About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

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.

During some very difficult times, the nursery has been exceptional. They have treated our son as one of their own and his physical and cognitive development has been largely thanks to them.

My son attended this nursery for three months (pre-school room) and we had no end of problems, too many to mention here. That bad I've reported them to Ofsted, they are being audited by a funding agency and I'm taking them to court to claim for compensation after removing my child without notice advising on Fri at 7pm. Poor communication, management and director have no idea what they are doing and don't even know their own policies. Didn't have a nursery manager there for the whole time my son attended. Incorrect invoices sent but nobody at the nursery responds to emails or messages left. Long story but we qualified for 30 hours free funding but were still required to pay full fees, even though they can claim for the funding, they don't.
If you have a job or appointments to go to, beware as you will be late. Was left waiting between 20-30 minute almost every day when picking up my child.
I regularly collect my nephew from this nursery and he is always so excited to tell me about what he has been doing. He will always talk about his friends as well as the staff.

Both my girls have attended this nursery and loved it, my third is about to start. The staff are brilliant and there is loads of outside space for them to run around in. It’s in a great setting with lots of nature around! It’s also had a great makeover recently!

My daughter started at Cherubs Ruddington in August 2020 at 11months. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting. Not long after her first sessions, she was able to spoon-feed herself, crawl and was saying her first words. It's lovely to see the bond between her and the staff. It's very clear that she enjoys her days. Although we cannot enter the nursery in the current climate we are informed via the parent's Facebook page and app what the children have been up to. My husband and I are extremely happy with our choice of childcare setting for our child.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We will pass this on to the team.

This is a lovely nursery. It has thrived under its new ownership and we feel really happy with the way they have updated the setting. The core staff have remained much the same in the five years we have been using the nursery and they are wonderful. We would highly recommend Cherubs Ruddington.

Our little man everyday runs to the door to get the temperature scan done and to get going for the day with Cherubs. He really enjoys time there and a big proof of it is piles of photos Cherubs is providing, where he is always busy and a happy boy. Staff is ensuring kids are always involved in various development activities, they are also trying their best to use the app to communicate with parents regards any progress made. Staff is always listening, helpful and ensures any reasonable requests from parents are followed.

This is a fantastic nursery. My daughter really enjoys going and she loves the staff who are always so happy, friendly and caring. I am kept well informed both from speaking to staff when dropping off/picking up and through receiving daily diaries which tell me what my daughter has eaten, when she has slept, the activities she has done and photos of her during the day. I used childminders with my previous children because I wasn’t a fan of nurseries but Cherubs Ruddington has definitely altered my view on nurseries and I am so pleased that I chose to send my daughter there. I would highly recommend them.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We will pass this on to the team, they are all doing an amazing job.
Looks great now it's been renovated and there is definitely less staff turnover which is great. Very happy.

"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."
