Overall Experience
Our 15 month old son loved little learners soooooo very much.
The staff are caring, professional and knowledgeable. So lovely to see the same faces every pick up and drop off.
Lovely outdoor space for the toddlers and fun activities.
Nice to get staff updates on the family app and know what food he has finished.

Extremely good value for money

Overall Experience

Im very happy with this Nursery all of the staff are really approachable and kind with the children and I feel like they really go above and beyond with the children my daughter is really shy and her key worker Holly is always making suggestions about ways to make her feel more confident to talk,. They do so much with the children because they share pictures on the app. I honestly wish that I found this nursery sooner. It really is a pleasure to be part of this nursery . Its also very homely too id say thats the key thing that drew me towards the nursery as well as all the recommendations that I received!

My daughter has been with LL South Croydon for 9 months now, and she adapted so well and so fast to the pace and environment, and I can only attribute this to the quality of staff and the care she's been receiving from them. Big thanks to Sara, Maureen, Samia, Santana, Lacie and all other key members who are making my daughter time there such a joy!

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Little Learners since 11 months old, now she's nearly 3 and we recently moved out of the area, so it was very sad for us to say goodbye! She made lots of friends and learnt so much. Her development was fantastic to see and the staff were amazing. She loved all the 'teachers' but would always come home talking about Sarah & Maureen when she was in the baby room and Pekahiah when she moved up to the 2's room.

Thank you for your kind words. It's been a pleasure to support your daughter through her early years. Wishing you all the best in your new home and for everything ahead.

Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Little Learners South Croydon. Our daughter has been attending for over a year and a half, and we have nothing but praise for the wonderful staff and excellent facilities. Now 2.5 years old, she absolutely loves going to nursery each day. She has built so many lovely relationships with both the staff and her fellow children. Her days are filled with engaging, creative activities and plenty of exercise, and the daily food menu is fantastic. Every time we drop her off, we feel completely confident that she's in caring and capable hands. We highly recommend this nursery to any family looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment.

Overall Experience

My daughter started at Little Learners in February of this year and she has settled in the best I could've hoped! I am a first time mum so I was really nervous and didn't know what to expect. But the staff are always super friendly at every pick up and drop off, and they always give me a detailed insight of her day. The online communication is also amazing, I'm sent lovely pictures of her playing or doing activities so I always get to see what she's been up to. My daughter has become so confident and so chatty since starting nursery so thank you, Little learners!

Reply from Ashleigh Bishop, Personal Assistant at Little Learners Day Nursery - South Croydon

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We're thrilled to hear how well your daughter has settled in and how much her confidence has grown. As a first time mum, we understand how important it is to feel reassured, and we're so glad our team and communication have helped make that transition easier. Thank you for your continued support.

Review from Charlotte S (Mother of Child) published on 7 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Little Learners is fantastic and I couldn't be happier that my daughter is here. She loves it, and runs in every morning because she can't wait for the activities and spending time with her friends. She had a little blip when moving from baby room to toddler room, but the staff were amazing, helping us through the transition. They created a little book for her to have at home that had pictures of her at nursery and pictures of staff. I was touched by that effort to create something that would help with that transition.

This is what's so special about this nursery. The staff really truly care about every child and go the extra mile!

The activities are so varied, the meals are full of variety, they create events parents can get involved with (Christmas carols, Easter bonnet parade, parent breakfasts etc). The kids have a lovely garden to play in - I'm pretty sure that's where my daughter wants to be all day long! I highly recommend.

My two daughters have both attended Little Learners Nursery and they both wish they could go back. They always enjoyed each day and always spoke highly of the staff there. I highly recommend this nursery as they really care for your child. I am expecting my third child soon and I will definitely be enrolling the baby at Little Learners Nursery South Croydon.

Overall Experience
Our daughter has been attending the nursery since October 2022 and has come on in leaps and bounds since attending!
We couldn't thank all the staff enough for their continued support and encouragement. She absolutely loves attending nursery, loves all her teachers and has made some lovely friends, the activities that are carried out are excellent, and I am so happy we chose for her to come to this nursery.
Communication between parents and teachers is brilliant, always kept up to date on her progress.
The garden area is what made our decision for this nursery and we love that it is used all year round.

Thank you again for helping her grow everyone.

Review from Sam H (Father of Child) published on 11 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are absolutely delighted with the experience we have had with Little Learners. Our daughter has been going for the last 4 months and started at 12 months old, and has always been happy to be dropped off which we think says it all! She has an excellent relationship with all the teachers - but a special mention to the ladies who it's clear have a special relationship with our daughter since the early days. We have been impressed with all the educational activities our daughter gets up to and it's clear that the team have a very creative streak when coming up with new ideas to keep things interesting! The outdoor play areas seem brilliant and well utilised which is especially important for us as we don't have a garden at home. The menu is varied and our daughter always eats and rests well while at Little Learners. It seems like a very happy nursery for all involved and we hope we can continue taking our daughter there for as long as we can!

Overall Experience

My son is my second child to attend Little Learners and I honestly couldn't recommend it highly enough. The staff are amazing with the children and I love how they all know all the children's names, even if they don't teach them on a day-to-day basis. The children always do so many exciting and varied activities, both inside and outside. My son even gets to learn French which I think is absolutely fantastic. It is a brilliant nursery in every way.

My child has been attending Little Learners Day Nursery - Croydon since September 2022 and he absolutely loves going.
He started from 11 months and has now turned 2 so has experienced the baby room and is now in the over 2's class.
On collection, they are always well-informed of how my child's day has gone, I always feel they know my child well. My child's development has come on leaps and bounds and I truly believe a big part of that is down to his nursery.

highly recommended.

Overall Experience

Very friendly staff who look out for him and care for him. Lots of activities and he seems well fed with a variety of cuisines. The environment seems loving and even at the age of 2 he has made friends and has learnt loads. We have enjoyed becoming friends with other parents which has been helped by the staff putting on parent and child social occasions. He has had several key workers who he has got on well with, with updates on the platforms.
