Set in a fully upgraded and refurbished Victorian School building, Cherubs Kimberley has been providing high quality early years care and education for children since June 2003. Spread across 4 age-appropriate rooms, a self-contained Baby Unit and with 4 different outdoor spaces (including Baby Garden, Toddler Garden and Pre-School Garden) for children to enjoy (curated bespoke by Timotay Playscapes) - this nursery really does have it all.

The nursery has its own tranquil and sensory rooms, too. Here, Educators plan targeted STEM activities or provide additional support for those children with special editions needs (SEN).

If you’re looking for a modern and conveniently located nursery, overflowing with outstanding facilities, Cherubs Kimberley is the nursery for you.

Our son has thrived while being at Cherubs Day Nursery. He has shown major improvements in his walking, cognition and speech. The staff are amazing. They are attentive to his needs and always make sure he's happy and progressing.
Thanks to the member of staff who always makes sure my son is happy and
enjoys nursery.

We joined Cherubs in November 2021 after my previous childcare provider closed and we couldn't be happier with the service. All staff are helpful and friendly and know the children well. My daughter has improved greatly since joining.

Great start to nursery, love getting follow-ups every day through the app. My son has started to say more words as well, lovely to hear. Sad to have to drop him at the door but know he's fine once in. Amazing key worker who he loves.

My son started nursery when I returned to work, nursery being so approachable, flexible, understanding, helpful has meant the transition for us both has been really easy. I feel confident that everyone looking after him always has his best interests at heart and they are encouraging his development
to be the best he can be. All the staff are friendly and go above and beyond to keep me informed. I would highly recommend the nursery to friends and family and look forward to seeing him continue to develop.

My daughter started at the setting in November and the staff have been so welcoming and supported her to settle in. It is already clear to see how the staff are supporting and promoting her development. It is so lovely to receive updates of her day and progress through the app. All of the staff are
so caring and are genuinely lovely people.

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.

Laura Bowler

Job Title: Area Manager

Joined: 2007

Hello, I'm Laura - Area Manager for Cherubs Kimberley. I have been part of Cherubs Nurseries since 2007 and incredibly fortunate to work across multiple Cherubs Nurseries during my career so far. Doing this has allowed me to really understand the expectations and the need to ensure we provide high-quality childcare every day. We take our role in the early years seriously and are always keen to go above and beyond where we can.


I am incredibly passionate about giving all children the very best start. In addition to my Area Manager role, I am the Group Safeguarding and SEND Lead. This means I work with all the nurseries to ensure we provide tailored care to those with additional needs.
