My daughter has been attending Cherrys trees since April2025 and I cannot praise them enough.
My daughter has autism and is currently non-verbal but, I can honestly say, Cherry Trees have been amazing with their support and guidance.
Miss Jennie has been a a great help with everything EHCP.
Camelia has been so patient and kind towards my daughter, I couldn't have ask for a better place for my daughter to go to nursery. They have been so accommodating towards my daughter's needs, ensuring she has anything to make her time there comfortable.

When we first toured Cherry Trees and met Miss Jennie, she immediately made us feel at ease. It is obvious that she is an experienced manager as she spoke to us in detail about what life is like at Cherry Trees. She also has a good understanding of the Montessorri approach. Our daughter started in
March and it is thanks to all of the staff at Cherry Trees that she is thriving. All of the staff are warm and welcoming and our daughter runs in with a smile everyday. The staff communicate well with updates throughout the day via the parent portal app and are always more than happy to answer any questions at drop off or pick up.
The setting is also beautiful with its calm atmosphere with a range of engaging resources for the children to access as they wish. We could not recommend Cherry Trees enough. Thank you.

My son attends Cherry Trees @ Risby twice a week and has a thoroughly good time.
The staff are all welcoming, engaging & friendly and the setting is perfect for my child's growth.
Highly recommended

We joined Cherry Trees under its previous owners in September 2024 but the manager and most of the staff remained when Colourbox bought it and we had been happy at Red lodge colourbox (we moved location to be nearer the school for our older children).
This place is delightful, each key person my
child has been allocated as he moved into the different age groups has given him support and love, as well as the other staff in the room of course.
The manager, Miss Jennie, has been a legend helping me manage his emerging SEN and supporting the various applications I have had to make regarding his future education.
The new owning company have put so much into improving the facilities and expanding to take younger children now that people can get funding from 9months rather than 2 years.
The setting is both calm and beautiful and I would recommend it in a heartbeat!
Thank you

We have had such a lovely experience of Cherry Trees.
The staff are fantastic and so caring and supportive of our little boy (and us as parents!)
We couldn't ask for a better setting and experience, he attends 4 days and always comes home happy and contented having enjoyed a day of fun exploring
new things and experiences. He's thriving.
I feel very reassured and happy leaving my little one in the care of all the staff and know he'll have a fab time.

Our kids have had a wonderful experience at Cherry Trees. The team are gentle and kind and support the children to develop their confidence and independence. They understand the kids needs well and follow their interests.
The new building is great and full of fantastic resources.
The management
team are responsive and helpful.

You couldn't pick a more outstanding facility to trust looking after your child/children.
All the staff are so dedicated and supportive to your child's needs, while always having a smile and complete rundown of the day when you do pick up.
Our son is getting to experience a great education, a
delicious rotating fresh menu while getting exposed to many different flavours and types of food, all while getting the best staff possible to care for him.

We have had a very good experience at Colourbox Cherry Trees, the staff are all very friendly and helpful and my son has settled extremely well into his first nursery setting through their confidence and care. The nursery is surrounded by a wonderful nature setting with the most enormous ancient
oak tree in their playground and with views over fields and trees. We can really see our sons development progressing at this Montessori and feel the constructive activities they engage in are a super and empowering way to learn.

Wonderful setting and kind & helpful staff! My daughter loves it there and has learned so much since being there. They have really helped her come out of her shell and grow academically. The staff are really lovely and the communication from them is outstanding.
15 October 2025
My son attends part time and absolutely loves it here. He often asks if he can attend more days as he prefers it to his other setting.
The staff seem genuinely caring and update us in detail on how our son has been and the activities he has completed.
15 October 2025
From the moment we looked around the nursery, we knew it would be a positive and safe place for our Daughter. Despite emotional drop offs, which are handled with such care and empathy from the staff, our little comes out each time full of joy and smiles. It's very clear to see that she has had a
wonderful time and is learning so much too. The facilities are great, lots of fun and educational activities and a lovely outside space. We are very grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery for her.

My child has been here since he was 9 months old (although they can now only start at 3 years) and he just loves coming to nursery. The staff really care and are interested in all that goes on in the children's life in and out of nursery. We love the strong Montessori ethos and are pleased with the
development in skills and learning. The facilities and outdoor space allow for a wide range of activities to be done.

My son has attended Brookes Cambridge for the past 2 years and I can not rate the setting highly enough.
The staff are welcoming, warm, caring and professional.
The Montessori approach has helped my son immensely with developing his independence and self-confidence.
The setting is fantastic
with access to large fields and a forest school area.
My son particularly enjoys the music session with the music teacher.
I have been continually impressed with all the extras this setting provides- special Mother's Day tea, trips into town to the library, forest school and lovely Christmas parties to name a few.
21 March 2017
When I asked my two year old Son if he liked his house or would prefer to live somewhere different, he said "I would like to live in my house at Brookes (Cambridge)" I don't think here could be any better commendation.

My grandaughter, who was already a bright and confident child, has blossomed during her first year. Her language skills have really advanced to the point at which other adults comment on her vocabulary. She loves attending and asks why she can't go in the school holidays. The staff in both rooms
know each child really well and are always ready to listen to and pass on information. They are sensitive to a child's individual circumstances and needs.
It is unfortunate that the nursery ceased to accept Early Years funding, but the decision to allow my grandaughter to continue here anyway was not difficult given the her progress and the obvious benefits to her.

I couldn't ask for a better environment or set of practitioners to care for him. He has grown into such a confident, independent and bright little boy. He takes part in a varied range of activities and appears to thrive in the Montessori class environment. He amazes us with the sheer amount of
knowledge and facts he comes home with. They run Forest school sessions which my son adores, his love of the great outdoors has just been intensified by this fantastic opportunity. Their online learning journey is fantastic and gives such a valuable insight into his fun-filled days. I love the fact that I can contribute to this from home also. If you want a nurturing enabling nursery environment for your child to attend where they can feel safe, valued and respected as individuals then Brookes is for you. Your child will grow in independence and be given endless opportunities to follow their curiosities and be taught key skills for life.

Brookes Cambridge Nursery is a really lovely, safe, creative, calm, and nurturing environment for my child to grow and develop in. He has been attending this nursery for 2 full days a week since he was 1 and is just about to turn 3. My son has benefited from the small class sizes and the Montessori
way of learning. He loves all the outside space at the nursery and really enjoys forest school, yoga and French.
The staff are really friendly and attentive to both the children’s and parents needs. It is clear to see the nursery manager genuinely cares about the children (who adore her) and is committed to her job. She is is a total asset to the nursery. My son has dairy and multiple food allergies and the nursery and catering staff go out of their way to accommodate his needs and to ensure he feels included in special events.
23 January 2017
The nursery staff are wonderful. My child loves going to school because he enjoys the variety of learning resources and feels genuinely cared for by the staff members. His unique strengths are used to facilitate learning and exploring.
23 January 2017
Both of my boys have attended the Brookes Cambridge Nursery over the last 5 years. The staff at the nursery are outstanding and they work so well together as a team. I always feel rest assured that my children are cared for to a standard I would expect at home. They provide amazing conditions with
a huge range of activities including a forest school which is much loved by all the children.
I have no worries in saying that my child is fed nutritious food and never comes home hungry. The Montessori environment means that my child can express himself and learn in a way far beyond the classroom. The facilities are well laid out and there is an abundance of equipment and areas for the children to play with. I would have no hesitation in recommending this Nursery to any future parent.
