Warm atmosphere, good care, our daughter loves it. Would definitely recommend. Really good on inclusion. Good at settling. Have been conscientious throughout Covid. Couldn’t be happier. Also, I enjoy the regular updates through the learning book.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent nursery. The staff are diverse and do a lovely range of activities with the children, including fun and educational. They are very organised and very receptive to feedback as well, for improvement. They have been caring for my son, who will be going on to reception in September, for over two
years now. He has enjoyed Little Elms very much, including his tea time as he usually asks me not to pick him up before tea is served. I also like how the nursery has used video and app technology to show weekly pictures and videos of my son’s progress and playtimes. Really precious when I’m missing out on his development whilst I’m at work. My wife and I always receive quick updates and feedback on any issues related to the nursery or our son. Keep up the great work Little Elms Beckenham.

Fabulous care, great activities and lots of fun. We’ve been using Little Elms for the past year and are really pleased with their care for our daughter. They also provide regular updates on an app with photos, videos and comments, so we get an insight into her day. She always seems to be having a wonderful
time.

Little Elms Beckenham has been a fantastic setting for my two-year-old. Staff, from the reception area to the children’s rooms, are all incredibly professional, show a dedication to the children and all seem to enjoy their jobs, which does make a difference. The facilities are great, lots of access
to equipment both indoors and outdoors. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Review from C R (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My children have recently moved to this nursery since having a bad experience at their past nursery. They fitted my children in with very short notice, settles were brilliant, even with Covid-19. Friendly staff - my eldest is in the pre-school room and my youngest in the baby room, both rooms have
amazing staff, and I'm extremely happy with their care. Handover sheets from the baby room are great. My eldest child has taken a liking to his keyworker like a duck to water, he speaks highly of her. The pre-school is perfect to get children ready for the transition to primary school.
Management is friendly and has great communication with us as parents. I wish I sent my children here from the start.

My daughter started nursery when she was one year old and staff at little elms Helped a lot with her adjustment period and they answer my call twice a day and gave me updates on my daughter. She has moved on to preschool this month and I am so happy with her transition, the care and support are fantastic
and I defiantly recommend this nursery.

Review from Issey C (Mother of Child) published on 16 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son joined the Doves1 room at Little Elms when he was just over 11 months old. We were both extremely nervous and emotional during drop-offs. The team were very patient and understanding and gave lots of reassurance when I telephoned from work to "check-in" (which was pretty much every day to begin
with)! I'm happy to say my son enjoys going there every weekday and since he's moved to Doves2 for the slightly older babies, his confidence has grown tremendously. He is eating well, speech developing quite rapidly and as I recently discovered, has 2 best friends in his room with whom he has lots of fun on most days. I'd recommend Little Elms to any parent/guardian contemplating nurseries in this area; particularly because of the lovely girls who are looking after the children. I'll use this opportunity to give a big shout out to the Doves team and say thank you for taking care of my son. I hope the management duly value the good work you are all doing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been attending this nursery since 14 months old, (in Bluebirds) and is now 21 months. The carers have been lovely, encouraging me to call them if I need to "check up" on her, which I have. I didn't need to worry as she settled quickly once I left. Also some positive feedback at pick
up and anything that is not, they have talked to us about it (nothing to do with level of care, just my daughter isn't used to other children/nursery environment and what we can do to help her). Now my daughter finds nursery fun, loves the food there (had seconds on a few occasions), and generally enjoys her time there. I love getting updates on the Learning book and seeing how she spends her time there, it's updated quite often so never had to chase it up. Lots of creative actives and messy play which is great, email updates received every so often which is also good. I highly recommend Little Elms, please consider this nursery, we were glad to put our daughter there

Review from Vratika J (Mother of Child) published on 28 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been sending my son to this nursery since he was six months old and never for a day I felt uncomfortable. I think I made the best decision and best choice for my child. Since day one he has been cared for and nurtured almost like I do for him. I can see growth in his emotional, mental and cognitive
development. His language is building up and so is his confidence. He doesn't ever act shy in front of any unfamiliar adult because of the exposure he gets in his nursery. All the staff members there are very considerate and compassionate. They keep me well informed about what goes on with my son during the day. I almost always receive him chirpy and happy in the evening which is a sign that my son feels comfortable there. he looks forward to attending his nursery in the morning. I cannot recommend them high enough. Thanks to all the staff for putting a mother at ease.

My son has attended Little Elms Beckenham from the age of 11 months to 4 years and has loved it. The staff are caring and the activities varied and he has had the opportunity to take part in external supervised trips as well.

I would highly recommend Little Elms. The staff are very caring and engaging. My son has learnt so much from the interaction given from staff for his development. He has attended since 9 months and is now in the last room preschool age 4. The management are good at communicating information and take
on feedback when raised good or bad and keep you updated. The garden space has recently been invested in and the children use the space regularly. Other activities are included in your costs such as Zumba, Tennis and French. Overall the staff make the nursery welcoming and accommodate the needs of the children. Thoroughly recommend.

Review from Martina B (Mother of Child) published on 16 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have visited most nurseries within the Forest Hill, Catford and Beckenham areas. I am a very critical parent having moved my child from a well-known nursery owing to safeguarding concerns.


My daughter has attended Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham for approximately 18 months and I am very

happy with the standard of care given and her learning and development thus far. I recently gave the nursery constructive criticism and all the staff in my daughter's room rectified the situation immediately and made changes the very same week. I would definitely recommend Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham as a good 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.
