Rated Good by Ofsted (April 2023), South Bermondsey Nursery & Pre-School provides childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.

Review from L G (Mother of Child) published on 11 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We are very happy with the nursery and the staff. Our children attend happily and when they come home they talk about their friends and teachers. The mud kitchen is a hit!
They usually have 2 closures a year for staff training. Our children attend full time so we are always affected. These closures
are inconvenient and we have to look for alternative childcare arrangements which cost us money.

Great environment and stimulation, our child is very happy at nursery and we love the community of staff, children and parents. Facilities are fab and staff are friendly and helpful. Communication between staff members could be better on occasion - sometimes we get different information from different
members of staff, and once our child wasn’t given a dose of medication we’d advised she needed. However, there is a lovely vibe overall and we are very happy our child attends this nursery!

My daughter is very happy at the nursery and goes into her room willingly in the morning. She loves the outside space and messy play.

Staff is friendly and helpful. They helped my daughter settle in very well. I particularly like how structured the days are for my daughter. My daughter has advanced cognitively very well since starting at the nursery. I am confident that my daughter is getting an excellent amount of stimulation.

Good nursery. My daughter is happy to go there and does not show resistance which is very reassuring. The education is good for now but I think they need to improve on potty training. Altogether I am satisfied with the service and the care.

My daughter has attended LEYF now for just over a year and is very settled and happy there. I receive a daily update as to what she did during the day, what she ate and how much and her general mood and behaviour.

My child really enjoys her time here. On collection, the staff can tell me exactly how her day went in regards to eating, napping, behaviour etc. The staff member on reception always welcomes children and parents with a smile and does her best to get to know the children and parents. We are now into
our 2nd year here and will stay until it's time to move on to reception.

My son enjoys attending the nursery each day. His skills are developing well. When my son started he did not like to sit and listen at story time. With encouragement from staff he will now sit down and listen. My son is very happy in the nursery environment.

Good nursery. The only downside is the high level of staff turnover and sometimes is luck of finding someone in the office.

I would recommend this nursery, as they've made my boy so happy. After settling in he always has a smile on his face whenever I pick him up. Photos of him were shown to me happily playing. Members of staff are amazing. Management always makes you feel welcome, and my relationship with the key worker
and child/parent is fantastic especially in the over threes room.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This being my first child, I had reservations in regards to him attending nursery. However from the day that we came for a look around our minds were put to rest, so much so we didn't look at any others.
My son has attended here since he turned 1. He is now 2, he has been able to continue to thrive
developmentally in every aspect.
My son enjoys his time at London Early Years Foundation, South Bermondsey so much so that we increased the amount of days he attends.
Although there have been many staff changes, the high level of care my son receives has been consistent throughout.

Our baby started just a few weeks ago at the age of 10 months, and so far both of us and the little one are extremely happy with the nursery. Airy room with plenty of natural light and easy access to the garden. Baby is really happy with the food and key persons are always available for cuddles or to
carry him around if he is grumpy or doesn’t really want to stay on the floor.

The nursery has been fantastic and the development of the child is beyond expectations.
My son loves going to school and never wants to leave in the afternoons. Some days my eldest child wants to stay as well.
The staff are very friendly and professional and will go the extra steps to help the child.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.163)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.163) out of 10 for South Bermondsey Nursery & Pre-School 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 9 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 4.794 for South Bermondsey Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.794
  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 4.369 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for South Bermondsey Nursery & Pre-School is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.469
  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.
