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.

I was incredibly anxious about sending my son to nursery but the staff made the whole transition so much easier than I expected. They are kind, patient and genuinely care about my son. One thing that stands out the most is the communication. The team are great at keeping me informed and will always call if they have any concerns, which gives me huge peace of mind. They also really listen to me as a parent and value my thoughts which I really appreciate.
Every time I drop my son off I feel reassured knowing he is in a safe and supportive environment. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

The team are kind, patient, and attentive, and it's obvious they genuinely care about the children. They take the time to understand each child's personality and interests, which has really helped our daughter grow in confidence and independence. We especially appreciate the regular updates and photos that let us see what she's been learning and enjoying throughout the day.
The activities are creative and engaging, and it's lovely to see how much she's developing socially and academically while still having plenty of fun. The nursery always feels clean, safe, and welcoming.
I always recommend Cherubs Mapperley to any other parents who asks. And always praise the nursery when asked what I think of it.

Cherubs nursery is absolutely exceptional. I am so grateful for how well they take care of our daughter, she is besotted with her key workers and on days when she isn't in nursery, talks about them constantly. I receive regular updates throughout the day and I never go a day without photos of my daughter which is the highlight of my day when at work. Every day they set up special, themed interactive areas or activities. They are incredibly thoughful and take time to give an overview of my daughter's day every evening on pick up. It feels like they really care and it is a close knut group of people who are all really positive, sweet and kind. I sent our son to a different nursery nearby and was so pleased I changed to cherubs as the difference is huge. Cherubs feels very personal and like a big family, you don't feel like a number. My daughter also suffers from a dairy allergy and they managed this really well, offering excellent alternatives every day.

The nursery is well run, safe and has good options in terms of nutrition.
Special mentions to two members of staff in particular for their help in the early years of my child being at nursery. They made us feel like we were leaving our child in a safe and caring place.
Also to the manager, whose management of the nursery has displayed some great improvements and changes. She has always been very responsive and flexible. She is a great leader and it was noticeable how she has impacted the nursery.
Lastly, to another member of staff in particular, we have seen some amazing changes in our child's confidence since her input. We can't speak highly enough of her.
We will be forever grateful to Cherubs for their help and support over the years.

"Hello, I'm Kayley - Area Manager for Cherubs Mapperley. A career in childcare is something I have always wanted to pursue. In 2014, I took the plunge and started my journey with Cherubs Nurseries - I’ve never looked back! I started as a student and worked my way up to Assistant Manager at Cherubs Executive House before being promoted to Nursery Manager at Cherubs Ruddington in 2021. I have had the pleasure of both supporting and being based at other nurseries within Cherubs Nurseries, which has given me invaluable experience. I also support our Apprentices through their Training Academy journey, which gives me great pride in seeing them succeed and flourish into wonderful, knowledgeable Early Years Educators.
I currently hold a Level 3 in Childcare, Level 2 in Mental Health and Well-being, as well as various other qualifications, including SEND, Language Lead, Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding, Moving and Handling Special Needs, and I have been trained in Buccolam and Oxygen Administration. Within the setting, I am passionate about creating a home-from-home experience for the children that we care for by creating a fun, engaging and welcoming atmosphere - encouraging the children to develop to their full potential."
