Cherry Trees Day Nursery (Cranfield)

My son has attended for nearly a year and I’ve been so amazed by the compassion and professionalism of all the staff. The nursery is modern, well equipped, with a fabulous garden and the activities they put on for the children are varied and well thought through. The staff pay particular attention to the individual needs and interests of the children and they have been amazing with my very high spirited son. My son took a few months to warm up to going to nursery, not helped by reduced socialisation through lockdown, but his key workers have been so caring and attentive. He shows such strong emotion towards his key worker and all the staff – it’s so lovely to see such a bond and know he’s going to be happy while I’m at work. There are a number of rooms, more than other nurseries around, which means the groups are really age-appropriate. The nursery has also been very flexible as I’ve required changes to my son’s pattern and extra days here and there, they’ve always been able to accommodate.

As our son’s time at Cherry Trees Day Nursery is coming to an end, thought it would only be right to leave a review. He has been there for four years starting when he was only 8 months old and we really cannot fault anything. Throughout his time there he has been so happy, the staff have given him such great care and he leaves there a confident and bright little boy. Cherry Trees have provided him with fun and interesting activities that have helped him develop and given him a good grounding to starting school. His introduction to ICT along with the STEM activities has been fantastic. The last sixteen months have been a particular challenge but again managed so well by all the staff in their flexible and innovative approach to ensuring our children stay safe and well. We will all miss Cherry Trees dearly and very grateful for the time our son has spent there.

We could not be happier with the Cherry Trees Day Nursery experience. Our son loves attending as our daughter did before him. The standard of care is second to none and all the staff are nothing short of excellent, as are the facilities. Very happy to recommend to anyone.

Cherry Trees staff have all been extremely helpful with our son’s transition when we moved here from the United States. Our son comes home every day with a smile on his face and using new words he has learned at nursery. Thank you for all the support, and we are excited for our younger son to join the Cherry Trees Day Nursery next year!

We absolutely love this nursery and everything about it, from amazing meals to outstanding staff. Our boy loves it just as much! He’s developing so well and we would never be able to provide him as much entertainment and learning tools as he gets at Cherry Trees Day Nursery. We trust this nursery completely and wouldn’t want our child to go anywhere else. Thank you to everyone at Cherry Trees.

Our children have both thoroughly enjoyed and have made excellent progress at Cherry Trees Day Nursery in Cranfield. The range of activities they provide engages my son and has led him to be an extremely curious and perseverant learner. His interests are taken into account by the staff and he always has many exciting things to tell us. The staff are really nurturing and understand my child, always ready to challenge him and excite him. I am so grateful for what the staff have done for my family, we will miss them when he leaves.

My daughter has been with this incredible nursery since she was 9 months old.
I am so sad to be leaving now she is almost 4 and starting school.
I cannot recommend all the staff enough, from office right through to key workers, on such a great and supportive network for my daughter.
My daughter attended before and after the pandemic of Covid and lockdowns, I was a key worker.
The world struggled including myself with the whole situation, my daughter didn’t understand what was going on but the nursery continued and made it as normal an experience for the children as possible. I really couldn’t have managed without their support and just think they are incredible superhumans to risk their health and pushing their doubts to one side.
My daughter only ever came out of nursery with joy and the stories she would tell me about all her adventures with her friends, just so content and happy.
You always have Mum guilt but the regular updates of pictures of them thriving made it soon disperse.

From the very first visit to see what Cherry Trees Day Nursery was like we knew we had found the right nursery for our daughter. The staff were welcoming and the environment for the children was fantastic. Roll on almost four years and we are still very happy we made the right choice, our daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time here and is ready to begin new adventures at school. The staff are a real credit and have always looked after and developed our now not-so-little girl! She has learned so much and really come out of her shell doing all the fun activities the staff come up with. I feel she is fully prepared to take on school! Thank you Cherry Trees.

My little boy started in September 2022, he had a bit of an unsure start as he had a bit of a bad experience elsewhere, but he absolutely loves it here he has formed a great bond with his key worker as well as all the staff in his room. All the staff from management down are absolutely brilliant can’t recommend this nursery enough my son’s confidence has grown so much it’s amazing to see.

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her eight months at Cherry Trees Day Nursery and especially the bond she developed with her first key worker.
Every single member of staff that I, myself, have interacted with has been very supportive and helpful with ensuring the best for my daughter.
The service they provide has been second to none and I would highly recommend them to any parent I know.
