Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool - Shortlands

Our daughter had a wonderful two years at Little Cherubs! She started at age 1 and continued until her 3rd birthday. It's such a warm, nurturing and friendly nursery with a real family atmosphere. She always came home with a smile on her face. Great updates from the team via the app and at pickup.

My son has loved all aspects of little cherubs. from singing french songs, to doing yoga, to playtime in the garden, to story time, building blocks, dancing and making jokes with the staff. He has been there since he was 9 months and his experience has really shaped him into the little boy he is today - thoughtful, caring, excited about new experience, listening, and insisting he picks his own books from the local library. I am so grateful for the time and attention that the whole team put into all aspects of the day to shape them into wonderful confident toddlers. I had to burst out laughing when he asked for a snack and I just grabbed a packet of crips from the cupboard and my son replied "mummy this is not healthy. i would like a healthy snack, like I have at nursery" ... many endearing moments/photos captured by the staff so that I can still feel part of his day, even though he is at nursery. It is clear it is not just a job for the team.

It has been such a joy seeing our daughter happy and flourish at Little Cherubs. She started in the baby room and went through to preschool. Little Cherubs is a caring and fun environment, and has a family feel. There are a range of extra activities that support children's learning from French to drama, yoga and trips to the farm and panto!

Our daughter has loved every single second of her time at Little Cherubs, and we've loved seeing her grow up there from baby to school starter. All the team have been absolutely incredible, and given her so much love, joy, education and stimulation. The manager and another member of staff have run the place with an amazing level of care and attention, and we've always felt she's so safe and looked after. A few specific members of staff and everyone else have been such superstars. We feel so lucky that our daughter spent the last 4 years at Little Cherubs and so pleased she'll be starting school with so many close friends who've grown up by her side.

What a fantastic nursery this is. I'd recommend Little Cherubs to anybody looking for a safe, friendly, and supportive environment for their little ones. Our daughter started out in the baby room at just 10 months old and the staff were absolutely amazing at getting her settled in - which made my return to work so much easier! She is now almost 2 and is absolutely thriving in the toddler room. We're always kept up to date with their day to day activities via the app, including a log of their sleep, nappies, and all of the delicious food that they've eaten. The staff really do go above and beyond with the activities that they set out for them! Our son is due to start there in Autumn this year and I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd want to send him.

I highly recommend Little Cherubs to any parent!

Thank you to everyone at Little Cherubs! We will be back next year!

Day-to-day experiences included specialist sports teachers, French teachers and dance teachers. I was amazed by what my son learnt from them. The nursery also delivers experiences for the kids and families like Christmas parties, Christmas nativity, trips to farms and forest school. They definitely went above and beyond exemplified by the graduation ceremony at the end.

Our daughter has been extremely happy and well taken care of here. She looks forward to going to the nursery and is very attached to her carers there. We've seen her develop leaps and bounds due to her time in the nursery. We can't recommend Little Cherubs enough!

My son has really thrived at this fantastic nursery. Staff are very caring and the management runs it all extremely well. Staff turnover is very low and my son has formed an incredible bond with his key worker, who we are very fond of and will miss dearly when he leaves for school. I've been particularly impressed by how they have got my son ready and excited for school - support for parents on this front has been fantastic too. My son loves the food and leaves clean plates every day - it's all cooked onsite by the nursery cook and the menu is really impressive. Any niggles have been few and far between - anything raised has been taken seriously and addressed promptly. Great range of activities too (my son used some of his French on holidays). I really can't recommend this nursery enough.

They’ve created a lovely family environment where the staff care for and nurture the children. I always left in the morning knowing my children were in good hands. The management team are also highly professional, friendly and always listening to the parents. Really sad to have left!

All of the staff and particularly his key staff members were so focused on him ahead of the big shift to reception and provided all the tools to learn and understand the transition. He not only developed wonderful relationships but was so happy to play and learn every day, he ran inside barely glancing back. I highly recommend this setting and both of my sons have had wonderful experiences there.

The nursery is open all year (except the Christmas week) with 3 annual staff training days. Parents are kept updated of their child’s development via the app, and it is always incredibly easy to get through to the team. Thank you Little Cherubs!

Little Cherubs Shortlands is an absolutely fantastic nursery which I would wholeheartedly recommend to any parents considering nurseries in the area. We sent both our boys to this nursery and although they are now in school, they still often talk about their time at Little Cherubs very fondly. We cannot thank all the staff at Little Cherubs enough for being so wonderful, understanding, attentive and caring towards our boys during their time there. We miss you all!

Little Cherubs started to feel like our extended family and we were sad to leave.

The staff plan and execute engaging activities for the children, and it's always a joy to see what they get up to on the online log. I would highly recommend the nursery to all.

My son has just finished at Little Cherubs, he has been there for 3 1/2 years and my daughter is currently in the toddler room, I could not be happier. The staff are all very friendly, caring and attentive both mine started at 6 months and I had no worries leaving them as I could see the wonderful care they got.

You are kept up to date daily on their app which makes it nice for parents to receive updates on activities the children are taking part in and lots of photos.

All three of our children attended Little Cherubs and all three flourished. The children learned in innovative ways, received love and support and most importantly were happy! I’d have no hesitations in recommending. Thanks Little Cherubs!

The care team go above and beyond with activities for the children, parties, farm trips, plays, and art shows. Children encouraged to exercise, learn languages, be creative, and practice their hygiene skills. Fantastic place, very sad to be moving on!
