Cherubs Longdale sits on the site of a former Riding School and Stables - set in an acre of protected woodland.

Spread across 4 age-appropriate air-conditioned rooms and with 3 different outdoor spaces (including Baby Garden, Toddler Garden and Allotment) for children to enjoy - this nursery really does tick all the boxes.

My son has learnt so much since joining nursery and has grown in confidence. His social skills have been enhanced tremendously and he continues to develop every week. I think the nursery is a great way for children to progress in all areas, in readiness for their future journey. Cherubs have definitely
assisted with this.

Longdale has been brilliant. Staff - all staff, whether directly involved in my daughters care or not are brilliant, always friendly, always show interest in the children around them.
My child has come on a lot since attending and that's only one visit a week. I am very glad I chose Longdale. The
Blossom app that is used is also really informative, keeps me up to date with specific details of her day e.g., naps or food eaten - and the staff add on photos of my child's day and development so I feel really involved and aware of her time here.

Our child has been going to Cherubs Longdale for nearly a year and he has progressed really well in terms of his development since he started as a baby. He seems to enjoy spending time at the nursery and loves eating the food here. Updates provided on the blossom app are great in keeping parents posted
on the child's day and we find it a good way to post at home too. Also, a mention to the staff who are always friendly and take excellent care of the children.

My son is very happy at nursery. It is always good to collect him and get a brief round-up of the day, including his behaviour. He is obviously well looked after and enjoys his time here.

My little sister attends the holiday club at Cherubs Longdale. She thoroughly enjoys her time there. She tells me all about the staff and what activities she has done.


She has attended Cherubs Longdale since she was 2 years old and has formed some strong bonds with staff and peers.

Fantastic nursery. Always lots of quality activities and themed days to keep my active 7 year old happy at before and afterschool and holiday club.
He is very fond of all the staff and they always make that extra special effort in knowing his interests.
I wouldn’t take him anywhere else.

We were extremely anxious to swap nurseries and breakfast/after school club for our two boys.
One of our children has multiple allergies, Longdale was more than happy to help/ accommodate this.
We cannot speak highly enough about the staff and their support.

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.

Job Title: Head of Nursery

Joined: 2014

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.
