About Us

Established in 1993, Cherubs Nurseries is a family-run business on a mission to give all children the personalities, skills and experiences they need to take on the world, without limitations. Central to our approach (inspired by Montessori, Hygge, Reggio and Forest School) is our Community Life work which aims to make the communities we serve better places to live, work and grow up in. From annual fundraising events to community clean ups and a robust Sustainability Action Plan.

We know it takes a village to raise a child and we want our nurseries to be reflective of our communities. We champion diversity in the early years sector and are driven to bring more men into early years, supporting MITEY to achieve a mixed-gender early years workforce.

Cherubs Kimberley is a modern, lively and well-laid out nursery with varied age groups and rooms. Overall, the nursery provides early years care and education for up to 135-children every day. The nursery is well-placed with good bus and road links and local amenities (within walking distance) such as supermarkets and food outlets.
