My son has been here since he was 18 months. Been very happy with his care and have a close relationship with staff. We will be sad to leave in September when he goes to school.
Since my son started New Cross Community Nursery, he has been a happy boy. He made a lot of friends and he has improved in his learning journey in New Cross Community Nursery! The staff has been very helpful in making his stay in the nursery welcoming!
I love their menus, they are very balanced and she loves cooking more than ours at home.
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.
Most importantly, my son loves going to nursery!
This nursery comes highly recommended. They are very caring and attentive. Staff who put the needs of our children first and foremost. The environment is lovely and my daughter is always happy when going/coming from the nursery. I would recommend this nursery to everyone.
The staff are great and I feel very comfortable to leave my kid with the staff. My son is developing well at the nursery. Good menus of a different variety.
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.
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.
- 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.
My child is very happy there. The staff are great, the menus are varied and there are lots of activities.
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.
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.
I am happy with how things are going with the nursery. I find my child is happy to be here.
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.
