Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursery! The staff are all brilliant - they are always so warm and welcoming with the children in the mornings, they provide wonderful care and education, and are clearly loved as our son is always babbling their names at home. They serve varied and nutritious meals, and are respectful of
parent preferences/requests. They are excellent with their communication and provide updates throughout the day and at the end of the day, in addition to weekly roundups and general progress reports. Our son loves it, we love it, the team there do a fantastic job.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little one has been with nursery roughly 6 months. Despite changes in that time the nursery has been great in keeping us informed and up to date. The staff are genuinely caring, with special mention to a few members of staff. Love the updates, concern for my bubs' well being and little activities they
host from time to time.
Great nursery and would definitely recommend.

Our three-year-old son has been at Little Elms since March. He moved from toddlers to preschool and has been looked after so well. The team are always attentive and caring when he’s a little upset in the mornings. He always comes home saying I love nursery. The newsletters are informative and keep us
up to date.

Both our children have gone to Little Elms Daycare and thrived there. My 4 year old has been there since he was about 1 and our 6 year old went there too. All the staff are really friendly and warm, and the manager is great. The kids downloads of fun activities, parents get daily updates, and they have
plenty of outside time too.

We love Little Elms Daycare Catford Green. The staff are friendly and show genuine care for all the children. There are so many varied activities, both my children have been stimulated, entertained and have learned and developed so much.
I get a detailed handover at the end of the day and this can
be given by any of the team members in the room which shows that all of them are aware of what my child is doing throughout the day which I find very impressive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter loves her time at Little Elms Daycare Catford Green and has come on leaps and bounds since starting there over a year ago. I’m an ex early years teacher and wanted a child-centred and play-based nursery - we hit the jackpot with Little Elms Catford Green, with their focus on each child as
an individual - their needs, interests, and areas for development - and learning through play and exploration. The interactions between the talented staff and the children are nurturing, calm, caring and consistent, and fun! I feel like the nursery is an extension of home and that my little girl is cared for brilliantly. Their outdoor space is fairly small but the team set it up really well, with plenty of opportunities for movement and exercise. She’ll be leaving in September to go to primary school and, whilst we’ll be very sad to say goodbye, we know they’ve given our daughter firm foundations for success in Reception class. Couldn’t be happier.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We've had a very positive experience of Little Elms in Catford Green. Our daughter has always found it hard to settle away from us but after just a short while she runs into nursery excited about the day ahead. All the team, but particularly her room leader and key worker, are both very talented at
providing high levels of care and stimulating activities for our daughter. They've been accommodating with any requests and we've always felt completely confident with the management and running of the nursery.

Little Elms in Catford Green have been fantastic with my son who started this week. They've made sure they're doing all they can to help him settle in and are great at feeding back to us. Would reccomend this nursery to any parents!

Well located near Catford train stations but significantly far from the main road towards Ladywell Fields. Great staff and happy babies and toddlers abound. I get jealous of all the fantastic meals provided which amongst other helpful details are provided on a daily report card. Recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter started here in June starting 2 mornings a week and increasing to 3 full days. She has formed really good bonds with the staff and her pictures show how much she enjoys it there. Feedback is always detailed and great and staff are really approachable and friendly. They really took the time
to get to know my little girl, and us, and about her likes, and when I get pictures it's always of fun activities with things she likes in. The management are always on hand if you need them and happy to help. My daughter has really progressed since starting here, mainly in her language. I can't wait to see how much she continues to grow. Thanks Little Elms.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We joined this nursery in July 2019 when my child was 12 months. The staff went above and beyond to ensure she was fully settled in, including extra settling in sessions to ensure she was fully comfortable and integrated.
We were kept updated on how she was doing, including telephone calls and emails.
Management
are excellent, they run the nursery impeccably and reply to all queries straight away. They have been supportive to our family and understanding of my little girl's needs. I love how they know all the children by name as well.
My daughter has built some great friendships and developed bonds with many members of staff ensuring a smooth transition into the toddler room a few months ago.
They have a varied calendar of events including cultural activities which has kept my daughter stimulated and engaged at all times including a special visit from Peppa Pig. My girl is thriving and exceeding milestones. We have parents evenings, daily feedback and an online journal.

Review from Jane S (Mother of Child) published on 22 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two children have been at this nursery for nearly a year. Between them, they have been in every age room at the nursery.
We have all had such a positive experience so far in every room. The staff are great. I’ve been pleased that there is a solid core of staff that have been there from the beginning
and my kids have formed some really good relationships with them. My kids have always been looked after really well, they have a good routine and the staff are really caring. Our experience is one of a very safe environment.
Some particular positives - weekly Spanish and dance lessons for all age groups. They had tennis for a while too. My kids have loved these and my two-year-old was saying ‘Hola’ before he was saying ‘hello’.
The app (for older rooms), staff update the app on what your kid has been doing with photos/videos. Really like this.
Management communication is excellent (email/calls).
Lots of activities in rooms.

Wonderful staff! Modern facilities with lots of natural light and clean/educational toys. My two children have been going to the nursery since Augusta 2019, and we cannot fault it. It is away from the pollution of the south circular and has many trees/parks surrounding it. The food menu is exceptional
too!

Our daughter is really settled and comfortable at Little Elms. She has a great relationship with her keyworker and has benefited from the continuity of care she receives there. The rooms are equipped to a high standard with lots of different activity stations that have been very carefully and creatively
thought out, the children have a varied and stimulating routine day to day. There’s lots of space for the kids to explore both inside and outside.
The entire building is immaculate and modern, it’s a really nice nursery and we are really happy and reassured that our daughter enjoys going so much.

Our two year old daughter has been at this nursery for nearly a year and we couldn’t be happier with our experience there. The building is lovely and modern, with spacious rooms and generous outdoor areas. The equipment, toys and activity stations are new, varied and exciting. The team working with
our daughter are all so great, receptive, caring and friendly. They organise fun activities for the kids like ceramic painting, Spanish lessons and dance classes which really sets them apart. Our daughter has special needs and they have been incredibly proactive working with us to ensure she is included and that her additional needs are met. She loves it so much I sometimes struggle to get her home because she doesn’t want to leave. We will be putting our second child into this nursery with the Little Elms team this year.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.175)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.175) out of 10 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Catford Green is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 3 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 4.694 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Catford Green is calculated as follows: ( (26 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.694
  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 3.481 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Catford Green is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 65 number of registered child places is 13. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.231
  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.
