. My children loved and continue to love the amazing activities CherryVale provides and there is always something new and engaging happening within the setting, from farm visits to themed parties. The Catering team provide outstanding hot and cold meals for the children and cater to special diets if needed - nothing is too much trouble. I have and will continue to recommend CherryVale nursery to family, friends and anyone else. Thank you CherryVale.

CherryVale have been are childcare provider for four years. Both my son and daughter have received outstanding care from all members of staff. As a family, we love being able to see what our children have been up to daily on the app, which is constantly updated. The management have always been welcoming
and willing to help when needed. Their staff are always going above and beyond to support my children, meet their needs and provide the love and care they need. The activities always look well thought out and provide many learning opportunities. My oldest left CherryVale happy, confident and sociable and attending school with such success.

CherryVale nursery have been caring for my son since he was eight months old and have always provided high-quality care throughout his days at nursery. The staff are really friendly and helpful and always provide great handovers when I collect him at the end of the day. I really like the app and seeing
how my son is doing throughout the day, seeing how he's eaten and finding out all the fun things he's done at nursery and seeing the photos of him playing and taking part in fun activities. Highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for childcare.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.784)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.784) out of 10 for CherryVale Nursery 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.784 for CherryVale Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (269 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 329 Ratings = 4.784

  • 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 CherryVale Nursery is based on 28 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 106 number of registered child places is 21.2, which has been reached with 28 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.
