Both our little boys have attend Cheeky Cherubs with our youngest in his last few months with them before starting school. They have BOTH been very happy there. The staff are all very kind and Debbie is lovely and approachable. They have been great at supporting our children from settling for naps, potty training and language and communication skills. We'll miss being part of the cheeky cherubs family in September!
