Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending CherryTown since he was 9 months old. He is now in the Little Learners room and loves it. He is thriving and the things he has learnt amaze me.
All of the staff make the effort to get to know all of the children individually and our son is happy to go to any of them. The
staff are led by a friendly and professional management team who are always available to help with any questions we may have.
It's a hard decision to make when returning back to work but CherryTown really did make this a much easier experience for my wife and they continue to prove that we made the right decision. I can't thank and praise the staff enough for what they do.

My 2 toddlers have been at CherryTown Nursery for the past 6 months (son in Little Learners, daughter in preschool). My husband and I could not be happier with the level of care provided. Exemplary across the board. There is a culture of real kindness, teamwork and excellence that has been cultivated
from the management down. I can honestly say that the teachers are genuinely interested in the children. They pride themselves on knowing each child intimately. They will take time to send through photographs and feedback on events that have happened during the day. The staff are constantly planning spontaneous creative leaning opportunities, like sweeping outside using brooms dipped in paint! I have been amazed at the high level of engagement that is maintained right up until late in the day. My kids have absolutely flourished. CherryTown Nursery is a stimulating, exciting, safe, stable and nurturing environment. I feel grateful to have found this wonderful nursery and would not hesitate at all to recommend it.

CherryTown is a fantastic Nursery that I would always recommend to anyone. I now have a 2nd child attending and he loves all the activities that they do, especially making anything.
He loves playing in their large garden and their soft play area, which is a great bonus.

I have had 2 children go through Cherry Town nursery and 1still attending. All of my children love the nursery and have very good memory at Cherry Town. All the staff are lovely at Cherry Town which makes it easier to leave my child at the nursery. The nursery has a lovely big garden and a great soft
play room.

The 'learn through play" and close monitoring of development is self-evident and we have seen both our boys grow very positively in knowledge, manners, behaviours and skills. The relationships between staff and our boys are excellent; After four years and two boys in CherryTown we remain supremely confident
in the preparation the boys have received for school, and the boys themselves would echo our recommendations to friends.
Reply from Laura Gregory, Acting Manager at CherryTown Nursery
Thank you for your review. We are glad both your boys have enjoyed their time here.

I have two children in the nursery at the moment and right from the start they have enjoyed coming and you can see how they have developed through the support of all the team members. My eldest is now in pre-school and through the guidance of the staff, she is on her way ready to start school in September.


My

youngest is in the babies room and the interaction he has with his friends and staff is beautiful to watch. I'm very lucky that all staff at the nursery are passionate in child care and this shows in all activities and the stories I get told each day by my children. The food they receive is perfect for them and gives them a balanced diet with variety. The facilities are perfect and constantly challenges their development. Great nursery and would recommend them.

I was nervous about my son starting nursery, however, the staff put my mind at ease straight away and I was confident that coming to the nursery was good for him. The staff are attentive, proactive and highly skilled. My child loves coming to nursery and I have seen a huge leap in his development since
he started. I cannot rate the nursery and staff highly enough.

Great Nursery staff are all incredibly helpful and kind. I have noticed a real improvement in my daughter's knowledge understanding and politeness since coming here.
I love all the activities available including French and Yoga!
Most important I think is my little girl is very happy and look forward

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending CherryTown since 2.5 years of age and I can highly recommend it.
He has attended other nurseries at a very early age and I have felt other nurseries have not provided the same standard as CherryTown.
Throughout his learning journey I have been so pleased with how well he
has adapted and thrived in this environment.
The staff at CherryTown have been wonderful throughout his stages and I don't think I could praise them enough for the love and support they have shown him.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending other friends/family or anyone for that matter to enrol their children here.
Well done CherryTown.

My son has attended CherryTown since he was 10 months old and he has loved his time in the baby room, little learners and now pre-school. All the staff are fantastic with the children and a real credit to the nursery. The range of activities the children are immersed in is great, and the garden is a
particular favourite with my son.

Our 16-month-old son has been attending CherryTown since last September.
We immediately felt at ease during our first visit to the nursery. The children all looked happy and the facilities especially the garden are wonderful.
Initially, we were nervous about leaving him but it's clear he enjoys
his time there and has a close bond with all of the staff in the baby room.
We are so pleased we found CherryTown.
The staff make it such a nurturing, fun place and there's always so much for the children to get involved with.
I would not hesitate in recommending them.

Having moved to the area, I have had experience of other nurseries and this is far the best. I now have two children at the nursery and both of them love being there and often do not want to leave. The garden is huge which is great for my son who loves being outside. There are always activities going
on often linked to a theme or event. My son is also lucky enough to learn French which he loves. Well done to all the staff who work at Cherrytown, they all play a part to make the children happy, stimulated and cared for.

When we moved to the area we looked at a number of the local nurseries but we felt that CherryTown was the best fit for our son's needs. At no point were we ever to rue our decision and the care and attention he received from the staff there was brilliant from day one right up until he left the nursery
in August before starting at Infant School.
Despite having been gone from CherryTown for almost 6 months he still talks about his "little school" regularly and remembers all of the staff from the pre-school room with much fondness and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or send any future children to this nursery.

Thank you for your lovely review. The pre-school room staff will be happy to hear that your son still talks about them. Hope he is getting on well at school.

My son left this nursery last year, but I could not fault them in any way. He excelled in this place beyond what I expected and entered into school confident, ready and prepared, the hardest part of leaving the nursery was the staff - they were amazing with him.


I can safely say when we decide on

another child this is the place they will be going to.


Good luck for the future girls!

CherryTown is a fantastic nursery set in excellent accommodation with great staff. My 2 and a half-year-old son has been in attendance for over a year and thoroughly enjoys his days there. He has learnt so much whilst attending CherryTown and is surprising me every day with how advanced he is because
of their excellent staff and how they are nurturing him to learn whilst having fun.
I am very confident that he is looked after very well and I receive regular updates on his progress as well as daily updates via a parent link app recently introduced on my smart phone and also verbally when I collect him. A warm and friendly environment with passionate staff who obviously love their jobs and children.

A team that have shown a very high level of professionalism and dedication for the whole time. Nothing has been too much trouble for them and you have given your full care and attention to my little man! You are indeed very special people. My son has developed into a very confident and responsible
child and he is well prepared to start primary school. This is all due to the high level of support and encouragement he has received at CherryTown Nursery. I have every confidence in all of you and I would not hesitate to recommending CherryTown Nursery to all my family and friends.


I would like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU and all your members of staff for all the wonderful work you have done with my son and he would miss you all very much!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.925)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.925) out of 10 for CherryTown Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 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 4.925 for CherryTown Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (233 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.925
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for CherryTown Nursery 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 48 number of registered child places is 9.6, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
