Review from Kate H (Mother of Child) published on 29 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has attended Cherubs Mapperley for the last 18 months, he absolutely loves the setting and all the staff! He has been lucky enough to get so know different members of the staff team through different rooms, who have all been so lovely, kind and caring.
There are lots of experiences that the children has access too, my son really enjoys the sports sessions and baking that happen regularly!
The communication is very good and there are regular opportunities to have stay and play within the nursery setting which gives the children the option to show parents/carers the setting!

Thankyou so much to all the staff at Cherubs Mapperley for all your hard work and caring nature!

Review from Martha H (Mother of Child) published on 23 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn't be happier with this nursery. My son has been attending for the past three months and from the very beginning the team have been absolutely fantastic.

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.

Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with this nursery. Our two-year-old daughter loves going, which says everything about the warm and caring environment the staff have created. She is always excited to go in and always comes home happy and clearly well cared for.
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.

Overall Experience

We have had a lovely time taking our daughter to Cherubs. She loves her time there, her transittons between age groups have been managed really well and she always comes home with a funny little story about her day. The activities are really good for her and she has been able to explore her enjoyment of arts and craft,cooking and outdoor play with the other children. Loves the food as well and seems to eat a much broader range of meals when at Nursery as compaed to at home. (a bit annoying). No complaints at all. Keep it up!

Review from Kerry G (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with Cherubs, Mapperley. Our son absolutely loves going and has come on so much since starting, especially with his speech and confidence. He loves reading books, playing with cars, painting and spending time outside, and it's lovely to see how his interests are encouraged.
The staff are always friendly and chatty, speak so positively about him, and are genuinely interested in what we've been up to at home and how they can help support him. We're always kept well informed about what's happening.

Most importantly, he's completely settled and genuinely happy there. We're so grateful for the care and encouragement the team give him every day.

Overall Experience
Staff have been super supportive since my daughter started over 2 years ago and now are brilliant with my son who started in January.
They have supported with nap transitions, nursery settling in, getting rid of a dummy, potty training.
The staff know the kids really well which is exactly what you want when leaving your children somewhere for the day!

My daughter particularly loved snowdrops, she was so sad to be leaving the girls to move to preschool, particularly Lily and Lataya were brilliant!

We have been really happy with the care given to our daughter at Cherubs. One of cherubs greatest assets is the staff, they are friendly, passionate and build amazing bonds with the children. Communication both during the day and at pick up is always good and the app is a huge benefit updating throughout the day including pictures of what our daughters been up to. The rooms and outside space are good and we feel the nursery are always offering a good variety of activities.

Overall Experience

Our son joined the nursery at almost 2 years old. He currently goes 2 days a week. The team spent time helping him settle into a new routine and helping him feel comfortable.

The nursery value different types of play, inside and outside. They spend time talking and encouraging to learn and thrive, whilst he has have fun. They take time to update parents. The food is healthy and changes to encourage new food.

As a very anxious mum I was nervous for my son to start nursery but Cherubs eased that and have been fantastic!!! our son is absolutely blossoming. The staff are lovely and always say hello, ask how you've been as well as your child, gives updates about days, etc. the communication is fantastic I couldn't ask for more. Meal times / menus are varied and brilliant. The staff have lovely professional uniforms, the building and rooms are clean and tidy for a nursery. Overall I genuinely wouldn't have my child anywhere else, super happy !!!!!

The staff at Cherubs Mapperley are all really lovely and really care about the kids! Since joining Cherubs from 11 months old right up until pre school, my son has learned so much and flourished there. My little girl has recently started and the staff in the daisies room are making sure she feels safe and comfortable, whilst updating me with her progress.

Review from Emma I (Mother of Child) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Tom W (Father of Child) published on 11 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child has attended Cherubs for around 2-3 years now. We have been really happy with the care she has received, particularly in the baby room and in Snowdrops.
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."
