The meals at the nursery are all very homely and cooked on site and she seems to love the food. All of the staff are so friendly when I have been to collect her and the nursery looks so clean and fresh.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a five-star review. We love seeing how much the children develop whilst with us and we are pleased you have noticed this too.
We are so pleased we found Cherrywood Nursery and chose for our son to attend. From being shown around before our baby was born to when he started at about 8-months-old, we have been so impressed and happy with his care and all of the staff we have encountered.

We are so pleased we found Cherrywood Nursery and chose for our son to attend. From being shown around before our baby was born to when he started at about 8-months-old, we have been so impressed and happy with his care and all of the staff we have encountered. Our son has loved all of the nursery workers in both rooms he has been in and is genuinely happy to arrive each day. The app and summary reports are updated regularly and are very detailed. Photos are uploaded of our son and his friends and it’s so lovely to see them happy whilst we work. Would 100% recommend.
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.
Thank you for the fantastic review. We always do our absolute best to ensure that your little ones are feeling safe and comfortable in our setting.
Really caring staff who are passionate about their job. Well managed at a senior level. My son quickly settled in and I am relaxed knowing that he is in safe hands who care.

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?
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'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.
I am thrilled with the care and kindness at CherryWood. My son is very happy and is developing excellent skills and relationships.

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!
Thank you very much for your kind words, we are happy you are happy!
One of the friendliest groups of people. I'm so happy that my daughter attends CherryWood. The team are great and she loves going every day. They are so focused on the children's development and fun. I love the app too. I would have no hesitation in recommending the nursery.

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.

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!
Excellent nursery with dedicated staff and really excellent facilities. Garden is particularly lovely. Everything is included and they make lives for working parents as easy as possible, whilst providing top quality childcare/early years education.

I have worked in Early Years education for 10 years, and it is truly my passion. I feel privileged to be part of each child’s unique journey, watching them learn, grow, and develop, and helping to make their first five years fun, meaningful, and memorable.
I have spent my entire childcare career with Cherry Childcare, progressing from an unqualified Nursery Nurse to Manager of CherryWood Nursery. Throughout this journey, I have gained a broad range of experience across different roles and levels of responsibility, which has shaped my leadership style and deepened my understanding of high-quality early years provision.
I am deeply committed to supporting both children and my team. I believe that when practitioners feel confident, valued, and knowledgeable, they are better equipped to provide outstanding care and education. I strive to create a supportive environment where my team can grow professionally, reflect on their practice, and continuously develop their skills so that, together, we can give every child and their family the very best start in life.
During my time at SENCO, I worked closely with children and families to ensure individual needs were fully understood and supported. I am passionate about inclusion and about tuning into each child as an individual, ensuring they have the right tools, strategies, and support to succeed and thrive.
As a Manager, I lead with a child-centred approach. Children are always at the heart of every decision I make. My primary responsibility is to ensure that all practice prioritises child safety, emotional well-being, developmental appropriateness, and inclusive values. I believe strong leadership in Early Years means setting high standards, modelling positive relationships, and fostering a culture where children, families, and staff all feel safe, respected, supported, and valued.
