Cherubs Kimberley Day Nursery have a fantastic range of rooms accommodating to every individual child's needs. The staff are very friendly and informative. My child's speech has come on leaps and bounds since joining. The variety of food offered is amazing and we have even tried some of the recipes
at home. Overall, an amazing nursery all around.

My son has been attending this setting from 12-months. He settled in really well with the support from the caring staff.
He is now in preschool, made lots of special friendships, the staff team are amazing and passionate for what they do.
The management team are so supporting and understanding. The
nursery itself is great - so much outdoor space.

Fantastic nursery, my daughter has settled in so well.
She's so confident since joining Cherubs Day Nursery, massive thank you to the nursery nurse, operations manager and assistant manager. The communication from these three especially is next to none.
When I've asked for certain things to be done
- i.e. nappies/dummies at naps, it's been encouraged which is wonderful.
Thank you Cherubs family!

To date, I have had two children attend this nursery and if I have any more I would not hesitate to enrol them. I have recommended this nursery to my "new mummy friends". My child loves going and felt absolutely settled from day one. He walked in by himself as soon as he could walk and hasn't looked
back.

Cherubs Kimberley Day Nursery has been the perfect introduction to childcare settings for both of my boys, after struggling to make childminding care work for my middle son we were so pleased to find reliability and extremely high-quality care at Cherubs. They are also super flexible allowing us to
book extra sessions and helping us out whenever they can if we have needed them at short notice. I cannot recommend the nursery highly enough, especially now the newly renovated indoors and outdoors adds that extra bit of wow factor! The staff are wonderful and now their's, and the children's, environment reflects this. We have had a fabulous experience over the last three years, thank you Cherubs!

Just want to say thank you Cherubs Kimberley. My son had his last day of primary school on Friday. He's been with Cherubs for a long time and met many really lovely members of staff, all that have been a part of making him who he is today! I'm very proud of him! Over the years, he attended the nursery,
holiday club and then his school's after school club run by Cherubs and always felt he was in good hands.

Reply from Sarah Savage, Operations Manager at Cherubs Kimberley

Thank you for your lovely feedback. He has been a pleasure to care for. I will pass your comments on to the team at Kimberley and after school club.

My daughter attends Cherubs Kimberley and has done for the last year. She absolutely loves going, she asks to go even on weekends. She loves all the staff never comes home with anything negative to say, both me and my youngest daughter cannot wait for her to attend to and have the same awesome experience.

This is a caring, positive and safe place for my daughter to grow and develop. All the staff here are wonderful and those that have worked directly with my daughter have worked wonders with her. They know her very well, she clearly likes them and trusts them, as she will regularly talk about them positively
at home. She is always happy to go to the nursery and is full of life when she is collected. I can't think of a more warm, inviting and family-friendly place for her to be in. 10/10

Our son has settled in well. There’s always lots of great things happening and we feel it’s a great stepping stone to support his transition to school. The staff in Pre-School are always lovely, ready to look out for your little one, approachable and friendly. The wider team are fab too. A real friendly
place. Pre-School can have lots of children in on certain days, it’s always calm, with children playing happily and safely. It amazes me how they have it all so beautifully under control!

An excellent nursery great staff, friendly and helpful. All work very hard, caring and supportive. The rooms are clean, well equipped, lots of good activities planned for the children. Dinners/food no issues good variety. Outside space is great well planned 'zones' for play. We've used the nursery for
4 years and never had any issues with the care our children have received.

Since my son started nursery he has only excelled and been given the appropriate support and one to one to help him develop. He has learnt so much from the staff who have taken the time to help him with his additional needs and due to this, he is now progressing at an incredible rate! I definitely recommend
this nursery and all the staff including the management team! They work so well as a team and communication with us as parents is also fantastic.

My son has, for the past three weeks, done some extra days at nursery due to his grandparents being on holiday (who usually look after him two days a week). I was very nervous about how he would cope as he struggles to have decent naps etc., but he has thrived and it is a credit to all the staff in
Daisy room. Please, could you pass on my thanks to all the ladies in Daisy room and specifically his key worker. My son has taken a while to settle into nursery (due to him only attending a minimal amount of days each week) but the staff his key worker have gone above and beyond to support and help him to settle in. You can tell how much they all care and it is so reassuring to see the support and attention they give to each child. The joy his keyworker had when he finally crawled for the first time was lovely. My son now gets excited to come to the nursery and has a beaming smile when he enters Daisy room and sees the staff.

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.

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.
