CherryStone Nursery

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, they include family/Children's carers in activities too, such as a Mother's Day afternoon tea or the odd grab and go breakfast for those dropping children off!

My daughter has been attending Cherrystone over the past year and they have been great to her. My daughter looks forwards to attending Nursery and we know she is going to be safe and well looked after :)

I love the stuff, everyone is very nice and helpful. I just would like to have more details of what is served to the kids, as my little one is 1 and a half, and his diet is changing so much, it would help me to have a better view of what he accepts and what not, the amount, the type of diet etc... but at this point most of my expectations were achieved!

Have been phenomenal at aiding with my sons, (now 2 years old), development and teaching him good behaviours. He absolutely loves coming in each day and loves the staff as much as he loves all his friends

Her eating has also come on so well.

Both of my children attend CherryStone and are so happy here. It is fantastic to see how they have both developed during their time at the nursery and the new skills they continue to learn. The staff have always been very supportive and kind, and are always attentive to the needs of the kids. The communication that we receive each day as to what they have been up to is gratefully received.

We sent our youngest son to Cherrystone, following the positive experience with our eldest. The staff are fantastic - informative, caring and super responsive. Both our children have medical conditions, and we have been blown away with the support provided to them during their time at the nursery! thank you to all

My child has been attending CherryStone for 3 months now and is part of the wonderful baby room. He absolutely loves going, smiles every time he's dropped off and is learning/developing so much. The attentiveness and care that the staff give him doesn't go unnoticed. As a parent who is extremely busy, I feel so comfortable knowing that he is being looked after and being nurtured. I appreciate the work the staff put into the communication every single day and they are extremely thorough. Each process is done with care and precision.

I can't thank the team in the baby room enough for how amazing they've been. They made my child's transition into nursery so smooth and have been incredibly supportive throughout. The artwork they send home is always so sweet, and it's lovely to see what activities my little one has been up to during the day.

What really stands out is how genuinely excited the team gets when my child learns something new and shares it with them - it means so much as a parent. A perfect example was this morning: drop-off was difficult, and I asked if they could call once my child had settled. Before I had even reached my destination, I already had a reassuring call to say everything was okay. That kind of care and communication means the world.

A huge thank you to everyone in the baby room and the wider nursery team. I'm really looking forward to continuing this journey with you all!

The office team are always friendly and available when needed.

Both my children have attended CherryStone Nursery, my daughter from 15-months (now 7-years) and my son from 9-months (now 3-years). I can honestly say there isn't a day that I question my decision to send my children to CherryStone. The staff at the nursery, whether it be in the rooms, office or kitchen, are superb, they are so caring, warm and lovely to deal with. They clearly love the children they look after and enjoy their work and the children love them too, my son runs into nursery every morning, barely looking back to say goodbye! Pre-Covid, drop-off/pick-up was in the rooms, you could see the facilities were very clean and well stocked with toys and resources. The transition post lockdown has been easy and done safely. There are a wide variety of activities planned each day to entertain and educate the children. I love how the children learn in such a fun environment that they don't realise they are learning! I recommend this nursery to anyone, it has been the best start in life for my two.

My daughter has been attending Cherrystone Nursery since she was 9-months-old. I chose the nursery due to the proximity to our house and the station but when I went to drop off my forms it was pick up time and I noticed children didn't want to go home! They wanted more cuddles from the staff and to go back inside and play. This is when I knew I was making the right choice and my daughter has settled so well despite being a lockdown baby, she happily lets me hand her over and gets excited when she sees her red nursery bag! The staff are amazing and I particularly like that any cover staff are from within the company so they are still familiar faces for my daughter. They go above and beyond to make time for parents and handover and genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs and looking after my daughter. I cannot recommend Cherrystone highly enough.

Thank you CherryStone!

Our son has been attending CherryStone Nursery since he was 10 months old and has loved every moment (we looked at CherryStone Nursery on a recommendation from a family friend as we were new to the area and had no idea about local provisions). The staff are all very caring and my son has always enjoyed attending, no matter which room he has been in. It is so reassuring to know your child will be so well looked after. The communication has always been good, I have always felt well informed and am very pleased that my second child will be starting at CherryStone Nursery in 2021.

Both our children have attended CherryStone since being babies and we are so pleased with the nursery. The staff are so caring, warm and fun. The range of activities is so wide, lots of role-playing, creative and messy play as well as jolly phonics, storytime, fun fitness, soft play the list goes on. The garden is really well equipped and it's great they have such a lovely outside space to play. The food is all home-cooked and includes lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Our children have loved nursery, they've come on so well, made friends for life and it's set them up well for school. We can't recommend CherryStone nursery highly enough.

It’s a lovely place. So friendly and warm and the staff love the children. It has managed to bounce back from lockdown well with no loss of the care and love provided to the children. It’s clean, well-run, great with SEN children and the food smells amazing and I have been told it tastes good too. I highly recommend this nursery.

I have 2 boys, aged 3 and 1 who both attend CherryStone nursery. They absolutely love going there. The staff are amazing from the office, kitchen and nursery workers. They always have a smile on their face and it's a lovely friendly, fun and welcoming environment. Both my boys are developing so well with their social and communication skills and love the variety of learning, games and play that they get at the nursery. The outdoor space is great with lots of toys, playhouse and bikes etc. and the indoor small soft play is great! The activities are age-specific and now my eldest is in pre-school he is cooking and doing yoga, tennis and other sports he hasn't done before which he gets so excited about! I would highly recommend CherryStone to any parents.

My son has been going to this nursery since he was about 6 months of age. He will shortly be leaving soon to join school in September. Over the 4 years, the staff have been absolutely amazing and have taken a real personal approach with my son. We have devised plans to improve behaviour, socialising and of course learning. I could not be happier with the amount of care shown to my son. Would highly recommend this nursery!

Our second child is currently attending CherryStone Nursery (April 2016 - April 2020). We cannot sing their praises enough. Stable, experienced and skilled staff who know the individual children and support their needs; a very warm, creative, varied, nurturing environment; when concerns/queries arose, we have always felt confident to raise it with staff and if needed with management. Our concerns are always responded to in an empathetic manner and agreed actions/inquiries are followed up and responded to promptly, in a way that we felt heard. Stable and welcoming management is a great asset, and the warmth exhibited by all staff (kitchen, cleaning, teaching and management) have always been exemplary. My now 6-year old was very well prepared for school. She stayed in CherryStone preschool until she joined Reception in her current school. The transition was smooth. She emerged from CherryStone as a confident, socially very well adapted, and developmentally well prepared for school.

A particular member of staff in the baby room is an asset. Handing my baby over to her on my first day back to work was easy. She made me feel at ease and the care she has provided my child has been outstanding and second to none. He generally loves her and flaps like a fish out of water as soon as he sees her face on the board by his peg. She is professional and understanding. Nothing is too much for her and she goes above and beyond in everything. As a first time mum, this is all I could ask for in a key person at nursery; for them to adore my child, just as much as I do.
