October 7, 2024 at 5:14 amThe team and management there are highly skilled and expert, ten out of ten. My daughter she still adore it every day, it’s one of the best childcare centre in Lewisham. When 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.

November 5, 2024 at 9:17 pmHe looks forward to going there every morning. They do have a lot of messy playtime activities indoors and outdoors, which is super enjoyable for my kid. I’m glad that he can do it at the childcare centre rather than at home. They spend a lot of time outdoors as well. It’s easy to communicate with the childcare centre, consistently get a quick reply and sense comfortable raising my concerns if any which have been dealt with highly promptly. Early opening and late closing is highly convenient for working parents. Definitely would suggest it. My son has been at the childcare centre for under a year now but loves it a lot.

February 4, 2025 at 6:14 pmHe is highly 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 highly difficult to leave something so precious as a young kid in the care of others.
So far, we are truly pleased with how inviting and attentive the team are and how cheerful our son has been since visiting this childcare centre and also how well he is developing with his language and social skills. All the team I have met I have found to be honest, informative and demonstrate a genuine attentive attitude towards all the kids. When I go to collect my little boy it is a highly quick and slick operation; the childcare centre 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 great day. Our little boy (who is now 18 months old) has been going to this childcare centre for two days a week for the last two and a half or so months.

March 2, 2025 at 2:35 pmThis tells you all you need to know. This is a inviting and nurturing setting where kids and babies are cared for by a team of outstanding team. Leadership is excellent. Updates and relationships with parents, families and the kids are strong and they have a fantastic outdoors, healthy, forest schools ethos. Our daughter has settled in like a dream to this childcare centre, no tears whatsoever, even on day one!

The team at Lysth Childcare centre provide excellent care and meet both kids and parent needs and expectations.

May 19, 2025 at 4:56 amThe team are so attentive and passionate and they truly make great use of the outdoor space available to them, which creates a lot of enjoyable but above all truly allows little explorers to grow curious and independently. Not sure what else I could say? We adore it. Our son has thrived and formed a lovely bond with all members. We sense supported and involved at every step of the way. There is an app to track development and daily observations. The menu is highly nutritional and cooked fresh on-site every day by the lovely chef. The activities are outstanding and enjoyable. We honestly only have great things to say! Lysth is our extended family and they operate on similar values to ours so we truly value their work and wouldn’t hesitate to suggest their services to anyone. Our little one who is almost a ‘three-nager’ has been attending the childcare centre since he turned one and he absolutely loves it there.

May 24, 2025 at 3:32 amLots of different parts in the childcare centre for kids to explore and to keep them motivated. Welcoming and welcoming team. Consistently keeping parents updated with kid development, especially daily diary logs in the childcare centre app which keeps parents updated on what the kid has been up to for the day. Would highly suggest this childcare centre. Excellent standard of care from the Lysth Childcare centre team.

June 19, 2025 at 7:37 amI am impressed with the way the kids are engaged and the amount of time that is spent outdoors. Team are truly effective in encouraging the kids to use their imaginations and to build things eg. pirate ship/stage for performances from everyday objects. They encourage kids to be disciplined with minimal use of punishment. I would highly suggest this childcare centre. The management and team work hard to provide a secure setting where the kids can grow, learn and thrive.

July 3, 2025 at 3:49 amIt truly is a lovely little childcare centre. The big plus for us was the emphasis on the outdoors. The childcare centre 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 truly great and varied menu. The team are all fantastic and genuinely care for all the kids. 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 childcare centre to friends from our NCT group and wouldn’t hesitate to suggest to others. Our daughter goes to Lysth.
