The staff are really lovely, caring and kind. The nursery is big, but children settle into individual rooms so it doesn't seem overwhelming. Our son eats lots of healthy things there that he'd never try at home.

Since my son has started here, he has changed so much his vocabulary, general learning, he says himself how much he enjoys it here. I'm happy that he wants and likes coming everyday! He likes all the nursery room practitioners and has made lots of friends. We love the outdoor space and that the children
can be outside.

Both our children are at Cherubins Day Nursery and they both love it. Staff are friendly and caring and have helped us when children have been sick or not wanted to be dropped off etc. They always come home happy and we know they have a fun-filled day.

The Montessori room at Cherubins is a nice quiet space with lots of resources available. Whenever I have visited, the children have been calm and engaged and I have seen good development in forming letters, counting and reading.

Review from Laura B (Mother of Child) published on 22 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My children have attended this nursery for almost 6 years, and it's likely to remain a part of their lives for some years yet due to the breakfast/after school/holiday clubs, even though my youngest is starting school this September.


It is a lovely nursery and we feel very lucky that our girls have

been, and continue to be, so well cared for. The manager is fantastic - she ensures that the high standards are maintained brilliantly - and, as another reviewer mentioned, a high proportion of staff have been there throughout the years our girls have attended. I love that they have clearly got to know each of our daughters so well.


Otherwise, the sense of space (and in particular the outdoor space) is great and the longer opening hours have also been essential for us. I highly recommend.

our son is very happy at Cherubins Day Nursery. The standard of care is quite high from the people looking after him. The staff constantly think of new activities to stimulate the children. The outdoor spaces are excellent and they have been very helpful in potty training. I think some of the reporting
on food consumption can be a little inaccurate but overall I'm very happy with the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.566)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.566) out of 10 for Cherubins Day Nursery - Chestnut Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.585 for Cherubins Day Nursery - Chestnut Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.585
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.981 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cherubins Day Nursery - Chestnut Lodge is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 107 number of registered child places is 21.4. 21 Positive Reviews ÷ 21.4 = 0.981
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
