About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My daughter attended this nursery from just before her first birthday until she was three and a half years old. She was well looked after throughout her time and built very close relationships with all the staff. The manager is absolutely lovely and I have never had any worries about leaving my daughter there. I have signed up for my other daughter to attend when I return to work.
My oldest started at Little Elms when it first opened and both my children have loved attending this nursery; it's been like their second home. The management and staff are fantastic and accommodating. They have been supportive of my son's special dietary needs. The cook is amazing! Both my...
My oldest started at Little Elms when it first opened and both my children have loved attending this nursery; it's been like their second home. The management and staff are fantastic and accommodating. They have been supportive of my son's special dietary needs. The cook is amazing! Both my children have thrived here, received excellent care and preparation for school. I would recommend this nursery to friends and family.

Her development both socially and academically is right on track and they have great extracurricular activities like Computer Club, French, Zumba and also field trips to Museums and the Seaside, which she greatly benefitted from.
The staff are great, they really care about the children and always seem calm and unfazed by any general chaos, inevitable in a room full of little ones. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Elms Catford.
I'm so glad that we chose Little Elms Daycare Catford for our daughter. She started in June and has gone from strength to strength in the last few months. She is a shy child who is wary of strangers but is becoming more confident by the week. Her language and social skills are both improved. The...
I'm so glad that we chose Little Elms Daycare Catford for our daughter. She started in June and has gone from strength to strength in the last few months. She is a shy child who is wary of strangers but is becoming more confident by the week. Her language and social skills are both improved. The staff are excellent and supportive to the child as well as the family. She looks forward to attending and I feel reassured that she is well looked after. There is a good range of activities and toys and they make good use of the outside space, encouraging outdoor play in all weathers. She often comes home clutching some artwork and telling me about what she got up to with her friends. They receive nutritious meals cooked on the premises.There is good communication from staff regarding what is happening generally in the nursery and what the children have been learning. The facilities are clean and well maintained. I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery.

Good bonds have been built with the careworker and our little one reaches to the careworker most of the time upon drop off and always seems happy upon pick up. On the odd occasion when there are tears, the staff know how to distract from me leaving and the tears normally stop within a minute. Our child appears to be eating and sleeping well whilst at nursery now so has relaxed into the daily routine, thanks to those looking after him. The team seem to spend a varying amount of time on different play and learning activities (including brief French singing classes) and we often receive fun pictures at the end of the day.
All staff are friendly and communicate well. There were a couple of tiny admin problems upon opening but all appears to be running smoothly now. The facilities are good and clean as all brand new. The weekly menus seem good and varied.
Currently happy.

My journey in early years education began when I was just 18. With an unwavering passion for childcare, I’ve diligently climbed the ranks, transitioning from a nursery assistant to a dedicated manager.
My approach revolves around putting the child at the centre of everything we do and fostering strong partnerships with parents. By embracing this child-centred philosophy and collaborative parent engagement, I aim to create a nurturing and positive learning environment for all children under my care.
