Review from P B (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We really can’t fault the nursery at all! Our son couldn’t be happier and the staff are so lovely with him. He settled in really quickly and I’m sure this was because of how caring everyone was when he first joined. Great menu choice every day and lots of fun activities. All the staff are warm and friendly
and keep in regular touch about our son with updates throughout the day on the app or direct messages if they need to - fab place for our baby to be! A few staff changes since he’s been there and a few periods of unsettledness but current management is excellent! Garden is probably my least favourite part of the nursery but at least there is some outdoor space and it has lots of fun toys for the kids to play with.

We absolutely love this nursery for our daughter. Management and the staff in our daughter's room are fantastic and incredibly friendly. They are really enthusiastic and keep us up to date with everything that is going on and how she's been during the day. I also love that they take the children on
little outings when they can. The only downside is that it would be nice for the outdoor space to be a bit bigger but to be honest the children don't seem to notice!

After a few bumps and misunderstandings, I have been very happy with the service provided since the new management team came into place. They’ve shown nothing but professionalism and they are also interacting a lot more with the parents, for my part. My little girl went from being upset every morning
to being the happiest she has ever been so there’s been a massive positive change and now I can’t recommend them enough!!

Since the manager has started I can see a change in my child he is always keen to learn and comes home with stuff I know he has learnt at nursery. The communication has improved and the staff are keen to tell me what he has been doing during the day. Fantastic team and and new manager. Thank you

Review from Kirsty A (Mother of Child) published on 30 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Really happy with the nursery. It’s got a lovely feel to it - the building is always kept well presented and regularly maintained and painted, which I really like to see - it’s never grubby. Toys and resources are plentiful, there’s a lovely garden area that is very well used, and the staff are generally
lovely - warm, caring and kind: it’s a home-to-home feel. Food is cooked on-site and it always gets eaten, which is more than I can say for my cooking! My son has been there since he was nine months old and I’ve been so pleased with how happy he has been - he’s my third baby so I’ve got a bit of experience with childcare settings, and I think fairly realistic expectations - this nursery exceeds those.

Review from Sue R (Mother of Child) published on 13 August 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have had 2 children attend Little Elms, my son from 11 months to his school start at 4.5 and my daughter from 11 months to today (nearly 2). The best part about the nursery are the caring staff who are always nurturing, helpful and interested in the kids. This (and safety) are the most important
things to me and Little Elms excels (especially in the Baby rooms - which is so important to parents thinking through where to start their little ones).
There have been a few blips in management communication as there is moderate turnover but they are very responsive to issues and I've always felt heard.
The food provision is varied and nutritious, my kids have no food sensitivities so I can't speak to that.
The outdoor space is limited compared to some other local nurseries at this site, it is the biggest drawback I think - but the classes share it well and the staff are creative in using the space.
I would (and have) recommend this nursery to prospective parents.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
After 4 years of our son being at this nursery, it is very sad to see it not be in his life any more. They have helped create a lovely, caring knowledgeable child who shows readiness for school from what they have helped teach him since being there. Staff are friendly and the place as a nice feel to
it. Would recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was really worried - to put it mildly - about putting my then 11 month old into nursery full time but the baby room staff couldn't have been any more warm and loving with him, so he settled well. All the babies are loved and respected, there is a lot of fun and the staff are very attentive to the
babies and happy to chat to parents about any tiny concern for as long as you like. Can"t recommend it enough.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.654)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.654) out of 10 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham Queens Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 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 15 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 4.654 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham Queens Road is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.654
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham Queens Road is based on 15 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
