The Tiny Todd's team have settled my daughter in extremely well. She has built a strong bond with her key worker and the other girls in the room.
She loves the activities they provide especially painting, which she does not get to do at home.
The nursery cater for my daughter's dairy allergy, offering
her the same meals as the other children.
The office team are always friendly and available when needed.

Both my children have attended CherryStone Nursery, my daughter from 15-months (now 7-years) and my son from 9-months (now 3-years). I can honestly say there isn't a day that I question my decision to send my children to CherryStone. The staff at the nursery, whether it be in the rooms, office or kitchen,
are superb, they are so caring, warm and lovely to deal with. They clearly love the children they look after and enjoy their work and the children love them too, my son runs into nursery every morning, barely looking back to say goodbye! Pre-Covid, drop-off/pick-up was in the rooms, you could see the facilities were very clean and well stocked with toys and resources. The transition post lockdown has been easy and done safely. There are a wide variety of activities planned each day to entertain and educate the children. I love how the children learn in such a fun environment that they don't realise they are learning! I recommend this nursery to anyone, it has been the best start in life for my two.

My daughter has been attending Cherrystone Nursery since she was 9-months-old. I chose the nursery due to the proximity to our house and the station but when I went to drop off my forms it was pick up time and I noticed children didn't want to go home! They wanted more cuddles from the staff and to
go back inside and play. This is when I knew I was making the right choice and my daughter has settled so well despite being a lockdown baby, she happily lets me hand her over and gets excited when she sees her red nursery bag! The staff are amazing and I particularly like that any cover staff are from within the company so they are still familiar faces for my daughter. They go above and beyond to make time for parents and handover and genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs and looking after my daughter. I cannot recommend Cherrystone highly enough.

Our son has been attending CherryStone Nursery since he was 10 months old and has loved every moment (we looked at CherryStone Nursery on a recommendation from a family friend as we were new to the area and had no idea about local provisions). The staff are all very caring and my son has always enjoyed
attending, no matter which room he has been in. It is so reassuring to know your child will be so well looked after. The communication has always been good, I have always felt well informed and am very pleased that my second child will be starting at CherryStone Nursery in 2021.

My son started CherryStone Nursery at 8.5 months old and he is now 3 years old. The staff have been amazing throughout, from his first baby steps to his climbing and running in the garden the staff have supported his development in all areas in every way possible. I can’t thank them all enough. My son
has built such lovely relationships with his teachers throughout the year and also his friends that I hear endless stories about.
Since returning after lockdown my nerves were eased with the reassurance of office staff as well as his teachers, everyone at CherryStone Nursery goes above and beyond. I will be very very sad to see him leave CherryStone for school in a couple of years time.
Thank you CherryStone!

Both our children have attended CherryStone since being babies and we are so pleased with the nursery. The staff are so caring, warm and fun. The range of activities is so wide, lots of role-playing, creative and messy play as well as jolly phonics, storytime, fun fitness, soft play the list goes on.
The garden is really well equipped and it's great they have such a lovely outside space to play. The food is all home-cooked and includes lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Our children have loved nursery, they've come on so well, made friends for life and it's set them up well for school. We can't recommend CherryStone nursery highly enough.

It’s a lovely place. So friendly and warm and the staff love the children. It has managed to bounce back from lockdown well with no loss of the care and love provided to the children. It’s clean, well-run, great with SEN children and the food smells amazing and I have been told it tastes good too. I
highly recommend this nursery.

I have 2 boys, aged 3 and 1 who both attend CherryStone nursery. They absolutely love going there. The staff are amazing from the office, kitchen and nursery workers. They always have a smile on their face and it's a lovely friendly, fun and welcoming environment. Both my boys are developing so well
with their social and communication skills and love the variety of learning, games and play that they get at the nursery. The outdoor space is great with lots of toys, playhouse and bikes etc. and the indoor small soft play is great! The activities are age-specific and now my eldest is in pre-school he is cooking and doing yoga, tennis and other sports he hasn't done before which he gets so excited about! I would highly recommend CherryStone to any parents.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was about 6 months of age. He will shortly be leaving soon to join school in September. Over the 4 years, the staff have been absolutely amazing and have taken a real personal approach with my son. We have devised plans to improve behaviour, socialising
and of course learning. I could not be happier with the amount of care shown to my son. Would highly recommend this nursery!

Our second child is currently attending CherryStone Nursery (April 2016 - April 2020). We cannot sing their praises enough. Stable, experienced and skilled staff who know the individual children and support their needs; a very warm, creative, varied, nurturing environment; when concerns/queries arose,
we have always felt confident to raise it with staff and if needed with management. Our concerns are always responded to in an empathetic manner and agreed actions/inquiries are followed up and responded to promptly, in a way that we felt heard. Stable and welcoming management is a great asset, and the warmth exhibited by all staff (kitchen, cleaning, teaching and management) have always been exemplary. My now 6-year old was very well prepared for school. She stayed in CherryStone preschool until she joined Reception in her current school. The transition was smooth. She emerged from CherryStone as a confident, socially very well adapted, and developmentally well prepared for school.

A particular member of staff in the baby room is an asset. Handing my baby over to her on my first day back to work was easy. She made me feel at ease and the care she has provided my child has been outstanding and second to none. He generally loves her and flaps like a fish out of water as soon as
he sees her face on the board by his peg. She is professional and understanding. Nothing is too much for her and she goes above and beyond in everything. As a first time mum, this is all I could ask for in a key person at nursery; for them to adore my child, just as much as I do.

My son loves going to Cherrystone Nursery. The nurturing environment, experienced staff, great facilities and activities have supported his growth into a bright, confident, happy, inquisitive little boy. From the baby room all the way to PreSchool I've been very happy with the tailored care at every
stage. He has made such wonderful friends, and in turn, we've made great friends of the parents. I've recommended the nursery to friends, and my daughter is due to start soon too.

My son has settled in well into CherryStone Nursery. All the staff are friendly, approachable and enjoy their job. The nursery provides different fun activities every day which they use to develop learning. The staff have communicated with me very well since day one. The outside play area and rooms
are all to a high standard. We have all been really happy with the nursery that we have increased the days my son attends. The food is always very healthy and presented well. I will and do recommend this nursery 100%

Current Review Score: 7.7 (7.720)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.7 (7.720) out of 10 for CherryStone Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.667 for CherryStone Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 3.053 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for CherryStone Nursery is based on 1 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 = 3

    • 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.8 = 0.053

  • 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.
