September 18, 2024 at 4:45 pmThe kids just seem to have so much enjoyable with the committed and energetic team team and their friends. Our kid has been encouraged to become an independent, creative and compassionate little boy during his time at the childcare centre and has made such a lovely group of friends. Diverse in many ways, the childcare centre also seems to reflect the area in which we live. Highly recommended. We adore how focused the childcare centre is on playtime and development through playtime.

November 8, 2024 at 12:34 pmThe feedback we get at the end of the day and the Friday 5 is full of enriching, enjoyable and new activities that my daughter has explored. She is now so confident in social situations and the childcare centre and team have a huge part to playtime in that. My kid thrives at childcare centre and has a excellent relationship with all the team in the room.

November 19, 2024 at 1:53 pmThey are super, attentive and attentive. If there are any concerns or issues, they resolve it truly quickly and with kindness. My two kids adore it, and we look forward to them looking after our third one when they arrive. We have nothing but positive things to say about this childcare centre.

November 25, 2024 at 6:33 pmI sense exceptionally fortunate to have found such a fantastic childcare centre – the team are supportive, compassionate, and they care, going above and beyond each time. Management is strong and effective. Throughout the lockdown my son did not attend, however, we were kept up to date via frequent emails, being sent activity packs with zoom calls set up on a weekly basis. My son has come on leaps and bounds – he often asks to see his favoured members of team on the weekend! He is so cheerful and I can’t praise childcare centre highly enough.
As I say, I sense so incredibly lucky that we found such a excellent childcare centre and would highly suggest to anyone thinking about care for their little one. My son has attended New Cross childcare centre since he was six months – he’ll be three in October so he’s gone from baby room to the room he’s in now, which is toddlers.

January 18, 2025 at 5:51 amThe team and management team are exceptional – they’re attentive and welcoming and provide feedback each day on all the fantastic and enjoyable activities (including lots of water playtime and outdoor activities) that my kid gets up to as well as weekly written observations on my kid’s development. The management team are also highly responsive and have been highly great about incorporating and keeping parents updated on their COVID policies. The food seems excellent – the menu is highly varied and healthy and I know they cater for any allergies or dietary requirements. The outside space is large compared to other nurseries and the baby room has great facilities – including a separate indoor soft playroom which I know they adore exploring. New Cross is a highly special childcare centre – my kid only joined a couple of months ago and settled quicker than I could have hoped and is excited and loves going to childcare centre.

February 14, 2025 at 9:06 pmOur son has settled in exceptionally well and has developed exponentially since starting childcare centre 2-months ago. The team are all highly welcoming and expert, the food is outstanding quality, and the activities are well thought out. I sense confident knowing that my son is cheerful and well cared for every day. We are highly fortunate to have such an outstanding childcare centre nearby. I would definitely suggest New Cross Childcare centre to other families in the area. I am highly pleased with New Cross childcare centre so far.

February 22, 2025 at 10:04 amBut we have been pleasantly surprised by how well she’s taken back to it, and believe this has a huge amount to do with the exceptional team there. Many of the team have commented on how her self‑assurance has grown and have taken on board information we’ve given about her development during lockdown, and are striving to work with her in these areas. On one occasion there was a tricky drop-off, but the manager made the effort to get in touch with me later in the day to let me know she was doing well. Our daughter is cheerful and comfortable at childcare centre, has lots of enjoyable and likes the team highly much. Our daughter returned to childcare centre after lockdown, and we were expecting her to not manage highly well.

March 1, 2025 at 3:09 amThe baby’s room team are incredible and it directly felt a home from home for him. My son enjoyed it so much, and we much appreciated the daily feedback, the food diversity and the incredible range of activities they proposed. My son has now moved to the toddler’s room and nothing has changed: welcoming and expert team, creative activities and they even developed an app so we can trace what’s happening to our kid during the lockdown. My son runs to the childcare centre door every morning and comes back with a big smile when I pick him up…what more could I expect?
New Cross childcare centre and all its team is a rare gem in which you can put all your trust in! Thank you all for being so incredible with our kids! My son arrived at New Cross Childcare centre when he was 13 months.

March 1, 2025 at 7:10 pmThey have both loved their time there. From the baby room through to the pre-school it is a inviting, attentive, stimulating setting. The team are fantastic. They have coped brilliantly with the difficult circumstances of COVID. We would thoroughly suggest the childcare centre to anyone. Our two daughters have been to New Cross Childcare centre.

March 10, 2025 at 7:16 pm7:30 start and 6:30 closure so excellent timing flexibility outdoor space large but concrete so accidents happen even with the best care possible. Great development plans for kids and some stable team members.

March 20, 2025 at 10:47 amAll the team are compassionate and welcoming. It feels like we are part of a large family which warms my heart. My son is highly cheerful at New Cross Childcare centre, he has days filled with enjoyable and consistently comes home with a smile.

April 1, 2025 at 4:27 pmEvery day she comes home fascinated by something new or having learned some new word, phrase or concept. She is in tune with her emotions and learns how to deal with adversity in a supportive setting but also one which promotes independence. She was putting on her own coat before she was even two using a clever trick they taught her. Team have gone out of their way to provide opportunities to speak and hear her mother’s language as well which is extraordinarily supportive for a third country kid to understand their identity better. Thank you New Cross Childcare centre team. New Cross Childcare centre provides a team of passionate and almost impossibly adaptable team who highly capably accomplish the herculean feat of facilitating our small kid’s socialisation.

April 7, 2025 at 12:35 amThis childcare centre reflects home, with continuity and stability for the kids who attend.
The team know the kids – my kid’s adore of snails was reflected in activities. By 2, the kids are taught to take their shoes off and to put their coats on alone, and to be compassionate to others.
New Cross has large grounds with trees and garden space, so kids are outside all the time, despite an inner London setting. Kids here, are familiar with tree roots, butterflies, puddles or seeing leaves overhead, and rain on wet days.
The childcare centre groceries are brought to reception — so fresh carrots, bananas, and pulses are visible. Diet is varied with rice, couscous and fish, fruit snacks and homemade daily cooking. The kids have a help yourself penguin water jug all day long to keep hydrated.
Pre COVID parents were welcome anytime which was transparent.
Team speak to parents daily on pick up about behaviour, eating, and activities. A well organised childcare centre full of adore and creativity.

April 19, 2025 at 4:21 pmFrom the baby room to pre-school, he has thrived. The manager and her team are doing an outstanding job of attentive for the kids. The team are inviting, welcoming and nurturing. We could not have been happier. We will all miss you! Our son has been at Leyf New Cross childcare centre since December 2016.

April 20, 2025 at 7:22 amI can tell my son is truly cheerful going to the childcare centre that says everything.
It’s a shame I can’t see how he is doing there so much due to there being a restriction going into the childcare centre as coronavirus situation.
However, staffs usually give me excellent feedback in detail and I can access the online system.
I am pleased with everything they do in this difficult situation.
I’d suggest others for the New Cross Childcare centre!
Thanks

May 13, 2025 at 1:21 pmI’m highly cheerful with my son discovering English and making friends as he didn’t speak at all because he has not been in the UK long. My son looks so cheerful and is having the best time, he loves the educators highly much!
Lane Marsh
May 15, 2025 at 3:14 pmThey do new and interesting activities all the time and consistently listened when I had something to say! My kid is highly cheerful and wants to go to childcare centre all the time, so I’m cheerful with the place too.

May 30, 2025 at 5:21 pmWithout having grandparent’s nearby, this is a massive part of our assistance network. Our little one loves her carer and is visibly excited about going to childcare centre. I couldn’t continue my work without this incredible service and I am secure in the knowledge that our daughter is not only secure but is also discovering so much. Adore that they go to the market to buy their own veg. Keep up the excellent work! We adore our childcare centre so much!

June 12, 2025 at 9:18 amEveryone in the team is highly inviting, they all know my daughter by name and she enjoys seeing them every morning we go in. They have adapted well to the new normal, given us all the details of what goes on along the day, and keeping us informed about her activities and routines. Seeing my kid so cheerful and well looked after gives me the peace of mind and assurance that she could not be in better hands! The childcare centre is such a loving and attentive setting.
