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.

Attended a parent evening for my little boy and got loads of information of how the staff assess the development of him. Very pleased to see the records and photos, which are precious memories when he grows up. Thank you very much.

My son attended Longdale for a period before we moved. I was impressed instantly and found that my son settled in well with the excellent staff members in the Buttercups Room (15 -24 months). The staff were always considerate of my child's mood in the morning and I felt reassured that my son was in capable hands. The outdoor area is fantastic and allows my son full access to the outdoor space. I was sorry to leave the setting. I would definitely recommend Cherubs Longdale Nursery School.
We chose Longdale for both of our daughters. The staff are very caring, there is a good outside space and lots of activities to keep them entertained. Both girls have thrived at Longdale, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

We were greeted by the manager and taken around the nursery, all of the staff were very friendly and the children all seemed very settled and happy and were all engaged in different activities. We were impressed with the outside activities and different activities in each room.
We met the baby room staff and had half an hour talking about our baby and what a average day at nursery would be like. On our next visit, we went to the baby room and our baby girl spent time with the staff whilst we went for a coffee. I was anxious as any parent would be but when we arrived back our baby was so happy and settled, she had drank her milk and had a sleep too. I feel very confident that she will be very settled here. We have already recommended the nursery to our friends and we're very happy we followed our hearts and have definitely chosen the right nursery for us.

As a baby, Longdale helped my son develop in leaps and bounds. With many learning activities and well experienced staff every day I collected a very happy child and always had lots to tell me as soon as we were in the car... non stop talking all the way home about the fun things he had done that day.
Now he is at the holiday club and loves it just as much! Especially all the trips and fun games.
Cherubs (Longdale) are a high standard childcare with excellent security and experienced friendly staff. The offer a wide range of activities for any kind of child.
I would highly recommend you take your child here as you will feel your child is very safe and well looked after, giving you a parent the confidence to go to work and enjoy your day with a little rest along the way.

My two boys have been going here for 10 months and both have absolutely loved every minute. The facilities are fantastic but the staff are outstanding. My son was rushed to the hospital today and every single member of staff did everything they possibly could to help at a very frightening time for me. What an incredible team!!
The nursery and staff have all been outstanding, very helpful and supportive. Excellent feedback each day. Lovely food, my daughter has settled very quickly and enjoys the days she attends.

Everyone at Longdale is so friendly and so interactive with the children. My 2 year old is excited every time he goes to nursery and always comes home with a smile on his face. If you want your child to have a great start in life then Longdale is the place to go! It's the little extras too- like the trips out and making cards for father's day and the animals in the fields next door that make a difference. There's so much for the children to get involved in and the flexible pay structure suits us ideally and is not overly expensive.

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."
