Review from Jessica F (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have had two children at Lollipops with my youngest due to leave for school in September and I can't recommend them enough. All of the staff genuinely care for and clearly got to know each of my children's quirks, interests and characters really well. They do so many creative activities but my children especially love the incredible garden and spend lots of time outside, including forest school. My eldest has a serious egg allergy and they were so professional and careful to ensure he never ate anything that contained egg, so I felt so reassured that he was safe. I am very grateful to everyone at Lollipops for caring for my sons so beautifully and giving them a great start before going to school.

Reply from Angela Eade, Manager at Lollipops
Thank you for such a lovely review,
Our team prides it's self on getting to know each child as an individual and forming strong relationships with all our families.

At Lollipops we take children's food allergies very seriously, offering healthy alternatives that are prepared separately to avoid...

Overall Experience

We're so pleased we chose Lollipops for our son. He's been there a year and a half now and the staff there are like a second family to him. During the first lockdown, the communication and online resources/activity ideas sent via email were brilliant. Our son can be fairly shy but they've really brought him out of his shell and given him so much confidence, he's come on leaps and bounds since returning. They make so much effort, really get to know the children, and genuinely care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lollipops, the staff all do such an amazing job!

Review from Bernard L (Father of Child) published on 9 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Both of our daughters love going to Lollipops. The eldest has been going for 3 years now and still really enjoys going, and is being stimulated by lots of work with numbers and letters. The staff turnover rate is very low which means the children really get to know the staff and vice versa. Our younger daughter is coming on really well too and is always extremely happy to see her key worker.

The best thing about the nursery is the staff, we know our girls are in safe hands and looked after by people in a positive environment, created by the manager.

Overall Experience
Our daughter is at Lollipops and we couldn’t be happier with the nursery. They’ve always made a massive effort with learning, fun and care. During this year, the nursery have gone above and beyond to keep the children safe, keep the children learning consistently and make it fun for the children.
They take a personal approach to learning and development - really helping my daughter focus on areas that need extra attention.

The staff are brilliant and you can see their joy and care looking after the children. They help out with everything they can.

Overall Experience
This nursery has been a blessing for our little family here at New Eltham. Lollipops is a family-owned place where they make your little ones feel part of the family. During all the difficult time through the lockdown and national restrictions, all of their staff have been very helpful, flexible and approachable when it comes to seeking advice and support. I strongly recommend them on the basis that my little one feels loved, accepted and seems to enjoy her lovely time there.
I do also want to highlight their meals menu is very healthy and it's meat-free. So your child will always eat healthy yummy food.
The location is convenient, staff are lovely and from all ages which is very important for your kids to learn to respect adults but at the same time enjoying playing with the younger members of staff.
If you want your little ones to grow up with love, high education program and funny adventures, Lollipops is the place to be.

All love from our family.

Review from Chantal R (Mother of Child) published on 29 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Having reviewed most nurseries in the area, Lollipops came out quite high on recommendations. I put my daughter in at 10 months, and in the first week she came on in leaps with her walking and eating, I was super impressed how much difference Lollipops had made in such a short amount of time. The staff are incredible and super informative of how my daughter has been during the day, if she has had a great day or if she is teething and needing a bit more of a cuddle. I think what I love the most about Lollipops is that they actually give the children their full attention and care. My daughter passes me her coat in the morning at 14 months to show me, she is ready to go to school, she does not cry at drop off or pick up because she is so at home and comfortable with the team. I highly recommend Lollipops and extremely happy that I made the right choice in sending her to such a wonderful environment.

Overall Experience

My nephew has been going here from 10-months, it took him a while to settle, but with the comfort and support from staff, he’s very happy! All staff members are very welcoming and have a positive approach towards everything, they’re not only there for the children but also parents/careers, they have a great setting with a great outdoor space, including a forest school! The feedback is brilliant. They’re always happy to go an extra mile if needed. It’s a truly lovely nursery!

Lollipops is a wonderful nursery and staff have always been very supportive to both our children’s growth but also to us as parents. During the COVID-19, Lollipops has continued its excellence providing support in whatever way it can and safely too. Our children have really developed in so many ways since coming to Lollipops! Thank you!

Overall Experience
Absolutely brilliant nursery, fantastic staff, I can’t recommend this nursery enough. My granddaughter loves going to Lollipops nursery. The nurturing she has had since starting 2-years ago has been outstanding
I am sad that my granddaughter will leave this month and move onto primary school, but I know that the staff at Lollipops have prepared her to go onto school a confident and happy child.

Thank you Lollipops, for the care you have given to her.

Review from Alex B (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
When we moved house we had to make a difficult transition with our two-year-old who was very settled at her old nursery. But the team at Lollipops were so supportive and really helped get her settled in at such a formative age. Once she found her feet, she now loves going to Lollipops and has formed great relationships with the team and other children over the past year. Because this is the second nursery we have used, we have experience of two very different settings. We love the feel of Lollipops and the facilities are amazing. Having so much space and different rooms for the children to rotate around is brilliant and the garden is such a great space, especially with the forest school too.
Our one-year-old is now also starting at Lollipops and we look forward to her enjoying it just as much as her big sister.

As parents, we feel comforted that our children are being well looked after. The manager and the team show true care and enthusiasm in what they do.

Review from Jessica (Mother of Child) published on 3 July 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started Lollipops at the beginning of the year and has settled in really well, so far she loves it there. All the staff are so friendly and kind, she has lots of fun there and always comes out with a big smile on her face. They are always doing fun activities inside and out and they encourage her to play and mix with other children. The staff at Lollipops have managed my daughters needs very well observing and picking up on the little things. At the end of the day when I pick her up someone will tell me what she’s been up to, all the fun she’s had and how well she has eaten that day. My daughter has also bonded really well with all of the nursery staff, these are just some of the many reasons why I support this nursery. We are so happy that she will be spending another year here before starting reception next year. I would recommend any parent to send their child here as it’s such a warm and wonderful environment for my child to be learning and playing.

Review from Julie T (Mother of Child) published on 26 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We were recommended Lollipops and have been so happy with them from the very start. Our daughter has been attending since baby unit and is now ready to leave for school this year. We feel our daughter has been looked after well from the start and we have been so impressed with the reports we get back on her progress. Our daughter's confidence has really grown and her fast development has impressed us. We think a lot of this is down to the hard work of the Lollipops staff. The children are taught to be self-sufficient from a young age and we like that Lollipops take the children on various trips outside the nursery.

The staff are always so helpful and willing, whether it be helping to make birthday cards, good luck cards or just general requests for cooking, its never too much for them. The experience of the high-level management has been invaluable for us on a few personal challenges.

Thank you to all at Lollipops.

Review from Sarah M (Mother of Child) published on 25 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We as parents feel so grateful to have found Lollipops, both our daughters attend the Nursery, one in the Baby Unit and one on the Nursery Floor. The whole team are consistent, professional and caring individuals with strong Management behind them. We have seen both of our children develop really well at the Nursery, knowing our girls really enjoy attending fills us with confidence that they are both happy in their childcare setting.

The staff encourage the children to get involved and to challenge themselves, which has seen our eldest daughter grow in confidence, she will be starting school in September and I feel that the Nursery Floor team are really helping her to prepare for this, developing her reading and writing skills, and we are very impressed with her progress.

The Nursery has great facilities, with a great outside space including a Forest School.

I would highly recommend this Nursery to anyone who is looking for a safe and caring childcare setting.

Overall Experience

We as parents always feel we want the best for our children and departing from them for someone else's care will always feel somewhat guilty for a mother. So we took our time trying to find a suitable nursery for our son.

After talking to a few mothers, we decided to go with Lollipops. My son really enjoys coming here. He has a bond with the staff, makes friends, learns a lot and brings home adorable work which we will treasure.

I feel Lollipops are professional, friendly and really care about their work and the children they look after. When my son attends, I am at ease, knowing he'll be in safe hands, having fun and learning lots at Lollipops.

Review from Jane H (Mother of Child) published on 17 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is an excellent environment for young children to develop socially and emotionally, as well as being a great foundation for academic learning. Staff are energetic, kind, attentive and proving very good at disciplining my typically testing 3 year old! Most importantly my child comes home happy each and every day with lots of stories of the various activities he has taken part in. In the summer months, there is a real focus on outdoor play and the garden is fantastic, the Forest School is an excellent asset too. Would definitely recommend!

Review from Sangeetha M (Mother of Child) published on 16 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Lollipop nursery was the second nursery we enrolled our daughter in after a bad experience (of her falling ill and being hospitalised) with an outstanding nursery. We were very sceptical and worried but Lollipop turned out to be the best decision we ever took for our daughter. The nursery delivers good quality childcare and their years of experience is shown in the physical and psychological development of children. They take special care of my child and ensure any parental concerns are addressed with a lot of professionalism. My daughter loves going to her nursery and speaks volume of her experience when home. I highly recommend Lollipop to new parents and vouch for them.

Overall Experience
Lollipops is an amazing nursery. Staff and management are extremely friendly, warm and professional. My daughter has been attending the nursery for the last year. She was difficult to settle in but she always has been given lots of attention and encouragement from the carers.
She only attends three days a week, but I can see how she blossomed under their care. Her language and vocabulary skills improved a lot. She is constantly singing songs that she learned at the nursery and telling me what books they read at story time.
Very low staff turnover and they really get to know your child well. I have always been given lots of updates at the end of the day and they are always ready to listen to your feedback/needs.

Thank you Lollipops.
