Review from J S (Mother of Child) published on 7 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
It's okay and they work really hard to put on parties and events at seasonal times. We appreciate that. The kids get so excited at Mother's Day, Easter etc! Communication is not as good as other nurseries and things aren't followed through on. We also felt quite strongly that staff did not treat children
equally, there were obvious favourites. And some staff are absolutely fantastic and everything you want from a Nursery: warm, caring and like a second parent. Others don't have great communication skills, can come across sullen and some are very strict too. The new receptionist also leaves a poor first impression. It's totally acceptable and its location make it great for the commute. So if you don't mind an energetic place with lots of fun events and trips with some inconsistency in approach and turnover of staff then it's a very practical place where a child will likely be happy. I only hope they would improve the outdoor areas and the litter, and hire caring staff who stay

Great place, lovely staff and lots of outdoor activities.
My little one joined nursery when she was only 9months and she has had a great journey so far.
Top notch teachers worth mentioning for their dedication: five in particular.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This was, honestly, not my 1st choice. When my first choice fell through, I came to Cherubins Day Nursery for a visit and fell in love with it that same day. I couldn't wait to sign the contract. My son started at the end of 2023, and we have not had any regrets. The staff are all absolutely incredible,
you can tell that they really care about the little ones. I love all the trips and activities that they do. There is never a dull moment. I look forward to the updates on the app, I am able to keep up to date with my sons development, and it has simplified communication with the staff. I would recommend them to everyone.
Thank you all and keep up the fantastic job you're doing!

Child very happy at nursery and talks very positively about it.
Communication feels a little disorganised/sporadic.
Generally very pleased with the team. They clearly work very hard and put on lots of events for the kids.

We're really happy with Cherubins, the staff are all very friendly and really care about the children, and we've seen our son progress so much since he's been there. One thing that really makes them stand out is the number and variety of trips they do - he's been to the science museum, pantomime, beach
and diggerland to name just a few - which is something other nurseries don't seem to do.

My son has cultivated some amazing friendships not just peers but his teachers. He always enjoys attending especially on days when they have "show and tell". A diverse range of activities and a range of trips/experiences.
My son has learned so much during his time at Cherubins and I would recommend
it to other families. Thank you.

My daughter had an amazing time at Cherubins. She joined halfway through the year (as we moved house) and the staff did an amazing job at helping her settle in with confidence. She made friends, and played a lot outside (she loved it with there were animals in the nursery. But I think most of them have
been removed unfortunately). Overall a very positive experience, a great teacher, and very good food. She enjoyed going every time! Perhaps the place could be more clean is my only criticism.

Our son has attended this nursery for 2 years now and has enjoyed it, he has learned a lot and come a long way since he started. His key worker has been superb and has made our lives a lot easier.
We have had no issues and we are sad to see our boy leave!
We would highly recommend this nursery and
would again like to say a big thank you.

Great trips. Very attentive to my son's needs, helped him with his speech by doing activities with him set by the speech therapist, and phonics. A particular member of staff has been amazing with my son as he took a shine to her. As well as another member of staff who supported him in his speech. My
son has enjoyed Cherubins and I think he will miss it. Thank you for everything you've done for my son!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.640)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.640) out of 10 for Cherubins Day Nursery - Ladywell Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.640 for Cherubins Day Nursery - Ladywell Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 308 Ratings = 4.64
  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 Cherubins Day Nursery - Ladywell Lodge is based on 25 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 124 number of registered child places is 24.8, which has been reached with 25 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.
