September 3, 2024 at 12:44 amShe had six settling-in sessions building up from one to three hours (I joined the first one) which we thought was comprehensive, especially for such little ones in the baby room. The team are honestly all so nice to her. She has a lovely key worker and is also getting to know all the team in the room which I think is important for her to sense comfortable. She’s been given one-to-one attention when she’s been tearful/uncertain, but yesterday at pickup she was playing more independently and apparently she had slept at lunchtime – wahoo! – so I can see she is already cheerful. I’m trying to raise a baby without single-use plastic and the childcare centre have been truly open about cloth nappies and using a potty. My eleven-month-old daughter recently started at Little Elms Catford Green and we are truly cheerful so far.

September 13, 2024 at 2:30 amI’m continually impressed by the standard of care he receives, as well as the professionalism, enthusiasm and updates of the childcare centre workers. He shares an outstanding relationship with his keyworker, who is sensitive to his needs and provides appropriate goals and activities to enhance his development. As a parent, I consistently receive a inviting welcome and regular updates about my son’s development and sense reassured that he is being well cared for. Childcare centre facilities including outside space have recently undergone some improvements and new initiatives including online development reports and monthly newsletters enable more effective updates with parents. I would highly suggest Little Elms to other parents and will be sending my daughter here next year. My son is currently in ‘Robin’s Room’ at Little Elms.

September 13, 2024 at 7:14 pmOur daughter loves attending and the discovering gains she has made in the 2.5 years are exceptional.
Outside space for all rooms is excellent and offers a great variety of enjoyable and educational-related activities.
Food is nutritious, interesting and again, offers great diversity in terms of what’s on offer.
Big shout out to the Manager and the Deputy Manager and the other members of the management team for guiding the childcare centre through the pandemic. Communications throughout have been clear, concise and they’ve been transparent in their COVID-19 planning and measures since the start. Little Elms offers a exceptional discovering space for kids to thrive in which is supplemented by the assistance of remarkable team throughout the various rooms.

September 18, 2024 at 11:29 amShe only attends one day a week at present but whilst she’s there she’s thoroughly entertained and stimulated. I was apprehensive taking my 7-month-old to childcare centre at such a young age but the team have done their utmost to provide all the care my young daughter needs.

September 21, 2024 at 5:50 pmOur daughter settled highly well and she is cheerful to go every day (5 days a week). The carers she had in the first year were lovely and she was fond of them. They give you a report at the end of each day with activities, sleep, and food, which is truly useful. Classes are small so each kid is well looked after. In her first year, the garden dedicated to the class was a bit small but they have a lovely sensory room.
If I had to mention one way for the Little Elms Lee Childcare centre to further improve its service is updates with the parents, as it has been a bit ‘bumpy’ at times (much better now though). I would also improve cleanliness as the room has carpet, which is not great enough in my view for hygienic reasons. We are pleased with this childcare centre.

September 23, 2024 at 2:16 amThey were both outstanding. We were particularly cheerful with the quality of the team and the abundant energy they gave to the kids. The space is well organised and plentiful. Excellent feeling, excellent vibes, they are both highly recommended. We’ve had our boys go to Little Elms in Greenwich then Lee.

September 24, 2024 at 10:52 amFrom the highly great feedback ‘another mum’ told me about Little Elms – to the moment I first time spoke with the manager looking for a vacancy for my daughter until she physically started attending – they made us sense highly welcome. The team are all highly welcoming, my daughter enjoys attending the preschool class. The food is delicious (as my daughter told me).
Overall highly cheerful! We adore Little Elms.

October 15, 2024 at 7:15 pmPutting our son in childcare centre was a excellent decision as I can see how much he has grown and even compared to our friends’ babies, who don’t go to childcare centre, there is a difference in his social skills. The childcare centre has three gardens which is perfect as this is something we looked for in a childcare centre, it’s important to us that our son has the opportunity to get fresh air and playtime outdoors. My son started the childcare centre at seven months old and we were apprehensive starting him young but actually the team in the Bluebirds have been incredible at reassuring us and making sure our little one is cared for.

November 5, 2024 at 7:49 amAs soon as my little one joined the baby room I knew he was in secure hands. The team are highly informative and consistently highly cheerful. He is now in the toddler room and I couldn’t be happier with his development. The childcare centre has three large outdoor areas for the little ones to explore. I couldn’t suggest enough! What a lovely welcoming childcare centre.

November 10, 2024 at 4:52 pmMy sons key worker and all the other carers in his room are remarkable! They are so enthusiastic, passionate and compassionate. They have a genuine adore for the job and this is reflected in the fantastic care they give my son.
My eldest son, who is now at school, went to Little Elms for three years. We had a excellent journey at each stage of his development and with each of his key workers.
The management team are exceptionally supportive and efficient and everyone works well together as a team.
We sense highly lucky to have had the care and assistance from Little Elms and I would highly suggest. My kids adore/have loved it there. My 1 year old has been at Little Elms for six months now and we have had nothing but positive experiences.

November 15, 2024 at 7:57 amThe team work so hard and I truly appreciate the effort that goes into the everyday. You are all incredible – please carry on smiling and attentive! I’d like to thank all members of team who do such an important job looking after our kids, providing a cheerful, secure and creative setting.
Every morning we are greeted by smiles and the bond my son has developed with his key worker is incredible.
Blake Morgan
December 3, 2024 at 10:47 pmShe absolutely loves it and has thrived in the pre school room. The team are incredible, they are attentive and enthusiastic, consistently thinking about the kids and ensuring they are having enjoyable as well as providing discovering opportunities and a secure and secure setting. They have truly prepared her for the transition to reception. Updates is great, both from team in terms of daily updates and management in terms of wider updates. The room itself is lovely and well equipped with a remarkable outside area. I would 100% suggest Little Elms Lee. My older daughter left Little Elms Lee in 2019 after 3 cheerful years, and my youngest is just about to leave for school after another 4 fantastic years there.
Alex Blair
February 1, 2025 at 1:41 amHe thrived and now knowing the benefits a great childcare centre can bring to a kid, we didn’t give it a second thought with our 2nd.
Our baby just loves Little Elms, as do we. He settled in truly well and gets excited when he comes to the front door. He is so well looked after. A few times when tired at the end of the day, I found him being held by a carer on a rocking chair or snuggled up with them sitting on the floor. It is so comforting to know he is truly cared for when we’re at work.
The childcare centre have lots of outdoor space, but still, the carers take them on trips to the park or the supermarket highly frequently.
They eat freshly made healthy food from a varied menu. Sometimes, as a picnic in the garden if the weather allows!
It’s a little highlight of my day to drop my boy off and collect him as I see how cheerful he is at Little Elms – can’t suggest it enough. With my older boy, now in school, I worried about not spending enough time with him as he was in childcare centre 5 full days a week.

February 12, 2025 at 9:03 pmFrom when he started to now, we have seen that he is truly developing well. He absolutely loves his key worker and his Childcare centre Manager and is so cheerful when we drop him off for the day. He initially used to cry when he first started, but now he smiles and truly enjoys going in to have his day there. He gets involved with lots of the activities indoors, and as he loves to climb, he more often than not gets some quality time outside which is excellent! I would highly suggest this Childcare centre to all my family and friends. Our son, who is 2 years old joined Little Elms Daycare Childcare centre Lee back in January in the Hummingbirds room, so he has been there for about 6 months now.
Sawyer Turner
February 17, 2025 at 2:28 amThe team who work there are remarkable. They are exceptionally attentive and get to know each individual kid and their needs. This extends to management, too; they are exceptionally communicative and consistently go above and beyond to help.
The rooms and activities are excellent and my daughter has made so many lovely friends. She is so cheerful to attend every week, and our minds are put at ease as we know she is in an setting we trust. I would wholeheartedly suggest Little Elms Lee as a remarkable childcare provider. We adore them! My daughter attends Little Elms Lee and absolutely loves it.
Jesse Sawyer
March 5, 2025 at 6:37 amThroughout from her first days in the baby room, through to her joining the pre-school class, her respective key person consistently made an effort to connect with her and made her sense secure and well looked after. I have recommended the childcare centre already to several friends and acquaintances.
Recently, people have left the entrance gate open, so I would have to say the safeguarding needs definite improvement. My little girl truly enjoys going to Little Elms in Lee and her baby brother is already on the waiting list.
Gray Quincy
March 11, 2025 at 5:23 pmMy youngest daughter continues to adore going in every week. She has made outstanding relationships with the team there who are attentive and enjoyable. She has shown excellent development in her milestones whilst there and continues to grow socially. My older daughter thrived in the preschool room which set her up perfectly for reception. Would definitely suggest Little Elms Childcare centre. We have had a excellent time with Little Elms.
Carter Rowe
May 8, 2025 at 1:31 amWe have all been highly cheerful with the care they have received there. The kids have a large amount of indoor and outdoor space to playtime in, lots of activity corners to explore and Little Elms has consistently been highly great at organising visiting educators like ceramics or computer skills. My boys made excellent friends there, in a highly inclusive and stimulating setting and my eldest was raring to go for his first year at school, thanks to Little Elms’ preschool. Thank you to all at Little Elms. Both my sons have attended Little Elms Daycare, my youngest is in his final year there.
River Lawson
May 16, 2025 at 8:40 amAll of the team are welcoming and supportive, and he particularly loves his key worker. The childcare centre go out of their way to celebrate a diverse range of holidays and events, and the app to keep us up to date with food and naps is remarkable. My son has attended Little Elms Lee for 6 months and we have had a consistently outstanding journey.
Reese Bailey
June 26, 2025 at 2:32 amThey have been so attentive and considerate, not only to our daughter but to our whole family in the settling in period.
There is so much warmth from everyone who works here. They’re also so fantastic with my older five year old daughter who comes to drop off/pick up her sister. We’ve been blown away by the pastoral care as well as the functional activities / discovering they provide.
My daughter is excited to go to childcare centre and see her friends (small and grown-up). She even tried to climb back through the gate this week as she didn’t want to come home!
We are so pleased we found Little Elms and highly suggest to other families looking for a new setting for the kids. Our two year old daughter started at Little Elms Lee in the Robins room in October and she absolutely loves it here, as do we!
The team are outstanding from the keyworker and room team through to the settings management.
