This nursery is wonderful. The staff are friendly and so enthusiastic with the children. My daughter runs in every morning excited about what her morning there is going to bring her. The rooms are full of tables containing all sorts of activities, sand, water, dollies, shape shakers etc. There are colourful pictures on the wall that the children have made that are constantly updated. Outside are is also filled with many activities for the children. When picking my daughter up the staff always have stories about what funny things my daughter has been doing, not just what she has had to eat and how many nappies she has had. A fantastic place!.
My daughter is very well cared for at Cherry Trees, and I am extremely happy with her care. The new nursery is extremely well equipped, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this nursery to any potential parent. It is not my closest nursery, however well worth the travel!
The staff are always welcoming, cheerful and helpful. They handle the children with kindness and genuine affection. My son can sometimes be a bit clingy at the drop off's in the morning but the staff are superb at getting him interested in the fun activities going on. This helps make the drop off's so much easier.
My son loves his time at Cherry Trees. His key person is fantastic. He had developed a lot since starting and I only realised he could walk while pushing the trolley because staff told me he could! the meals are excellent and staff really encourage my son to feed himself and learn to use a spoon. I have also found all the staff very sympathetic and proactive when it became apparent my son had some medical needs requiring the admission of emergency medicine (luckily he hasn't needed this yet) but I'm confident staff would deal with it well.
Although my son only attends nursery one day a week he always has a good day and takes part in a range of exciting activities. I love the fact that most weeks he has spent time outside in the garden, even in the cold/windy/rainy weather. All staff at Cherry Trees are polite and friendly and I love how everyone knows my son's name. I am always greeted with a smile when entering the building and as I leave staff always say "have a good/evening/weekend." I know that my son is well looked after at Cherry Trees which is all a parent can ask for!
My son is at Cherry Trees and he loves it! Its so reassuring for me to know that he is happy and settled there. He comes home telling me all about what he has been doing, he especially likes playing in the garden. My son has made friends and really likes the staff in his room. His key person has been very supportive and caring when he was settling in and throughout his time at nursery. It has a friendly welcoming atmosphere and I would definitely recommend it.
My son always loves going to pre-school and has a very enjoyable active day each day. He has been at Cherry Trees for over 2 years and over that time all the staff have gone out of their way to ensure he is very happy. Children are all cared for individually and recently the nursery manager made our son a special construction area to play in as promised. She stayed late to ensure this was really first thing in the morning, such a lovely gesture - he was very pleased!
Cherry Trees is the most fantastic nursery for my granddaughter who attends full time. The staff are caring and always provide excellent care and cater for her individual needs. Her Dietary needs are catered for and the meals provided are tasty and varied. She is always excited to come to nursery each morning to see her friends and find out what activities there are. My Granddaughter has made very good progress since attending and I am confident she is in a fun and caring environment which is positively outstanding!
My son has been attending Cherry Trees since he was seven months old and has recently moved from the baby to toddler room. I cannot fault the quality of care at the nursery, my son has developed into an independent, outgoing child with their help and is always excited to arrive for his sessions. The staff are always very welcoming, keen to chat to learn more about what we have been up to and helpful in advising us of methods for helping him to develop further outside of nursery. He is obviously very happy and happy boy = happy parents!

From when we made the move from our smaller nursery building to our current purpose-built eco setting, the transition was flawless and was followed by a huge growth in occupancy. My team are just amazing; although we have grown over the years by double, we've never lost the 'family feel'. Everyone is so positive and caring towards each other, and recent events have shown just what a united team we are. Everyone is keen to play their part and contribute to our success in whatever form that might present itself. Most recently, it has been about adapting to huge changes, and they have done it so well that I'm very proud to be a part of their team.
