Cherubs Ruddington

Excellent setting with excellent resources, including the outdoor space.
Freshly cooked, high-quality meals made.
Preschool team are excellent, however, there are frequent team changes.
There is an update emailed monthly so parents are kept informed this way as well as via the app.
Fees have increased somewhat recently, although I understand external factors do impact on this.

The standard of care is excellent! We are so cheerful with Cherubs Ruddington, our daughter has settled in amazingly well and loves the team so much!

We moved them here during the pandemic due to it being close.
They offer short day options, which helps the cost. The kids are making some excellent little friends, are consistently keen to go, come home with a bag full of drawings and positive things to say. The nursey recently had the outdoor playtime space redesigned and rebuilt which looks remarkable. Other facilities are also excellent.
The team are consistently welcoming and supportive. There are plenty of photos from activities they do during the day. The food is outstanding and they are consistently fed well. Though they do occasionally come home thirsty. We often walk to Cherubs and there is a busy road next to the childcare centre which can be a hazard to get across safely during rush hours, though this is not the childcare centre’s fault. Plenty of parking around the back.
All in all, an outstanding childcare centre and I am proud to have my kids attend! We currently have two kids at Cherubs Ruddington Day Childcare centre, aged 1 and 4, attending three days a week.

The team are fantastic and go above and beyond to help and care for him. He truly enjoys going to childcare centre. They have also updated lots of the facilities, the outdoor space is excellent! My son has thrived whilst at Cherubs Ruddington and has built highly strong foundations in all areas of his development.

He is excited to come to childcare centre every day and comes home telling us stories about what he and his friends have been doing. The snowdrops team have supported his development and he is so excited to move into the preschool room in the coming months. Thank you Ruddington and keep up the excellent work! My son has been attending Cherubs Ruddington Day Childcare centre for almost a year now and has formed excellent bonds with the team and kids.

Coming here has helped with his speech and he loves playing with other kids. He now has more routine and his behaviour is so much better, as he is beginning to communicate more of his needs. His eating habits have improved, trying new and different foods he wouldn’t normally do. My son has settled so well, he loves coming in.

He will consistently talk about his friends as well as the team. The team are consistently so compassionate and attentive and will tell me all about his day as well as updating the app. Although I can’t go in the childcare centre I can see through the windows and it consistently looks spotless with lots of toys. I regularly collect my nephew from this childcare centre and he is consistently so excited to tell me about what he has been doing.

That bad I’ve reported them to Ofsted, they are being audited by a funding agency and I’m taking them to court to claim for compensation after removing my kid without notice advising on Fri at 7pm. Poor updates, management and director have no idea what they are doing and don’t even know their own policies. Didn’t have a childcare centre manager there for the whole time my son attended. Incorrect invoices sent but nobody at the childcare centre responds to emails or messages left. Long story but we qualified for 30 hours free funding but were still required to pay full fees, even though they can claim for the funding, they don’t.
If you have a job or appointments to go to, beware as you will be late. Was left waiting between 20-30 minute almost every day when picking up my kid. Terrible journey with this childcare centre and beware of the hidden fees!
My son attended this childcare centre for three months (pre-school room) and we had no end of problems, too many to mention here.

The setting is lovely with a newly refurbished outdoor space.
I have consistently found the team welcoming and supportive. My son loves the team there and has a lovely relationship with them. I know he is cared for highly well. My son has been attending for eighteen months, in this time he has developed exceptionally well and this is definitely down to the way team engage and teach him.

There seems to be a big focus on diversity and inclusion which we are highly pleased about. The management of the childcare centre in the past six months has seemed much more consistent and engaged/organised. It would be great to have more information posted on the app e.g. daily updates or upcoming events. The childcare centre has an incredible range of toys, books, equipment and we are consistently impressed with the activities our kid does.
