This review is based on the two stay and play sessions the pre-school team have recently put on for us families. We have attended both and would really like to say a big thank you to the team. We really enjoyed it, our little girl enjoyed showing us what she does while she is at pre-school, it was also
a great opportunity to meet some of her friends and their parents and have a little chat with the staff members. Sessions like this have made us feel a little more involved with the nursery and helping us to understand the type of environment our little girl spends time in. We really appreciate the time and effort that staff put in to making the sessions fun. We look forward to attending more. Thanks again pre-school team.

My daughter has been at Cherubs Kimberley for almost 3 years now and has always had the best time. She is always happy and talks all the time about her days at nursery/pre school. She has made such a lot of progress in preschool with her counting and phonics, and always shows great enthusiasm when demonstrating
these skills at home. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming yet incredibly professional. They really are honorary aunties and uncles and it's a home away from home for her. My little boy has also just started in the baby room and he too has settled in well.

My son has been at Cherubs Kimberley from 13 months old to finishing preschool. I have found the staff to be very enthusiastic, encouraging and caring. He has learnt a lot and covered a wide range of activities, hopefully setting him up well for starting school! The rooms are a lovely environment, with
lots to do and he enjoys the outside space too.

The nursery provides a safe engaging and fun place for the children, the activities are varied and they focus on the child's development. The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable, they have great relationships with the children and are always available to help, listen, and support. You receive
updates on your child's day via the app and on the collection and see snippets of their day which is lovely. I am extremely happy with the care my child receives and know that he is well looked after and having fun when in.

Both of our children have been through Cherubs, our daughter now, and we can't praise the nursery and staff any more highly. The staff have built fantastic bonds with both of our children, and they have always looked forward to coming to nursery. As parents, we know our children are in excellent hands

We have had a great experience with Cherubs during all of our child development stages. The staff are great and really understood her individual needs. The outdoor area is brilliant and our child absolutely loves the outdoor play. They always have great activities throughout the day, and they especially
love painting and creative play. The app is great for updates, and I always feel informed and up to date.

Both our children have attended Kimberley Cherubs and we feel the staff have got to know us on a personal level as well as professional.
The nursery is always clean and food always smell amazing! The car

Cherubs Kimberley is a lovely nursery. The staff are friendly, helpful and have a good understanding of the Early Years curriculum. The activities they provide for the children are well thought through and are engaging for the children's learning. The nursery menu has a good range of meals which means
there’s something for everyone and what I like is all meals are homemade from the nursery cook.
Communication with parents is brilliant. Parents are kept well informed of things happening in nursery, but also of outside activities. The nursery app is a great way of communicating with parents. All observations carried out on your child are on there along with photos of what they’ve been up to. There’s also an at-home section which is lovely. This allows the nursery to see what your child has been up to at home.
I can honestly say my child loves coming to Cherubs and I as a parent have no concerns regarding the care given to my child whilst in the setting.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Cherubs Kimberley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.880 for Cherubs Kimberley is calculated as follows: ( (342 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 384 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 Cherubs Kimberley is based on 32 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 114 number of registered child places is 22.8, which has been reached with 32 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.
