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.

Since our child has attended Cherubs, just before he turned 1, we have been very satisfied with the level of care and education he has received. The staff who have worked with him have had a huge part to play in this. Our son feels safe and happy in their care and because of this, we have seen him thrive
in learning new things and forming new friendships.
All staff are always welcoming and friendly, including those who do not work with our son, such as the cleaner and kitchen staff. We are also impressed with recent improvements in communication such as the blossom app for parents. We would highly recommend Cherubs Nursery to others.

Children have developed a good bond/relationship with the adults in the setting. The children enjoy their time at nursery and I am 100% confident that the care the children receive is excellent.
Children's social skills are developing well thanks to activities ran at the nursery.
Very happy with all
aspects of care and education from Cherubs.

Our little girl joined Cherubs when she was 16 months old as we moved house and were nervous about moving her nursery. All of the staff in the baby room were absolutely lovely, helpful, kind and supportive and she settled so well. Now she’s moved up to the next room they are all equally as fantastic
- she loves going to nursery and seeing her run up to the ladies with wide arms means I can go to work happy. We’re really grateful to everybody at Cherubs and would highly recommend them.

Our daughter loves going to nursery, especially making use of the different outside areas. Her key worker and other team members make her feel valued and loved and we know she's being cared for whilst we are at work (helps negate the mummy guilt!). She's been going since she was nine months old and
will move on to school in September. We know she will be well prepared for school, such as giving the children an opportunity to perform a concert, learn through play and communicate with her next setting. The team is cohesive and great at communication with parents. There is a real drive to provide a range of indoor and outdoor opportunities. Without hesitation I would recommend Cherubs Kimberley to anyone who will listen!

Cherubs Kimberley have a fantastic team of staff that really go over and above for the children. Feeling secure your child is being looked after is essential especially if you work a distance away from them, you will be guaranteed to feel this way with this nursery.
The food is all made on site and
is varied and nutritious, any dietary requirements are catered for with no issues.
Our child has thrived in this nursery. Me and my husband honestly cannot recommend them enough.

Cherubs staff go out of their way to make my child feel happy at nursery and I couldn’t be more grateful. My daughter loves the nursery and is making good progress in her development too due to the range of activities and opportunities staff plan for the children. The outdoor facilities are also excellent,
especially when compared to some smaller nurseries and the beach is a particular highlight for my daughter. Having external clubs which come into the nursery is something my daughter also loves and she always has a lot to say about what she has been doing each day. We are so happy that our child attends this nursery and can’t comment highly enough on the staff.

The nursery has a very good system for feeding the children what they need to know.
My only concern is that my son should have moved up to pre-school by now (he was 3 in March and won't go until the end of July).

Great nursery, however, shame about the fee's for children who receive a government-funded place.
£20 a week is all of the child benefit (or family allowance if you are older).

The review was one of the best reviews I have had, even though my child is not providing/showing all information on my app, I can see from what the staff have shown me how well this works. Staff know my daughter well, which is very pleasing.

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.

Job Title: Area Manager

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.
