Situated in a former Malt House, Cherubs Ilkeston is spread over 4 age-appropriate air-conditioned rooms. Externally, the nursery has 3 different outdoor spaces (including rooftop terrace, Baby Garden and Toddler Garden) for children to enjoy (curated by Timotay Playscapes).

When it comes to children unleashing their creative potential, the nursery has its own Atelier - where children can bake, make and create. Not to mention their very own photo wall, where parents are encouraged to capture all those special memories that make up a child’s early years.

If you’re looking for a modern and conveniently located nursery, overflowing with outstanding facilities, Cherubs Ilkeston is the nursery for you.

The staff are very professional and attentive, they also connect well with the children and their parents. They always make sure to give regular update on progress and development which is very handy for me. My son absolutely loves it at Cherubs Ilkeston.

Review from M F (Mother of Child) published on 17 February 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I truly love this nursery because my daughter has developed so many valuable skills such as feeding herself, acting out words from songs and playing independently. We've never experienced issues like constant upset stomach from contaminated food, and she always looks clean and neat when I pick her up
at the end of the day. The food menu is outstanding and so appealing. The environment is beautifully designed, child-friendly and thoughtfully maintained, especially the stunning garden. The staff are incredibly friendly and patient, always taking the time to provide detailed feedback about her day. The manager and deputy manager are absolutely wonderful. They always take time to check in with me to ensure everything is okay. I couldn't be happier with this nursery! The entire team at Cherubs Ilkeston is incredibly professional and I truly appreciate each and every one of them.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.900)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.900) out of 10 for Cherubs Ilkeston 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 25 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 4.900 for Cherubs Ilkeston is calculated as follows: ( (272 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 300 Ratings = 4.9
  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 Cherubs Ilkeston 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 72 number of registered child places is 14.4, 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.
