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).

We have used Cherubs for 6 years and have our second child here at the moment. They have always had a good reputation and we are very satisfied.

Both my children have come to this nursery. Staff have been fantastic in terms of care, learning and accommodating needs. Both my children have grown in confidence and shown good attachment to their key worker. They have always been happy to come to nursery. We have worked with staff to develop areas
of development based on their care plan and have found feedback useful and staff really keen to help us. Thank you Cherubs Kimberley.

My nephews attended this nursery up until they left to go to school and now attend holiday club. The nursery is fantastic. The activities they do are out of this world and they never want to go home when either myself or their parents go to pick up. The staff are longstanding and are full of knowledge
and so kind polite and professional. Could not recommend it enough.

My child went to Cherubs Kimberley when he was two and he left to go to school and now goes to the holiday club. Amazing staff team, very caring and genuine. Would recommend any parent to go and have a look round the nursery and kids club (holiday club). They offer amazing experiences for children and
staff are very friendly you can tell they enjoy working there.

Cherubs provides my 2 girls with home from home care, a relaxed and warm environment. The children are at the heart of everything they do, the manager is creative and innovative, always keen to allow the children to be the catalyst for the focus of activities.
My daughter is in pre school now and
started when she was 8 months old, in all that time, I've been very happy to drop her off and leave her under the care of the Cherubs team knowing that she'll have a great day!

Cherubs is such a lovely nursery. My daughter has been going for nearly 2 years and always looks forward to going. There is such a wide range of activities available for her to do I know that she is kept occupied all day. Her development has come on no end since attending this nursery.

Cherubs Kimberley has been fantastic with our boys over the last three years. They take the time to get to know the individual child and work to their capabilities, encouraging and challenging them to maximise their potential. All the staff are friendly and approachable. The setting has been incredibly
flexible following the arrival of our third son and he was signed up to attend before he was born. We considered moving them to a nursery closer to our home but having visited several local nurseries we would rather do the 20 mile round trip to Cherubs Kimberley.

The team are fantastic. They organised a preschool carol concert which was done really well and the children were great. We really enjoyed watching them and my daughter loved doing it too. Father Christmas and Charlie the Bear also visited them which my daughter was excited about. There was also a food
box for families less fortunate which my daughter made sure we took something in each day. I think it's really important to understand that Christmas is also about giving and for us to help our local community. Overall the nursery is great, the staff are lovely and they take genuine care and interest in the children.

I have 2 children in the nursery and both are very happy. Although children have a named key worker all staff in each room seem to be very familiar with all children. They talk to you as parents to find out your concerns and areas that you would like them to work on with your child. My eldest still
talks to all the staff he sees and likes them all. Very happy with the care provided and the nursery is very flexible and understanding.

3 of my children have attended this nursery. This nursery is amazing. The staff have changed over the years but the management has stayed the same. The manager is so kind and understanding. They take the time to get to know your child and your child's needs. And help in every way possible. My daughter
is currently undergoing speech therapy and they and her key worker are going above and beyond to assist her in the therapy. I wouldn't send my child to any other nursery. Cherubs in Kimberley is a safe and very positive place to provide day to day care for your child.

The amount and variety of outdoor space (and animals) is wonderful as are all the staff. Learning is fully supported in many different ways for all ages. Parents are supported and listened to. Food is varied and cooked from fresh on the premises. I fully recommend this nursery to other parents, especially
those with children that love to play outside.

My son has attended this nursery for over a year and I am very pleased with his progress. He is a naturally shy child, but thanks to the nursery he has grown in confidence and learned to get on well with other children. He is always happy to go to nursery in a morning, and greatly enjoys the range of
activities he does there.

My son who is almost 4 and my daughter who is 1 both attend Cherubs Kimberley. We've always been extremely happy with the care they receive. Even when I'm swapping sessions and adding days last minute due to my work, they are always happy to accommodate and the kids always have a great time. Thank you
as always.

My son has been attending Cherubs since November 2015 after we swapped from a childminder. It was the best decision we could have made, he has come on leaps and bounds during his time there. The staff are really friendly and helpful and our son is very happy when he is there. Cherubs has some lovely
features such as the different animals outside including chickens and rabbits and the lovely beach area and playground outside. I would recommend the nursery to anyone.

My Daughter started attending Cherubs Kimberley 2 years ago when she was 6 months old. This is an excellent nursery. Staff are friendly and bond with the children quickly. Communication is good, we are given a sheet with information about food and activities at the end of each day. Although the building
is an old Victorian school the facilities are modern, clean and well maintained. They are always developing and improving areas to make it a stimulating environment for the children. The management are excellent and deal with any questions very promptly.
My Daughter is very happy and looks forward to going to Nursery. Nursery has helped her development. I have recommended the nursery to many friends and family who are all as happy with the nursery as we have been.
An excellent nursery that we feel lucky to have found!

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 135 number of registered child places is 27, 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.
