July 20, 2016 at 12:00 amOur little one has been at Little Elms Catford full time for the past 7 weeks and I can say so far so good.
Good bonds have been built with the careworker and our little one reaches to the careworker most of the time upon drop off and always seems happy upon pick up. On the odd occasion when there are tears, the staff know how to distract from me leaving and the tears normally stop within a minute. Our child appears to be eating and sleeping well whilst at nursery now so has relaxed into the daily routine, thanks to those looking after him. The team seem to spend a varying amount of time on different play and learning activities (including brief French singing classes) and we often receive fun pictures at the end of the day.
All staff are friendly and communicate well. There were a couple of tiny admin problems upon opening but all appears to be running smoothly now. The facilities are good and clean as all brand new. The weekly menus seem good and varied.
Currently happy.

September 19, 2016 at 12:00 amI’m so glad that we chose Little Elms Daycare Catford for our daughter. She started in June and has gone from strength to strength in the last few months. She is a shy child who is wary of strangers but is becoming more confident by the week. Her language and social skills are both improved. The staff are excellent and supportive to the child as well as the family. She looks forward to attending and I feel reassured that she is well looked after. There is a good range of activities and toys and they make good use of the outside space, encouraging outdoor play in all weathers. She often comes home clutching some artwork and telling me about what she got up to with her friends. They receive nutritious meals cooked on the premises.There is good communication from staff regarding what is happening generally in the nursery and what the children have been learning. The facilities are clean and well maintained. I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery.

September 25, 2019 at 12:00 amMy oldest started at Little Elms when it first opened and both my children have loved attending this nursery; it’s been like their second home. The management and staff are fantastic and accommodating. They have been supportive of my son’s special dietary needs. The cook is amazing! Both my children have thrived here, received excellent care and preparation for school. I would recommend this nursery to friends and family.

September 25, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter left Little Elms in September after 3 years there. We were very happy with Little Elms over the years and I still have a pang when I think of the wonderful staff and her great time there!
Her development both socially and academically is right on track and they have great extracurricular activities like Computer Club, French, Zumba and also field trips to Museums and the Seaside, which she greatly benefitted from.
The staff are great, they really care about the children and always seem calm and unfazed by any general chaos, inevitable in a room full of little ones. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Little Elms Catford.

October 2, 2019 at 12:00 amMy daughter attended this nursery from just before her first birthday until she was three and a half years old. She was well looked after throughout her time and built very close relationships with all the staff. The manager is absolutely lovely and I have never had any worries about leaving my daughter there. I have signed up for my other daughter to attend when I return to work.

November 13, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Little Elms Catford for 1.5 years, since he was 1 year old. He has always enjoyed the nursery and is happy to go each day (he is full time). The staff are very helpful and friendly. There has been a good consistency of staff, particularly in the last year and there are lots of extra activities.

December 13, 2019 at 12:00 amI would definitely recommend this nursery – lovely staff, very welcoming and I can’t fault it. My daughter has loved every minute being there and my son can’t wait to start in January.

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amI searched for a nursery for my son for a long time but none of them seemed fitting, then I came across Little Elms, and one of the things that stood out for me most was when you call the nursery you get the children’s voice at the start of the phone call I think this was a really sweet touch, the staff are extremely polite and friendly, very welcoming. My son has learned and grown so much in the time he’s spent at Little Elms, I love that I can access the family app to see what my child has eaten, or things he did that day. I really do appreciate the hard work they put in to make sure my son is safe and well looked after. I know he’s very happy here because he’s so excited in the morning to go to nursery and see all his friends and teachers and that really makes my day to know he’s happy going to nursery.

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amThe most amazing place! Everyone is so professional and so smart, as a mother that works, feedback and reports are so important it makes you feel less guilty about not spending that much more time with them. These guys reassure me constantly of my child’s development, happiness and sadness at times. My child feels safe, happy and warm. And that is all a mother could wish for. Thank you Little Elms, we love you.
