We have had a very positive experience with Cherubins over the last six years. The staff are warm, caring, and kind, and clearly enjoy looking after the children and supporting their development. You get the sense that they are personally involved in the children's well-being, and both our kids forged
strong bonds with their key workers. Children are encouraged to learn about the world around them. And the nursery showcases diversity-teaching them about different religions, cultures, countries, and traditions. The churn of staff over the last six years has also been impressively low.

Thank you so much for the positive feedback, It has been amazing to watch both children grow and form positive relationships with all. We will miss the children and family as a whole.

The team at Cherubins have been so welcoming to my daughter. She took a while to settle but they were confident and patient with her and gave me updates to reassure me. My daughter is now settled and thriving. It's a happy place and everyone at Cherubins is warm and caring towards the children. The
baby room is big and full of wonderful resources, stimulating activities and areas to climb. Food is varied and nutritious and it's food that I feel really happy my daughter gets to try. At the end of each day, we're given a written handover detailing nappy changes, sleep, meals and activities. I really appreciate having this info at the end of the day so that I know what my daughter was up to. What I love the most is how the whole team embrace seasonal events and nursery trips. They clearly put thought and effort into tailoring experiences for the babies that might otherwise be too grown up. The highlight of the year for me was the babies' Christmas singalong event. Thank you Cherubins!

Our three-year-old has been going to Cherubins since he was one, and our one-year-old is just about to start. We find the staff engaged and attentive, and there’s an amazing amount of different activities and celebrations happening all the time to keep the kids engaged. I’d have no hesitation recommending
Cherubins as a fantastic childcare option in the Lewisham area.

Very friendly nursery, my son adores going here. We love that it has a relaxed, family feel and we always feel welcomed by the staff. The outdoor space is a huge plus for us and love that there is a mini farm on sight for my son to enjoy learning about real animals! We really appreciate all the additional
events and parties for children and parents which the staff tirelessly put on means we really get to know our son's nursery carers. Communication is excellent when needed, with prompt phone calls if required during the day and regular emails to update on what's going on. Have only dropped a star for IT as there is no app updating during the day but the excellent communication and handwritten notes at the end of the day make up for it!

Generally very good. Our child enjoys their time at Cherubins and has formed a good connection with the staff. Good variety of food and activities. There are however frequently long waits at pick up time which could be managed better. Finally, something needs to be done to discourage driving to the
nursery for drop off/pick up (the car park should not be offered to parents/carers for example) as children and cars do not mix!

The key workers are wonderful, caring and interested. The manager has arranged for numerous pets and small farm animals to be kept at the nursery and they organise really interesting trips. The only negative was how one child, who kept lashing out at others, continued to behave badly without much improvement,
to the detriment of the other children in their room.

We love Cherubins Day Nursery in Ladywell. Our sons are very happy here. They love going to the nursery every day. Nursery has very caring staff that supports the development of our sons. They learn something new every day. They have amazing gardens, and even little animals such as ducks, chickens and
rabbits; kids love them. They also organize trips to parks, Legoland, the seaside and many more. We strongly recommend.

My daughter is very happy at Cherubins Day Nursery. She has been there for several months now and after an initial settling in period now happily goes in every morning and is in a fantastic mood when we pick her up. The staff are very attentive and you can tell they really care about the children. They
have plenty of activities in each room and many trips you can opt in to send your child along to as well. Our girl has a lot of fun and seems to be learning in leaps and bounds too.

My son has been with Cherubins Day Nursery since he was 9 months old (he’s 3 now). The staff are lovely and he’s had a great experience in every room he’s been in, from baby to pre-school. The nursery keeps constantly improving and the staff really care about the children and their experience. My son
truly loves going there.

My son has been with the nursery since he was 2 and has found the nursery to be excellent. Lots of extra day trips and activities, plus different cultural-themed weeks and menus. A really diverse and creative environment and the staff are lovely. Sad that he's leaving to start school in September but
he will continue to attend the after-school club in the coming months.

My 2-year-old son started at Cherubins Day Nursery in June 2021. It is such a lovely nursery, the staff are all so friendly and helpful. The staff go to so much effort in arranging fun activities, celebrations and outings for the children (so far the aquarium, safari park, pumpkin picking, Christmas
tree choosing and even shopping at a Chinese supermarket). They also arrange parties for all the family (Father's Day BBQ, Mother's Day afternoon tea, Jubilee party) and looking forward to the upcoming family day at the beach. They have such a creative chef - love the themed menus! They have fantastic facilities, lots of outdoor space and even a little farm. My son is really happy there and I would definitely recommend.

I do appreciate the staff at Cherubins Day Nursery very much but I'm not super satisfied with the equipment and cleanliness of the rooms. However, my child is very happy every time to go in. Also, I think the diet is too sugary (not happy the children are given sweets and cake/ice cream).

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.
