  • Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery, Hemel Hempstead
Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery is for all children and all parents who believe in early learning and having the best possible head start in life.

The nursery is greatly influenced by the work of psychologists such as Montessori, Piaget and Konrad Lorenz who believed most children are born with tremendous powers and sensitive periods for learning. These periods from birth to five years are vital and crucial to the child’s whole future.

Second language learning (Spanish) is introduced during the children's daily routine in a fun way by in-house native Spanish teachers. Children are greeted in Spanish (hola, Buenos dias, como estas?) and asked during the day at meals times if they would like milk or juice (Leche, or Zumo) for breakfast. Children sing nursery rhymes and learn parts of the body, days of the week, months of the year and the colours in Spanish.

Staff have on-going training and a key worker system is in place to make sure parents get regular feedback and that each individual child has their development prioritised.

Children enjoy fun sessions of Spanish language and can benefit from access to a large garden, farm animals plus musical activities with guitar, piano, saxophone and percussion.

I'm so grateful for Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery and the way they care for my little girl. She's always happy there and I can see how much the staff genuinely care about her. As a busy parent, their flexibility means the world to me and it takes such a weight off my shoulders knowing she's in such
good hands. I completely trust them and I'm always happy with the love and support they give.

My experience since April till now has been amazing. The staff are extra nice I like the way they take their time to explain what my daughter learned and her experience during the day. They have patience even towards me when am running late to pick her up. I think they are doing a good job if they have
any concern too they bring it up and the head of school is a very nice woman I hope this continues to make impact.

I've been taking my two children to the Cherry Tree for the past 6 years, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the care, support and love they've received during this time. Every member of the team is kind, professional and incredibly dedicated. My kids are always excited to go to nursery. They come
home with big smiles, stories about their day. I'm incredibly grateful to all the staff for the amazing work they do. Thank you for being such an important and positive part of our children's early years, we will always hold a special place in our hearts for this nursery.

I wanted to write about our experience at Cherry Tree, as my interview with the Ofsted lady was not enough to praise this nursery. I wanted to state that this is my daughter's second home, the nursery is family to us, and I trust my children with them with closed eyes! My children are happy, socialised
well, have friends, and meet their eating habits and needs! They develop beautifully, my 2 year old counts to 15 just like that. They never had a bad day at nursery. They are so flexible and meet all our family needs. I would not take them anywhere else.

I have always been happy with the top quality childcare that my son and now my daughter has been provided with. My daughter loves going to nursery. She's settled well and made amazing progress in the times she's attended, and now she's off to school in September. Every day, I get a detailed account
of the activities that my daughter has participated in, and she talks fondly of her teachers at home. They really know her and care about her academic progress, and I'm amazed at how much she has made progress in the preschool room. Thank you Cherry Tree Nursery. You're the best!

My child is very happy here. We tried other facilities but my child would not settle, infacr he was traumatised. Since being in Cherry Tree, he has been thriving better. When we express any concerns, they are quite responsive to resolving the issue. I am also quite impressed with their curriculum. My
child has learnt a few sign language and Spanish words. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Cherry Tree since he was 11 months old and is now almost 2 years. I have been very pleased so far. He has developed excellent social skills. My boy loves to go and is always eager to enter the nursery upon drop-offs. The owner and staff are so supportive that I feel so confident
leaving my son with them. The nursery environment is so serene and neat. I am very certain that my son will keep going to his nursery till he is of age for mainstream school. The staff truly cater to all my child's needs as well as parents' needs/adjustments.
I have no doubt this is the best nursery in Hemel.

My son is not one with many words currently, but the moment he steps into a new environment, he definitely knows whether he wants to be there or not. Cherry Tree is one of two nurseries (out of many) that my son has fallen in love with. During drop off and pick up times, he's quite expressive about
how happy he is. He wants to go to Cherry Tree even on Sunday. As his parents, this is one of the best nurseries we could've chosen for our son, and we will forever be grateful for all their support.

This is the best nursery my son has ever attended. I have tried him in three other nurseries and it was unsuccessful. I had to pull him out because he was not happy. But since he started this nursery, he has learned so fast and he is always happy to be here. I would recommend if you want a place where
your child is put first and 1 to 1 care is impeccable, bring them here.

I am very pleased with Cherry Tree Nursery. My son has been going there since he was 9 months. He's settled in quite well and now is always happy to go. All the staff are friendly and professional.

I highly recommend this nursery, my daughter has been attending this nursery since she was 3 years old. She is still in this nursery after school and school holidays. She loves to go there and she always comes home with a different experience. The nursery is going through some refurbishment, they are
making it more exciting to children. My daughter tells me each day what new thing is in there. She loves the new outdoor area.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.990)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.990) out of 10 for Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.990 for Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (309 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.99
  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 Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery is based on 26 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 33 number of registered child places is 6.6, which has been reached with 26 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.

We immediately new that we were made for each other. After knowing each other for three weeks we married and then realised we were sole mates.


Cherry Tree Bilingual Nursery became more like a second home to our children homely, full of joy, love and care. Where our children learn to love nature by looking after and caring towards our pets, garden and vegetable patch.
