LEYF - New Cross Nursery & Pre-School

Our son has been at Leyf New Cross nursery since December 2016. From the baby room to pre-school, he has thrived. The manager and her team are doing an excellent job of caring for the children. The staff are warm, welcoming and nurturing. We could not have been happier. We will all miss you!

I am very pleased with New Cross nursery so far. Our son has settled in extremely well and has developed exponentially since starting nursery 2-months ago. The staff are all very friendly and professional, the food is excellent quality, and the activities are well thought out. I feel confident knowing that my son is happy and well cared for every day. We are very fortunate to have such an excellent nursery nearby. I would definitely recommend New Cross Nursery to other families in the area.

We have nothing but positive things to say about this nursery. They are super, caring and attentive. If there are any concerns or issues, they resolve it really quickly and with kindness. My two children love it, and we look forward to them looking after our third one when they arrive.

New Cross nursery and all its staff is a rare gem in which you can put all your trust in! Thank you all for being so amazing with our children!

Our daughter returned to nursery after lockdown, and we were expecting her to not manage very well. But we have been pleasantly surprised by how well she's taken back to it, and believe this has a huge amount to do with the brilliant staff there. Many of the staff have commented on how her confidence has grown and have taken on board information we've given about her development during lockdown, and are striving to work with her in these areas. On one occasion there was a tricky drop-off, but the manager made the effort to get in touch with me later in the day to let me know she was doing well. Our daughter is happy and comfortable at nursery, has lots of fun and likes the staff very much.

The nursery is such a loving and caring environment. Everyone in the team is very warm, they all know my daughter by name and she enjoys seeing them every morning we go in. They have adapted well to the new normal, given us all the details of what goes on along the day, and keeping us informed about her activities and routines. Seeing my child so happy and well looked after gives me the peace of mind and assurance that she could not be in better hands!

Our two daughters have been to New Cross Nursery. They have both loved their time there. From the baby room through to the pre-school it is a warm, caring, stimulating environment. The staff are wonderful. They have coped brilliantly with the difficult circumstances of COVID. We would thoroughly recommend the nursery to anyone.

New Cross is a very special nursery - my child only joined a couple of months ago and settled quicker than I could have hoped and is excited and loves going to nursery. The staff and management team are brilliant - they're caring and friendly and provide feedback each day on all the wonderful and fun activities (including lots of water play and outdoor activities) that my child gets up to as well as weekly written observations on my child's development. The management team are also very responsive and have been very good about incorporating and keeping parents updated on their COVID policies. The food seems great - the menu is very varied and healthy and I know they cater for any allergies or dietary requirements. The outside space is large compared to other nurseries and the baby room has good facilities - including a separate indoor soft playroom which I know they love exploring.

We love how focused the nursery is on play and development through play. The kids just seem to have so much fun with the committed and energetic staff team and their friends. Our child has been encouraged to become an independent, creative and kind little boy during his time at the nursery and has made such a lovely group of friends. Diverse in many ways, the nursery also seems to reflect the area in which we live. Highly recommended.

Good development plans for children and some stable team members. 7:30 start and 6:30 closure so great timing flexibility outdoor space large but concrete so accidents happen even with the best care possible.

My child is very happy and wants to go to nursery all the time, so I'm happy with the place too. They do new and interesting activities all the time and always listened when I had something to say!

As I say, I feel so incredibly lucky that we found such a great nursery and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about care for their little one.

Staff speak to parents daily on pick up about behaviour, eating, and activities.

My son is very happy at New Cross Nursery, he has days filled with fun and always comes home with a smile. All the staff are kind and friendly. It feels like we are part of a large family which warms my heart.

I’d recommend others for the New Cross Nursery!

Thanks

New Cross Nursery provides a team of passionate and almost impossibly adaptable staff who very capably accomplish the herculean feat of facilitating our small child's socialisation. Every day she comes home fascinated by something new or having learned some new word, phrase or concept. She is in tune with her emotions and learns how to deal with adversity in a supportive environment but also one which promotes independence. She was putting on her own coat before she was even two using a clever trick they taught her. Staff have gone out of their way to provide opportunities to speak and hear her mother's language as well which is extraordinarily helpful for a third country child to understand their identity better. Thank you New Cross Nursery team.

The feedback we get at the end of the day and the Friday 5 is full of enriching, fun and new activities that my daughter has explored. She is now so confident in social situations and the nursery and staff have a huge part to play in that.

Happy with the nursery.

We love our nursery so much! Without having grandparent's nearby, this is a massive part of our support network. Our little one loves her carer and is visibly excited about going to nursery. I couldn't continue my work without this amazing service and I am safe in the knowledge that our daughter is not only safe but is also learning so much. Love that they go to the market to buy their own veg. Keep up the great work!

My son looks so happy and is having the best time, he loves the teachers very much! I’m very happy with my son learning English and making friends as he didn’t speak at all because he has not been in the UK long.
