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.

We have been very satisfied with the care provided during the transition of our child into the nursery. Our Son has shown a marked improvement since he started and we believe this has been directly a result of his time at Cherubs.

My daughter thoroughly enjoys attending the setting. The staff have all helped to ensure she feels fully settled. I personally think the activities the children do at pre-school are fab! There's something different each week, keeping it fresh and fun.

My 2 children are always happy to go to nursery and seem very settled. The staff are friendly and supportive. Staff are always keen to give welcoming cuddles in the morning! The rooms are spacious and clean with lots of toys,m activities and displays. The Blossoms App is helpful as it is nice to see photos of what the children have been up to! Management are also helpful, approachable and can be flexible regarding adding extra days etc. The nursery offers 30 free hours without restricting when these can be used which is also a bonus!

Hello, I'm Laura - Area Manager for Cherubs South Longdale. I have been part of Cherubs Nurseries since 2007 and am incredibly fortunate to work across multiple Cherubs Nurseries during my career so far. Doing this has allowed me to really understand the expectations and the need to ensure we provide high-quality childcare every day. We take our role in the early years seriously and are always keen to go above and beyond where we can.
I am incredibly passionate about giving all children the very best start. In addition to my Area Manager role, I am the Group Safeguarding and SEND Lead. This means I work with all the nurseries to ensure we provide tailored care to those with additional needs.

"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."
