What a beautiful welcoming nursery. As soon as my little one joined the baby room I knew he was in safe hands. The staff are very informative and always very happy. He is now in the toddler room and I couldn't be happier with his development. The nursery has three large outdoor areas for the little
ones to explore. I couldn't recommend enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
With my older boy, now in school, I worried about not spending enough time with him as he was in nursery 5 full days a week. He thrived and now knowing the benefits a good nursery can bring to a child, we didn’t give it a second thought with our 2nd.
Our baby just loves Little Elms, as do we. He settled
in really well and gets excited when he comes to the front door. He is so well looked after. A few times when tired at the end of the day, I found him being held by a carer on a rocking chair or snuggled up with them sitting on the floor. It is so comforting to know he is truly cared for when we’re at work.
The nursery have lots of outdoor space, but still, the carers take them on trips to the park or the supermarket very frequently.
They eat freshly made healthy food from a varied menu. Sometimes, as a picnic in the garden if the weather allows!
It’s a little highlight of my day to drop my boy off and collect him as I see how happy he is at Little Elms - can’t recommend it enough.

Review from H N (Father of Child) published on 19 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son started the nursery at seven months old and we were apprehensive starting him young but actually the staff in the Bluebirds have been amazing at reassuring us and making sure our little one is cared for. Putting our son in nursery was a great decision as I can see how much he has grown and even
compared to our friends' babies, who don’t go to nursery, there is a difference in his social skills. The nursery has three gardens which is perfect as this is something we looked for in a nursery, it’s important to us that our son has the opportunity to get fresh air and play outdoors.

I was apprehensive taking my 7-month-old to nursery at such a young age but the staff have done their utmost to provide all the care my young daughter needs. She only attends one day a week at present but whilst she's there she's thoroughly entertained and stimulated.

Review from Alaine W (Mother of Child) published on 9 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son is currently in 'Robin's Room' at Little Elms. I'm continually impressed by the standard of care he receives, as well as the professionalism, enthusiasm and communication of the nursery workers. He shares an excellent relationship with his keyworker, who is sensitive to his needs and provides
appropriate goals and activities to enhance his development. As a parent, I always receive a warm welcome and regular updates about my son's progress and feel reassured that he is being well cared for. Nursery facilities including outside space have recently undergone some improvements and new initiatives including online progress reports and monthly newsletters enable more effective communication with parents. I would highly recommend Little Elms to other parents and will be sending my daughter here next year.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My little girl really enjoys going to Little Elms in Lee and her baby brother is already on the waiting list. Throughout from her first days in the baby room, through to her joining the pre-school class, her respective key person always made an effort to connect with her and made her feel safe and well
looked after. I have recommended the nursery already to several friends and acquaintances.


Recently, people have left the entrance gate open, so I would have to say the safeguarding needs definite improvement.

I'd like to thank all members of staff who do such an important job looking after our children, providing a happy, safe and creative environment.
Every morning we are greeted by smiles and the bond my son has developed with his key worker is amazing. The staff work so hard and I really appreciate the
effort that goes into the everyday. You are all amazing - please carry on smiling and caring!

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.845)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.845) out of 10 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Lee is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 5 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 4.158 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Lee is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.158
  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 3.687 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Lee is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 134 number of registered child places is 26.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 26.8 = 0.187
  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.
