The nursery is clean and tidy. Staff are welcoming and interact really well with the children.
The rooms have plenty of activities and there is a lovely outdoor area.
The values they have within their statement is really good and they make nursery life really good for the children.

The nursery is very welcoming and staff are friendly but professional. The baby classroom is set out very nice and meets the children's needs. They have been really good with helping to settle my child in and are brilliant with communication. The app they use keeps us updated on how he's getting on
and I love receiving photos of my child in their nursery setting to see what they have been up to.

Reply from Jessica Griffin, Marketing Executive at Cherry Tree Nursery School

We're so pleased to hear that you've felt welcomed and supported, and that the settling-in process has been a positive experience for both you and your little one.

I have two children in Cherry Tree I could use all the buzz words when writting this review about how they nutute my children, how my sons speech has come on amazing, how they helped my daughters fine motor skills improve and she finally passed her one year check up. But the truth is the most impressive
thing as a parent is the the staff and how they treat my children with the compassion and care I would, they are mums away from me, they celebrate all my children achievement as I would. I know my children are safe and happy and that is all any parents really wants in a nursery.

Reply from Cherry Tree, Central support at Cherry Tree Nursery School

Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review! It's wonderful to hear how much Cherry Tree has supported your children's growth and development. Knowing that our staff provide the same care and compassion you would at home means the world to us!

Cherry Tree Nursery is a great place for children, my son has been at Cherry Tree since he was 10 months old and is developing brilliantly, his confidence has grown, and he's excited to go to the nursery and that speaks volumes to me. All the staff have a great understanding of all the children’s wants
and needs, very welcoming and friendly.

Cherry Tree Nursery provides excellent services. I feel at ease leaving my daughter there. The staff are very friendly and warm. They have lots of experience and they do lots of activities with the children. One staff member from Early Learners is such a lovely person, she is caring and warm and I'm
so happy my daughter got to know her. The food is very good and the classes are always clean, I don't get how considering! I am very happy with the nursery and I would always recommend it.

My daughter joined the nursery when she was just 6 months old. She is currently 2.5 years old and she has grown and developed a lot. The work the staff are doing is amazing. The management team is really wonderful and it is clear that they care a lot about the development and well-being of both children
and staff.

We couldn't be happier with how our daughter has settled into nursery life at Tiggy-Winkles. From day one, we felt so confident that she was in safe and experienced hands. As parents, we feel that our daughter is loved and cared for by all staff and that her development and learning has been brought
on so well because of this. The staff always make time for us, as parents and communication is excellent. I would highly recommend the nursery and we are just so grateful every day that we chose it for our daughter.

Fabulous nursery. My son loves attending Tiggy-Winkles, it gets him used to mixing with other children. The staff are all lovely, my daughter attended 12 years ago and it was amazing then, just like it is now.

My daughter joined Tiggy-Winkles in March 2022, the staff went out of their way to make sure she settled in well. After 2 months of being at Tiggy-Winkles she has come on so much in her development, this is down to the caring nature and constant attention and care that is paid to her each day. There
is so many activities that she does, from painting, outdoor play, singing, dancing, activities linking to key events and so so much more. The settling in process was made easy, the management and staff all understand how hard it is for a parent to leave their child in someone else's hands. They answered all the questions I had and are always happy to answer any more I have. Her key worker in the baby room is just amazing, can't praise her enough. It is lovely reading what my daughter has been up to each day and seeing her smiling in photos, which speaks volumes. All via an app, so parents can easily be kept in the know. I am so glad my daughter attends and would definitely recommend.

The staff are exceptional and my child always has tons of fun there. Development wise he is coming on really nicely and I think Tiggy Winkles has had a hand in this. They are very accommodating and go above and beyond what is asked of them. I would recommend Tiggy Winkles to anyone in their catchment
area.

I was recommended to come to Tiggy-Winkles from a friend. They haven't disappointed! The ladies are all amazing, highly qualified and flawlessly organised. They made myself and my son feel so welcome and comfortable despite the current pandemic. My baby boy loves coming to nursery, he already has some
new friends! The girls have even helped me with weaning him to more solid foods which I'm very appreciative of. It's cleaned to a high standard, parking is convenient, the interior is brand new as they've recently refurbished. The team have shown a genuine interest in my son's development and will keep me up to date with how he's doing on anything from meal times to speech and learning. Communication is fantastic, I can call or email anytime day or night, they will always get back to me. Couldn't be more pleased that I chose Tiggy-Winkles Day Nursery.

My daughter has attended the nursery from 8 months old and she is now 3. She loves going to the nursery. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and really make the children feel at ease. The activities are fun and varied, as well as contributing to the children's development.
The information and
communication provided by the nursery makes me as a parent feel confident that my child is happy and safe. They also take care to make sure the children and parents are comfortable with the initial integration into nursery and then into each new room as the children move up.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.467)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.467) out of 10 for Cherry Tree Nursery School 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 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 4.917 for Cherry Tree Nursery School is calculated as follows: ( (121 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 4.55 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cherry Tree Nursery School is based on 11 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 100 number of registered child places is 20. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.55

  • 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.
