November 16, 2017 at 12:00 amI have visited most nurseries within the Forest Hill, Catford and Beckenham areas. I am a very critical parent having moved my child from a well-known nursery owing to safeguarding concerns.
My daughter has attended Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham for approximately 18 months and I am very happy with the standard of care given and her learning and development thus far. I recently gave the nursery constructive criticism and all the staff in my daughter’s room rectified the situation immediately and made changes the very same week. I would definitely recommend Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham as a good nursery.

October 18, 2018 at 12:00 amI would highly recommend Little Elms. The staff are very caring and engaging. My son has learnt so much from the interaction given from staff for his development. He has attended since 9 months and is now in the last room preschool age 4. The management are good at communicating information and take on feedback when raised good or bad and keep you updated. The garden space has recently been invested in and the children use the space regularly. Other activities are included in your costs such as Zumba, Tennis and French. Overall the staff make the nursery welcoming and accommodate the needs of the children. Thoroughly recommend.

August 28, 2019 at 12:00 amI have been sending my son to this nursery since he was six months old and never for a day I felt uncomfortable. I think I made the best decision and best choice for my child. Since day one he has been cared for and nurtured almost like I do for him. I can see growth in his emotional, mental and cognitive development. His language is building up and so is his confidence. He doesn’t ever act shy in front of any unfamiliar adult because of the exposure he gets in his nursery. All the staff members there are very considerate and compassionate. They keep me well informed about what goes on with my son during the day. I almost always receive him chirpy and happy in the evening which is a sign that my son feels comfortable there. he looks forward to attending his nursery in the morning. I cannot recommend them high enough. Thanks to all the staff for putting a mother at ease.

September 16, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending this nursery since 14 months old, (in Bluebirds) and is now 21 months. The carers have been lovely, encouraging me to call them if I need to “check up” on her, which I have. I didn’t need to worry as she settled quickly once I left. Also some positive feedback at pick up and anything that is not, they have talked to us about it (nothing to do with level of care, just my daughter isn’t used to other children/nursery environment and what we can do to help her). Now my daughter finds nursery fun, loves the food there (had seconds on a few occasions), and generally enjoys her time there. I love getting updates on the Learning book and seeing how she spends her time there, it’s updated quite often so never had to chase it up. Lots of creative actives and messy play which is great, email updates received every so often which is also good. I highly recommend Little Elms, please consider this nursery, we were glad to put our daughter there

October 16, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son joined the Doves1 room at Little Elms when he was just over 11 months old. We were both extremely nervous and emotional during drop-offs. The team were very patient and understanding and gave lots of reassurance when I telephoned from work to “check-in” (which was pretty much every day to begin with)! I’m happy to say my son enjoys going there every weekday and since he’s moved to Doves2 for the slightly older babies, his confidence has grown tremendously. He is eating well, speech developing quite rapidly and as I recently discovered, has 2 best friends in his room with whom he has lots of fun on most days. I’d recommend Little Elms to any parent/guardian contemplating nurseries in this area; particularly because of the lovely girls who are looking after the children. I’ll use this opportunity to give a big shout out to the Doves team and say thank you for taking care of my son. I hope the management duly value the good work you are all doing.

February 15, 2020 at 12:00 amMy daughter started nursery when she was one year old and staff at little elms Helped a lot with her adjustment period and they answer my call twice a day and gave me updates on my daughter. She has moved on to preschool this month and I am so happy with her transition, the care and support are fantastic and I defiantly recommend this nursery.

October 20, 2020 at 12:00 amMy children have recently moved to this nursery since having a bad experience at their past nursery. They fitted my children in with very short notice, settles were brilliant, even with Covid-19. Friendly staff – my eldest is in the pre-school room and my youngest in the baby room, both rooms have amazing staff, and I’m extremely happy with their care. Handover sheets from the baby room are great. My eldest child has taken a liking to his keyworker like a duck to water, he speaks highly of her. The pre-school is perfect to get children ready for the transition to primary school.
Management is friendly and has great communication with us as parents. I wish I sent my children here from the start.

February 3, 2021 at 12:00 amExcellent nursery. The staff are diverse and do a lovely range of activities with the children, including fun and educational. They are very organised and very receptive to feedback as well, for improvement. They have been caring for my son, who will be going on to reception in September, for over two years now. He has enjoyed Little Elms very much, including his tea time as he usually asks me not to pick him up before tea is served. I also like how the nursery has used video and app technology to show weekly pictures and videos of my son’s progress and playtimes. Really precious when I’m missing out on his development whilst I’m at work. My wife and I always receive quick updates and feedback on any issues related to the nursery or our son. Keep up the great work Little Elms Beckenham.

February 3, 2021 at 12:00 amFabulous care, great activities and lots of fun. We’ve been using Little Elms for the past year and are really pleased with their care for our daughter. They also provide regular updates on an app with photos, videos and comments, so we get an insight into her day. She always seems to be having a wonderful time.

February 3, 2021 at 12:00 amLittle Elms Beckenham has been a fantastic setting for my two-year-old. Staff, from the reception area to the children’s rooms, are all incredibly professional, show a dedication to the children and all seem to enjoy their jobs, which does make a difference. The facilities are great, lots of access to equipment both indoors and outdoors. Would highly recommend this nursery.

February 5, 2021 at 12:00 amWarm atmosphere, good care, our daughter loves it. Would definitely recommend. Really good on inclusion. Good at settling. Have been conscientious throughout Covid. Couldn’t be happier. Also, I enjoy the regular updates through the learning book.

December 20, 2022 at 12:00 amMy children love going to nursery and come home telling me something new they have learnt everyday. The team are friendly and knowledgable but most of all attentive to my children’s needs, who can be challenging at times. I feel confident leaving my children everyday.

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amLittle Elms has been amazing with our little boy. He is clearly cared for, loves going in and seeing all the staff and his friends and his development has been incredible since his time at the nursery.
Daily updates for food, nappies etc. and observations are updated regularly so we can see what they have been doing whilst he is in their care, staff are helpful and friendly if we have any queries or questions.
Can not thank the staff, particularly in Hummingbirds enough for the care and support for our little boy.
Highly recommend this nursery.

June 19, 2023 at 12:00 amThe staff here really care about the children which is the most important thing for me. They know the kids well, are happy to give updates and the app is great for sharing photos and info. Have built some really strong relationships, special mention to Beckenham2 Robins Room Leader who is simply fantastic.

July 19, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been with Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham since she was 11 months old and is now leaving for school! She has loved the children and the teachers in every age group/ room she has been in. She has made some great friends and as a result, so have we! A huge thank you to everyone in helping make her a kind, loving and headstrong little lady. I am certain our son (13 months now) will benefit from the same kindness, teaching and attention.
