We absolutely love this nursery! From the very first visit, the staff made us feel so welcome and reassured. Our child has grown in confidence, independence, and social skills since starting here. The carers are kind, attentive, and genuinely care about each child's development and happiness.
The environment
is clean, safe, and filled with engaging activities. We're always updated with daily reports, photos, and progress, which gives us peace of mind. The team does a fantastic job encouraging learning through play, and our child is excited to go every day.
We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing, reliable and joyful place for their little one. Thank you for everything!

Review from G H (Mother of Child) published on 23 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started at Cherryfield just after his second birthday. He was always very attached to home and slow to warm up in new situations - the kind of child who'd only join in at the very end of a party. But since starting at Cherryfield, he's completely come out of his shell. The confidence he's gained
has been amazing to watch and has been noticed by friends and family too.


He's also come home with so many new skills, and it's genuinely lovely to see how much he's learning and enjoying himself. The whole team at Cherryfield is fantastic - kind, caring, and clearly passionate about what they do. There's a warmth in the way they all work together that creates such a positive environment for the children.


His key workers - have built such a special bond with him. Their care and connection with him feels really natural, like that of a trusted family friend. And it's not just them - every member of the team we've met has been just as warm, welcoming, and engaged.

Reply from Jennifer OShea, Customer Experience Team Leader at CherryField NurseryThank you so much for your heartfelt review. We're truly delighted to hear about your son's growth in confidence and the joy he's experiencing at Cherryfield. It's incredibly rewarding to know that the care, passion, and warmth of our team are making such a positive impact. Building strong, natural bonds with the children is at the heart of what we do, and your kind words mean a great deal to all of us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 3 year old and 1 year attend Cherryfield and I couldn't be happier with the care and support they have both received.
Staff are attentive, knowledgeable, caring, fun and are just amazing! They genuinely care and want to be there which is invaluable. I feel that the staff know my children well and
I have absolutely no concerns when I wave them off in the morning as I know they are absolutely in the right hands.
The observations and the online portal is great. Staff keep it up to date so I'm never guessing what they have done, how much they have eaten etc, it's all there! There are also daily photos of the activities uploaded which again just provides such peace of mind!
Honestly I do not really have the words to describe how happy I am that my children attend this nursery. We moved my eldest from another nursery and it was the best decision we made. It just doesn't compare.
Thank you so much to all the staff at Cherryfield!
Reply from Leonie Josiah, Manager at CherryField Nurserythank-you so much for your amazing feedback & such kind words. We are so glad to hear how happy you are with Cherryfield and we of course enjoy seeing your children flourish during their time with us!

Right from the first phone call I had with the nursery through to both of my sons now having spent 6 months attending CherryField, the service provided by the wonderful staff has been second to none. We transferred our eldest son from another nursery having moved house and we couldn't have chosen a
better nursery to move him to. Our youngest son started nursery here and both of them are so happy and take part in such lovely activities all day long. Honestly couldn't be more impressed with the facilities, the lovely staff and how much our boys enjoy it. Fully deserving of their rating!
Reply from Lauren Corley, Manager at CherryField NurseryThank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to have the boys in our care and are glad they have settled well.

Our daughter has been at CherryField Nursery since she was 1 year old. We felt this was early to take her and felt worried about her settling. The staff in the baby room have been amazing at reassuring both her and us and making her feel visibly comfortable. Everyday updates, personal, genuine feedback
and friendly chats in the hallway show us our daughter feels safe and happy every day! It seems the idea that each child has unique needs is incorporated in all activities. CherryField truly feels like a community with its biggest asset being caring staff members (including all team members!) that seem to have a genuine interest in the well-being and development of the children. Thank you!
Reply from Lauren Corley, Manager at CherryField NurseryThank you for such kind words; we are so glad that you are happy with how your daughter is doing at the nursery and the team.

My son is in the preschool room and has been at CherryField since 1 year old. We love all the staff as they are so caring and willing to go the extra mile. The office ladies are brilliant, we will miss everyone when my son moves on to reception. We have enjoyed sending our children to Cherryfield in
the last 6 years.

A superb and friendly nursery. My child is delighted to run in every day, and every evening will talk about her friends and key workers. We feel happy and secure that our daughter loves her environment and that she learns and develops above and beyond her age limit! We love the staff and couldn’t think
of a better place for our daughter! Thank you.

I cannot recommend Cherryfield enough! The staff in the baby room have done an amazing job at settling my baby into nursery life. She absolutely loves going there, and is now visiting to the next room and again is enjoying this transition. The staff go above and beyond to ensure the children in their
care are happy and thriving. She comes home with artwork which is a special touch especially the Mother's Day card. My baby loves the meals, she always eats everything and I am very happy sending her to the nursery. I would highly recommend Cherryfield Nursery!

My child’s key worker is fab! She has taken the time to get to know my daughter and they have a wonderful relationship. All of the workers at Cherryfield including those that are not normally in the baby room are always friendly, welcoming and super helpful! The room is always clean and tidy, the food
menu has a great variety and will offer an alternative snack if my daughter doesn’t eat the main lunch so that she doesn’t go hungry. The teachers work hard to set the room up with different activities to improve key skills. My daughter absolutely loves messy play and anything to do with arts and crafts all thanks to the nursery.
I also think the security at Cherryfield is brilliant. Coded doors from outside to inside and each areas and a separate password too for those not parents collecting.
Reply from Lauren Wright, Manager at CherryField NurseryThank you so much for your kind words, it is lovely to read such positive feedback. To hear how the staff and nursery environment has made a difference to your daughter and her development makes us so proud.

We are incredibly happy with CherryField Nursery. The staff are friendly, warm and caring and do a variety of activities to help develop and engage the children. I have two children who currently attend and all staff members have a great relationship with them both. The support they have given my eldest
child, who required some additional development, has been outstanding. Both children arrive and leave happy each day, their daily app updates and photos are pretty impressive too! We can't recommend CherryField enough.

My daughter has been attending CherryField Nursery since she was twelve months. We have seen great progress in her development and all her milestones. The teachers are very loving and caring. Regular feedback is provided to parents. The nursery is also very organised with its internal operations, upcoming

This setting has blown us away. They are caring, nurturing and educational and have an excellent communication policy. Compared to a previous setting we used for our eldest child previously, they are miles apart - in a great way! We love how much our child loves going in with no tears and the bond she
developed with staff and friends. I'd love for them to have more extra-curricular lessons like music sports etc.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.629)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.629) out of 10 for CherryField Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 5 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 4.917 for CherryField Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.917
  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 3.712 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for CherryField Nursery is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 118 number of registered child places is 23.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 23.6 = 0.212
  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.
