Our setting

Cherry Tree has a lovely, safe outdoor space with a mud kitchen, water wall, slide, musical instruments and large apparatus such as tyres and planks of wood for the children to build with, climb over and expand their gross motor development.

Inside the “Hut” as it is affectionately known, you'll find a home corner, a quiet area with books, cushions and puppets, as well as a “loose parts” area, creative area, and a small world area in which the children can independently choose what they wish to play with. 

Committee

When parents are actively involved in their children’s learning and development, children achieve more. Charitable childcare providers benefit children by closely involving parents in the day-to-day running of the provision, its funding, and its overall management.

Cherry Tree is managed by a committee of volunteers nominated by the parents, who together form the trustees of the charity, and take the role of the Ofsted ‘registered person’. As well as benefiting children, volunteering offers parents the opportunity to meet other parents, get more involved in the community and widen their social network, update existing skills and learn new ones.
