Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery / English-Spanish

Cherry Tree Bilingual Day Nursery - English-Spanish 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.

My daughter has been attending Cherry Tree Nursery since she was aged 18 months old. The manager has been brilliant working with me and my husband to ensure she does not miss out on learning by helping to rearrange timetables to suit us. Cherry Tree Nursery is helping my daughter to grow and prepare
for school next year. Well done to all the staff.

My son has been going to this nursery since February this year. All the staff has been wonderful and are always welcoming. They are very supportive, extremely helpful and approachable and have always been willing to discuss any concerns in a kind, caring manner.
I am very pleased to leave my son at
this nursery. They show a genuine interest in our son's development. The extra activities are great too e.g Spanish classes, feeding the chickens, ducks and rabbit.
Overall it is a great nursery with diversity and devotion in a child's development.

My daughter settled into Cherry Trees so quickly. All the staff work so hard to work with every child's needs. My daughter comes home with a big smile and tells me about all she has done that day. I have noticed such a massive change in my daughters development. she has learnt so much in the time she
has been here. I couldn't recommend Cherry Tree highly enough!

My son started going to nursery in July. The staff are really friendly and helped him to settle so quickly. They made him feel very welcome. I think the nursery has such a good set up and they have so many gardens for different play and lots of animals too, which I think is a great idea as it teaches
the children how to care for animals ie. food, water, etc. I am very happy with our experience so far and the staff are all professional. I would recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son started attending Cherry Tree at around 16 months old when I needed to return to work. I was anxious, of course, about leaving him but it had to be done. After looking at many in the area I decided to choose Cherry Tree. This was for many reasons but mainly when I met the manager and his Key
worker they seemed very genuine and honestly looking forward to possibly welcoming my son. The cost was the most reasonable locally and being a language teacher I am always thrilled at language learning opportunities in young children as I know that there is usually such a positive effect on any type of immersion. My son settled in reasonably quickly and each time I collect him he is happily playing and interacting with staff and children. I love the fact that it is small and thus able to feel more personal. Staff are working very hard to provide children and parents with everything possible and I am happy to receive suggestions in order to improve. Thank you for continuing to care for my son.

Cherry Tree is such a fantastic nursery, my son has only been there for a short period but he gained so much already, he loves going end enjoys seeing the staff and other children. He knows his numbers and is beginning to identify his colours, his speech is also coming along nicely. He also has a great
amount to tell me when I collect him. The staff have been extremely supportive and helped him settle in, he looks forward to going and seeing the varied animals and always enjoys the meals and tasks set for him.

I highly recommend Cherry Tree to any parent because;
1) The staff are highly trained, very caring and professional.
2) The activities provided are very engaging and stimulate learning and development at each child's pace.
3) They are very responsible and reliable with regards to allergies and care
with children with health conditions and work closely with parents to ensure their child is safe and healthy.
4) Children are engaged to behave well and look after each other and share toys.
5) Cherry Tree is a caring and nurturing environment and my daughter has come on leaps and bounds through her experience.

The nursery is always welcoming, friendly and caring. The staff are loving as well as being professional, they teach the children to share, be polite, have good manners and enjoy all their varied lessons. An excellent start to their lives. The children learn to be independent and confident individuals
who respect and care for others as well as themselves. They always look forward to nursery. They are also learning another language! Fantastic!

I would like to recommend the Nursery teaching team that teaches my daughter. She can now count to 100, she can spell her name, knows colours, shapes numbers, she can say days of the week and the months of the year. The staff are very kind caring and very professional. I am a full time working mum and
I don't worry about my daughter when she is under the care of this team. I have seen her confidence grow and all this is because of this brilliant nursery. They have done most of the job for me!

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 / English-Spanish is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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:

  • a) 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 / English-Spanish is calculated as follows: ( (297 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.99

  • b) 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 / English-Spanish is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
