  • CherryWood Nursery, Woking
CherryWood Nursery, located in Pirbright, is a thoughtfully converted building that makes the most of its village setting. The nursery benefits from two separate outdoor gardens - one designed specifically for children up to the age of two, and a larger play area for children aged three and over - ensuring a safe and age-appropriate outdoor experience for all children.

The nursery also features an outdoor classroom incorporating a soft play area and a sensory space. The secure outdoor environment includes a climbing frame to promote gross motor development, as well as a gardening patch where children can explore nature. Indoors, the setting offers five age-specific rooms equipped with appropriate resources, a dedicated sleep room for younger children, and well-planned changing and toileting facilities. An on-site kitchen, staffed by two caterers, provides freshly prepared homemade meals each day.

The staff team takes pride in delivering a warm and friendly service and remains committed to supporting children’s positive development and preparing them well for future challenges. Parents are always welcome to speak with staff and are encouraged to take part in the many events held throughout the year.

My son settled well into the nursery. He has developed in all areas I would expect and is given additional support where required. He is very happy here and enjoys attending.

All the staff are very friendly and caring. They always say hello and ask after my elder daughter who is now at school. They never mind if you call to check on the children and love talking about what they have been doing during the day with the children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our daughter has been really happy at Cherrywood. She started at 11 months old and has been there almost a year. She loves it there and she literally squeals with delight when we arrive. She has always been well cared for and she adores the staff. There is a really lovely happy atmosphere, everyone
is helpful and friendly and they do fun activities inside and outside all day long. As a result she is learning and developing her skills really well. She also loves the food and eats really well. I literally don't have a bad word to say!

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.034)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.034) 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 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 4.813 for CherryWood Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.813
  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 4.221 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for CherryWood Nursery is based on 8 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    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. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.571
  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.

Aimee Wheeler

Job Title: Nursery Manager

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.
