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 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.

- Experienced and long-standing teams - plenty of support whilst you get to grips with Cherubs Nurseries.

- Exceptional early years environments - we heavily invest in our nurseries to ensure they align with our approach and curriculum and are the best places to work for our team.
- Proactive and forward-thinking culture - we’re committed to making Cherubs Nurseries a great place to work.
