Cherubs Worksop
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A day nursery in Worksop for children from birth to 8+, open 8am to 6pm. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in July 2022. Open since 2015, with 55 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 Nottinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Nottinghamshire 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 enjoy their time at nursery and quickly settle into their chosen activity.
They are kind and helpful. For example, children readily invite others to join their games and help to care for their friends by providing them drinks. This supports their developing social skills. Children are learning to manage their feelings and play safely. Staff deal with minor behaviour issues swiftly, and help children understand the need to turn take and share resources with their friends.
Children get plenty of opportunities to practise their small-muscle skills. Babies concentrate as they use spoons to dig in sand. Toddlers use chalks to carefully draw circles on paper. Pre-school children twist open spray bottles to fill them with water. They carefully squeeze the trigger to spray plants. This helps children develop the muscles they need for early writing. Children are inquisitive as they learn about the world around them. They listen to staff as they talk about the herbs they are growing. Children learn that plants need sunshine and water to make them grow. Staff extend this by showing children the plant roots and explain how they drink water from the soil.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- review the organisation of group times to help children remain focused n help staff to improve interactions with babies to encourage their early communication skills n support staff to embed toddlers' growing independence skills, particularly at mealtimes.

- Waiting list
No dataset holds any of this. Two parents telling us the same thing puts it on the page for whoever looks next.
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.
