My son has settled so well and built really strong relationships with his key workers. It is amazing to know he is so well cared for and happy. He is experiencing so much through being at nursery and I would recommend Cherubs Longdale to anyone.

Care for our daughter at the nursery has been excellent. The care and development of my child could not have been better. Keyworkers for my daughter have become like extended members of the family looking after our daughter three days a week. Any issues raised were addressed and communication has been
good. I would have no problem in recommending this nursery to others. The setting is great with outdoor facilities.

My daughter has been at this nursery for just over three years and the experience the whole time has been fantastic - not only have they supported and cared for my daughter to exceptional standards they have also supported me and been willing to answer any questions I have about her learning and development.
Would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Both of our sons have attended Longdale from when they were 9 months old through to 4 years old. We couldn't have been happier with the care they received. A home away from home. I would say that whilst there are cheaper childcare providers in the area, I honestly believe sending the boys to Longdale
was worth every penny.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Nursery setting perfect, it feels so cosy and personable every time I visit. Staff are very friendly and professional. My daughter only goes one day a week, so I am not sure she gets the most benefit from relationships and socialising with the other children, however, I feel that she has settled in
well and every week develops in one way or another.

My son has learnt so much since joining nursery and has grown in confidence. His social skills have been enhanced tremendously and he continues to develop every week. I think the nursery is a great way for children to progress in all areas, in readiness for their future journey. Cherubs have definitely
assisted with this.

Longdale has been brilliant. Staff - all staff, whether directly involved in my daughters care or not are brilliant, always friendly, always show interest in the children around them.
My child has come on a lot since attending and that's only one visit a week. I am very glad I chose Longdale. The
Blossom app that is used is also really informative, keeps me up to date with specific details of her day e.g., naps or food eaten - and the staff add on photos of my child's day and development so I feel really involved and aware of her time here.

Our child has been going to Cherubs Longdale for nearly a year and he has progressed really well in terms of his development since he started as a baby. He seems to enjoy spending time at the nursery and loves eating the food here. Updates provided on the blossom app are great in keeping parents posted
on the child's day and we find it a good way to post at home too. Also, a mention to the staff who are always friendly and take excellent care of the children.

My son is very happy at nursery. It is always good to collect him and get a brief round-up of the day, including his behaviour. He is obviously well looked after and enjoys his time here.

Extremely happy with the care our child is getting. The staff are welcoming and comforting. It was hard enough returning to work after maternity leave but our child is well looked after, made it a lot easier.

Excellent care, food and the staff are fantastic. But... fees rise regularly. Inflexible on extra days. Have to pay for Christmas, holidays and bank holidays.

My little sister attends the holiday club at Cherubs Longdale. She thoroughly enjoys her time there. She tells me all about the staff and what activities she has done.


She has attended Cherubs Longdale since she was 2 years old and has formed some strong bonds with staff and peers.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Cherubs Longdale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.951 for Cherubs Longdale is calculated as follows: ( (332 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.951
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cherubs Longdale is based on 29 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 29 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.

Job Title: Head of Nursery Joined: 2014

"Hello, I'm Rachel - Head of Nursery at Cherubs Longdale. I decided to pursue a career in childcare as I grew up with lots of siblings and family friends. As I grew older, I did lots of babysitting, which inspired me to work in childcare. I have always enjoyed working with children and watching them grow and develop.


I have been in childcare for a while now, and with Cherubs Nurseries since 2014. I have gained a huge insight into childcare by being fortunate to work at a few Cherubs settings, including Cherubs Sutton in Ashfield and Cherubs South Normanton. On a day-to-day basis, I ensure Cherubs Longdale is effectively run by ensuring we provide a high level of care and always putting the children, parents and families at the heart of everything we do."
