Review from Zee C (Stepfather of Child) published on 23 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff is very friendly and involved with the children. My girl loves it and I feel very happy to leave her in very caring hands. She always comes home tired and happy after a full day of playing and learning.

I love their menus, they are very balanced and she loves cooking more than ours at home.

Review from Okey (Father of Child) published on 23 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter attended the New Cross Community Nursery when she was a baby for 6 months before we left the country for work reasons. On our return to the UK at the start of the year, she rejoined the community nursery and has settled really well due to the warm and welcoming environment.
The nursery staff are very calm and patient in dealing with people, and our child's safety and development are the primary reasons we love the nursery. Their teaching methods allow for children to progress in a natural way.

The New Cross Community Nursery is highly recommended.

Review from Julia M (Mother of Child) published on 22 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My son has been at nursery for 5 months now and we are so happy with it. Staff are friendly and caring and seem to genuinely enjoy working with babies and toddlers. My son experiences a range of fun activities and I like that there is a balcony, sensory room and soft play room as well as the main room to keep things varied.

Most importantly, my son loves going to nursery!

Review from K A (Mother of Child) published on 21 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My child is happy going to nursery and often doesn't want to leave when we go to collect, which is perhaps the best indicator.
As with most nurseries, there is a relatively high staff turn over but there is a consistent core of staff who are really important in providing stability and bring a lot of enthusiasm to their roles.

There is a wide range of activities and a nice outdoor space.

Review from Sian B (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

LEYF New Cross Community Nursery is fantastic. Both my children attend the nursery full time and have thrived. My son has attended since he was 17 months; my daughter since she was 6 months.

I have been very happy with the level of care, nurturing, communication and support provided by the nursery staff to me and my children. There is an excellent range of toys, equipment and activities. The baby, toddler and pre-school rooms all have natural light and immediate access to outdoor play space. The food served by the on-site chef is varied and nutritious. All the staff are knowledgeable, friendly and motivated and are encouraged to undertake ongoing training.

The nursery has:
- two male members of staff: great role modelling and important for single mothers like me; and

- excellent standards of safeguarding: by chance I participated in a full emergency evacuation (due to a neighbouring gas leak) which was executed better than my office full of adults has ever managed in ten years.

Review from Anita S (Mother of Child) published on 11 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has bloomed at the New Cross Community Nursery since she joined at 10-months-old. She has developed in so many ways via her speech, problem-solving skills and her interaction with other children and adults. The nursery itself is a fun and bright environment and I think it provides the backdrop for more effective learning.

The staff are so approachable and you can tell they love what they do making me more relaxed as a full-time working mother. They are very professional and I am so happy I have found a warm and nurturing place for my child.

Review from Danielle H (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Lyfe New Cross is a lovely nursery. The manager is so welcoming every morning and all the parents feel special and she encourages communication between parents which is very comforting for a first time mum. The baby room in which my son is in is lovely and bright. His key worker is amazing and has built an amazing relationship with him. She reassures me as a mother that my baby will be well looked after and I can see his excitement to get to nursery grow every day. I always love the feedback that she gives me at the end of the day. It makes me feel like I haven't missed anything.

Review from Sinead M (Mother of Child) published on 17 February 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This is a great nursery, but what makes it stand out from the other nurseries in the area is the space. It is a large building, set back from the main road, surrounded by a big playground. The under twos are upstairs and the bigger kids are downstairs. The rooms are so spacious and full of natural light. The under twos have a balcony area, so have free access to the outdoors. There is also a separate room with cots, so the babies can nap whenever they want rather than having to fit into the nursery routine.

My son joined the nursery when he was 9 months and is now 15 months. He has developed so much over this period. Other great aspects about this nursery are the price, which I think is relatively cheap for the area; the fact that it is a charity, so all profits are reinvested; and the flexibility i.e. I can book my son in for extra days whenever I want.
