CherryLands Nursery is a private day nursery and is part of the Family First Day Nurseries group who are committed to excellence in childcare by offering the highest standards of professionalism in a warm, friendly and caring atmosphere.

The nursery's vision is that through quality and professionalism to be the childcare provider of first choice for working parents and to be a home from home environment that provides the children with security and trust. The overall approach is ‘Active Learning Through Purposeful Play’ and this philosophy has been incorporated into how the company delivers the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum.

Cherrylands Nursery opened in 1995 and operates from a former business and office building, close to Weybridge and a business park and it serves the local community and surrounding areas. The nursery is on the Early Years register and opens from 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday for 51 weeks of the year, (closed at Christmas for 1 week and Bank Holidays).

The nursery can care for 30 children at any one time. The setting welcomes and supports children with additional needs and has 8 children who speak additional languages and a further 5 children who have additional cultural backgrounds. There are currently no children attending the nursery receiving SEND funded support and a further intervention.

The childcare is divided into 2 age and stage related rooms on one level with all equipment chosen to suit the age and stage of the children. It is recognised by the nursery that children develop at different rates, so to reflect this, the rooms are given flexibility within the ages and each child is looked at individually to ensure that their individual needs are met appropriately and that they are in the best place for them to grow and develop educationally, socially and emotionally.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough! My 2 and a half year old son transitioned here from another nursery, and we have been so pleased with how quickly he settled in. The staff are absolutely wonderful, so caring, loving, and genuinely dedicated to the children's well-being and development. Since
joining, my son has learned so much and is excited to go every day. I couldn't have asked for a better environment for him to grow and thrive in. Thank you to the amazing team for making such a positive impact on his early years!

We love Cherrylands Nursery. The manager is brilliant. The setting is clean, tidy and well maintained with a great range of toys and equipment in good condition. Super outdoors space they use every day. The chef is so considerate, the menu is extensive and diverse. My child always eats all their food,
if not seconds! Open plan classrooms. It's a nice intimate size too. Very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable staff. They celebrate lots of festivals and events plus do lots of crafts.

My daughter has been attending Cherrylands Nursery for almost two years, and she loves it. The staff are wonderful and very supportive, providing a caring and nurturing environment.
The nursery has a lovely outdoor space and offers a variety of activities every day, along with nice events throughout
the year.
They prepare all the meals on-site with a fantastic caterer, and the menu is thoughtfully planned.
We highly recommend Cherrylands Nursery to other parents.

Our son attends this nursery in the under 2 room. We are delighted by the progress he is making, his social skills have really developed over the last 6 months and he gets on really well with other children.
We love the outdoor space at the nursery and the pictures of him playing outside everyday
are lovely. The themed weeks are really good as they have given him an understanding of events in the calendar like Christmas and Halloween. The staff at the nursery are very attentive and really know our son and his behaviours. The staff really care and our son has built a great relationship with them.
He loves the food and the variety of menus. This has seen him develops his tastes so he is much more willing to try new food at home.
Thank you so much for looking after our son. We feel we made an excellent choice sending our so to this nursery.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear about your son's progress and how much he enjoys his time in the under-2s room. It's fantastic to know that his social skills are flourishing and that he has built strong relationships with both the staff and his peers.

Nice nursery, my toddler is very happy here.
All the staff are very friendly and helpful.
They plan a huge range of activities and put the effort into your child's development with messy play and arts and crafts every day.
The inside space is cosy and outside play areas are quite big with a lot
of toys and activities for the children sectioned off by age.
Food is very well planned and great quality with very little processed food unless for treats at parties.

Choosing the right nursery is a significant decision, and our experience at Cherrylands has been overwhelmingly positive from Day 1. The staff's dedication to creating a nurturing and developing environment is evident in every interaction. The communication from the nursery is excellent, keeping us
informed and involved in the progress. We've seen our son thrive, grow in confidence, and develop a love for learning, which speaks volumes about the quality of care and education at Cherrylands. Location is another big advantage.
For any parent considering Cherrylands Weybridge, we highly recommend it.

My son went to Cherrylands from when he had just turned 1 to when he was nearly 3, starting in the baby's room and moving up into the toddler and little learners' room. We have just relocated and so had to leave the nursery, which we are still devastated about! I was nervous handing over my child to
a nursery for the first time, having not done that before and not knowing what to expect. I feel so lucky that we found Cherrylands. It has a family feel due to its size and the care of the staff - you get to know all of the teachers who are all fab, nurturing, and caring. My son settled in quickly when he started and loved every day that he spent there until his very last. We were always happy and comfortable knowing (and seeing) that he was learning, growing, developing, being nurtured, being tended to, and being cared for. I wish more nurseries could be like Cherrylands, and we miss it! I would genuinely recommend it to anyone with children in the area.

Our daughter has been at Cherrylands for nearly a year and she absolutely loves it! I was very nervous before she started but the team were wonderful and helped her settle in really quickly. It is a small nursery which means that all the staff know all the children really well and it has a family feel
to it. Our daughter has thrived there over the last year. The team are so warm and kind and always thoroughly responsive to any questions we have as parents. The events the Cherrylands team run to mark special occasions are wonderful and give such a lovely insight into all the fun that the kids have on a daily basis! We highly recommend the nursery!

Our daughter has been at Cherrylands for nearly a year and absolutely loves it. We were nervous for other people to look after her when she was little but the staff made it so easy for us and our daughter during the transition stages. They are so lovely and clearly care about all of the children, spending
time with each and every one of them. Cherrylands is a wonderful nursery and we can’t recommend it enough.

My daughter has been at Cherrylands for six months, and has settled in really well. She can’t wait for her nursery days to come round, and goes running up the path when we arrive! The staff are kind, caring and professional and make the effort to get to know the whole family as well as the children.
There are always exciting activities on offer and the garden area is amazing - my daughter would spend all day outside if she could! Cherrylands is a lovely nursery and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I have two children in this nursery (baby and preschool room). The staff for both rooms are so caring and very thoughtful about each child's individual interests. They are fantastic at building activities around their interests. My three-year-old is currently very captivated by space, and the staff
have turned the outhouse into a 'space shed'. The outside space is also incredible!

I am so happy that I have chosen Cherrylands! My daughter loves them; all the girls are so lovely, careful, funny and looking after my daughter. When she was sick, they called me to ask about her, and this really melted my heart. I cannot recommend enough and tell them what a wonderful job they're doing
and how important is to know and to feel that my daughter has a second family with them.
P.S. Their food menu is awesome!

My daughter went to Cherrylands for one year before we relocated. We were so pleased with everything about the nursery and she really thrived there. All of the staff are so friendly, professional and caring. The communication via the app and monthly news was incredible and we felt so informed. My daughter
also has a milk protein allergy, and Cherrylands catered for this so well. I am also a primary school teacher and could see how well the children are prepared for reception. I would recommend this nursery to anyone!

My son has recently started school so is no longer at Cherrylands, but I can safely say he had the best few years there ever. The staff were always attentive, friendly and creative and he was excited to go to see his teachers and friends when he attended. The learning environment is enriched with lots
of lovely resources and themes and the outside area is amazing! My baby will be starting there next year and we couldn’t be happier as we know she will be looked after in exactly the same way.

Cherrylands is a wonderful nursery. My three year old has been going for six months, after moving him from another nursery, and I couldn't be happier that we moved him to Cherrylands. The staff are so kind and warm and the communication is excellent. My son settled quickly and always looks forward to
going to nursery. They have lovely events through the year such as a mother's/father's/grandparent's tea, which is a lovely touch and really makes you feel part of something. I couldn't recommend it enough to people! I have a baby starting there next year and it's very reassuring to know he will be going to such a lovely nursery with a great team.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Cherrylands Nursery 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.950 for Cherrylands Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (287 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.95

  • 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 Cherrylands Nursery is based on 25 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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 25 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.
