Cherubs Sutton-in-Ashfield is the perfect local nursery; let us tell you why.
Located in Mansfield with regular bus and train links into Mansfield city centre, Nottingham and further afield with direct access to the M1, making it a great local nursery for local and commuting parents. As we’re one of only a few nurseries in the area, the nursery has a real community feel, and we are proud of the relationship we’ve established with the local people.
At Cherubs Nurseries, we have used trusted teaching methods and the latest childcare research to form our unique learning approach to early years of learning, growth and development. These influence how we run our nurseries and the structure of the day for the children. We have integrated four schools of thought, those being:
- Montessori
- Hygge
- Reggio
- Forest School
Taking elements from each, we believe that our approach is the best for developing growing children.
For us, the children’s safety and welfare are the most important thing, and we know there cannot be any compromise with this, which is why we have everyone in our Childcare Team DBS checked and are either training towards or currently hold additional UK-accredited qualifications. The entire Cherubs team is also trained in Paediatric First Aid and Safeguarding.
We could say so much more, but nothing is better than coming to visit for yourself. Come and find out why Sutton-in-Ashfield is the ideal local nursery. Contact us if you need more information!
In 2018, Cherubs Nurseries proudly welcomed Nurseryworld and Friends into our family. This acquisition marked a new chapter in delivering top-quality care and education in Sutton in Ashfield. Read the full story to see how this journey began.

Key Features
Baby Unit
Designed based on the latest research and following our approach to early years, our Baby Unit (referred to as Daisies or Buttercups) is a home from home environment. Thoughtfully curated to stimulate very young minds, our Baby Unit promotes awe and wonder as children begin to explore the world around them.
Toddler Unit
Our Toddler Unit (referred to as Snowdrops or Bluebells) invites our inquisitive and enthusiastic children to join in with the carefully planned and organised educator-led activities throughout the day. There is real focus on providing lots of physical adventures as well as opportunities for quiet time, creative time and role play - where children can guide their own play based on their interests.
Pre-School
Our Pre-School is a large and open environment where children are free to guide their own play and learning. Independence is promoted through displaying resources at an appropriate height, self-service at meal times and taking part in group time. In Pre-School, learning is more structured and children follow a daily routine to prepare them for School.
Garden
Whether it's burning off some energy, climbing around or listening to a story. Our outdoor space has been bespoke-created based on the latest research and is set up everyday with the children's latest interests in mind.
Explorers
Following the principles of Forest School, weekly sessions are planned for the children either within the nursery environment or in the local community. These experiences provide children with the opportunity to discover the natural environment, play within it and make memories with their friends hiding, building and exploring.
On-Site Chef
We know how important it is for children to eat a healthy balanced diet. This is why our nursery has a dedicated chef who prepares nutritionally balanced meals for your child to enjoy and help them start good eating habits.
Sports Coaching
Delivered on a weekly basis by our qualified sports coach, all Pre-School children take part in a high energy and age-appropriate introduction to physical activity through a variety of sports including football, cricket and fencing.
Nursery App
Our Nursery App (provided by Nursery in a Box) enhances the nursery experience for both you and your child. Along with being able to sign your child in and out of nursery and pay your fees, it allows our Early Years Educators to effectively track your child’s nursery experience and learning journey. You can view this on demand and see live updates - making your own contributions via the parent's smartphone app.
Atelier
A place for our children to make, bake and create! This is an inspirational space, separate to the children’s usual room - where they’ll take part in exciting activities to unleash their creative potential.
Baby Sensory Classes
Hosted every Friday, in partnership with LullaBaby, babies take part in specially designed and selected activities to develop and grow in an age-appropriate and engaging way. These are also a great opportunity for new or existing parents to get involved with their child's time with us.
