Fennies Bromley, Blyth Road

Like all mummy's returning to work after having a baby, I was very concerned about leaving my daughter at nursery at the tender age of only 10 months. However, our fears were completely allayed once we met the manager of the baby room during the settling-in period. As a mum herself she completely understood our worries and addressed everything we could have possibly needed to know. Fennies has been brilliant for our little girl, who loves attending and always partakes in fantastic creative activities while she is there. That is coupled with lots of play time, dancing, reading and singing. The babies also learn sign language and are encouraged to take part in activities that celebrate cultural moments like Black History Month. The menu is fantastic, especially for my daughter who follows a primarily plant-based diet. The variety and flavours of each meal is second to none, and all the options are healthy and nutritious. I am really happy with Fennies and their approach.

Our daughter started Fennies in Sept 21 and we have been incredibly taken aback by how excellent all the staff have been. Our daughter required some additional support when she started and this was identified immediately by the nursery manager and was dealt with to such a high standard. We will be forever grateful for the support provided through those first few weeks that now means our daughter is happy and thriving, which we know will continue for the whole time she is there. We have told friends and family about the resources and “above and beyond” attention provided for our daughter and all have never heard of a nursery providing this type of amazing service. Our daughter’s key worker is absolutely wonderful and is so kind and loving with our daughter and gives us all of the information and support we could want. This nursery really is a unique find and I am so grateful to them for all they are doing.

Absolutely superb nursery!

My son has started with Fennies since he was 6 months old in the Explorers room. He was really young and it was not easy for me as a first-time mum. When I first met the staff I felt welcomed and reassured. The staff responded to my fears and anxieties. In the baby room, the staff are passionate and always enthusiastic. The activities that they provide in the room have added to my now one-year-old’s development, and experience of learning and exploring. I can tell that they have helped him to grow up so well by providing great activities. The staff know my son’s interests, they observe him and create a really good partnership with us as parents. My son is always happy to go and play in the room. Fennies also provides extra services that my partner and I really enjoy like zoom class or fresh and healthy food to order. The staff are really flexible and easy to talk to. Every day when I leave my child at Fennies, I know he is going to spend a great day with the explorers and I go to work really reassured!

My wife and I wished to write to you and thank you for the great care and support you give our child. Since coming to Fennies Bromley she talks more, plays more and has learnt more skills. Staff at Fennie’s are reassuring, warm and friendly and take very seriously any concerns we may have, whilst her key worker takes time to devise personalised teaching plans for her. Seeing her emerging as a person with particular qualities is important to everyone at the school and reassures us she develops at her pace and ability, thank you

Living proof that not all heroes wear capes.

My little boy loves Fennies. The staff and management have fostered an environment where he absolutely thrives, becoming a confidant and happy little boy. The team provide a wide range of activities that he loves and make sure his favourite things are always accessible and adapt as his learning and interests progress. He has made some great friends there at a really early age. Little boy, mum and dad very happy.

I would highly recommend Fennies Bromley as a nursery for in the Bromley area.

We have been a part of this nursery family since my eldest started in the baby room in January 2016 at a year old and she loves to come back to pick up my youngest who has been there for two years now. We have always had a great interaction with the staff and the girls have always loved going to nursery and have had fantastic relationships with their key workers. Having been here a while we have seen how the nursery has become more innovative and how the curriculum has become more varied, more inclusive and engaging for the children. I love how my youngest just disappears off with barely a backward glance and when she comes home she is so excited to tell me about her day. It will be a very sad day when our youngest leaves and we have to say goodbye for the last time.

Excellent nursery. Very kind and considerate staff. Excellent communication of daily and long term issues. Excellent and clear development of my son. I have appreciated being involved at every stage. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fennies is a safe, fun and encouraging setting for our daughter. She has really developed over the last few months, particularly in her speech and confidence amongst her peers. We are so pleased that we chose Fennies as the nursery goes above and beyond to ensure our child is comfortable as well as ease the anxieties we had as first-time parents sending our child to the setting. Furthermore, the facilities and staff are first class; always a pleasure to see and speak to. They regularly keep you updated with your child’s progress and send pictures and videos to capture memorable moments. Our child has come on leaps and bounds, and her exposure to the offering provided by Fennies is most definitely a contributing factor that we are very pleased with.

My daughter has been at Fennies Bromley since she turned 1. From the day we first took a tour of the nursery (when she was 9 weeks old), we knew this was where we wanted her to go. From her very first day, all of the staff have been incredibly kind and nurturing, while making sure she hits developmental milestones. The relationships that the key workers have with their children is especially lovely. The progression in my daughter's confidence, language, motor skills and comprehension has been wonderful to see - almost every day she comes home with a new word or skill. The activities are fun and well-organised, and the facilities are great - my daughter can't get enough of the wonderful garden - and we really appreciate the updates and photos we get on the app. We love that Fennies celebrates multi-cultural holidays with the children, and teaches languages from a young age. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely nursery to other parents.

The staff are all lovely! Management is great, they know exactly what is going on with every child, remember every child’s name and what room they are in. I feel they really care about their job, the parents and the children in their care. After an awful experience with a previous nursery, Fennies Bromley has really made me feel confident and trusting. Thank you guys!

Our daughter attended Fennies before she went to school in 2017. When we had our son in 2020 and I started to plan my return to work, our natural thought was to return to Fennies and I’m so glad we did. Whilst some staffing has naturally changed the team are amazing and have welcomed my son with open arms. I don’t worry about anything when he is there and look forward to getting updates on his day and the food he has eaten (which is amazing thanks to the wonder that is the Chef). It’s a pleasure and a joy to deal with the nursery and I can’t thank them enough for their amazing care of my son.

My daughter has just settled into this nursery and naturally due to Covid and lockdowns she hadn't been away from my husband and I regularly. This made us apprehensive about her attending nursery. The Fennies staff did everything to make her transition a comfortable one. They were very accommodating and attentive to my daughter's needs in such a challenging time. My daughter loves the nursery and in a short period of time is starting to feel totally at home. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been going to Fennies nursery since she was a baby, the staff are fantastic and very caring. My daughter loves coming to nursery every day, she has made lots of friends and has built a good relationship with the staff.

I have been very happy with Fennies Bromley nursery. My son has been attending for almost 2 years and took no time at all to settle. The staff are always caring and share details about my son's day. They often approach me with information about his development and learning as well as future targets and transition information. Most of the staff seem to be nurturing and positive in their approach to navigating tricky moments. The only challenge has been quite a high staff turnover. Having said that, my son is keen to go in every day and returns happy, safe and growing and learning. He has adjusted to all of the changes and Fennies staff, from management to room workers, to any adult who is there, are supportive and welcoming. Fennies are always adding extra resources and offering extra services (eg home learning, fresh food pick up, early starts) to go the extra mile in supporting working families.

My daughter has been at Fennies Bromley since she was under a year old and is now nearly four. She loves it there and has made lots of friends. The staff have been incredibly helpful and supportive with both my daughter and I. There was a point when my daughter was very shy and the staff really went the extra mile to help her settle in and help her gain confidence. The activities are varied and the resources are excellent. The outdoor space is also excellent and big compared to other nurseries locally. I can happily say my daughter’s educational and emotional needs are without doubt met. The staff at Fennies Bromley go above and beyond. My daughter and I will be very sad to leave there when she starts school in September.

Since my son has joined Fennies I have noticed he has learnt so much and become so confident and extremely talkative! The staff are always so welcoming and friendly and have made nursery life throughout COVID normal with procedures put in place to protect us all. My son leaves nursery talking about things he has learnt and sometimes surprises me by telling me things I never knew he knew! Would definitely recommend it to other parents.

The staff and facilities at Fennies in Bromley are excellent. My son started in November of 2020 and considering it has been such a difficult time for all the team, they have been absolute stars. It has taken a while for my son to settle in but the time and effort taken by his teacher is much appreciated. She is a credit to her profession. The activities provided are excellent and the facilities also look top-notch. We have also started receiving updates on what is planned for the next week. Activities the children will be doing and how that will help them develop are sent to us on the Tapestry account as are photos of what my son has been up to the previous week. A lovely place to send your little one.
