Cherubs Longdale sits on the site of a former Riding School and Stables - set in an acre of protected woodland. The nursery has been providing high quality early years care and education for children since July 2001. 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.

If you’re looking for a modern but rural nursery, overflowing with outstanding facilities, Cherubs Longdale is the nursery for you.

My son has been at this nursery for around two years and the improvement in him each year is fantastic. The staff are very attentive to each of the children and the learning that they do during each day with the play really brings them on.
Highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been attending Cherubs Longdale since she was 1 year old and has progressed through to preschool. She settled into each room easily and often tells us she 'likes school' and 'I've had a good day'. She is happy there and learns new skills and is making friends.
She enjoys the food and
the extra activities, especially those using the lovely outdoor space at the setting. I would highly recommend to anyone.

My daughter thoroughly enjoys attending the setting. The staff have all helped to ensure she feels fully settled. I personally think the activities the children do at pre-school are fab! There's something different each week, keeping it fresh and fun.

My 2 children are always happy to go to nursery and seem very settled. The staff are friendly and supportive. Staff are always keen to give welcoming cuddles in the morning! The rooms are spacious and clean with lots of toys,m activities and displays. The Blossoms App is helpful as it is nice to see
photos of what the children have been up to! Management are also helpful, approachable and can be flexible regarding adding extra days etc. The nursery offers 30 free hours without restricting when these can be used which is also a bonus!

My son loves attending the setting, he always comes home full of smiles. The outdoor area is fantastic with lots of space for the children to run around and lots of different things for the children to do.


The Buttercup staff are so friendly and always make me feel welcome when I get to do the drop-off

and pick up.

We have been amazed how well our daughter has settled in at Cherubs Longdale. She arrives each day with a big smile on her face which is a great comfort to us. The staff are brilliant and have excellent relationships with the children. Our daughter only started in September and even in that short time,
her development has come on leaps and bounds.

Brilliant, the staff are great. My lad always loves finding that he is in the nursery for the day; I think he prefers it to home. From his first day at a few months old to now at 21 months, he's always loved it. His social development is great and I'm sure it's because of the work there.

We couldn't be happier with the nursery. The place is spotless and the staff are friendly and professional and our son is just thriving. His development has come on leaps and bounds and he is a very happy, sociable and confident little boy because of his time at Cherubs Longdale. He loves being there
which is a great comfort to us.

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.
