Next Generation Day Nursery (Barnehurst) Ltd

After leaving my older children at a different nursery and being unsatisfied to the point I had to remove them, I was worried and sceptical about leaving my baby too. On arrival, I apologised to the girls for my worrying and many questions to come. Well, I have no idea what I ever worried for. The girls really put my mind at rest and made me feel comfortable to be able to leave my baby. He is always happy and excited to go. I literally could not fault the care he receives! Every member of the staff cares for him and treats him as they would their own. Well done girls and thank you for being so fantastic with my boy and restoring my faith in childcare practitioners.

I would recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone.

I have nothing but praise for the staff. All so friendly and really put my mind at ease when my daughter started. My daughter loves it here. They do so much with the children and I am constantly getting updates on her progress. The staff even take time from their weekend to organise activities for the children so the parents can also get involved! I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone with children!

Well staffed = good ratio per student

They do not have pram shed or shelter at the moment but they said they intend to build one.

Very happy with the nursery, always communicate well with me and let me know how she has been throughout the day.

Amazing nursery, polite staff, open doors on time, care for the children properly, welcoming when you arrive to drop off and pick up, helps you budget payments, takes the children outside at least once a day, thorough details on how your child is, sends photos and information throughout the day via the family app and they reassure parents their child is okay if they were left unsettled.

Whenever I call and ask how my son is, it is never too much trouble and most of all they are honest. They have been honest if he is having a bad day, and although that’s hard to hear, it’s so comforting to know that I will always get told the truth. The app is a godsend, nice to just check in and see what he’s been doing and the photos are also an amazing touch. The nursery is ALWAYS clean, never seen it dirty. Children always seem happy and comforted by staff quickly if they seem sad. I can’t put into words how glad I am this nursery had space for my son. The others I viewed were not a patch on this nursery and staff. I’m so grateful for all the staff.

Wouldn’t go to another nursery.

I have also been impressed with the level of support and consideration given to parents, particularly during the settling period.

My son recently started going to this nursery and he settled so quickly. He loves going there and I am more than happy that he enjoys his time there. Ladies who work there are amazing, they are always so nice with my boy. Highly Recommend!

This nursery is absolutely 100% the best you will ever get in this area, my son is now at the reception at school. He attended this nursery from the age of three years old and he developed and learnt so much here. He was loved and cared for like you wouldn’t believe. I was always happy to leave him with such a fresh vibrant team of people, of all different ages which I think is so important. My son learnt how to have empathy and to care for others and most importantly, how to be a good kind little person, which as a mum, I feel is vital. This nursery helped and has given me as a mum, direction and support at all times, especially just before leaving to go to school, which made his move so smoothly and I had a happy child starting school. They are amazing, love them, couldn’t have done this without this fantastic team of people.

My child transitioned from the owner's successful nursery in Sidcup. The potential for disruption was minimal due to the diligence of the team. The standard of food is superb also with a chef that focuses on wholesome favourites such as fish pie. Highly recommend from babies to toddlers to preschool. You won’t be disappointed.

Previously, he had been at another nursery before it closed when the college, who loaned out the space, needed it back. Having visited a number of other potential replacement nurseries in the Sidcup area, it was clear to me that I wanted my son to continue with the care he'd been receiving since he was 8 months old. Although Next Generation is a bit further away, as soon as I had decided that my son would go there, it felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. The staff are amazing and they have really taken the time to get to know my son and have fostered a strong bond with him. I've watched my son develop from a baby into a confident, independent little boy since he has been with the staff at Next Generations and I'm excited to see how he continues to develop. I am so pleased that he is still able to come here and I look forward to seeing his achievements when he enters the pre-school room next year.

Thank you Next Generation.

My son has been with the nursery for 3 years since it was based at Sidcup. The nursery moved to new premises in Barnehurst earlier in the year and my son transferred to the new setting with the existing staff from the nursery in Sidcup.

The staff and management at the nursery are fantastic and are an excellent team. They are very committed and caring.

Next Generation Day Nursery has been a fabulous nursery for my son and has supported his educational, social and physical development. The nursery has been renovated and has been done to an exceptionally high standard. All the facilities are new and it is a fantastic setting. The outside area is great with lots to do and explore through play.

My son has been extremely happy at Next Generation Day Nursery. He has now left as he has started school. He was very sad to leave and misses his friends and staff at the nursery!

I highly recommend Next Generation Day Nursery.

We transferred our son with all the staff from their previous nursery in Sidcup to this new one in Barnehurst. He was coming up to school and he had been so happy there for almost three years that we felt the best solution was to move him with all the staff he loved so much for the last few months. That tells you a lot about how fantastic the staff at this nursery are - he has had the same wonderful key worker since he moved up from the baby room at 2 and he loves all the members of staff. The approach established by the management is one of real care and love for the children, which, in my opinion, is what you want! They are also very focused on the educational side and have prepared him really well for school and the transition. They have dealt really well with allergies and more serious health issues, which has been very reassuring. The new nursery setting in Barnehurst is fantastic, with such lovely spaces to play and learn - I only wish it were closer for our next one!

My two daughters have attended Next Generation Day Nursery since they were 18 months old. My eldest has now started school and my youngest is just about to. Unfortunately, the old site in Sidcup had to close but the staff and children all moved to a new setting at Barnehurst and so I was happy for my daughter to move there for her last few weeks at nursery. The new setting is a lovely space, it’s light and airy with great new equipment and a fantastic outdoor area which can be rare in nurseries but above all the best thing is the staff. They are caring, attentive, welcoming and always smiling and it’s everything you could hope for when you are entrusting your children into their care. My daughters are leaving a loving setting with a good start to their education.
