About this day nursery

Cherubz Daycare Paulsgrove is a nursery committed to providing a nurturing environment where children can thrive and families feel supported. They strive to offer children enriching experiences and opportunities through engaging play, well-chosen resources, and nutritious food.

Recognising the evolving guidance for early years providers, Cherubz Daycare Paulsgrove is dedicated to transparent pricing and offering optional charges for consumables to ensure childcare is accessible to all families. They encourage healthy eating habits and are flexible, allowing parents to provide their child's food and essentials while guiding them to meet early years healthy eating standards.

This approach reflects their understanding of the rising cost of living, with all charges designed to cover operational costs and maintain high-quality provision rather than generate profit. The nursery emphasises open communication, inviting parents to discuss any questions they may have regarding fees or services.

Having 2 kids who have been through multiple nurseries over the years, this one has been by far the easiest to deal with. Friendly staff who genuinely take time to ensure all the children in their care are included in activities. They’ve been as flexible as possible with our schedule and know how to strike the balance of keeping kids safe without sending them home at the first sign of a cough. Never had an issue in 3 years and highly recommend this nursery.

What an amazing setting, my grandaughter graduated yesterday, she has loved being here for the last 2&half years. She has made some lovely friends & will definitely miss all that work here. Emma, Martha & the rest of the team have been an amazing part of her growth from toddler to school ready, they have helped & witnessed her major milestones within a lovely, friendly setting, nothing has been too much trouble & I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough, thankyou for making her time with you all so magical.
