We've been at Cherubs for nearly 4 years & definitely recommend it to everyone. Love the communication & outings. My child has definitely blossomed here & loves it. We will miss it when we leave. Staff turnover hasn't been the best over the years, but all the staff are wonderful & go above & beyond.

My son started nursery in November 2025 since then he settled very quickly to the nursery and he seems more confident & happy to play with other kids. He improved his English class.

There have been issues with staffing in the last 12 months and some extremely valued members of staff have unfortunately been let go. Despite this in recent months staffing seems more stable and this has enabled additional activities such as frequent trips off site.
The new app enables us to see what our child is doing/eating/sleeping during the day and having photos of him playing is lovely to see. Overall we are pleased with our experience of the nursery.

The app is always updated a photos are put on throughout the day ! The children have taken on a wide range of trips !

The only thing I have to say negative is we pay extra fees for covering consumables and food but on a little trip out recently we were asked to give some money for a snack/drink (wasn't a lot of money) but I would have expected this to be covered by the extra fees/charges we already pay.

The Cherubs Nursery brand, doesn't really invest in retaining the best quality and caring staff members, constantly changing, or letting them go, putting the children interest at last. Due to this reason, the setting had to close on Mondays from June 2025, with only 2 weeks notice. This has put working parents in a very difficult position. The managment team, relay a lot on head office, due the young age perhaps, making harder to voice children and parents needs or requests in an effecting way. A big positive, is that with the setting being small, children are looked after well and closely. The biggest value is given by each individual staff member (the remining ones) that seems taking really good care of the children. Because of this, kids seems all happy to attend. The branch also organize a lot of nice activities and Stay and Plays for parents to get involved with the children, which are always so lovely. Overall is a really lovely setting, exept for the staff retention issue...
The management and staff are great, each and every one of them.
As soon as we viewed the place a couple of years ago we knew it was right.
Will be sending our 2nd born here without a doubt. 3rd born as well if the missus wins that argument and we have anouther baba.

The team are fantastic - they genuinely care about the children and go above and beyond to make sure each child feels safe, happy, and encouraged. I've seen my daughter grow in confidence, learn new skills, and make lovely friendships. She comes home excited to tell me about her day, which says it all.
The nursery itself is bright, clean, and full of engaging activities. Whether it's creative play, outdoor fun, or early learning, there's always something stimulating and enjoyable for the children. I especially appreciate the regular updates and communication from staff, which keep me involved in her progress.

My children have been attending since August 2021 and they have both always settled well and enjoy coming. They have formed close relationships with the staff and I have always fet they were well cared for and the activities they provide are always well planned and enjoyable.

I can only speak so incredibly highly of Cherubs Ruddington. They go above and beyond and do so much for your children. My child previously had an allergy, and they were so supportive and understanding and put everything in place. Also helped me hugely with weaning off formula. My child loves coming and gets so excited. He has learnt and developed so much since coming, and this is only coming once a week. All the staff are so wonderful, and it's so magical seeing my child gain close bonds with them. I am so thankful to all of them at Cherubs Ruddington.
Thank you very much for you lovely feedback. We will pass this on to the team at Ruddington.
Lovely nursery, modern, clean and beautiful garden for children to play outside. Few staff issues recently left us feeling a little un settled leaving our baby, however, it seems this is now being rectified and I now know who our key worker is. Nursery safe, great app online to view child's progress with constant updates on the nursery.

"Hello, I'm Kayley - Area Manager for Cherubs Ruddington. A career in childcare is something I have always wanted to pursue. In 2014, I took the plunge and started my journey with Cherubs Nurseries - I’ve never looked back! I started as a student and worked my way up to Assistant Manager at Cherubs Executive House before being promoted to Nursery Manager at Cherubs Ruddington in 2021. I have had the pleasure of both supporting and being based at other nurseries within Cherubs Nurseries, which has given me invaluable experience. I also support our Apprentices through their Training Academy journey, which gives me great pride in seeing them succeed and flourish into wonderful, knowledgeable Early Years Educators."
