About this day nursery

Little Cherubs Day Nursery and Preschool provides comprehensive childcare services across two locations in Crewe, serving children from birth to five years old. The main Day Nursery and Preschool is situated on Gainsborough Road (CW2 7JX), while the Preschool at St Michael's Church Hall is located on Ford Lane (CW1 3TN).

Both settings are dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, with robust policies and procedures in place to ensure a safe and supportive environment. These policies are accessible to parents and staff and are reviewed annually or whenever there are legislative changes.

The nursery emphasises transparent communication with parents, particularly regarding incidents, accidents, absences, sickness, and medicine administration. Security is a priority, with locked premises and strict collection protocols to ensure children are only released to authorised individuals.

The curriculum includes healthy snacks and drinks, with parents informed weekly of snack provisions and encouraged to communicate any dietary allergies. Fees are revised annually and payable weekly.

My Son attends little cherubs on Ruskin road inside the church. He absolutely loves going into nursery. His key worker Rachel glover is just amazing and he has a great bond with her. The nursery is very inviting, and special needs friendly.
