Cherish Day Nursery Within Grove Centre Church

Cherish Day Nursery is a well-established, Ofsted registered nursery, with a 'Good' graded provision, offering the highest quality of childcare within a caring, safe, and stimulating environment. We believe that every child is unique and deserves the best possible start to life. This is supported by child development studies, which are clear that children develop quickly in the early years and that a child's experience between birth and age five has a major impact on their future.

Our Mission and Philosophy

At Cherish Day Nursery, we understand that children develop quickly in the early years and that their experience during this period has a lasting impact on their future. We strive to provide every child with the social, emotional, and physical skills they need to thrive and achieve their full potential. We believe that teaching children and play go hand-in-hand, and that education and enjoyment should be intertwined.

The Nursery

Our nursery operates over two stories, has two excellent outdoor spaces, and is registered for 30 children from the age of 6 months to 5 years. We understand the pivotal role parents play in the nursery experience and strive to ensure children are ready upon leaving for the opportunities ahead of them.

We believe that each child's learning and care is tailored to meet their individual needs, and our staff seek to engage and support parents and carers in guiding their child's development at nursery and at home.

What Our Parents Say

Both of my children have attended this nursery since they were 9 months old and I have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for the staff who have taken care of my children for the last 8 years. (Parent, S.S)

Our beautiful daughter joined Cherish Day Nursery at eight months young. Now our pre-school daughter has matured into an intelligent, well-behaved, cheeky little girl excelling way beyond her age in literacy and numeracy due to the ongoing care and attention given from the excellent staff at the nursery. (Parent, S.J.)

Our son Lucas has been going to Cherish Day Nursery since he was 10 months old and he is now nearly 2. The staff are lovely to the children and give us daily feedback on how Lucas spent his day. (Parent, name not specified)
