Review from Gareth D (Father of Child) published on 5 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been with the team from infancy to nearly four years old. She absolutely loves going, and regularly talks about the friends she has made and the teachers who have looked after her so well. The online app updates make me smile no matter how busy work gets. We get stories, photos and updates most days. Our daughter has a number of allergies that require close attention, the team are very attentive in keeping her safe and healthy. We totally trust the team at Little Cherubs and feel completely confident in them giving her the best learning experience. Thank you for everything you do.

Reply from Nathalie Zafirkovska, Nursery Manager at Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool Sydenham

Review from Emma G (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Little Cherubs since she was 13 months old. She started in the baby room and after 3 months, moved up to the toddler room. The staff in both rooms have been brilliant in quickly settling her in and making me feel comfortable leaving her - they show genuine care and affection towards her and seem to get a lot of enjoyment out of looking after her, which is so important to me. In turn, Stella loves the various activities (particularly the music/dancing and arty ones) and has made so much progress in a small amount of time. She eats very well there and I get lots of information about how her day has been. The nursery is very well run and management has been flexible and helpful in allowing me to book additional sessions where available and, recently, to permanently change Stella's nursery days. I consider the fees to be good value for money and am very happy with my choice of nursery - I would highly recommend Little Cherubs.

Review from Yuliet R (Mother of Child) published on 1 August 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started at Little Cherubs Nursery at the age of two in the little learners room, very shy at first and crying a lot, however, I always left her very reassured that she was well taken care of and her key person always went beyond her means to make sure she was happy and relaxed, to the point of not wanting to leave in the afternoon!
She has just finished her pre-school now and is very sad to have to leave her nursery, her friends and most of all her teachers, who were always amazing with her and who she mentions every day! They are all fantastic and made her nursery time an unforgettable one.

The place is very clean, well run, always friendly faces, and very flexible with parents' needs, I recommend this nursery without a doubt.

Review from Johanna O (Mother of Child) published on 10 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with Little Cherubs in Sydenham. The staff are wonderful and take great care of our daughter, being very warm and caring. The nursery has lots of space for the children to play, both inside and outside. The days are filled with activities and our daughter loves going to nursery, so much so that she sometimes wants to go on the weekends too! The food they provide for the children is very good, our daughter has several allergies which are always catered for and we never feel any concerns when leaving her at nursery knowing she is completely safe. Management are easy to get a hold of and the staff are very responsive to any questions or queries you might have. Highly recommended!

Review from Sydni S (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My two daughters attend Little Cherubs nursery, my eldest daughter has been attending the nursery for 2 years now and started when she was 2. Staff assisted my eldest with her potty training and writing her name. My youngest daughter started at the age of 4 months. I am extremely happy with my choice of nursery as the staff are so lovely, if there are any problems in the mornings during drop-offs the staff are very helpful and reassuring. I was quite anxious in my youngest daughter starting at such a young age, however, she settled in quickly and has created wonderful bonds with staff, especially her key worker. Both of my daughters are happy to attend nursery and look forward to going every morning.

My only criticism; staff and managers need to pay more attention to detail at times regarding dietary requirements.

Review from Dagmar K (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son enjoys every day at Little Cherubs and never wants to leave in the evening. He has been there for more than 2.5 years and has gone through all rooms. Everybody looks after him well and the carers and management are extremely passionate about children and their development. Every week, I am amazed that they come up with new ideas, themes and activities. Of course, children learn a lot because they have individual targets and activities. It's nice to be able to read regular reports and what the children are up to in the parents' mobile app. There is also a great focus on languages (Mandarin and French) and sports.

Overall Experience
Our daughter started at Little Cherubs in January at 12 months and although took quite a while to settle, we have been really pleased with the nursery. The staff are, without exception, lovely and welcoming and really persisted with making her feel at home. Real unsung heroes at times!

She seems to be developing good relationships with the team and especially with her key worker. We enjoy the updates on EyLog and would welcome more. She loves being outside and I am sure would enjoy more time in the garden weather permitting. On the whole, really pleased with our choice and would recommend.

Review from Stephanie C (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I couldn’t ask for a single thing more from Little Cherubs. My eldest son has been there for 3 years and my youngest, almost two and they are both thriving in all aspects of their development. The nursery staff are celebratory and encouraging, using praise and rewards systems to highlight success and as a result, the boys are confident, able to take risks, articulate and most of all, happy. I am constantly astounded at the skills they’ve developed and how well they’re doing in their academic learning. My eldest son can write his name and he’s not even 4! And the youngest potty trained just after turning 2 with the help and support of the incredible staff members at Little Cherubs. I feel so fortunate to have found this nursery for my children and given them to work with adults who care for them and want them to thrive. I’m genuinely sad that our youngest won’t be able to continue attending when we move house this year. Thank you to all the staff at Little Cherubs, you are just fantastic.

Overall Experience

Our Son loves to go to Little Cherubs. He built a great relationship with the carers in his but also the other rooms. We feel very reassured leaving him there to be looked after knowing that he is comfortable and stimulated with activities. We have really seen a change (positive one!) in him since he started and our new nursery will have big shoes to fill (we are moving away). Management is great, they are aware of everything happening in the nursery and know all the children. They have always been approachable and helpful. Thank you and we'll miss you.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended Little Cherubs Nursery Sydenham for just over a year now. She started when she was 8 months old and I was terrified of leaving her. The Baby room staff were so understanding and always filled me in on all the things she did during the day. She is currently in the Toddler Room which she adores. She is only 22 months old but her speech and development just shocks me every day. She says all the staff names every morning and evening on our bus journeys. I honestly couldn't be more confident with leaving her in their hands. I can't thank them enough for all that they have done and are doing with my baby girl.

Overall Experience
Very good nursery, both my children have attended here and my youngest, who started off in the baby room is now leaving to start primary school. It has been a wonderful 3+ years for him and he has loved it. All the staff are very polite and friendly, never had a single problem. The staff have prepared my son for school as he can write and spell his own name without any help and is starting to recognise letters and words.

Very pleased with Little Cherubs and would definitely recommend it, this is a nursery I really trust.

Overall Experience
My son has recently started the nursery and I could not be happier as I was waiting on the waiting list since I have heard about its good reputation. Delighted with the very welcoming and caring staff team, they are also currently building an extension so there will be space for my other child in September.

The helped my son settle in very well and I get excellent feedback at the end of each day, they recently hatched ducklings at the nursery which my son really enjoyed and wont stop talking about! They do lots of activities such as french, music and sports lessons and outings, we are going to the farm next week! Well done little cherubs, keep up the good work!

Christopher Hayden - Gardner Job Title: Nursery Manager
Christopher Hayden - Gardner
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
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.

WHAT I HOPE TO ACHIEVE AT LITTLE CHERUBS
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.

WHY WE CHOSE CHRISTOPHER FOR THIS ROLE
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.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

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.

I love messy play activities with children as well as singing and action songs.

The highlight of my career in Childcare was receiving my Level 2 & 3 qualifications and also training for the SENCO Role.
