Our daughter started at Little Cherubs at 11 months old and has just graduated to Reception. We couldn't have asked for a better place. The facilities are great, meals are healthy and varied, but what truly sets it apart is the staff-they genuinely care about each child's wellbeing. Coming from a multilingual
home, we were amazed at how beautifully her language and social skills developed. She loved going every day, and we've built lasting friendships with other families-something the nursery actively encouraged. It really felt like a small, supportive community. Honestly, we don't have anything negative to say-though a bigger outdoor space would be a nice addition. Compared to the experiences of friends with other nurseries, we feel incredibly lucky. We'll miss Little Cherubs deeply and are so grateful for the incredible start they gave our daughter.

We can't thank the team at Little Cherubs enough for the care and support they've shown our son. He had a bit of a bumpy start settling in, but the staff were incredibly patient, kind and understanding throughout the process. Their warmth and dedication made all the difference, and now he absolutely
loves going in every day and they helped him get out of his shell.
It's clear how much they care about each child, they go above and beyond to make sure every little one feels safe, nurtured and included. We're so grateful for everything they've done for our little one.

Reply from Christopher Hayden - Gardner, Nursery Manager at Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool Sydenham

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. It truly means the world to our team to hear how much your son has grown in confidence and enjoyment since joining Little Cherubs. We know that settling in can be a big step, and we're so glad our patience and care helped him feel safe and supported. Seeing him come out of his shell and thrive each day is exactly why we do what we do. Your kind words mean so much to our staff, and we're grateful to have such a lovely family as part of our Little Cherubs Family.

Our daughter has been attending Little Cherubs Sydenham since she was 11 months old. She is now almost 2 and moved up to the "tiny tots" room after being in the baby room for the 1st 6 months. She absolutely loves coming to nursery. They managed the transition really well between rooms and she's built
up a lovely bond with the staff. She runs in the door every morning and doesn't look back! The staff take safety seriously and I always feel well informed with what's happening with my daughter while she's there. I get daily updates each morning with pics of the activities of the day - always really varied and interesting for the kids. No wonder she's happy. I also get some photos of her doing activities and then an update on her progress / comments to read which is lovely too. She is well taken care of and loved by the staff - which is so reassuring. Would recommend the setting to anyone.

Great nursery, fantastic staff, my kid absolutely loves it!


Our child has been attending Little Cherubs for 18 months, and he enjoys it so much. All of the staff are brilliant with the children, and the range of activities and events they organise is pretty amazing. We are able to keep up to date

on food/sleep/activities via the app and love getting pictures through of our little one enjoying his activities.


We strongly believe that attending nursery has positively contributed to our child's development in terms of language and social skills.

Handling my little one to the team in Tiny tots August 2024 was something i wasn't prepared for as a first time mum. But the comfort offer by the team leader in Tiny tots and the other team/staff in general has been and continue to be exceptional.
As a new parent transitioning into a nursery setting,
comforting and reassuring words is just what i needed and Little Cherubs certainly offered this!
The Tiny tots team goes out of their way daily to ensure myself and my little one connect through the app and also verbally during drop off and pick up time which i very much appreciate.
And lastly as a mum i feel relax dropping my little one there in a safe and secured environment..
I wouldn't have ask for any better for him.

What a fantastic nursery this is. I'd recommend Little Cherubs to anybody looking for a safe, friendly, and supportive environment for their little ones. Our daughter started out in the baby room at just 10 months old and the staff were absolutely amazing at getting her settled in - which made my return
to work so much easier! She is now almost 2 and is absolutely thriving in the toddler room. We're always kept up to date with their day to day activities via the app, including a log of their sleep, nappies, and all of the delicious food that they've eaten. The staff really do go above and beyond with the activities that they set out for them! Our son is due to start there in Autumn this year and I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd want to send him.

Reply from Maggie Denton, Area Manager at Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool - Shortlands

Thank you for the amazing review! when we hear things like this from our parents, it makes us very proud of what we do. We are so looking forward to her baby brother starting with us too!!

We have had a fantastic experience at Little Cherubs Day Nursery. My son attended the pre-school room and settled in very quickly which is a testament to the staff as he is quite apprehensive in new environments. I've seen him grow in confidence which has prepared him well for primary school.
The nursery's
facilities are excellent, and there are some great classes, celebrations and excursions organised by the nursery which my son really enjoyed.
I highly recommend Little Cherubs to any parent!

Little Cherubs Shortlands is a wonderful nursery with a true family feel. My three daughters went there over the course of 7 years and we couldn't have found a better nursery in the area! My youngest daughter started there at the age of 8 months and has progressed through toddler room and pre-school.
The staff in all rooms really care and pay attention to children's character- all three of mine were shy but have come out of their shell and thrived there through stimulating activities, kind care and attention!
Additional praise goes to management who ensure a strong family feel and that everything is run smoothly. The food is cooked on-site and is healthy and nutritious.
Thank you to everyone at Little Cherubs! We will be back next year!

This is an excellent nursery with longstanding staff that go out of their way to form meaningful relationships with the children.
My son started as a young baby and graduated at the end of pre-school. He was a challenging baby, but the staff persevered and built a close and loving relationship with
him. The baby room is small with very experienced staff (shout out to one staff member!). Having this level of care was much valued during lockdown when we had no access to people beyond our immediate family unit. As he grew older the team fostered his interests delivering far beyond what you might expect for a nursery/preschool.
Day-to-day experiences included specialist sports teachers, French teachers and dance teachers. I was amazed by what my son learnt from them. The nursery also delivers experiences for the kids and families like Christmas parties, Christmas nativity, trips to farms and forest school. They definitely went above and beyond exemplified by the graduation ceremony at the end.

Reply from Maggie Denton, Area Manager at Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool - Shortlands

Thank you, we loved having him with us, such a very special soul and everyone he met instantly bonded with him. We are so honoured to have made such an impact and know he will do great things in the future!

We couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. Our boy joined when he was just 18 months old and will be leaving this week as a kind, confident 4-year-old kid who is set up and so excited for big school. Over the years the fabulous team have supported us through dropping naps, toilet training and
the separation anxiety phases - calling us up after tough drop-offs to reassure us that he was fine (when we weren't!). They have such a fun approach to learning and endless creativity across both daily activities and the big events they have organised over the years. The communication is fantastic and the management team couldn't be more friendly. We have never felt the need to worry about his safety or happiness. And most importantly our son has loved his time there!

Our 3-year-old son has been at Little Cherubs since he was 10 months old, we have always been happy with our choice to send him here, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.
Since the early days of his transition away from spending all his time with us, to navigating some challenging
behaviours of toddlerhood, I have always felt that he (and I) have been well supported by the staff.
The variety of food is brilliant, and the activities - both external people coming in and what they plan for them - are excellent, I always feel confident that his development is being well supported.
We've had positive experiences with all the staff members we have dealt with, and his safety and security have never been in question.
Thanks to all the team!

Our experience of Little Cherubs has been nothing short of exceptional. The staff are so engaged, caring and helpful. Thanks to this care and attention, our child is thriving socially and we are amazed by her general development during her time in the Little Learners room and in Pre-School. The staff
handled this transition between classes brilliantly and were instrumental in helping our child to become fully potty trained at the same time. This is not to mention the simple fact that our child is so happy there. I couldn't recommend Little Cherubs highly enough.

My son has really thrived at this fantastic nursery. Staff are very caring and the management runs it all extremely well. Staff turnover is very low and my son has formed an incredible bond with his key worker, who we are very fond of and will miss dearly when he leaves for school. I've been particularly
impressed by how they have got my son ready and excited for school - support for parents on this front has been fantastic too. My son loves the food and leaves clean plates every day - it's all cooked onsite by the nursery cook and the menu is really impressive. Any niggles have been few and far between - anything raised has been taken seriously and addressed promptly. Great range of activities too (my son used some of his French on holidays). I really can't recommend this nursery enough.
