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.

Why work at Cherubs Nurseries?

Family-run business, but with all the benefits you would expect from a bigger group!

Committed to taking people where they want to go - from personalised professional development pathways to continuous internal training.

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

Opportunity to progress and transfer internally - whether that’s within your current nursery or to another team or nursery within the group.

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.
