Is it OK to prune these trees at this time of year or should we wait until the spring. If I prune the tree now, and there is a frost next week, will it damage the tree in any way?

Thanks
Young cherry trees need pruning to develop the correct shape, and mature plants will produce a better crop if pruned to encourage fruiting wood. They require only light pruning once established.
