Cherry Tree Nurseries
Good★ 4.9 on GoogleBirth to 8+Open for decades
A day nursery in Coventry for children from birth to 8+, open 08:00 to 18:00, 6 days a week. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2024. Open since 2007, with 38 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Coventry
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Coventry from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children run down the path to the setting and eagerly wait to enter. They happily separate from their parents when greeted by their key persons. This shows they feel safe and secure. Children's behaviour is good and staff support them to follow the rules of the setting.
Staff plan a curriculum that builds on what children already know and can do.
Children enthusiastically tackle challenges that build their large-muscle skills, indoors and outdoors. Babies crawl around and practise their walking skills as they cruise around fencing and low-level equipment. Toddlers climb up and down steps and gleefully come down slides as they play peekaboo with staff. Pre-school children build on these skills as staff support them to safely climb apparatus, pedal tricycles and practise their ball throwing skills. This all helps to promote children's physical and mental health and well-being.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- provide children with time to listen, think and respond, to further support their thought processes and communication and language skills n review the organisation of adult-led group activities, to ensure children can hear what is being said and to enable them to participate fully and raise their learning to a higher level.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
