About this day nursery

Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool aims to provide a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment for children's early development. They offer a comprehensive curriculum designed to foster growth and learning in young children.

The nursery focuses on ensuring a smooth transition for both children and parents, offering complimentary settling-in periods before a child's official start date. During these sessions, children can become familiar with the nursery surroundings, build confidence, and develop trusting relationships with staff members.

This also allows practitioners to learn about each child's individual routines and interests, ensuring personalized care from the very beginning. The nursery prioritizes a calm and organized start and end to each day, with managers or practitioners welcoming children and guiding them to their classrooms.

Little Cherubs is committed to working with families, accepting various government-funded early education entitlements to help parents access eligible funding.

We can’t speak highly enough the team at Little Cherubs. Our daughters spent a combined 4 years of their early years there and in that time, we felt fortunate that the care that our children were receiving at nursery was something that we never had to worry about. The staff are dedicated and attentive and the management genuinely go above and beyond to make the entire nursery experience something that parents can feel assured about and that the children are excited to be involved in. We feel extremely lucky to have found the nursery and are sure it will go from strength to strength under Chris’ leadership.

Superb! Our child so clearly loves this nursery - eats well, naps well and plays a lot there. The keyworkers all clearly love their job and are very attentive to the children's varying needs. There's good communication with parents regarding the child's progress (what's been achieved and what the focus would be going forward for that particular child). There are also creative approaches to celebrating important dates across diverse cultures. Just a thoroughly lovely setting and we can't be happier!!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Little Cherubs. Our daughter has been at the nursery for over a year and has loved every day- they have fabulous learning and socialising activities. The staff are great, and really show they care for the kids. There is always one of the managers there at drop off or pick up so always somebody available to speak if needed. We have received two really detailed formal developmental reports so far documenting observations and skills that our daughter has developed over the course of the term, along with regular updates via an app with pictures/videos/commentary of what she has been doing on certain days. Added extras like mindfulness session for the parents which is running currently, and they used to have Harpbeebs sensory classes come into the nursery for the kids pre-covid times which my daughter loved. It is also worth saying that I have been very impressed with the way the nursery has dealt with the return from lockdown #1 in making the environment as 'normal' for the children and parents as possible while observing and respecting all of the rules and guidance- I have already fed my positive feedback to the nursery on that. Obviously I can't speak on behalf of other parents, but we see kids going in and coming out of the nursery beaming with smiles every day- and that says it all.
