Nursery Photographer in Warrington and Cheshire
Professional portrait days for nurseries, preschools and playgroups, planned around your routine and completely free for your setting. We photograph around 20 nurseries across Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester, and every child is photographed individually in our mobile studio. Parents can view and order from a private online gallery within 48 hours.
Christmas 2026 dates are being booked now
Our Christmas set brings a festive studio straight to your setting, perfect for gifts for grandparents and keepsakes for the family. Book your photography day by 20th November and printed orders will be back at your nursery before you close for Christmas.



Why nurseries choose Cheshire Cherubs
- Free for your setting, with minimal involvement. There’s no charge to the nursery and very little for your team to do.
- Free staff photographs. As a thank you, we photograph your team at no cost, ideal for your website, noticeboard and parent welcome packs.
- One setting per day. We never rush. Leah spends as long as your children need, so you get relaxed, natural smiles rather than a production line.
- A full studio comes to you. Professional lighting and backdrops set up in as little as 3 square metres.
- Every child photographed individually, with their name matched. No sorting or labelling for your staff.
- Galleries live within 48 hours, often sooner, each one private and password protected.
- Free delivery back to the nursery for orders placed before the gallery deadline.

How a photography day works
- Pick a date. We arrange a day and timetable that fits around meals, naps and outdoor time.
- On the day. Leah sets up the mobile studio and photographs each child individually, only those whose parents have given consent.
- Parents view and order. You hand each family a personalised slip with their gallery address and password. Galleries go live within 48 hours.
- Prints come back to you. Orders placed before the gallery deadline are printed and delivered free to the nursery around a week later for parents to collect.
Orders placed after the deadline can still be made through the gallery, but they’re sent direct from our lab with delivery charges, and some packages are no longer available.
Safety and data protection
We know you’re trusting us with the children in your care, and we take that seriously.
-
- A member of your staff is present at all times during photography.
- We only photograph children whose parents have given consent.
- Galleries are private and password protected. Each family sees only their own child’s images.
- We handle all data in line with UK GDPR, and images are deleted three months after your photography day.
- We carry £5 million public liability insurance.
What parents can order
Packages start from just £18, with a choice of printed and digital photographs. There’s no obligation to buy, and parents can order at their own pace before the deadline.

Frequently asked questions
Does it cost the nursery anything?
No. There’s no charge to your setting, and parents only pay for what they choose to order. We also photograph your staff free of charge.
How long does a photography day take?
It depends on numbers and how the children are feeling on the day, but as a guide we photograph around 12 children an hour. We only book one setting per day, so there’s never any rush.
What if a child is upset or off sick on the day?
We take things slowly and come back to children who need a little more time. If a child is absent, their parents are welcome to book an appointment at our Warrington studio instead.
How much space do you need?
At least 3 square metres, ideally in a quiet room or corner. We bring everything else.
Do parents have to buy anything?
No. Viewing the gallery is free and there’s no obligation to order.
When will prints arrive?
Around a week after the ordering deadline, delivered free to the nursery for parents to collect.
Can siblings be photographed together?
Yes. Brothers and sisters who attend the same setting can be photographed together on the day.
