The 31-year-old singer is planning to only offer contracts for singers who are "over 18" so she can be confident that they are emotionally mature enough to handle the pressures of the industry.
Cheryl said: "It's too much pressure. They would have to be over 18. But I would develop them while they're in school.
"Look around at the child stars - the record's not exactly promising."
Cheryl was 19 when she first appeared on Popstars: The Rivals and is excited to begin her new role at her record label after being a mentor on The X Factor.
Cheryl told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I would nurture the artist before they put anything out there. I would ensure my girls do a preparation course.
"I love the aspect of 'X Factor' where I'm nurturing talent. Watching the sparkle in someone else's eye and remembering you having that dream, it's such a buzz."
She has admitted that it will take time to launch her own recored label and will take the appropriate people to get it up and running.
She said: "These things take a long time. I have to get the right team."
