We are Opening The Doors to Our Amazing Nursery Join Us for Our Open Week In May

Our Nursery

Apples and Cherries Day Nursery supports children in their Early Years aged from 6 months old to 5 years old.

About Us and Our Approach

Apple and Cherries day nursery has 3 aged group rooms, that are filled with age-appropriate resources and equipment.

We believe in nurturing children’s individual interests to help them develop and grow in all areas of their education and wellbeing. We thoughtfully create beautiful play spaces, using many varied resources to ensure children are inspired to investigate, explore, ask questions and learn.

Our vision is to provide outstanding care for all children, using an approach that fits around your child. We support them, with a view to improving every child’s life chances, promoting equality and opportunity for all.

We have an extracurricular activity called Tots on Tour. This is where staff members take the children on local outings around the community. If you would like more information about the ratios and safety, please ask the nursery for a copy of our Outings Policy.

We build positive relationships, role modelling, and create awe-inspiring learning experiences with your child that offer boundless learning opportunities that embrace each child as an individual, as a ‘unique child’. We enable each child to grow, flourish and achieve their own potential at their own pace building a healthy, independent and happy time whilst in our care at Apples and Cherries day nursery.

Our Outside Areas

Each room has its own separate outside area, with resources and equipment which is enhanced to their specific age range. Each area has its own sand area and mud kitchen, which allows children to explore play in different ways.

Preschool have a rock climbing tree, which enables them to push their physical boundaries to their limits, this not only helps improve a child’s physical abilities but allows them to make choices and engage in risk-taking.

What Our Parents Say

Very talented and caring staff. My son really loved this nursery. He learnt a lot in all aspects from communication, relationship building, being independent, to learning maths, shapes, letters, word, sentences etc. Really pleased with the development. Thanks to all the lovely staff, you are all the best.

Vaibhav H (Father of Child)

My daughter has been in the nursery since the Baby Room. It has been an incredible journey. Now she is in the pre-school and every day she is excited to go to the nursery. She loves the staff, her key worker, the other kids, the setting (especially the garden). She really enjoys all the activities organised through the week/day. She enjoys and has fun while learning. The staff encourage and support multilingual families making the kids feel proud they can speak more than one language. Now the staff are also getting her ready to go to school this September. The staff have always been amazing, very approachable, flexible and caring.

B C (Father of Child)

The staff are so kind and caring, they all know my daughter even those in different rooms. She skips in to see them every day and they are as excited as me when she does new things. It's a home away from home.

H G (Mother of Child)

I can't thank the staff enough for giving me peace of mind when my child is with them. The number and variety of activities each day is amazing and the fact they manage to get in the garden or go on trips - even in winter is fantastic. My child's development is streets ahead of his peers who don't attend nursery.

S H (Mother of Child)

The nursery has a lovely nurturing and vibrant atmosphere which my son loves. There is plenty of space for him to explore and learn via the vast range of toys and equipment they have. I know he is well cared for. I am always well informed and I work together with the nursery staff to give my son the best possible experience.

Claire F (Mother of Child) 

The care, consideration and attention my son receives is exemplary. Staff pay attention to his strengths and weaknesses and verbalise them to us and ideas for developing them are implemented. All staff demonstrate an excellent attitude and have excellent relationships with their designated children.

A D (Father of Child)

The staff were warm, caring and professional and the facilities are great. We felt like our daughter was part of a big family. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all working there.

E S (Mother of Child)

I have been impressed by the level of care given to my son since he started. The daily warm welcome of the staff makes both children and parents alike feel at ease. Seeing the smile on my boy's face as we drive into the car park is proof enough for me that the team are doing something right.

Alexander M (Father of Child)

My little girl has recently started and is absolutely loving her time at nursery. The settling in sessions were brilliant and really helped put my mind at ease, especially with me starting back at work. The ladies in the Baby Room are super friendly and enthusiastic and I can't thank them enough for their support in what could have been quite an emotional rollercoaster.

G W (Mother of Child)

Once I drop my son off into the Baby Room, I feel he's as safe and as well looked after as I do at home.
