Nursery Food
At Little Cherubs Day Care Nursery, we take great pride and care in the high standard and quality of the food we offer.
Special meal requirements (such as vegan and vegetarian diets) can be catered for daily, and we are also fully allergen compliant. All children have unlimited access to milk and drinking water. Our nursery menus are specially designed to provide a balanced diet, but we also consider what the children will like! Menus are changed weekly to ensure variety. A child that eats a well-balanced diet makes a healthy, happy, energetic little person. The nursery also holds a Gold Standard Healthy Snack Award for our excellent healthy snack menu and the wide variety of fresh and wholesome food we offer.

"Happy, Loving, Warm"
Little Cherubs stood out from the beginning compared to the other nurseries we viewed; happy, loving, warm and very much the homely feeling we were looking for. Our eldest has been going for nearly 3 years and our youngest for just over a year, and we couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. The staff are amazing - so cheerful, helpful and caring - and our children love coming here every morning. We have complete piece of mind while they are in their care, and we get regular updates through the app so we know and can see that they are having the best day. We honestly couldn’t be happier and will be sad when they have to leave to start school!Lucy’s and Harry’s mum
"Caring and considerate professional staff"
Our daughter Olivia has been attending Little Cherubs since she was 11 months old, after joining in May 2021. During that time she has progressed from the baby room to the toddler room and has loved each of her key workers, all of whom have often gone above and beyond. As a full-time working mum, I'm reassured that I know Olivia is having fantastic food, developing key social and development skills through creative play (a lot of messy stuff that we don’t do at home) and is looked after by some really caring and considerate professional staff, whom Olivia adores.Olivia’s mum
"The staff have always been very friendly and helpful"
My daughter loves going to Little Cherubs and often runs in and forgets to say goodbye! The garden sounds lovely and we love the new app which gives us a glimpse of what they get up to during the day. The staff have always been very friendly and helpful. We would definitely reccomend it.Avery’s mum
