  • 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.

Our children have thrived in this environment and I look forward to our 3rd child attending this nursery also. It is loving and safe.


I feel a sense of calm that this is the setting my children attend.

My son has been attending the nursery for a couple of years now. He has had some problems attending nursery as he doesn't like leaving me but once in the nursery they have welcomed him and calmed him down as soon as I have left I receive a text from the nursery saying he is happy playing. He has progressed
with learning. He leaves this September and I think he will miss it loads.

Cherry Tree Nursery has shown excellent care to my son over the last 2 and a half years.
They have been helpful with getting him to manage his feelings and frustrations. This has been very useful for me as I raise him by myself and sometimes need a third party for advise. They have been exceptional
in regards to his learning. His phonics, language and counting have improved so much in the last year. I am very grateful to Cherry Tree in making his last 2 years at nursery such a memorable, happy experience. Thank you.

My son absolutely loves this place. He loves learning Spanish and always talks about his best friend. I wouldn't put him anywhere else. I know my son is in good hands and is safe and well. All staff report to me at the end of every day how he's been if he's eating a lot of not so much. I could not be
happier.

My daughter has been at Cherry Tree nursery since she was a baby and absolutely loves coming to nursery. She has come such a long what, she is always coming home telling me what she has done and learnt. All staff have been brilliant and listen to anything I have concerns about and always act on them
quickly.
The nursery is always clean and safe, the food is homecooked and healthy. I am very happy I chose Cherry Tree for my daughter's nursery.

My daughter has been at Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery for a couple of years and in this time and especially over the last few months, she has become so confident. She is becoming very clever in her learning and this is a big thanks to Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery.
They are very good with
each individual child and they have a lovely well run nursery. My daughter is extremely happy here and I cannot recommend them enough. My other daughter also attended. The team are so helpful! 5 Stars!

My son started Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery / English-Spanish in 2014 when he was 1 year old. From day 1, he was happy there. All staff and management are fantastic, they all look after my son so well and he learns a lot. He is always happy to come to the nursery. The nursery provided a clean and
safe environment for my son. The food menu provides my son with nutritious meals essential for his growth and development. I made the best decision choosing Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery.

My son started at the nursery 7 weeks to date and he has progressed and settled significantly well. He smiles with all the staff and the staff are very motherly, giving hugs and lots of smiles and always updates parents on their children's well being. Learning is promoted through lots of singing, Spanish
and English, stacking toys, outdoor play with animals and plants.

Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery is fantastic. My 4-year-old daughter absolutely loves it. They have a fresh snack and homemade lunch every day. The staff are friendly and very welcoming, always smiling and happy. My daughter always has a lot to say at the end of the day, painting. drawing, cooking,
outdoor activities and playing with Ellie the nursery Bunnie. I happily recommend Cherry Tree to friends and family.

The place a child can be at when not at home. The environment is very friendly and full of educational surroundings. Extremely helpful staff. The manager has met all my concerns and worries that I have ever spoke about, also lovely to me at times. Their outdoor activities are the best, he loves being
in the garden and the animals outside. He has learnt to feed the animals too. In short, I am extremely happy with all that is happening around him.

My kids have been going to this nursery for 9 months now and it has become a big part of their lives. Both of them have flourished, grown in confidence and become independent. All the staff at the nursery are very loving and caring and have become part of the family for the kids. The atmosphere is great,
clean and kids are given fresh and healthy homemade food which caters to their needs very well. I am proud to say that my children go to such an excellent nursery.

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.

My name is Dalia Ros I have been in childcare since 1988
and providing childcare services to my local community


For many years I have been hoping to find a superman to join me in this beautiful field of education and childcare.


After many years of searching and beginning to think that Mr Right did not exist, I found him miles away in another country, another continent that day I saw him stars and lights engulfed his face.


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.
