July 5, 2018 at 12:00 amOur little boy (who is now 18 months old) has been going to this nursery for two days a week for the last two and a half or so months. He is very emotionally attached to his parents and we have had issues at other nurseries in the past with him having some separation anxiety. It is also very difficult to leave something so precious as a young child in the care of others.
So far, we are really pleased with how warm and caring the staff are and how happy our son has been since visiting this nursery and also how well he is developing with his language and social skills. All the staff I have met I have found to be honest, informative and demonstrate a genuine caring attitude towards all the children. When I go to collect my little boy it is a very quick and slick operation; the nursery uses a digital reader for access. My son is usually happily playing but greets his dad with a hug and a smile like he has had a good day.

April 29, 2019 at 12:00 amOur daughter has settled in like a dream to this nursery, no tears whatsoever, even on day one! This tells you all you need to know. This is a warm and nurturing environment where children and babies are cared for by a team of excellent staff. Leadership is great. Communication and relationships with parents, families and the children are strong and they have a wonderful outdoors, healthy, forest schools ethos.

June 25, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son has been at the nursery for under a year now but loves it a lot. He looks forward to going there every morning. They do have a lot of messy play activities indoors and outdoors, which is super fun for my child. I’m glad that he can do it at the nursery rather than at home. They spend a lot of time outdoors as well. It’s easy to communicate with the nursery, always get a quick reply and feel comfortable raising my concerns if any which have been dealt with very promptly. Early opening and late closing is very convenient for working parents. Definitely would recommend it.

June 25, 2019 at 12:00 amThe management and staff work hard to provide a safe environment where the children can grow, learn and thrive. I am impressed with the way the children are engaged and the amount of time that is spent outdoors. Staff are really effective in encouraging the children to use their imaginations and to build things eg. pirate ship/stage for performances from everyday objects. They encourage children to be disciplined with minimal use of punishment. I would highly recommend this nursery.

December 7, 2020 at 12:00 amOur daughter goes to Lysth. It really is a lovely little nursery. The big plus for us was the emphasis on the outdoors. The nursery manager said to me that there is no such thing as bad weather – just bad clothing choices – and it’s true. They have loads of activities for the little ones and a really good and varied menu. The staff are all wonderful and genuinely care for all the children. I speak to other parents and at the ‘gates’ most days and I’ve yet to hear a bad word. We’ve already recommended the nursery to friends from our NCT group and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.

December 15, 2020 at 12:00 amOur little one who is almost a ‘three-nager’ has been attending the nursery since he turned one and he absolutely loves it there. The staff are so caring and passionate and they really make good use of the outdoor space available to them, which creates a lot of fun but above all really allows little explorers to grow curious and independently. Not sure what else I could say? We love it. Our son has thrived and formed a beautiful bond with all members. We feel supported and involved at every step of the way. There is an app to track progress and daily observations. The menu is very nutritional and cooked fresh on-site every day by the lovely chef. The activities are excellent and fun. We honestly only have good things to say! Lysth is our extended family and they operate on similar values to ours so we really value their work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.

December 16, 2020 at 12:00 amGreat standard of care from the Lysth Nursery team. Lots of different parts in the nursery for children to explore and to keep them motivated. Friendly and welcoming team. Always keeping parents updated with child progress, especially daily diary logs in the nursery app which keeps parents updated on what the child has been up to for the day. Would highly recommend this nursery.

December 16, 2020 at 12:00 amThe staff at Lysth Nursery provide great care and meet both children and parent needs and expectations. Always updating the child’s progress on the nursery app which is very secure and a great way for parents to be acknowledged of what children have been doing at their time in the nursery.

April 8, 2021 at 12:00 amWhen my daughter started her first day in December 2020 she was crying because she didn’t want to come home, she loved it so much from her first day. The staff and management there are highly skilled and professional, ten out of ten. My daughter she still love it every day, it’s one of the best nursery in Lewisham.
