Review from R C (Mother of Child) published on 28 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
All round great experience with Cherubs, all the staff are amazing.

Sometimes I find the menu very unusual, that would be the only major change I would welcome within the nursery. I think certain meals are disliked by many of the children so should be changed. Obviously if only one or two dislike that’s personal taste.

Review from Tom P (Father of Child) published on 6 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My two girls (aged 3 and 4)have gone to Cherubs South Normanton for a couple of years since transferring over from the other branch.
My girls adore the staff there and they are very happy. They are kept entertained and they really help to push and stimulate them mentally.
They are allowed to play outdoors a lot and often come home with things they have made or baked.
I couldn't recommend Cherubs enough to anyone looking at a nursery in the area.

My eldest is about to leave to go to school and I want to thank all the staff for everything they have done.

Fantastic, knowledgeable and caring staff. Specifically for my son who is in pre-school. The first place he’s ever been that I feel he is safely looked after and cared for emotionally and with his development and education. Great bunch of people.

My little girl has been in the baby room since April 2023 and the girls are amazing with her!
All staff go above and beyond not only for the children but for parents/grandparents to if needed.

Management are always on the other side of the phone if ever needed and will always try their best to solve any problems.

Overall Experience
Warm, approachable staff. My son settled quickly. Great nursery environment ever-changing to keep children's interest.
Singing time is great for developing social skills. Lots of time outdoors with forest school sessions and sports coaching.
Look forward to preschool tales as this environment seems well prepared to encourage school readiness.

Thank you for helping parents feel confident about the care provided.

Overall Experience

It’s a good thing my child gets excited about going to nursery that he doesn’t even have the patience to give a proper goodbye (but we do a lot of kisses and hugging while we walk down to nursery lol). Overall I am happy with the services rendered and the staff as well. I would highly recommend Cherubs Nursery.

Review from Natalie L (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son came to this Pre School in January 2023 after being moved twice before. Even from the first visit all the staff and management were polite, helpful and kind.
He adores his pre school and he has come on leaps and bounds since he started. He grows in confidence and knowledge and their encouragement and nurturing has shown in his development.
I love how they are with him and how we get reports and photos daily so we can see what he's been up to and how his days have been. I love how they are so active in all weathers and get them outside exploring, the Coach who comes in has made a fantastic impression on him and has helped him get up and out wanting to do more.

The food menu is fantastic and has broadened his palette and I just love the staff and who they all are. I'm gutted he has to leave to go to school, cannot recommend this nursery enough.

Review from Leiran P (Mother of Child) published on 21 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Cherubs South Normanton are an outstanding nursery. All the staff are friendly and professional and clearly love their jobs. My daughter has been there for nearly a year now and she loves it. They made her transition to full-time seamless and it's a battle to get her out the door to go home most evenings as she's having so much fun. They do an amazing job with the menus and although my daughter has allergies she's always included. The facilities inside and outside promote learning and my daughter's vocabulary and sentences have blossomed, she's speaking a lot more than I expected an 18-month-old to.

Would highly recommend it to anyone nervous about sending their children to childcare.

Cherubs have been brilliant the staff made my child feel so welcome she loved going to nursery. Food was very varied and they encouraged my child to eat different things which helped at home too. Not to be so fussy. I would definitely recommend Cherubs.

Since we started nursery, our daughter has progressed so much and is very happy with everything and everyone. She eats so well and loves playing with her friends and just after a very short time she moved from baby to toddlers room.

Review from K H (Mother of Child) published on 3 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All the staff at Cherubs South Normanton Day Nursery are friendly, approachable and professional. My little boy has been there since September 2020 and has gained so much confidence and has learned lots of new skills. The outdoor area is amazing and has so much to offer. The nursery are very good at communicating and keeping you informed with general information as well as information of what your child has been up to at nursery. My son has a speech delay and the staff in preschool have been so supportive in helping him reach his targets and improve his overall communication and language skills. My son looks forward to going to nursery to see his friends and the staff and always comes home with a smile on his face.

Review from V P (Mother of Child) published on 3 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started here at the beginning of January due to her old nursery closing down. I couldn’t be more pleased with how well she has adapted at Cherubs. She’s absolutely thriving and in a lovely little routine every day. She’s eating amazingly also. I love being able to see what she is eating on the app and how much she eats. Seeing that she had “more than one portion” makes me giggle. She’s exploring and hitting so many development milestones which I get updates on each week! I love the golden moments, they really do make my day! I love how she's out in the fresh air almost every day. Rain, shine, wind and snow and she’s out in their gardens exploring! I enjoy all the sessions we parents can get involved with too. Stay and play and have Mother’s Day afternoon tea. And seeing all the staff dress up for world book day was amazing. The staff really do put in their best effort! I really couldn’t be happier with everything you do for my child. Thank you so much.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. They are amazing with my little one and always have time for parents as well. Nothing is ever too much! They have a great number of activities throughout the week and it’s always something new. I can’t express the amazing work that they do and the care they provide!

Amazing nursery. My little girl has only been there nearly a year and wow! She's come on a huge amount. Staff are amazing and very encouraging in anything she does. She absolutely loves going to nursery which, as a mother, makes going to work a lot easier knowing she likes going and knowing she's in good hands. Highly recommend to anyone!

Thank you Cherbs South Normanton, you're the best!

I have one daughter there now in preschool who goes to infant school in September and we/her and the staff will be sad to see her go as she has been nearly full-time since seven months old. Her elder sister went there since she was eleven months old and loved it. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience

This is the first time I have used a nursery and to say I was nervous to leave my daughter would be an understatement. The updates and reassurance made this process so much easier. The staff are brilliant, my daughter views them as her best friends, she has come on leaps and bounds and I believe it is mainly down to the nursery staff!
