Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I wanted to share my experience with Little Elms. My daughter started when she was 9 months old and is now 2.5, and she's always been really happy there.
Right from the start, I felt so supported by the staff-especially in the first year when she needed regular medication. They always went the extra
mile to make sure everything was handled properly, which gave me a lot of peace of mind.
In the toddler room, she's been really loved and cared for. She's always excited to go to nursery-even after long holidays-and she comes home singing all the songs she's learned, which is such a joy.
The staff are always kind, supportive, and welcoming, and I really appreciate how they encourage her multilingual development, as we speak two languages at home. The regular updates and photos of all the fun activities are also such a nice touch.
Thank you, Little Elms, for everything you do!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've had our 2-year-old twins here since December 2024 and couldn't be happier. The care is exceptional, with a wonderfully consistent and dedicated team. On the rare occasions the girls were upset at drop-off, the staff went above and beyond to keep us updated throughout the day, which was so reassuring.
They offer fantastic activities and have a beautiful outdoor space that the children love.
A huge thank you to the whole team!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Iam so grateful for the warm and caring environment my daughter experiences at Little Elms ( Beckenham). Even though she attends only twice a week, she looks forward to every single visit with excitement and joy. The teachers are not only kind and patient but also truly dedicated to nurturing each child's
individuality.
Since joining, I have seen my daughter grow in confidence, creativity, and social skills. She comes home with a smile, stories to tell, and new things she has learned. I appreciate how the staff make every child feel valued and included, creating a safe space where they can explore, play, and learn at their own pace.
Little Elms has become a special part of our lives, and I am deeply thankful for the love, guidance, and inspiration they give my daughter

Little elms has been a great experience for my family. They have been caring and flexible and my daughter is enjoying herself so much so hardly wants to leave! The care team is mindful and supportive offering a wide variety of activities and balanced diet.

Review from Daniel G (Father of Child) published on 28 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little girl joined Little Elms at 10 months and initially it was very difficult passing our child over due to the guilt that naturally comes from leaving your child so young.
The staff at Little Elms however, made this transition so much easier and were extremely considerate of our needs. Our little
girl loves going to nursery, which can only be a testament to the great work from those employed at little elms. Thank you all.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for the last 2 years. Staff members are amazing and helped a lot at the beginning and made settling in really easy.
The team is creative and make sessions really entertaining for the children. The outdoor area is lovely as well as the cabin space for indoor
play.
Another bonus is checking what your child has been doing throughout the day via the app which is updated on regular basis.
Overall, always had a good experience with Little Elms

We've felt tremendous amount of gratitude towards the staff at Little Elms. They care for our son every day, and we get to drop off a very happy baby every morning, who's welcomed by a warm and caring primary caretaker (one in particular who he absolutely adores).

The staff here are incredible. So kind, caring and passionate. My little boy had a hard time settling in and the team were brilliant in helping to build his confidence and provide him with the support he needed - 9 months on he is thriving and we have seen a huge change in his development and independence.
Love all the different activities they get to do, you can see a lot of time and care is taken to ensure the children are learning and growing every day. Would recommend!

Our experience with little elms has been brilliant so far, they are so attentive and caring with my child and they have helped with his speech so much. I get updated throughout the day regarding what he's eaten, nappy changes, garden activities, sun cream applications and also pictures of him having
fun. so if you are a nervous parent like me this is the best nursery for you as they are so reassuring. Thank you Little Elms!

My daughter has a hard time with saying goodbye to me everytime we drop her off but the staff are so attentive and ready to make her feel settled with sending pictures throughout the day to make us feel at ease . The reception staff also go above and beyond to listen to concerns and help where they
can . Always friendly smiley faces and my daughter is always so happy to tell me about her day . She goes in the afternoons two days a week and the only thing I would suggest is having the same kind of activities the morning children have for afternoon children too . But we are really happy with her progress and the nursery overall

My little boy joined nursery when he was 8 months and he has settled well within a couple of weeks in bluebird room. The teachers are very caring and pay attention to him. They listen and understand his needs and always make sure he is happy. I am happy with the nursery. My little one always looks forward
to going and seeing his teachers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been taking my great-granddaughter to this nursery since about August 2023. Although she cries and doesn't want to go, once I leave her she runs straight to a member of staff and thankfully doesn't cling to me which is very reassuring. She is now settling in much better and cries less and less.
The staff are very kind to her, cuddle her and make a fuss of her and this obviously makes her feel more at ease. I can't fault all their kindness and I'm sure in time she won't cry at all! For the first time recently she didn't immediately run to me when I collected her which is another sign of her contentment.

My daughter joined Little Elms in August this year at 11 months old and I was so nervous firstly as a new mum and secondly because she was not a good eater or sleeper. I cannot believe how truly amazing the whole team at Little Elms have been in settling my baby in and for providing so much patience,
care and support. We have seen huge leaps in her development and communication which I can definitely say is a result of the wonderful staff and the activities they provide. She goes in every morning with a huge smile on her face and is greeted with such warmth and kindness. It makes my life easier as a full-time working mum, knowing that she is happy and settled throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend Little Elms more!

My daughter has been with Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham since she was 11 months old and is now leaving for school! She has loved the children and the teachers in every age group/ room she has been in. She has made some great friends and as a result, so have we! A huge thank you to everyone in
helping make her a kind, loving and headstrong little lady. I am certain our son (13 months now) will benefit from the same kindness, teaching and attention.

The staff here really care about the children which is the most important thing for me. They know the kids well, are happy to give updates and the app is great for sharing photos and info. Have built some really strong relationships, special mention to Beckenham2 Robins Room Leader who is simply fantastic.

Little Elms has been amazing with our little boy. He is clearly cared for, loves going in and seeing all the staff and his friends and his development has been incredible since his time at the nursery.
Daily updates for food, nappies etc. and observations are updated regularly so we can see what they
have been doing whilst he is in their care, staff are helpful and friendly if we have any queries or questions.
Can not thank the staff, particularly in Hummingbirds enough for the care and support for our little boy.
Highly recommend this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.191)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.191) out of 10 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham Elm Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.640 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham Elm Road is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.64
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.551 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham Elm Road is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 136 number of registered child places is 27.2. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 27.2 = 0.551
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
