About Little Cherubs Day Nursery Shortlands...
They are a small, family-run nursery that continually keeps the welfare and care of children at the heart of everything they do.
In January 2000, Little Cherubs opened its first nursery in Sydenham, the subsequent growth and success of the nursery led them to expand Little Cherubs; finding suitable premises in the Shortlands area of Bromley.
Both nurseries are run by a dedicated Management and Staff Team; some of whom have been with the company since it opened.
They are always committed to finding the best possible staff to provide parents ‘peace of mind’, knowing that their child is being continually cared for in a safe, healthy and loving environment.
The environment
The nursery environment focuses on encouraging children’s growing independence and making their own choices, to support their learning. One of the main principles at Little Cherubs is that 'Active Learning' and ‘Learning through Play’ is vital to the development of children’s potential.
All staff know the importance of a positive play environment for children, so they may develop good social skills and an appreciation of all aspects of the country's multi-cultural society. The planning of learning experiences is further designed to ensure, as far as practical, equality of opportunity between all children and that it celebrates diversity.
Activities are promoted using a balance of child-initiated adult-led and opportunities both indoors and outdoors.
Children’s own work and creations are valued through discussions, displays and recognition.
Staff inform parents/carers each day via the EyLog app about the activities their children have taken part in, with photos, videos so that parents are able to share these experiences with their child.

Little Cherubs is the best nursery we have attended. My daughter has been there for just over a year now and I can't thank the team enough. The manager, deputy manager, my daughter's key workers and all the staff. They have been so supportive and so helpful. They deal with issues that happen during the day and just get on with it, they don't call parents at every inconvenience, only when absolutely necessary. Our daughter looks forward to going to nursery every day and we feel totally at peace when we drop her off. There is a wide variety of resources to support children's learning and the staff give detailed feedback on your child every day, including sharing with the parent any particular activity or toys your child enjoys playing with. It's a private nursery running a business but at the same time, very caring and understanding. I would choose Little Cherubs nursery over and over again.
Thank you very much for this review. We greatly appropriate this positive feedback. Our nursery and team work extremely hard in supporting all children and their families. The biggest reward for us is seeing children develop and grow in confidence with good self-esteem in preparing them for the next stage in their development.
My eldest son will shortly leave Little Cherubs to start primary school having been at the nursery shortly after turning one. I have nothing but excellent things to say about the Shortlands team.

My eldest son will shortly leave Little Cherubs to start primary school having been at the nursery shortly after turning one. I have nothing but excellent things to say about the Shortlands team. The staff are fantastic and we view them as extended members of our family. There are always plenty of age-appropriate activities across the baby, toddler and pre-school rooms and it has been an absolute pleasure to watch my son grow and develop in confidence, thanks to the fantastic support of this wonderful team. I would highly recommend Little Cherubs Shortlands to any parents/carers.
Thank you, Susan, for this review. It has been our pleasure to care for your eldest son. He has a lively and engaging character whom will be missed greatly.
Staff are all very nice and genuinely seem to enjoy working there. They engage with the children well.

Staff are all very nice and genuinely seem to enjoy working there. They engage with the children well.
It’s also a lovely environment with lots of activities for the children both inside and outside, sports for tots and French have been big favourites with my daughter.
We will be sad to leave at the end of August to start reception.
Thank you for completing this review. It's nice to hear that parents value the staff we have. Best wishes to your daughter as she starts the next chapter in her learning.

My little girl has been at Little Cherubs since she was six months old and is now starting school in a couple of weeks. She has always been very happy here as the staff in all three rooms (baby, toddler and pre-school) room are so warm and welcoming - it is like a family. The things she has learnt at Little Cherubs, especially in the last 18 months (writing many words unaided, simple maths, reading and general other subjects about how the world works in general) means she is more than prepared as she takes her next steps into big school. I cannot speak highly enough of the place and I am sure she will be very sad to leave everyone in a couple of weeks.
It has been a pleasure to care for your little girl over the past few years and we are pleased to hear that she is moving forward with confidence in herself. Best wishes for the next chapter in her education.
Excellent nursery, my 2 children attend and are very happy there. All the staff and managers are very good. The learning is of a very high standard and all the activities provided are fantastic. My older son had French lessons, took part in sports and music activities. In the preschool room, he was...
I would thoroughly recommend using Little Cherubs.
Thank you so much for completing a review of the nursery. It has been a pleasure seeing your little girl's confidence grow and I feel sure that she will transition well into primary school. Good luck for the future.

This is an outstanding nursery and I would always recommend it to people. The staff are all fantastic and have great relationships with the children. They do various activities with the children including lots of crafts, music, reading and writing! My daughter is leaving there a confident writer and a basic reader, could not ask for more before starting school!!!
Thank you so much for such a glowing review. We would like to wish your child all the best as he starts his next chapter of learning.
Great friendly trusting staff. My son has learnt a lot for a 2-year-old and I very happy to attend every day and never wants to leave. They cover a wide range of topic and activities every day is different. I would highly recommend.

Thank you, Dominique, it is lovely to see the progression children make in nursery especially in their social skills.

My two children went to Little Cherubs until December 2017 when we moved house. My daughter was 8 months when she started and just before she left she celebrated her 4th birthday. My son started when he was 11 months old and was at the nursery for six months. They always enjoyed going and there and had lots of fun with the activities organised. My daughter has made her first 'best friends' at Little Cherubs. The staff genuinely care about the children. My youngest is missing the cuddles!
Thank you, Evi for the review of our nursery. It has been our pleasure to care for your two children over the past few years and we hope you are all settling well into your new surroundings.
Little Cherubs, Shortlands is a very well run nursery. The staff are lovely and know the children very well. My daughter progressed very well developmentally and has been very happy at Little Cherubs. I would definitely recommend!

Thank you Karen for you lovely comments. It has been a pleasure seeing your daughter develop into a confident young lady.
Excellent staff and friendly environment. My son loved it and all his friends. All children have their own key worker and they will provide feedback on your children's activities and their growing progress. I would definitely recommend this nursery to my friends or anyone.

I would certainly recommend the nursery and am very pleased that we choose this one. He is starting school in September and I feel that the nursery played a key role for him being ready for school and feeling positive about it.
We will certainly miss the nursery.
Thank you Sabina for you kind comments.

My daughter started Little Cherubs, Shortlands in Sept 2012 when she was just 6 months old. From the moment I set foot in the nursery, I knew she would flourish. My daughter left at the age of 4 to go off to reception as a confident, polite and happy young lady. This is hugely down to the staff at Little Cherubs, their care for the children is outstanding and the activities organised each day they set my daughter and then my son who started 2 years later. It truly is a fantastic nursery and one I know my children have very happy memories from.
My daughter had an excellent experience with Little Cherubs. In both the toddler and baby room she was well cared for, understood and developed. The staff were always incredibly kind and caring. The management team were also efficient and caring, adding to our confidence in the nursery. We are...

Both of my daughters attended 'Little Cherubs Day Nursery Shortlands' from the age of 8 months to 4 years. During this time, our girls progressed into confident children with an excellent foundation to start their school. 'Little Cherubs Day Nursery Shortlands' provides a happy, safe and stimulating environment and the children were eager to go in each morning. The staff have been brilliant and the low turnover of employees illustrate the fantastic working conditions and provide stability for parents and children alike. I have no hesitation in recommending the nursery and I am so pleased I found it.
Thank you Jo for your lovely review of our nursery. You have 2 lovely young ladies whom it has been a pleasure to have played a part in their development. All the best for the future.

I have worked in the childcare industry for 23 years, having started my career at a preschool nursery as an assistant. I joined Little Cherubs back in 2000 at the Sydenham nursery and during my time there achieved my Level 3 qualification in childcare. Over the past 20 years I have steadily worked my way up to Manager at the Shortlands nursery since 2004 and now am the Area manager of both nurseries.
I love developing the children’s understanding of their world by using role-playing scenarios such as: re-enacting tea parties for the Royal wedding, taking singing sessions and cooking activities and making an inclusive environment in which all children are able to participate.
My career highlight has to be attaining the Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ firstly at Shortlands in 2017 & then followed by Sydenham in 2018. The delivery of childcare has changed so much in the last 21 years and I believe that Little Cherubs has a good balance between providing first-class‘ family care’ and quality learning opportunities for children in order to develop the skills necessary to move on to the next phase of their learning.
