Review from C F (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our experience at Little Elms Greenwich has been exceptional. Our daughter has been attending for over a year now, and I am delighted to report on her progress. Initially, she exhibited some shyness and unease. However, the nurturing care and dedicated staff members, particularly in the Toddler's Room
(Robins' Room), played a pivotal role in her settling in. I was consistently informed of her development throughout her adjustment period and initial weeks.
Over time, she has developed a strong sense of self-confidence and self-esteem. Within the Toddler's Room, she has engaged in enjoyable activities that have fostered her learning in various areas, including colors, basic numbers, and more. The nursery staff members are exceptionally friendly and readily available to provide assistance when needed.
Currently, our daughter is enrolled in the Pre-School Room, where she eagerly attends nursery and expresses great enthusiasm for interacting with her peers and new teachers.

Our Our experience at Little Elms Greenwich has been exceptional. Our daughter has attended for over a year and has shown remarkable progress. Initially shy, she has gained confidence thanks to the nurturing staff in the Toddler's Room (Robins' Room). She has enjoyed learning activities covering colors
and basic numbers.
Now in the Pre-School Room, she eagerly interacts with her peers and has developed a strong understanding of the world. She participates in enriching outings to gather natural materials for craft activities. The nursery maintains high cleanliness standards and offers a diverse range of toys and nutritious food options, though I suggest reducing the frequency of soup served twice a week.
I wholeheartedly recommend Little Elms Greenwich. The feedback from teachers during parent-teacher meetings highlights her positive development, and the nursery hosts many family-friendly events that foster social interaction and bonding.

I have had the pleasure of sending my son to Little Elms Greenwich from a year old and it's a wonderful nursery. The staff are so warm and welcoming and make the children feel loved and completely at home. My son has flourished during his time here and he can't wait to get through the door in the mornings.
I feel really at ease every time I drop him off there.

I'm very happy with the Little Elms Greenwich nursery my daughter goes to! The staff were amazing during the settling-in phase, making sure we both felt at ease. They're always on top of things, with everyone aware of any schedule changes or requests. The team is incredibly friendly and attentive, creating
a welcoming atmosphere that my daughter loves. There's a perfect mix of independent play and group activities, plus lots of outdoor time. What I love most is how they tailor everything to each child's development. It's really become a second home for my daughter!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've been incredibly impressed with the experience our 3.5-year-old son has had at Little Elms Daycare Nursery Greenwich. He has become noticeably more confident, which has been such a joy to see.
One thing we love is the weekend activities they suggest for families. These have been a fantastic way
for us to bond while continuing his learning at home. He also gets hands on with baking pies and cakes, and it's so delightful to hear him list the ingredients of the recipes they've made together.
His fine motor skills, he has an excellent pen hold and creates beautiful paintings.
His language skills have also grown, he now speaks in full sentences and communicates his thoughts clearly.
As a naturally curious child, the science experiments they do with him are a perfect fit. They encourage his inquisitive nature and keep his interest in learning alive.
Overall, Little Elms has been a nurturing, engaging and inspiring place for our son and we're grateful for the positive impact it has had on his development.

The nursery is very attentive, with wonderful caregivers and dedicated key persons. My child is developing very well there, and the food they offer seems very tasty. I also appreciate the regular activities such as parents' evenings, egg hatching, ceramics classes, and more. I'm happy to bring my daughter
here, knowing she is happy and in a stimulating environment with plenty of messy play opportunities.

The nursery have helped her effectively when it comes to her potty training as well! Since the new manager has come in, the nursery has come leaps and bounds.

My son has the best time at Little Elms Greenwich. He is supported by all of the lovely, caring staff. He has had some physical challenges. The staff have gone over and above for him and with their support he is now a walker. Most days he does not want to leave the Robin class as he is enjoying himself
so much. They are extremely accommodating when I need to put him in for extra days. Overall a brilliant nursery.

She is now 2 years old and has progressed so well with her development. The staff in her current room are amazing, they make her feel so comfortable at nursery
and are so supportive with anything I try to work on with her, for example, potty training.

Excellent nursery! Have been so good with my son who has settled recently. They were so calm and comforting to him when he was upset and had lots of activities set up ready to play. The staff in Bluebells were very welcoming and attentive!
My daughter also attended here when she was a baby, so we knew
we were getting good care!
Would recommend this nursery to everyone!

Our son has been attending this nursery since January 2024. Firstly they were super accommodating to our need for one day per week to start with which was really helpful. The staff are fantastic, the welcome every morning is always bright, smiley, happy and welcoming. The room staff are always on hand
and provide excellent feedback at the end of every day.
The facilities are fantastic, our son always seems to learn something new every week, they have a small outdoor private garden and take the children on walks locally, the rooms are good sizes and well split and the play and learning options seem fantastic.

Our daughter started in Little Elms Greenwich in September 2023. The staff have supported our little girl since the start. She is very happy to attend nursery and it is obvious that she likes the staff and other children in her room. The daily updates they provide are very useful. The rooms are very
nice and have plenty of natural light. They also have a small garden that kids enjoy and also go out around the Greenwich area which is very nice. The food menu is very healthy and most of the food is made from scratch in their own kitchen and they have been able to accommodate dietary requirements. Communication with parents is very good and management always has very nice initiatives for the kids.

The staff at Little Elms Greenwich are lovely, always friendly, kind and our 2 toddlers love them. The management team is always helpful and attentive. We had one child with dietary issues and they accommodated for his needs, constantly checking with us on his progress and providing support and advice.
Our children have developed amazing skills, and we can see progress every day in their physical and cognitive skills. The garden is relatively small but the setting is great, with different activities for every child. I couldn't recommend it enough!

We are so happy we found Little Elms, our baby absolute loves it there. The staff members are lovely, the premises are always clean and have great selection of age appropriate toys available. The parents are kept on the loop on the app throughout the day which is very useful so we know what our baby
was doing, eating etc.

Little Elm nursery (Greenwich) is a great local community centred nursery, our baby loves it, she is having her time every day. She loved the vibe, and the staff are very nice to her. The great thing about Little Elm nursery is that it's really close to my place, I will recommend whoever is leaving
in the same community and is looking for a nursery for your little one.

Nursery is a critical step in a child's development however I moved my child away from this nursery for the following reasons:
1. Children left crying and not comforted.
2. Poor communication with management.
3. Behaviour issues of other children were not addressed.
4. Junior staff are overworked
and exhausted.
Overall, the environment was too busy and authoritative to provide the pastoral care my child deserved for the price charged.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.747)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.747) out of 10 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Greenwich is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.783 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Greenwich is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.783
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.964 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Greenwich is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 83 number of registered child places is 16.6. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.6 = 0.964
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
