Day Nurseries Owned by Cherubs Nurseries in Derbyshire

Cherubs have been wonderful for our little boy. He started at 11 months and at the time, he really struggled to be away from his mum or dad so we were anxious about how he would manage at nursery. However, since starting he has absolutely thrived. He has gained so much confidence and he has the best time. We really appreciate the regular updates through the day and staff always give a great handover. We do really feel that his keyworker & staff genuinely know him and enjoy him being at nursery. We can't thank you enough for helping him settle!

We have been so impressed with the whole team here at Cherubs. We were very picky when it came to picking the nursery - and the team here have exceeded all expectations. We have recommended his nursery to others and look forward to seeing the progression of Poppy.

Lovely staff, always friendly & lots of activities. Both kids here have loved it.

Cherubs have been fantastic with my son who has ASD and extra needs. Including making relevant adjustments to ensure he is feeling safe and happy at nursery. The nursery is always clean and tidy, the children all seem settled and happy but the best part is the staff they are always happy, bubbly and go the extra mile everyday. They genuinely care about my child and it shows!

Since my son has joined Cherubs, his development has come on leaps and bounds. Everyday is a new experience to him, and his learning of the world around him in which the nursery provides is invaluable. We believe as parents that the daisies room has been pivotal towards this. The staff in daisies have always been very supportive and we always feel comfortable as parents with leaving our son with them for the day. The management at Cherubs is also very good and is always there if we have any questions and always makes us feel very welcomed,happy and at ease.

Our little boy has been with Cherubs Ilkeston since late 2024 and it's truly amazing the see the progress he has made under the amazing care of the Cherubs team. They are all super friendly and caring and whenever we have a handover they are always chatting a keeping us updated with how our boy is doing. You can tell he loves his time at nursery and wouldn't couldn't be happier with him being there!

Brilliant nursery and brilliant staff.

All staff are warm, welcoming and approachable, and the regular updates/ photos are really appreciated. Thank you

As a new parent in Ilkeston, I was naturally quite nervous about sending my first child to nursery. However, this place has truly been an answered prayer. The staff have been nothing but amazing, and my child absolutely loves it there. It's made the whole experience so much easier and more reassuring for us.

The nursery app is another huge plus. It's fantastic to receive.

My Son has attended Cherubs at Ilkeston since he was 9months old and we've had nothing but the best care from both the rooms he's been in. He's formed such strong bonds with everyone there, it's heart warming to see. Fantastic nursery!!

I pick him up and he has the biggest smile on his face - I couldn't recommend this nursery enough

Daisies are amazing helping my son everyday so I don't ever have to worry Summer and Saffron have care/taught/kept my son happy and safe and I couldn't be more happy with his experience at Cherubs and the daisies room.

The overall experience from sending my daughter to Cherubs has been faultless. I have only had positive things to say about all the staff at Cherubs especially Summer & Saffron. They have always gone above and beyond and made my daughter go from a very upset little girl on her 1st day to practically running through the door. You can see how much care is taken. The entire nursery is amazing and I can't say enough great things about all the staff who make it run as smooth as it does, including all behind the scenes. Thank you for everything!

The staff are all so friendly and warm, even the staff that arent involved in looking after my daughter, always say hello and goodbye to her by name and wave to her. She happily goes across to them during drop off which shows to me that she is happy to be there. The staff always get fully involved in themed days, dressing up and encouraging the children to do so too. Updates we recieve on the parent app are plenty detailed enough and the handovers are always personal. The nursery from visits, collections and sensory classes have always been clean.

Our Son joined Cherubs Ilkeston in April 2025. He started off in Buttercups room and quickly settled in. I could see from the app updates that he was having a great time. He made a real connection with Daniel and was always excited to see him. He has since moved upstairs to Snowdrops and has coped so well with the transition. He loves all the staff that work in his room. Since being at Cherubs his speech has come on leaps and bounds. He can now say well over 200 words and sing parts of nursery rhymes. When I tell him its Nursery day he picks up his Cherubs backpack and runs to the front door to go. The variety of food on offer is amazing and it is so good to see on the app how much he eats while there (usually all of it) The staff always greet us with a smile and seem genuinely happy to see my son. Its really reassuring when he runs in with no fuss. I couldn't recommend this Nursery enough.

From the lovely home cooked meals the children have to the brilliant learning/creativity activities they do

My child absolutely loves this nursery and always leaves in the most brilliant mood. Any time I've had a concern, the nursery manager has dealt with it extremely promptly and is always so lovely to speak to. It's clear how much the staff care, as my child often talks about them in such a positive and happy way. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and environment they provide!

So happy we went with Cherubs for our son, he absolutely loves going and interacting with all the other children/staff. They are so supportive and nothing is ever too much for them. Absolutely brilliant and couldn't recommend enough.

The staff that look after my little boy go above and beyond to make sure he has a great time at nursery. He enjoys doing so many things from dressing up, to baking, to getting muddy outside. He has been going to the nursery for almost 2 years and it is like his extended family. I could not ask for him to be cared for any better!
