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.

It's moments like this morning that need a special mention and recognition. Thank you to the manager and my sons key wroker at Ilkeston Cherubs. My little boy was unusually upset going into nursery today and as I was about to leave the nursery manager acknowledged and asked 'is that my son I can hear upset' and said I will go and check he's OK. And did so straight away. His key worker got his favourite toy out (a ball) and was soon to turn it around. I was quickly updated with pictures on the app to reassure me that he was OK playing with his sensory ball with his key worker. This isn't a little thing the acknowledgement, care and reassurance changed a sad little boy happy and a worried mum settled knowing that her boy is in the caring and safest of hands so thank you so much.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We will pass this on to the team at Cherubs Ilkeston.
My daughter loves Cherubs Ilkeston, the staff are really friendly and attentive to your child's needs. The food is healthy and there is lots of variety. I have noticed a huge shift in my child's confidence and language since she started. She loves to come each week. I would recommend to any parent.

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...
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.

"Hello, I'm Laura - Area Manager for Cherubs Ilkeston. I have been part of Cherubs Nurseries since 2007 and am incredibly fortunate to work across multiple Cherubs Nurseries during my career so far. Doing this has allowed me to really understand the expectations and the need to ensure we provide high-quality childcare every day. We take our role in the early years seriously and are always keen to go above and beyond where we can.
I am incredibly passionate about giving all children the very best start. In addition to my Area Manager role, I am the Group Safeguarding and SEND Lead. This means I work with all the nurseries to ensure we provide tailored care to those with additional needs."
