What a fantastic nursery this is. I'd recommend Little Cherubs to anybody looking for a safe, friendly, and supportive environment for their little ones. Our daughter started out in the baby room at just 10 months old and the staff were absolutely amazing at getting her settled in - which made my return to work so much easier! She is now almost 2 and is absolutely thriving in the toddler room. We're always kept up to date with their day to day activities via the app, including a log of their sleep, nappies, and all of the delicious food that they've eaten. The staff really do go above and beyond with the activities that they set out for them! Our son is due to start there in Autumn this year and I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd want to send him.

We have had a fantastic experience at Little Cherubs Day Nursery. My son attended the pre-school room and settled in very quickly which is a testament to the staff as he is quite apprehensive in new environments. I've seen him grow in confidence which has prepared him well for primary school. The nursery's facilities are excellent, and there are some great classes, celebrations and excursions organised by the nursery which my son really enjoyed. I highly recommend Little Cherubs to any parent!

Little Cherubs Shortlands is a wonderful nursery with a true family feel. My three daughters went there over the course of 7 years and we couldn't have found a better nursery in the area! My youngest daughter started there at the age of 8 months and has progressed through toddler room and pre-school. The staff in all rooms really care and pay attention to children's character- all three of mine were shy but have come out of their shell and thrived there through stimulating activities, kind care and attention! Additional praise goes to management who ensure a strong family feel and that everything is run smoothly. The food is cooked on-site and is healthy and nutritious. Thank you to everyone at Little Cherubs! We will be back next year!

This is an excellent nursery with longstanding staff that go out of their way to form meaningful relationships with the children. My son started as a young baby and graduated at the end of pre-school. He was a challenging baby, but the staff persevered and built a close and loving relationship with him. The baby room is small with very experienced staff (shout out to one staff member!). Having this level of care was much valued during lockdown when we had no access to people beyond our immediate family unit. As he grew older the team fostered his interests delivering far beyond what you might expect for a nursery/preschool. Day-to-day experiences included specialist sports teachers, French teachers and dance teachers. I was amazed by what my son learnt from them. The nursery also delivers experiences for the kids and families like Christmas parties, Christmas nativity, trips to farms and forest school. They definitely went above and beyond exemplified by the graduation ceremony at the end.

Our daughter has been extremely happy and well taken care of here. She looks forward to going to the nursery and is very attached to her carers there. We've seen her develop leaps and bounds due to her time in the nursery. We can't recommend Little Cherubs enough!

My son has really thrived at this fantastic nursery. Staff are very caring and the management runs it all extremely well. Staff turnover is very low and my son has formed an incredible bond with his key worker, who we are very fond of and will miss dearly when he leaves for school. I've been particularly impressed by how they have got my son ready and excited for school - support for parents on this front has been fantastic too. My son loves the food and leaves clean plates every day - it's all cooked onsite by the nursery cook and the menu is really impressive. Any niggles have been few and far between - anything raised has been taken seriously and addressed promptly. Great range of activities too (my son used some of his French on holidays). I really can't recommend this nursery enough.

Little Cherubs is the most wonderful nursery - I highly recommend! They’ve created a lovely family environment where the staff care for and nurture the children. I always left in the morning knowing my children were in good hands. The management team are also highly professional, friendly and always listening to the parents. Really sad to have left!

My youngest son left Little Cherubs in September 2023, ready for ‘big school’. He has been nurtured, loved and cared for in his two years there and was totally prepared for the change ahead of him. All of the staff and particularly his key staff members were so focused on him ahead of the big shift to reception and provided all the tools to learn and understand the transition. He not only developed wonderful relationships but was so happy to play and learn every day, he ran inside barely glancing back. I highly recommend this setting and both of my sons have had wonderful experiences there.

The family-run nature transcends through all of the rooms and you really get the sense that decisions are made with empathy and consideration towards each family’s personal situation. My son has additional needs and we received support every step of the way; the nursery went over and above to ensure that reasonable adjustments were made to appropriately support my son – the care and concern is genuine and I doubt we would have received this personal touch elsewhere. Trips include a local farm, Forest School and a Christmas pantomime. In-house events include the Christmas nativity, art evening and preschool graduation. Celebrated events include Easter, Halloween, Diwali and Christmas alongside a children's charity and walking week. The nursery is open all year (except the Christmas week) with 3 annual staff training days. Parents are kept updated of their child’s development via the app, and it is always incredibly easy to get through to the team. Thank you Little Cherubs!

Little Cherubs Shortlands is an absolutely fantastic nursery which I would wholeheartedly recommend to any parents considering nurseries in the area. We sent both our boys to this nursery and although they are now in school, they still often talk about their time at Little Cherubs very fondly. We cannot thank all the staff at Little Cherubs enough for being so wonderful, understanding, attentive and caring towards our boys during their time there. We miss you all!

We were very sad to leave Little Cherubs Nursery as we were moving away. My child joined the baby room at 8 months and we could not have been more reassured and happy with her settling into the nursery. We were kept informed by the app and it had very thorough information daily about her number of nappies, food and general updates about what she had been up to that week. We loved receiving these updates as they showed my child enjoying playing with her friends and nursery life. The staff were extremely professional but also caring and loving of watching our daughter develop. They encouraged her to learn and grow in such a positive and educational way. The nursery has helped my child with her social skills and speech and she is so happy to play independently and seek to learn through play, together with sharing with her friends and taking turns all vital for her development. Little Cherubs started to feel like our extended family and we were sad to leave.

Our son was at Little Cherubs from 10 months until he left for reception (age 4). During that time he enjoyed great care and support from staff in the baby and toddler rooms and preschool. He always speaks fondly of the staff and is really well prepared for school now. The staff plan and execute engaging activities for the children, and it's always a joy to see what they get up to on the online log. I would highly recommend the nursery to all.

My son has just finished at Little Cherubs, he has been there for 3 1/2 years and my daughter is currently in the toddler room, I could not be happier. The staff are all very friendly, caring and attentive both mine started at 6 months and I had no worries leaving them as I could see the wonderful care they got.
11 September 2023
I would highly recommend Little Cherubs Shortlands. My son has been going here since baby room and the staff are very friendly and welcoming all the time. The nursery provides a good environment for the children and my son has made many friends here and his confidence has truly grown. You are kept up to date daily on their app which makes it nice for parents to receive updates on activities the children are taking part in and lots of photos.

All three of our children attended Little Cherubs and all three flourished. The children learned in innovative ways, received love and support and most importantly were happy! I’d have no hesitations in recommending. Thanks Little Cherubs!

Very happy and caring environment for children to grow. Carefully and thoughtfully managed, and just the right number of children. The Baby room is quite small, but ideal for snuggly environment. The facilities generally are extremely clean, bright, nicely decorated with happy pictures of the children and team, and well organised. The care team go above and beyond with activities for the children, parties, farm trips, plays, and art shows. Children encouraged to exercise, learn languages, be creative, and practice their hygiene skills. Fantastic place, very sad to be moving on!

My daughter attended Little Cherubs from preschool. Having been in a different nursery setting prior, she settled in immediately. The staff were very welcoming and always provided great updates, especially via the app. My daughter was very shy and Little Cherubs went above and beyond to build a plan to help boost her confidence. It worked wonders and I could see her flourish week by week and form great friendships. The preschool key workers were proactive in getting the children ready for big school and worked on activities to help them understand the new and exciting changes coming their way. The planned activities and graduation were organised to perfection. Thank you to the team for giving my daughter great memories and a fantastic platform to begin her academic journey. I am hoping my son secures a place in the new year so he can experience a 5* nursery.

What a fantastic nursery this is! We have two children who both attended little cherubs, the nurturing and care in the baby room with attention to all their needs was exactly what we were hoping for. The guidance and relationships built to transition into toddler room and subsequently pre-school were so smooth and well supported by all the staff. We are very sad to leave and thank all the staff who have looked after our children daily for a number of years. Would recommend this to anybody who is looking for a supportive, reliable and caring environment for their children.

Little Cherubs is fab! My son joined the toddler room at fifteen months and has just left the preschool to join reception. The staff spend time building really strong bonds with the children and he was sad to leave them all. The activities organised by the team both on and off site are varied and fun. Especially over the last year when the children have been able to enjoy some day trips again. Thank you to the Manager and the team for being such an important part of his development and preparing him so well for his next step. My little girl is due to join in January and I look forward to her Little Cherubs journey as well.

Fantastic experience using Little Cherubs. My daughter absolutely loved her time there and had a great relationship with her carers. Everything was well organised and we were always kept in the loop of the goings on through the parents' app. The food was nice too, they provide 4 meals a day and you can even see the daily menu and how much your child ate. Hours are 8am - 6pm. They even had a graduation ceremony when my child left for big school with gowns and everything. Will definitely enrol my son when he's a bit older.
