Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my children have attended Little Cherries and the staff have been nothing but caring and supportive. They both always went in with a smile on their face, looking forward to the fun activities the staff had set up for that day. My youngest is now leaving little cherries to start reception in
September and, thanks to the amazing team, he is completely ready for it!

My daughter loves it at Little Cherries, she has grown in confidence and is always happy to go in.
My daughter loves every activity that they do and enjoys telling us at home what she has learnt and aiming the songs that she has learnt.
The staff are lovely and friendly.
Would highly recommend.

We moved our child to Little Cherries in September 2023 due to them being uncomfortable at their previous nursery. They settled in amazingly! The staff had so much to time to reassure our child and we took time to get to know them also. We couldn’t be happier with the progress our child has made, they
feel safe, happy and content and have flourished since being at Little Cherries. The staff at Little Cherries have helped to build our child’s confidence, independence and they are very very happy.

My child has been at Little Cherries for a year now. He loves coming and has felt nothing more than welcomed. He has come on leaps and bounds thanks to the pre-school! The school have helped him become independent with potty training.

An absolutely lovely preschool, my child is thriving and developing in leaps and bounds. The range of activities is fantastic and my child comes home so happy each day. Staff are so helpful and friendly and go above and beyond daily.
I really recommend this preschool.

Review from S G (Mother of Child) published on 4 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I’m very impressed by this setting, my little girl started in September 2022. She loves it, she goes in happy and comes out happier, tells me all the way home what she did, what she learnt etc. I think it’s excellent, the last setting she went in crying every day so this is a huge improvement for us,
I just wish the preschool was created/opened sooner as she’ll be off to school in the coming September and I know she’ll miss the preschool and the teachers especially! The teachers are brilliant they really do get to know all the children. I also love how I’m kept up-to-date throughout the day, with photos being put on the nursery app so I can see what she’s been up to! 100% would recommend it!

My daughter has been attending Little Cherries since September and she is loving it. Her key worker is very observant and you can tell the staff take their time getting to know and interacting with children. They have such a variety of activities prepared for the little ones and best of all - they get
to play outdoors in the garden every day regardless the weather. My daughter has made many friends who will be continuing with her in later years in the primary school.

I'm so impressed by Little Cherries Pre-School! The staff really get to know the children and my daughter loves her time there. Her independent skills have come on so much. Staff have created a lovely, positive and encouraging environment. It's great to see regular photos on SeeSaw of her enjoying the
activities. My daughter is already well prepared for starting school in September thanks to Little Cherries! I'd recommend it 100%.

Amazing, amazing, amazing.
My son started when Little Cherries Pre-School first opened and I feel he has grown with the Pre-school. The staff are the best, nothing is too much trouble. As I can’t have him at home every day as I have to work. I wouldn’t want anyone else looking after him. He has been
to a few before Little Cherries Pre-School opened but never really settled. He’s disappointed when it’s home time. Can’t rate the pre-school highly enough

My little girl has been going to Little Cherries for around a year now and I cannot speak highly enough of the setting. The staff are all so caring, my daughter is always telling me stories of the staff and you can clearly see they have great relationships with the children, along with her having made
some lovely friendships with other children, which is so reassuring as a parent. The facilities and activities are amazing, always keeping the children engaged whilst learning and setting them up for school. My daughter has grown in confidence, her number and letter work is fantastic and that’s all down to the hard work of her key worker and other staff. The Manager is so lovely and approachable, I have always felt that we are in good hands. My daughter will be really sad to move up to big school in September, she’s always so full of her days at Little Cherries and I know she will miss it, whilst having had good preparation for school. Thank you to all at Little Cherries, you’re amazing!

What a fantastic pre-school! Considering it's only been running since January, you'd think the staff have been there forever... so welcoming, accommodating and nurturing of the children. I have been so impressed with how much my child has progressed in just the space of 2-months. The range of activities
that they provide is engaging, and I love seeing my child in action on their online account. My child always comes out of school happy and beaming about what a fantastic day she's had. Keep up the good work; it really is paying off, amazing!

My son started here in January. He’s anxious when leaving me, but the staff are lovely and friendly, I know they take good care of him and support him. Once there, my son loves it, he has learnt so much already, and they always have great activities out that he enjoys. I’m really happy with Little Cherries.

My youngest started Little Cherries Pre-School as soon as it opened and I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve made! They are so happy, confident, now fully toilet trained and saying lots of new and clear words every day!
The staff are amazing ensuring a healthy balance of nurturing with learning.
The updates daily are fantastic and it really gives you an insight into your child’s day.
Thank you so much to all the lovely staff!

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.850) out of 10 for Little Cherries Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 5 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 4.933 for Little Cherries Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.933
  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 3.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Cherries Pre-School is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 60 number of registered child places is 12. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.417
  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.
