Every day the boys were excited to attend. The staff are all amazing, especially Ms Jennifer. They take extra care and both my boys have learnt so much. I would recommend this nursery 10x over! It has a loving and family-like feel to it.

I want to thank everyone in Cherubins Day Nursery who has made my son's nursery experience unforgettable. A special thank you to Bruna, Shania, Ms Jen for taking the time to learn my child, build special bonds, and for always making him feel safe, heard and comfortable. He has learned so much and is now ready to take on big school.

Overall Experience

From September 2025 until now of this year July, staff have been very helpful in supporting my son's needs in his speech and communication, which I was concerned about when he was 2. I appreciate the sensory room which has done a good job of calming him down when he feels overwhelmed. I like to thank Dawn, Kellee, Bruna, Alyssa, Hanna and the deputy for being very patient with me, from the very beginning when my little one was 7 months until now.

Review from Sarah S (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have had a wonderful experience at Cherubins. The absolute highlight has been the staff, who have cared for our daughter like their own and made her outwardly excited to go to nursery each day (full time, starting from c.10 months). She has thrived here and we are so overjoyed to see the bonds she has built with fellow children and staff alike.

The space at the setting is very generous with a wonderful, large garden sectioned off for different ages. When choosing the nursery, we were really drawn to the outdoor area and focus on play outside, especially in London where there are often space constraints. More generally, we've been blown away by the effort the staff have made to help the children have so many special experiences.

Review from C H (Mother of Child) published on 26 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery has looked after all three of my children over the last 6 years. I love the staff and the environment they create for all the children. Staff have also supported me emotionally over a very difficult time. My youngest cried so much when he started nursery but now he loves it so much that every morning he's asking if hes going to see his teacher and I love that.

Review from Ola A (Aunt of Child) published on 2 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our child's experience there left mother scared and less trusting of nursery staff. Our 14months was put in at a table facing the wall, alone while staff tended to other children at another table eating. Child/baby cried so much & in distress that the parent heard the child from the reception. They had 2 or 3 occasions of skin redness from nappy btw the thights & around baby's waist. The child was not invited to their room's outing.... the baby was ostracised because parent called out their shortcoming from start; for instance, they recorded child sleeping, and at the same time baby is recorded as playing well with others or having snacks or nappy change. Child's lip was bust open from a fall (Child's first time of trying to stand/ walk) while there was just 3toddlers in baby room on the day. The nursery is good for over 2years.... my view as a parent and professional within children sector. The management is quite good at ensuring the safety & wellbeing of their staff

Overall Experience
Our experience has been excellent throughout the time that my daughter has been at the nursery (since Spring 2022), and that remains the case.

The staff have always been friendly and supportive. They have always made my partner and I feel welcome. Most importantly, our daughter has thrived in a warm and friendly environment.

Overall Experience

My experience of Cherubins Day Nursery has been a good one overall. My eldest son came to the nursery between the ages of 2 and 5. My daughter is currently in the nursery and is enjoying her experience with her friends and teachers. My youngest son is due to start nursery soon, and I would recommend it to my friends who are parents.

Review from A S (Father of Child) published on 27 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter joined Cherubins at 9 months and settled in really quickly. She is 18 months old now and loves going to nursery, she even runs to greet her key workers on arrival. She enjoys the food, the outside facilities and the endless toys. The people however are what makes Cherubins such a fantastic place. Two staff members in particular and many many more make it a very happy experience for our daughter. Would certainly recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience
My both children went to Cherubins and left in September for school.
Very caring and accommodating team members from unqualified staff all the way to managements.
I never felt uncomfortable when I was dropping them.

I always recommend them to everyone that I know.

Loving, warm and welcoming nursery. Our little boy has been going to Cherubins Day Nursery for two years and loves it. He's 3 now, and often suprises us with the things he has learnt at nursery, such as alphabet, shapes, numbers and tracing. We are very happy here!

Review from E M (Mother of Child) published on 27 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Cherubins Day Nursery are amazing! The staff in the baby room are so kind and take beautiful care of our child! They make sure her needs are always met and cater to any specific requests we make IE, sleep routine, etc! in our first full week our child turned very ill and the nursery gave her the most incredible care, and followed up daily to check on her recovery. I trust the staff and know our child is safe and happy with them. Her development and confidence have also developed so quickly since starting, it is just wonderful to see. Thank you to all at Cherubins, particularly the baby room.
