Review of Little Elms Lee from Lucy B (Mother of Child) published on 31 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son has had a great experience at Little Elms - he has been in the Doves baby room and the staff care so much about him and the others in his class and he always does so many fun and creative activities. We love seeing what he's been up to and updates they provide. The management too are super communicative and we always felt informed. He loves going to nursery and we'll miss Little Elms and the team so much when we move out of the area next month. Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a caring team. Thank you to Nadine, Yasmin, Skye and the whole Little Elms team!

Review of Little Elms Greenwich from C F (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our experience at Little Elms Greenwich has been exceptional. Our daughter has been attending for over a year now, and I am delighted to report on her progress. Initially, she exhibited some shyness and unease. However, the nurturing care and dedicated staff members, particularly in the Toddler's Room (Robins' Room), played a pivotal role in her settling in. I was consistently informed of her development throughout her adjustment period and initial weeks.
Over time, she has developed a strong sense of self-confidence and self-esteem. Within the Toddler's Room, she has engaged in enjoyable activities that have fostered her learning in various areas, including colors, basic numbers, and more. The nursery staff members are exceptionally friendly and readily available to provide assistance when needed.

Currently, our daughter is enrolled in the Pre-School Room, where she eagerly attends nursery and expresses great enthusiasm for interacting with her peers and new teachers.

Review of Little Elms Greenwich from L D (Father of Child) published on 22 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our Our experience at Little Elms Greenwich has been exceptional. Our daughter has attended for over a year and has shown remarkable progress. Initially shy, she has gained confidence thanks to the nurturing staff in the Toddler's Room (Robins' Room). She has enjoyed learning activities covering colors and basic numbers.
Now in the Pre-School Room, she eagerly interacts with her peers and has developed a strong understanding of the world. She participates in enriching outings to gather natural materials for craft activities. The nursery maintains high cleanliness standards and offers a diverse range of toys and nutritious food options, though I suggest reducing the frequency of soup served twice a week.

I wholeheartedly recommend Little Elms Greenwich. The feedback from teachers during parent-teacher meetings highlights her positive development, and the nursery hosts many family-friendly events that foster social interaction and bonding.

Review of Little Elms Greenwich from Nicola L (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have had the pleasure of sending my son to Little Elms Greenwich from a year old and it's a wonderful nursery. The staff are so warm and welcoming and make the children feel loved and completely at home. My son has flourished during his time here and he can't wait to get through the door in the mornings. I feel really at ease every time I drop him off there.

Review of Little Elms Crofton from C M (Mother of Child) published on 16 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We visited several nurseries and chose Little Elms over options that were closer or had better Ofsted ratings because of the welcoming and supportive atmosphere, the staff's excellent responses to safeguarding questions, cleanliness, and nutrition. Our child has been there for nearly a year now and we've continued to be glad we made this choice. A lot of people have put a lot of effort into giving our child a great experience. Had a few hiccups related to our child bonding with a particular member of staff, and then experiencing some developmental setbacks when that person rotates to another nursery or goes on annual leave, but those changes are inevitable in a nursery setting and staff have done a good job of helping our child get back on track. Most of the time it's easy to address any issues by talking directly with nursery staff; on the few occasions we've had to speak to management, they've been responsive and eager to partner with us to help fix any issues. Highly recommend.

Review of Little Elms Crofton from Barry S (Father of Child) published on 15 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with the care and love our daughter receives at this nursery. From the moment she walks through the door, she's greeted with such warmth and kindness - it truly feels like a second home for her.
The team in the Owls room are exceptional - a special mention must go to a few members of staff who go above and beyond every day. Their genuine care, patience, and positivity have made such a difference in our daughter's confidence and happiness. She always looks forward to her days there, and it's such a comfort knowing she is in such safe, loving hands.
They have a great app to provide us with daily updates, detailing what our daughter has been up to, eaten and also any progressive milestones and achievements. Their events throughout the year for Easter, Mother's/Father's Day etc are also incredible not forgetting their Christmas performance!!

Thank you for creating such a welcoming and supportive environment, we're so grateful for everything you do!

Review of Little Elms Crofton from Y M (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has been attending Little Elms crofton for almost 2 years, and we've experienced all the varying care they offer from 9 months all the way to 2.5 years.
We have always been so impressed with the teams in each room, and all the dedicated toys and educational resources that align with the childrens development.
They have a wonderful garden area outside that our son absolutely loves - especially in these summer months. They've recently planted herbs and vegetables to teach the children about growing your own food which has been really exciting for them.
The Nursery teams provide lots of great content and updates weekly on how the child is developing, and offer parents evenings to get a chance to hear how well they are doing and any areas for improvement.

Overall we are so happy with the Nursery and are looking forward to having our daughter join next summer.

Review of Little Elms Crofton from E R (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is about to start school but has been here since he was 11 months old. We have been so thrilled with every single stage. The care, attention, thoughtfulness, and fun that each member of the team bring each day is fantastic and exactly what a parent would want for their child. There is a spacious garden, sensory room, regular themed days centred to teach the children about the world, and correspondence between the nursery and parents is exemplary. Meals are healthy, varied and offer new tastes and textures, which is wonderful! Support for major changes including potty training, new siblings, and in our case, when personal reasons meant other family members were assisting with drop off and collection for a while, has been incredible.

Leaving my first child on his first day at nursery was emotional and scary, but I have only seen him thrive at Little Elms. So much so, that I have already confirmed my newborn's place here for when I return to work next year.

Review of Little Elms Crofton from Lou S (Mother of Child) published on 15 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Satisfactory nursery overall.
Very busy with limited resources to provide individual or consistent childcare which was quite disappointing when first joined. This is quite common amongst nurseries I was told. Unable to cater for vegetarians everyday accordingly to care updates via app.
Nice although worn, outdoor areas for exercise/playtime/learning which my child really does enjoy and will talk about back at home.
Toilet/potty areas are not always well maintained, as a parent I can appreciate little ones have accidents but the smell of urine is in the corridor/playroom sometimes.
Playroom teams are lovely but do change quite often.

Plenty of activities and variety of special events throughout the year for children to get involved in and learn different cultures, religions, festivals etc which is good.

Review of Little Elms Lee from L T (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter is in pre-school and has been here full-time since she was nine months old. The actual facilities are great and there is loads of outdoor space at all ages for the children to enjoy, as well as the fact that they take the kids on trips to the park and the local library every now and again. The staff are excellent - she has been so cared for in every room she has been in, and she learns so much that I am genuinely amazed at the end of the day.

Review of Little Elms Greenwich from Izabela P (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I'm very happy with the Little Elms Greenwich nursery my daughter goes to! The staff were amazing during the settling-in phase, making sure we both felt at ease. They're always on top of things, with everyone aware of any schedule changes or requests. The team is incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that my daughter loves. There's a perfect mix of independent play and group activities, plus lots of outdoor time. What I love most is how they tailor everything to each child's development. It's really become a second home for my daughter!

Review of Little Elms Catford Green from Joe H (Father of Child) published on 4 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic nursery! The staff are all brilliant - they are always so warm and welcoming with the children in the mornings, they provide wonderful care and education, and are clearly loved as our son is always babbling their names at home. They serve varied and nutritious meals, and are respectful of parent preferences/requests. They are excellent with their communication and provide updates throughout the day and at the end of the day, in addition to weekly roundups and general progress reports. Our son loves it, we love it, the team there do a fantastic job.

Overall Experience
Little one has been with nursery roughly 6 months. Despite changes in that time the nursery has been great in keeping us informed and up to date. The staff are genuinely caring, with special mention to a few members of staff. Love the updates, concern for my bubs' well being and little activities they host from time to time.

Great nursery and would definitely recommend.

Review of Little Elms Lee from K L (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've been really impressed by Little Elms Lee Bluebird baby room and now the toddler room.
The staff are incredibly caring and provide you with a daily update on pick up. We also received regular updates via the app update throughout the day. Creative activities are put on with monthly individual aims for each child under the curriculum. There are regular parents evening and other special activities such as Christmas song time.
Earlier this year our child underwent an operation and the nursery were very supportive both before and after with her recovery.
The nursery recently changed to using a nursery catering company for catering - the food is super healthy and nutritious!

Management are highly professional and responsive.

Review of Little Elms Lee from H C (Mother of Child) published on 4 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Little Elms have asked for reviews here to win half a day childcare!

My child is broadly happy and safe but under 5 and is not the most discerning customer. LE are blessed with some fantastic caring staff but rely heavily on bank staff. There was been no room manager in PreSchool for over 6 months. I have little confidence in management to give structure or communicate effectively and find many parents, including myself, chasing for improvements.

Reply from Arrie Aykum, Nursery Manager at Little Elms Lee

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear your child feels happy and safe, and we appreciate your recognition of our caring team.While we do use bank team members, they are fully trained by Little Elms, hold the same responsibilities as permanent staff, and help us maintain consistency...

Review of Little Elms Lee from Mandu R (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son started at Little Elms Lee, in their 'Bluebirds' room, when he was 9months old. He is now 19m old. Overall, we've had a great experience over the last 10months. The staff have been superb: caring, gentle, patient, warm, and professional - they honestly do amazing job. My son has benefited hugely from their experience and knowledge, and I (as a first time mother) have learned a lot from them too. My son's development has been enhanced in profound ways by being part of the Little Elms community. When problems or issues crop up (which is inevitable) I've found the branch management team to be helpful, compassionate, and proactive about sorting things out.

Review of Little Elms Lee from Charlotte M (Mother of Child) published on 27 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have 2 children at Little Elms in Lee, one in the baby room and one in preschool. My eldest started in the baby room and has built wonderful relationships and bonds with several staff members. They are incredibly caring, passionate and fun! I love that the children have alot of garden space, enjoying plenty of time outdoors and I often bump into them on trips to the local park and ducks.
The food is healthy and diverse and the app is great for ease of communication. I can also keep an eye on nappy changes, nap times and how much food they have eaten.

Both of my children love going to nursery and I feel at complete ease that they are happy and in safe hands.
