Cherubs Kimberly is an amazing and extremely well-run nursery and preschool. We feel confident in all aspects of our child's care. The staff are all great - they have supported our child's learning and are all caring and supportive people. The menu is fantastic, varied and healthy. The facilities are
great; the activities are well chosen, apt and fun. Our son loves it.

My little boy loves going to nursery. He has a great bond with all the staff there. They are all warm and welcoming. They understand any special help every child needs and adapt where it is needed. The communication regarding my child is outstanding.
I love to hear what my little boy has learned each
day, he has come along really well with the help of all the staff.
I would recommend the nursery to anyone.

Since our daughter started nursery in June, I have been nothing but happy with the level of care that she's received. She is always happy when she's at nursery and I've been impressed with the variety of food offered. I only wish I could send her more often than once a week! The staff are always friendly
and keep me informed as to how she's been and I really value the diary updates, golden moments and photos that are uploaded to the app.

We honestly can’t recommend this nursery enough. Our daughter went from 10 months and is now 19 months. When she started nursery she couldn’t even crawl and now she’s running. All the staff are so kind and caring and quite clearly love their job and the children. The rooms are so new and modern and
are really calming. The thought that goes into the activities and the attention to detail is second to none. We can’t thank Cherubs Kimberley enough, for making our girl feel safe and loved and for making sure she has lots of fun, makes lots of friends and learns lots along the way. The food always sounds delicious as well and our girl is a right foodie! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Cherubs Kimberley has been the perfect start for my daughter. The staff are all so caring and have nurtured her in every aspect over the last three years. Her key workers have been amazing and have got to know her, her interests and what works best for her.
We will be eternally grateful for the care
and support that Cherubs have provided for our daughter and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a nursery setting.

My daughter started with Cherubs, during the pandemic March 2021 and I cannot fault anything. Each member of staff within the rooms we’ve experienced, have been kind, empathetic and have done the upmost to support my daughters development. She has formed amazing relationships with her key workers, that
she looks upon as an extended member of the family. The management (in particular the Assistant Nursery Manager and Relief Nursery Manager) are just what you want for leaders of your child’s education provider- welcoming, approachable, understanding and ensuring the nursery is a safe and nurturing environment. Communication is brilliant, regular updates and feedback regarding progress and what has occurred during the day- activities, meals etc. and queries responded to more or less immediately. My daughter has thrived here and she is now more than ready and prepared to make the transition into primary education.

I felt a warmth from the nursery from my first visit. I get great comfort in seeing my 1-year-old eyes light up as soon as we get into the car park; she can't wait to get inside and hasn't once cried when I've dropped her off. The communication from the team is great, both verbally and via the app.
I get regular photos and progress updates and a daily rundown of what she's eaten etc.
She loves the environment and all of the activities, especially when it comes to messy play, oh and she also loves the food.
She has developed so much in a short space of time. The only thing about her starting nursery was her getting colds, but that's inevitable within childcare settings. I think the fees are slightly more expensive than the average, but you can see the difference compared to other nurseries that I'd visited.

Cherubs Kimberley has been amazing!
My daughter, who is now eight years old, attended this nursery, and my little boy, who is four, is leaving this year to attend school.
All the staff are very supportive, kind and caring and always go the extra mile.
Every child is different in their own way, and
the care for them all is out of this world and can’t thank the staff enough.
My son has enjoyed the journey through nursey here, and he is always happy.
Thank you to all your staff, and keep up the amazing work you do.

My 1-year-old son has been attending since August 2022 and he absolutely loves his time here. He screams with excitement when we get out of the car in the morning.
He's come on leaps and bounds since joining.
He has had a few health issues recently and the nursery has been brilliant in identifying
what's normal or not for him and calling to consult with us.
I love the use of the app and being able to see what he's eaten and done throughout the day. It's great that we can get golden moments and photo updates too.
The staff are all lovely and really have the best intentions of each child.

Overall good experience so far, no major concerns or issues without being too picky.
Only major feedback would be the change over of staff/management seems a lot over a year. Our child has had a number of different key workers, he took a while to settle in - maybe this did not help.
Feedback from
the key worker is minimal, I have no doubts about the level of care but maybe the key worker could meet you at the start/end of the day to talk about your child a little more?
Overall, we are happy with Cherubs Kimberly Day Nursery.

My daughter has had the best experience at this nursery! She went for three and half years and has now finished her last day ready for primary school! Cherubs Kimberley has prepared her so well for her next chapter at school. The staff are amazing, caring and go out of their way to make children happy
and smiling! My girl has allergies and the team has taken care of that to make sure she’s safe and I felt fully comfortable leaving her in their care while I went to work and that is everything! We are very happy with the nursery and the progress our daughter has made. Very emotional watching her leave. Thank you all so much, 100% recommended this nursery!

My daughter started at Cherubs when she was 8 months old, and she just loves it! She has been with them for over a year now, and she has never looked back at me at drop-off; she loves everyone there so much, and I can see the feeling is mutual, which makes it so much easier to leave her knowing she
is happy. She has come on leaps and bounds this last year with her speech and her confidence. Thank you for everything!

We've been here with our two girls since mid-January, 2/1-year-old. They both really enjoy nursery and we like reading the diary updates of their day. The staff seem to enjoy caring for them and overall we have had a good experience. A few things in relation to sending them home or calling when I've
had work, parking issues and some debates in relation to health have incurred but it is a lovely nursery overall.

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.
