Little Treacles Nursery in Otford provides a nurturing environment for children from 3 months to 5 years. Rooms are designed for each age group, supporting unique needs and development.
The Tiny Treacles room offers a calm, caring, and homely environment for babies. The team works closely with parents and families, mirroring home routines to ensure each baby feels secure, content, and understood.
As children grow and develop, transitions occur into the Toddling Treacles and Little Treacles Pre-School rooms - vibrant, stimulating spaces designed to ignite curiosity and support early learning. Each room is arranged with low-level, accessible resources, encouraging exploration, independence, and choice throughout the day.
In the Pre-School Room, the focus is on learning through meaningful, real-life experiences. The team supports each child to follow individual interests while developing key skills for school and beyond. Following the Early Years Foundation Stage and the Little Treacles Curriculum, children practise everyday skills such as putting on coats, using the toilet independently, and serving themselves at mealtimes, an approach that also promotes fine and gross motor development. All age groups have access to the onsite garden and organised off-site visits as often as possible. These excursions inspire a deep appreciation for the wider world and community.
The team is committed to giving every child the best start, ensuring each day is joyful and full of learning opportunities and happy memories.

My daughter is always asking to stay longer when I come to collect her, which I believe says a lot about the staff and the activities that are organised for the children throughout their time there. I am a first time Mum and so it was incredibly daunting and worrisome looking for a nursery for my child to attend as I am sure most parents experience, but the very moment my family were welcomed into the nursery by Sam, we felt like part of the family. They did not make us feel rushed or like we were in the way and all the staff said hello to us and were happy to chat about anything. All of my initial concerns were listened to and taken into account and I cannot thank them enough for that. As a parent with mental health concerns, it made the transition into this part of life so much easier.
I have had the odd issues here and there and they have been treated with respect and open conversations, which is all you could hope for. We work as a team of staff and parents like a big family!

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for helping to settle our son during his first two weeks. We were understandably a little worried about the change of setting for him, but everyone has been so warm and friendly, which has made all the difference.
In particular, Izzy - who our son holds his hands out to see each morning - this has been incredibly reassuring for us as parents. We've also really appreciated the communication about his day. Above all, we truly feel that all the staff know who our son is, and that sense of care has created a lovely community of people working together to look after our baby.
Thank you again for helping us settle in. What you all do is wonderful.

Little Treacles Nursery is truly exceptional. From day one, the kindness and care shown by every member of staff has been outstanding. They are not only wonderful with the children, but incredibly supportive of families too - always approachable, understanding, and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development. The nursery itself is a fantastic environment: calm, nurturing, and thoughtfully set up to encourage curiosity, confidence, and learning through play. You can see how much effort goes into creating a space where children feel safe, happy, and excited to be there each day.
What really sets Little Treacles apart is the dedication of the team. Nothing is ever too much trouble whether it's supporting individual needs, keeping parents informed, or going the extra mile to make every child feel special. The care they provide goes far beyond what you would expect, and it shows in how settled and happy the children.

As a first time parent I was perhaps naive before having our daughter in thinking that most nurseries are created equal and they are by and large all the same. However, after looking round several, we found that this is absolutely not the case!
On visiting Little Treacles when our daughter was only a few weeks' old, we found the staff to be extremely knowledgeable, friendly and impressive. You can completely tell that looking after children is a vocation for the team - and not just a job! It was a no brainer to choose Little Treacles as the place to send our daughter. She absolutely loves it there and it was so reassuring to us when we went back to work to know that she was having a great time there and thriving. The updates on the app and the debriefs at the end of each day are so helpful too and we love knowing how much she's wolfed down of the food each day. Overall I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Little Treacles to anyone looking for a nursery setting for their child!

Everyone at Little Treacle's welcome my daughter and I with a big smile each and every day, making us feel immediately comfortable and helped so much at the beginning with my nervousness in particular. Since starting three months ago, we've seen a huge development in our daughter's confidence, motor skills and babbling. Her two primary carers send me regular updates throughout the day and a thorough run through of the same at pick-up which again helps me feel informed and confident she's in good hands. I've not had any concerns but have had loads of questions and they have always been met with a 'no question too little' attitude which we really appreciate as first time parents.
Overall, I believe our daughter really loves Little Treacle's, her smile when the door opens in the morning says it all!

My daughter has attended the nursery since we moved to Otford in May. Little Treacles have gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome and bed us into the new village. This started from opening the setting on a Saturday to let us view and meet some of the team and they haven't looked back since. They provide a varied curriculum for our daughter and she is thriving under their stewardship. I would highly recommend the nursery to any parent looking for a setting for their child.

We moved to the area in the summer, and one of the things we were concerned about was taking our son out of his nursery at the time (which he'd been attending since he was a baby) and having to establish him at a new one. We had nothing to worry about. It took him a matter of days to be comfortable in his new setting, and now several weeks down the line he absolute loves it, and the welcoming team there have been a completely pivotal part of that transition.
When they're not having fun inside the nursery (the staff provide all kinds of games & activities) they are taking trips to the local library, the allotment nearby, and he's even taken part in his first sportsday! I can't recommend enough, and particularly for people who want a place that feels like an integral part of the community.

Our son settled in well and very quickly at Little Treacles after leaving his previous nursery due to moving house.
We have always found the staff to be easy to speak to, have good handovers on pick up which never feel rushed and he has always come home happy but very tired! As soon as we viewed Little Treacles for the first time, he was off exploring, playing and engaging with Sam and the team and we may as well have not even been there.
The food options are varied, they have dance and sports classes, and also visit the local library and the playing field and park frequently. The ducklings that visit for a couple of weeks every year make a lovely addition and teaches children about gentle hands and valuable life lessons.
I would not hesitate to recommend Little Treacles to any parent or caregiver considering it and we are very sad to be moving on to primary school in September. We've even enrolled our son in after school care there as our son is so content at Little Treacles.

My daughter has attended Little Treacles for nearly a year and loves it. The nursery has grown massively in the short time it has been open which to me, is a sign that the kids and parents love what they're offering. The staff are fantastic, they clearly love what they do and they have a wealth of experience and know the children really well. I particularly like that all the staff spend time with her in some capacity and she knows everyone's names, it really helps when they move up an age group to have a familiar face. They do lots and lots of messy play too which my daughter loves. My daughter is really happy to go there and there are no tears at drop off, the handovers are thorough and they are always really good at communicating any last minute slots that become available. Overall I am very happy with my choice.

Our daughter has been at Little Treacles for over a year and loves it. She asks to go in on days she isn't booked and is always happy to be dropped off there. The staff really take good care of them and she has developed some wonderful friendships. There is always a good handover and they are fantastic in catering for her special dietary requirements and intolerance. They always make sure they include her and provide alternatives when she can't have the food that is provided for the other children. They take little trips out all the time, have sports visitors in to do sessions with the children and generally provide them with great experiences. The outside space isn't huge but they make the most of it and do use the field and playground which is super close. I will be sending my youngest there too and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Our child has been going to Little Treacle's for over 6 months. The child is very happy in the setting and as parents we are equally happy with the way the nursery accommodates kids' preferences and interests, as well as their wellbeing. It's always tricky when kids are at a very young age and cannot communicate properly, but we feel the nursery staff and management are very attentive to their needs.
Since it reopened under new Management last year, the nursery is very popular locally and overall we're happy with the setting they have created for kids and the care they give them. I have no hesitation in recommending it to other parents thinking of choosing Little Treacle's for their little ones.

We are so thrilled with Little Treacle's Nursery, where our son has been attending. He absolutely adores it, and it's clear why. The staff are exceptional-warm, attentive, and dedicated to keeping parents fully informed.

Since starting at Little Treacle's, our son's development has progressed remarkably; his learning and confidence have grown by leaps and bounds. He comes home beaming, chatting endlessly about how much he loves the nursery and the staff. We couldn't ask for a better environment for him!

We love Little Treacles! Our 3 year old daughter and 1 year old son attend the nursery and they couldn't be happier there. The team are professional, kind, caring and well trained in what they do which is everything that we that we want. We love that our children are constantly learning through play and exposed to many exciting experiences, both in the nursery including sports and dance lessons and further afield including a trip to the theatre and local soft play! The nursery leadership is impeccable, we feel that our children are exceptionally safe and nurtured in the environment and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Treacles to anyone!

My son started at Little Treacles Nursery in September and we couldn't be happy with the level of care he has received there. All the staff are absolutely brilliant, in particular my son's key worker and another staff member. He raves about them and what they've gotten up to every time we get home. We feel comfortable leaving him in their care and confident that he will be well looked after. The actual nursery has a lovely set up, with plenty of choice of toys and activities and is always kept clean. The location is great as it's right next to a park and playing fields where the children are taken to often to get outdoor time. We love that we get observations with photos and descriptions every time he's there so we can keep up to date with what he's doing.
In summary, we would highly recommend Little Treacles to anyone that is looking for a nursery for their little one.

When I am not at nursery, I can usually be found at home or enjoying time with family. I am forced to the park quite often by Elsie. I do go to the gym. However, I also love food! Balance is everything! I have worked in the childcare industry for over 25 years.
I started as an apprentice when I left school, before becoming a deputy manager and then a nursery manager for 10 years, all with the same company.
I have an Early Years Degree and hold an Early Years Professional Status.
I am also Paediatric First Aid Trained, and I am trained to be a designated safeguarding lead.
I aim to ensure that children and families receive high-quality childcare where children can thrive. I love watching children play, learn, flourish, and embrace their uniqueness. Working together with families to make a positive difference is something I truly enjoy.

My name is Samantha, but everyone calls me Sam. I grew up in Southeast London and moved to Kent a few years ago, where I now live with my husband and our teenage son. I have a real love for animals—especially owls—and we share our home with a dog, a tortoise, and a hamster.
When I’m not at nursery, you’ll often find me swimming, reading a good book, or exploring the outdoors with my camera, capturing the beauty of nature. I’m also passionate about music, particularly Elvis Presley, Queen, and anything from the 80s!
I have worked in the childcare industry for 20+ years, taking on a variety of roles including apprentice, room leader, and deputy manager, before becoming a nursery manager in April 2021. I hold an NVQ Level 3 in Children’s Care, Learning and Development, as well as an NVQ Level 3 in Management and Leadership. I am also Paediatric First Aid trained and qualified in British Sign Language. I am currently working towards a Level 5 Qualification.
I love working in the early years because each day brings a new adventure and a fresh challenge. I’ve always found the acquisition of language fascinating, and seeing children develop their language skills from one day to the next brings me so much joy.

My name is Rachael. I live in Bromley and grew up in Dartford.
I am a qualified Early Years Teacher, currently furthering my expertise by studying for a master’s in educational leadership. This ongoing training allows me to stay up to date with the latest research and best practices in early years education.
Music is a big part of my life, and I can often be found attending live music events. I am proud to be a 'swiftie', and I find that sharing my enthusiasm for music helps me to connect with both children and colleagues, bringing energy and creativity into the learning environments.
With over 10 years of experience in childcare, I have taken on a variety of roles that have strengthened my confidence in leading teams and supporting the professional growth of others.
I love working with children because I am passionate about creating engaging, inclusive environments where children feel valued and inspired to learn through play. I take pride in my ability to keep young children entertained and motivated to learn. Helping children learn and grow through play is incredibly rewarding.
