My little boy started with Cherubs Nursery at the start of the year and has settled so well. The staff have been fantastic, very informative on how his day has been and completing the app. They were so supportive of settling and sending us information to help get our little boy ready. He always has
a great time, lots of activities and enjoys the food too. It was lovely to attend a stay and play to see what they get up to.

Our toddler has settled in really well in the baby room at Cherubs Ruddington since starting last summer and loves spending time with the staff and other children doing a wide variety of interesting activities. The staff are really attentive and engaging and have been more than happy to help with any
queries we've had. The rooms have a very friendly atmosphere and lots of interesting things to explore, and our toddler loves going out into the large garden. Parents are always made welcome and we have enjoyed attending various stay and play evenings and picnics. The options available for attendance timings for short/long days have also been really helpful.

My child has been attending Cherubs Ruddington for a year and he loves it. The staff are friendly, and the activities and food options are varied. I appreciate the monthly update emails, and daily app updates of photos and information about their day. Although this does come at the end of the day, as
opposed to during the day. I would recommend Cherubs Ruddington to anyone, and I do!

Having recently moved our children from another setting, we can’t praise Cherubs enough. It was a big decision to move nurseries, but the team at Cherubs were hugely supportive and helped answer all our questions and supported us with the settling in process. Since being at the nursery we have been
nothing but impressed with the range of activities they do with the children. Also the level of communication we have is fantastic, we get daily updates of meals, naps and daily activities, including photographs. Since being there the nursery has also hosted a couple of evenings for parents to attend, which have been very well organised and a lovely way to get to know the team. Overall a really happy and positive experience.

Cherubs have been absolutely amazing with settling our daughter into nursery! The whole team have gone above and beyond to really get to know her and make her feel comfortable. She absolutely loves nursery and she is constantly learning and developing, even in the short time she has been there. The
team working in her room are absolutely amazing with her, as well as the wider team who have also taken the time to get to know her. We feel so informed with what she gets up to during the day and what skills the team are working on with her, and she is always doing new and exciting activities. Her confidence has grown so much and we couldn't be happier with the care Cherubs provide. Thank you!

Our son has been attending Cherubs in Ruddington for just over 2 years now, and he loves it. The staff are brilliant in supporting and challenging him, the setting is perfect for his development, and he is extremely happy there. We can directly attribute a lot of his development, confidence and communication,
to the brilliant childcare and character building they offer here. Thank you Cherubs.

My daughter loves attending Cherubs Ruddington Day Nursery, all the staff in the nursery are polite, kind, caring, attentive and thorough in their care of my daughter and all other children who attend.
Her numeracy and literacy skills are developing and it's really nice to see this as a result of the
activities she does at nursery.
The only negative is, I believe, head office communication and openness are lacking and could be improved.

Great setting with great resources, including the outdoor space.
Freshly cooked, high-quality meals made.
Preschool staff are great, however, there are frequent staff changes.
There is an update emailed monthly so parents are kept informed this way as well as via the app.
Fees have increased somewhat
recently, although I understand external factors do impact on this.

My son has been attending Cherubs Ruddington Day Nursery for almost a year now and has formed great bonds with the staff and children. He is excited to come to nursery every day and comes home telling us stories about what he and his friends have been doing. The snowdrops team have supported his development
and he is so excited to move into the preschool room in the coming months. Thank you Ruddington and keep up the great work!

The nursery has an amazing range of toys, books, equipment and we are always impressed with the activities our child does. There seems to be a big focus on diversity and inclusion which we are very pleased about. The management of the nursery in the past six months has seemed much more consistent and
engaged/organised. It would be good to have more information posted on the app e.g. daily updates or upcoming events.

My son has settled so well, he loves coming in. Coming here has helped with his speech and he loves playing with other children. He now has more routine and his behaviour is so much better, as he is beginning to communicate more of his needs. His eating habits have improved, trying new and different
foods he wouldn't normally do.

My son has been attending for eighteen months, in this time he has developed extremely well and this is definitely down to the way staff engage and teach him.
The setting is lovely with a newly refurbished outdoor space.
I have always found the staff friendly and helpful. My son loves the staff

We currently have two kids at Cherubs Ruddington Day Nursery, aged 1 and 4, attending three days a week. We moved them here during the pandemic due to it being close.
They offer short day options, which helps the cost. The kids are making some great little friends, are always keen to go, come home
with a bag full of drawings and positive things to say. The nursey recently had the outdoor play space redesigned and rebuilt which looks fantastic. Other facilities are also great.
The staff are always friendly and helpful. There are plenty of photos from activities they do during the day. The food is excellent and they are always fed well. Though they do occasionally come home thirsty. We often walk to Cherubs and there is a busy road next to the nursery which can be a hazard to get across safely during rush hours, though this is not the nursery's fault. Plenty of parking around the back.
All in all, an excellent nursery and I am proud to have my children attend!

This nursery have such a dedicated and caring team, and it has been brilliant to see our son thrive since he started there 6 months ago. My husband and I have been thrilled with his development, and to see his confidence grow, with lots of outside space and daily updates from the app - we feel like
we are also a part of his journey there. Most importantly our son is happy, it seems like everyone knows his name, and you are always greeted with a smile. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter has attended Cherubs Ruddington Day Nursery since she was 9-months-old, she will be 2 in May this year. I can't thank the nursery staff enough at Cherubs Ruddington for how fantastic they are with my daughter. Her speech and communication skills are out of this world and her imagination
when playing is incredible. I love to hear her singing all the nursery rhymes she has learnt each week and telling me all the names of the key workers in her room! She is always excited to get to nursery in the morning and often asks if she can go on weekends too! I love that we receive updates through the app on what our daughter has done throughout her day and seeing pictures on social media is also reassuring that she is enjoying herself. She receives a balanced diet and enjoys her food. Most of all, she loves playing outdoors and Cherubs facilities are absolutely outstanding.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.634)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.634) out of 10 for Cherubs Ruddington is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.684 for Cherubs Ruddington is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.684
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cherubs Ruddington is based on 18 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.95
    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 55 number of registered child places is 11, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
