Our daughter has thrived at CherryWood Nursery. The activities, the facilities and the food are clearly fantastic and our daughter has built a lovely relationship with her teachers. I’d like to thank all involved in her care, we really appreciate everything you do. Thank you so much.

Ever since our daughter has attended CherryWood she has been supported by a team of excellent staff. The staff have been caring, kind, understanding and supportive to both our daughter and us throughout her time at CherryWood. They keep us up to date with daily activities, food, toileting and sleep.
All of the daily updates on the app made my return to work a lot smoother knowing our daughter was being cared for. The activities that the staff provide for the children are varied and targeted at their level and help them meet their developmental milestones along with the next steps the staff write for the children.

My son has attended CherryWood since March 2020. He has come on in leaps and bounds. Staff are kind, caring, understanding and friendly. My son has sometimes been a little unsettled when parting from me in the mornings, but staff are always amazing and reassuring towards him. I would highly recommend
CherryWood Nursery. My son absolutely loves coming into preschool now and has made great relationships with both children and staff.

Ever since we first brought our little one, as a 12-month-old, to Cherrywood we've been so impressed with all the staff. Every morning we're greeted with big smiles and we love how much our little one loves his time here. Staff are highly professional but importantly also empathise with you when drop-offs
are not so easy. Well done and keep it up.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our child has attended CherryWood since she was seven months old. The communication has been extremely good and we have always felt informed about her development. We have always felt listened to when we have shared milestones and developments at home, and more importantly, supported. CherryWood Nursery
and their incredible team have been an integral part of our child's early development. Our daughter loves coming to nursery, she has made incredible friendships which have been fostered by the staff and she has made wonderful relationships with all the staff, not just her key adults. The staff are so happy, welcoming and make us feel like every member of staff knows our child so well. Our child is happy, safe and makes amazing progress - what more could a parent want?

I've been sending our son to Cherrywood since September when we moved to the area. Since day one, the care that he has received has been second to none and we are so happy with everything. His development has come on in leaps and bounds compared to his previous nursery and the structure and learning
that has been brought to him is excellent. In addition, he loves his time at nursery and often asks to come at the weekends.

Really friendly staff, good feedback on a daily basis. Clearly take the effort to get to know the children and the parents and keep communication open all the time. Nursery resources are updated frequently, providing a lively environment, a great mix of activities and fun social events.

I am thrilled with the care and kindness at CherryWood. My son is very happy and is developing excellent skills and relationships. Communication is excellent and I feel supported in any approach I choose for my son, but staff are happy to offer advice. I am relieved to have secured a place for my daughter
as my return to work so much easier knowing that she will be so well looked after. My return to work is primarily to offer my children the chance to attend CherryWood and benefit from all that it has to offer!

We have had our children in Cherrywood now for over 3 years. Throughout that time we have had nothing but positive experiences with the manager and her team. I could not speak highly enough of Cherrywood and have tried our older child at another nursery briefly. I could say that there was absolutely
no comparison. Would highly recommend without any hesitation.

Our two boys attend the nursery three times a week. The staff are attentive and engaging with the boys. They offer great facilities and a variety of activities to help with their development. They have been a great help with potty training, helping to ensure the hard work at home is continued at nursery.

Both my daughters attend this nursery, eldest has been here for over 2 years and loves coming here, she's always keen to get here in the mornings. Staff are excellent, go above and beyond. My youngest started 5 months ago and loves it. She is busy and has all the care and attention needed, they deal
with her allergies quickly and have gone out of their way to accommodate her needs. I would highly recommend the nursery to anyone!

She clearly learns a lot here and comes home tired which is great for us.
Thanks to all the staff here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has only been at the nursery for a couple of months but has soon settled in well. He much prefers being in a room full of children the same age as him as he is now able to play and communicate with them. He has come a long way with his eating since being at Cherrywood as he is now seeing what
his peers are eating and is more willing to try new things.


I have never had any issues with my son at drop off and he is always smiling and looking very happy and energetic at pickup time after a long day.


The girls in the preschool room are very friendly and I can already see that he has a bond with them as he always speaks about them after nursery time.


It was also very nice to be invited to the Mother's Day tea party.


Whenever I need to speak with the Manager or any member of staff, whether it be in person or via email, there is always somebody there to talk to or respond.

I don’t often make the effort to leave reviews but after my son settling at Cherrywood in Pirbright so well I had to sing it’s praises publicly.
After a bad start back to work with a very unreliable childminder, my husband and I made the quick decision to move him to a nursery. To my delight, Cherrywood
could accommodate us, from walk rounds it was my favourite.
All the staff are so helpful, kind and accommodating. My son has settled so quickly, it is like we have been there for years already!
I absolutely love everything about this nursery and honestly would recommend every parent send their child to this fabulous place!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.376)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.376) out of 10 for CherryWood Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 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 4.833 for CherryWood Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.833
  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 4.543 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for CherryWood Nursery is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 70 number of registered child places is 14. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.643
  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.
