When we first brought our 18-month-old son to the nursery he was very reserved and lacked confidence. Not anymore! He loves coming to nursery and can't wait to wake up and come which makes our mornings easy.

We, as parents, have been very pleased with the experience so far. Our daughter eagerly waits to be taken to nursery every weekday and passes her coat to put it on her as she can't wait to get here and play with the workers and her friends.
She comes home with new skills and is developing rapidly whilst
enjoying herself.

The manager and staff were really good at allaying my anxieties at the start by allowing me to visit an extra time and letting me stay in the family room on the settling-in session. The staff are well informed, polite, thorough, caring, communicate well and have obviously bonded well with our daughter.
We feel very comfortable with the care provided.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Cherubs Longdale is the perfect nursery for my child.
On the days she has nursery, she doesn't hesitate to get out of bed and get ready. She looks forward to it and is so eager to go learn and play and see her friends and key workers in the preschool room. You can tell from the staff how cared for
and loved all the children are. I could not imagine entrusting my children with anyone else.
The preschool room is so so beautiful and clean. No rooms in the nursery feel cluttered and/or dirty.
The location of the nursery is ideal and just perfectly laid out. I'm not anxious at all about my child playing outside and being exposed to pollution unlike other nurseries and where they reside.
I must admit that I am very jealous of my child! I wish I went to this nursery! The facilities, education, care and nutrition she is receiving exceeds everything a parent could possibly want for a child to excel and have a head start in life.

I had two children come to the nursery, and they have only been going for a few months, but both have settled in well and enjoy their days at the nursery. Staff are always friendly and give you a full handover face-to-face or on the app.

I think Cherubs Longdale are excellent.
My daughter has special educational needs, and they are very supportive, proactive and understanding. They have gone above and beyond to help my daughter and get her the extra help/support she needs very quickly. My daughter is very happy here and has a good
relationship with the staff. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.961)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.961) out of 10 for Cherubs Longdale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.961 for Cherubs Longdale is calculated as follows: ( (393 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 408 Ratings = 4.961

  • 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 Longdale is based on 34 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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 34 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 Rachel - Head of Nursery at Cherubs Longdale. I decided to pursue a career in childcare as I grew up with lots of siblings and family friends. As I grew older, I did lots of babysitting which inspired me to work in childcare. I have always enjoyed working with children and watching them grow and develop.


I have been in childcare for a while now and with Cherubs Nurseries since 2014. I have gained a huge insight into childcare by being fortunate to work at a few Cherubs settings including Cherubs Sutton in Ashfield and Cherubs South Normanton. On a day-to-day basis, I ensure Cherubs Longdale is effectively run by ensuring we provide a high level of care and always putting the children, parents and families at the heart of everything we do.
