There are always lots of fun and engaging activities, and both of our boys have learnt so much since attending. The routine is fantastic and has really helped them thrive. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.
We are so proud of our team and the caring, nurturing environment they create every day, so your kind words about the staff truly mean a lot. We love building those...
Our child has been attending the nursery for the past 8 months and loves it here. She gets to enjoy a variety of different activities each day and the staff are always so warm and welcoming. We have watched her grow in confidence over time, learning lots of new words and skills. It is comforting to know that she is being so well taken care of while we are at work. We would definitely recommend to other parents living in the nearby area.
My son has started nursery school in January, and after only few days I could see how he was enjoying his time at school. It is such a relief to see how caring is the team, and how he feels safe and confident with all of them. We couldn't hope for a better nursery!
Amazing staff, really caring about our children, putting so much effort in their welfare but also their wellbeing. Our children always come back happy from Little Cherubs and learn so much so quickly, comforting to leave our children in the care of such a lovely, friendly, attentive and professional team!
Wonderful nursery for both my kids - the staff care SO much, and the kids absolutely love it. They've got a great attitude and large variety of activities to keep the kids entertained all day. Would recommend it to anyone!
I am very happy with my child's experience at Little Cherubs Nursery. The staff always come across as friendly and engaged, and to work well together as a team. They always seem to put on an interesting slate of different activities for the kids and provide good feedback, both through the app and through regular parent's evenings. My child always seems happy to be dropped off in the morning, and had a smile on their face at the end of the day, which I take as a good sign.
Our staff work very hard to create a warm, engaging, and supportive environment for...
Our son has been attending Little Cherubs since early 2022 and we have recently enrolled our daughter to start in September 2026.
We have always had complete confidence in the staff and believe that our son has grown in ways that he wouldn't have done had he been elsewhere. He loves going, which is testament to the environment they create for him. We have never had any issues but feel that we would be able to express any concerns openly if needed. Staff were also really flexible and supportive of our wishes when it came to things like potty training, for example.
We really value the learning activities and the celebration of different cultures. Our son has developed skills in numbers and letters, which has set him up really well for school.
We would recommend Little Cherubs to anyone.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for trusting Little Cherubs with both your son and now your daughter. It's incredibly rewarding to hear how happy your son is and how much he's grown during his time with us. We're especially pleased that you've felt supported by our team and...
We've had such a positive experience with Little Cherubs nursery. Our son settled really well into the baby room, and we always looked forward to hearing what he'd been up to each day. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive, always making sure his individual needs are met, and he's built such lovely relationships with them.
There are so many fun activities and experiences for the children, and it's been wonderful to see how much he enjoys his time there. Since moving up to Tiny Tots, he has absolutely thrived - we've noticed a real jump in his skills, language, and confidence.
He loves the food, time in the garden, and all the new experiences he's having. The best part of our day is picking him up and seeing him come out smiling every time. We couldn't be happier with the care he receives.
We're absolutely delighted to hear how well your son has settled in and how much he's enjoying his time at Little Cherubs. It's been such a pleasure to watch him grow from the baby room into Tiny Tots, and...
Our daughter has been attending Little Cherubs Sydenham since she was 11 months old in the baby room. She absolutely loves attending and is now in Little Learners. She runs in each day, the staff are like family. The other children are lovely and she genuinely looks forward to going. They settle them well with their transitions to new rooms. Lots of varied activities and external people come in for certain specialist activities like Hartbeeps weekly and yoga etc. Very happy - it's a great nursery and management are supportive and communicate well.
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.
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.
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....
Thank you for always being kind to my son.
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.
Thank you for your kind words, this means a lot to all of the team. We are so glad that you have chosen Little Cherubs for your child.
The staff are so lovely and kind and the kids always come out happy and chatting about their day.
Couldn't recommend more.
Thank you for your kind words, this means a lot to all of the team. We are so glad that you have chosen Little Cherubs for your child.
An extremely amazing environment. The staff are very attentive and warm. My daughter has been attending since she was 8 months and enjoys attending everyday. Highly recommended to all parents/ carers.
Thank you for your kind words, this means a lot to all of the team. We are so glad that you have chosen Little Cherubs for your child.
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.
Thank you for your kind words, this means a lot to all of the team. We are so glad that you have chosen Little Cherubs for your child.
The staff prepare lots of stimulating activities throughout the day and the nursery invests in having external providers deliver a range of sessions.
My child is happy here and loves coming to nursery. I am an extremely happy parent.
Thank you for your kind words, this means a lot to all of the team. We are so glad that you have chosen Little Cherubs for your child.
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!
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!
Thank you for your kind words, this means a lot to all of the team. We are so glad that you have chosen Little Cherubs for your child.
Our son has been attending Little Cherubs since he was a baby (he's now about to move up to the preschool room) and we're very happy to have chosen this nursery for him. The staff are caring and helpful, they get to know the children well and support them in their development as they progress through the different age groups. Our son is clearly happy and engaged at nursery and he loves the weekly Yoga, Mandarin and Spanish classes.
Thank you for your kind words, this means a lot to all of the team. We are so glad that you have chosen Little Cherubs for your child.

Meet the Team (2)
I have been working with Early Years for 8 years now and am continually growing, which for me has been a privilege and inspiring experience. When I began my career in the childcare industry, my goal was and has always been to provide a safe, warm, nurturing, and fun environment for children to be themselves and grow.
I’ve learned so much over the years which has also allowed me to be where I am currently on my own learning journey from a Nursery Assistant to Nursery Manager. I have never lost track of the fundamentals that allow children to have fun and learn.
I am a fun, caring, reliable individual who always goes above the call of duty to ensure that everyone around me is happy. My passion stems from living in the moment and enjoying life to the full.
As the Manager at Little Cherubs, I am determined to ensure that an outstanding standard of care that Little Cherubs currently provides to the children is upheld by all members staff on a daily basis.
I aim to further enhance and allow both children and staff to flourish on their own individual learning journeys.
My main aim is to ensure a fun, nurturing environment for everyone that attends Little Cherubs.
Christopher is a forward thinker that presents a very child centred approach to learning. He radiates both calmness and positivity. We feel he will be a great leader for our staff team.
We feel his upbeat energy will boost team morale & he will reflect as a great role model filtering down to the Sydenham team.
I have worked in Childcare for over 13 years. I have worked with all age groups and since starting my career, worked up from Nursery assistant, senior Nursery nurse to Third in charge role . After working in one setting for over 13 years, I decided it was time for a change & joined Little Cherubs back in November 2020.
The highlight of my career in Childcare was receiving my Level 2 & 3 qualifications and also training for the SENCO Role.
