Review from Richard B (Father of Child) published on 22 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We find Cherubins a very good nursery. First child started there almost 3 years ago and younger sibling just recently. Although the staff come and go, management is the same and some staff even return (which is a positive sign). They are all very caring and knowledgeable. We feel safe to leave our children
in their care and know they are learning and protected. The management has also always been accommodating of our needs. The premises are impressive, the garden area is of good quality, the food is nutritious. We feel part of the nursery as we are involved in every part of the way, from menu designing to days out. Monthly newsletters communications make us feel included and on top of subjects and themes being discussed. From discussing with other groups of parents, we feel lucky to have found such a positive setting.

My daughter has been enrolled at Cherubins Day Nursery for the past two years. The support our family has received is comparable to none. The nursery is extremely accommodating with my schedule and always happy to book my daughter in at the last minute. What we love the most about Cherubins are the
friendships we have made with other parents and the wonderful children who attend.

All nursery staff, without exception, gave us a great welcome.
Our key worker has been very patient and friendly with our little one to make him feel safe and happy. Our son has a variety of toys to play with, activities to engage with and other children to observe and play with. The staff are caring
and informative and our son really enjoys his time at the nursery.

Really happy with the Nursery and the level of care provided. Very convenient location and staff are helpful and caring. Parents and children made to feel very welcome and we feel that our child not only enjoys attending but gets a lot out of the care and instruction provided.

Review from Jane S (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending Cherubins since she was 5 months old. The experience we have had over the past 9 months has been absolutely fantastic. The key to our positive experience is due primarily to the wonderful staff who we have found to be caring, friendly and informative. There are three regular
staff members that look after the babies/infants in my daughters' age group and it's really reassuring having that continuity, especially at the age where the routine can change quite often!


The nursery has a real 'happy' feel to it and we feel it has allowed our daughter to develop in a loving environment. The rooms are colourful and spacious with plenty of activities (sand, toys, books, slide and climbing frame). There is good outside space. You also receive daily emails detailing your child's activities (eg painting, messy play, singing), food, naps and nappies (!)


N.B. My child is still in the youngest age group so I can't comment on the older groups.

Staff are very encouraging towards the children's learning. My son started at Cherubins and has now gone on to main school. By the time he left Cherubins Nursery, he was able to write his name, count to 20 and know his ABC. I now have a 2 year old at Cherubins. The standards have not dropped at all.
They teach the kids 100%. I'm so happy.

Review from Cherylin R (Mother of Child) published on 30 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery has been where my son has grown up and developed as a young boy from 10 months old. I have always considered the way the staff take care of him and how they ensure his safety at all times. I would recommend this nursery as it is great with space. A large garden for playing and learning and
great at reviewing a child's development and seeing where they have achieved their milestones. As a parent, it helps to reassure me that my son has had the best start before school.

I am really happy with my experience at Cherubins Day Nursery, the staff are very friendly. My son is very well looked after, it is a very welcoming place. I've recommended the nursery to friends and family who have since joined and are also recommending it.

Staff are very good and help when I have any problems. Shed for putting your buggy in needs to be bigger and also some form of work that kids can do at home from the nursery would be very good.

My child learns many new words and loves it at the nursery. Really like all the activities planned: visiting police, fire brigade, beach day :)

My son attends the after school club and really enjoys going. He comes home talking about what he has done and made and looks forward to returning. He also talks highly about the members of staff and I find them easy to talk to with any issues.

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.
