March 30, 2016 at 12:00 amVery friendly, great atmosphere for the children. Plenty of activities indoors and outdoors. She always comes home happy! She is so happy that she doesn’t want to come home after her sessions, which shows she is very settled.

February 9, 2017 at 12:00 amI am so proud of what my daughter has achieved here and I can’t fault the staff they have been absolutely outstanding in every area of my daughter’s care and education. She loves coming here. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a placement for their child. Excellent doesn’t even cover how I feel. My daughter always comes home excited to tell me about what she has done in the day and it’s great seeing what she has learnt.

May 16, 2017 at 12:00 amI am more than happy with my child’s development in all areas since joining CherryIsland Nursery. He has come a long way in his learning and seems more bubbly each day. He enjoys telling me all the new things he has learnt and all the staff have a lovely relationship with my son.

October 31, 2018 at 12:00 amA lovely, child-centred nursery which nurtures and supports children in a fun, structured and values-driven way. We have had two children there and both have flourished. The staff are lovely, genuine, professional, kind and fun. We are very happy with this nursery.

October 31, 2018 at 12:00 amCherry Island is a safe and enriching environment with positive, bubbly and nurturing staff. Since joining the nursery she has developed a huge amount of confidence and assertion. She freely expresses herself and reflects the kindness, compassion, and curiosity that are at the heart of the nursery’s values. The nursery works very hard to integrate the children into the on-site junior school by offering several transitional visits prior to school starting. They also make curriculum-focused work fun and engaging. My daughter often came home singing the phonics songs before she had even started learning them in her year group.
A highlight of the nursery is the beautiful sensory-focused nap room, although when children are older, there is also a lovely cosy corner where they can snuggle up if feeling tired. I have only good things to say about this nursery and my daughter and I will be sad to leave when school starts!

February 8, 2019 at 12:00 amI highly recommend Cherry Island Nursery. Both my children have attended from a young age, sometimes on a full-time basis. The care and attention shown to the children is outstanding. The acknowledgements of individual needs are also to be commended. Likewise, the food offered is not only healthy and nutritious but the children love it!

April 22, 2019 at 12:00 amMy little boy has settled into the baby room really well, he now walks in and doesn’t look back. He is always greeted with a friendly smile and a warm cuddle to welcome him into the nursery. He enjoys the variety of activities on offer such as cooking, crafts, sensory play and the outside space. We really enjoy reading the daily feedback about what he has been up to. Thank you to the staff for helping him to enjoy nursery life!

January 27, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter started here at 12 months old in the baby room. She was not happy at first but with the persistence and caring nature of the staff who work here she now loves her nursery days and happily walks in and waves goodbye.
Thanks so much to all the staff especially 2 in particular who have made the experience as smooth as possible for us.

January 27, 2020 at 12:00 amI feel quite happy leaving my granddaughter here, even when she has those clingy days. The staff are gentle and kind with her arms make sure she’s feeling better.
Also, there is a good range of activities she enjoys to keep her occupied. Thank you Cherry Island.

February 3, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son had always been happy and well catered for at Cherry Island Nursery. The staff are all attentive and caring and give him that little extra support he needs some mornings when he doesn’t want to leave me. He comes home each day telling me about all the fun activities he’s done alongside his learning. The app used by the nursery is always kept up to date and gives me a great insight into his day so I know he’s safe and well. Before this nursery, he was at another and both have given me the confidence and reassurance to be able to work and leave him knowing he’s being well looked after. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

February 27, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son really enjoys the nursery, all the staff are really friendly and great with him. I feel the 0-2 room is quite small for our 18-month baby. He loves it when he’s in the main room. The variety of activities and play are good. He has caught headlice twice from the nursery, I feel the letter was issued a little late and we would have like to have been told before we took him in that a few children had them. I strongly disagree with the nursery charging parents fees when the nursery is closed (25th/26th/1st). Expensive enough without throwing money down the drain. This wasn’t explained before he started.

December 9, 2020 at 12:00 amI couldn’t be happier with CherryIsland Nursery. The staff are very kind and caring and my daughter talks happily about her time there. She has an excellent variety of learning opportunities and has grown in confidence! I always feel comfortable and at ease leaving her in the safe hands of the super staff. I would definitely recommend.

December 9, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son loves going to nursery, he speaks highly of all the staff, and he’s always had a good time every day he’s been to nursery. The staff are kind, thoughtful and genuinely care about the children, engaging with them and teaching them skills, while making it fun. They spend a lot of time reading to my son which he absolutely loves. It is a great environment.

March 16, 2023 at 12:00 amMy child and myself have been made to feel extremely welcome. The progress that he has made in a short space of time has been fab! The communication between staff and myself has been great. He loves coming into nursery, thanks so much.

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amCherryIsland Nursery, hands down have been the best nursery. The girls have gone above and beyond to cater to my little boys needs, he has recently had a cochlear implant operation and the team have been so thoughtful and caring, ringing to check up on him and us to ask if, everything went ok. They have been a great support and continue to do so and all are keen to learn how his equipment works and support him in his next journey. I could not thank them all enough and hats off to his key worker she really is the best.

August 14, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little one has attended CherryIsland Nursery for almost 3 years and I cannot thank them enough for the support and kindness they have shown. Preparing him for school, educationally and emotionally. They are always professional and creative in the activities they arrange, drawing links to EYFS and supporting his development in all areas.

August 15, 2023 at 12:00 amMy children love Cherryisland Nursery. The play is varied and interesting, I love the effort the team make with my children. One of my favourite things is how they are greeted in the morning; without fail they are welcomed so nicely by a staff member, who is excited to see my kids. They only attend one day a week and I think this approach has been so effective in making them feel welcome and settled. All the team have made a great effort getting to know my children and as a result my eldest just adores everyone there. There is great communication both in person and via email. I’d recommend this nursery to anyone.

August 22, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has attended CherryIsland for two years now and has loved it. She has had so many great learning experiences at nursery and has come on so much in their care. We’re sad she’s leaving for school! The girls are wonderful and the relationship that my daughter has with her key worker is amazing. We thank them all so sincerely. I’d recommend CherryIsland to anyone looking for childcare on Hayling.
