My son has been in the baby room since he was 6 months old, and he's now nearly 1. I can't say how amazing it's been to find LCA and have them as part of his life. I was really anxious about going back full time, had a lot of mum guilt and the whole team from the outset have loved him and looked after
him so well that we've never looked back. Every day when I drop him off he's so happy to see the team and I can see how much all the kids are adored.The app they use is updated brilliantly and we get to see all the amazing things he's up to, most of which I would never do at home even if I was a full time mum! I can see how good the environment has been for his development and how much love and care all the babies get. The reality of so many parents now is we can't be with our kids as much as we'd like, so knowing they have the best care means the world.

Our son has been attending Little Cubs for a year (we had to wait a long time to get in). It's a wonderful nursery. The leadership are brilliant, they genuinely care about the kids. All of the staff are wonderful too (although they do seem to have quite a high turnover), putting so much time and thought
into the activities they plan and the little trips they take to the shops and the park. We love Forest School! Our second son will be joining later this year - we couldn't recommend Little Cubs highly enough.

I found searching for a nursery for my eldest daughter so overwhelming. The moment I spoke with the owners of Little Cubs Academy I knew this was our nursery. They were so supportive in answering all my questions and offered such a holistic approach to child care. My eldest ended up being diagnosed
with autism whilst at Little Cubs, but even before she had her diagnosis, they went above and beyond to not only support her and personalise her learning, but they supported the other children in understanding why she might not join in with something or why she wasn't talking. We had meetings to update me on her progress. They were a huge part in getting her funding and an EHCP so that when she left and went onto school she would have the support she needed. They helped her become such a confident little girl. Sending my younger daughter there was a no-brainer. She is absolutely thriving there and it's nice to have confidence and peace knowing she has a wonderful day every time she goes!

My son has been attending Little Cubs since just before his first birthday, and has moved through all four rooms from baby to pre-school. Throughout his time, we've been hugely impressed by the staff, facilities and community of Little Cubs. As a baby, he was so cared for and looked after, and developed
real excitement about seeing staff and the activities on offer. As a pre-schooler, he comes home talking happily about friends, learning, and whatever the theme and book of the month happen to be! We've been hugely comforted and impressed, and would highly recommend.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Little Cubs. Our child started at 12 months in bears where the room staff were amazing helping him and us settle in and work on some of his early milestones. He is now 2.5 and goes so happily into nursery everyday and comes home talking about his friends
and the staff and what he's done that day. At home he role plays his favourite nursery activities like circle time and helpers of the day. The staff are wonderful, so knowledgeable about child development, very kind and caring and they create and impressively calm environment with lots of fun and learning. There are lots of outings to the park and local sights. A very special place.

Our daughter started at Little Cubs Academy when she was 18 months and she's going there very happy single morning. The teachers have been amazing and care so much about the kids. We really appreciate the time they take at the end of the day explaining what she's done and how she's been. They set up
different activities every day and they learn by playing - we get regular updates throughout the day with many pictures and small reports, observations and milestones' achievement.
We also have 1-to-1 sessions once a year but you can always approach the teacher if you want to have a 1-to-1 conversation if there is something that concerns you. They also do lots of outings to the library, the museum, the playground, the local park, and the riverside. They also go out on half-day trips (older kids: 2yr-4yr): boats and visit the London landmarks, taking the bus to nearby towns, the local farm and a trip on the cable car. We would 100% recommend it to anyone.

Little Cubs Academy has been an incredible part of our daughter's early years, shaping her growth and development from the Bears group through preschool. The staff's dedication, professionalism, and warmth create an environment where children thrive.
Activities are thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity,
from themed arts and crafts to outside adventures. The outings are equally exceptional, including visits to the local farms and the museums that broaden horizons. These experiences have fostered our daughter's confidence, creativity, and love for learning.
Little Cubs Academy's holistic approach prioritizes both cognitive and emotional development, with tailored teaching that recognizes each child's unique needs. Communication with parents is excellent! Celebrations of milestones, from daily recognitions to larger observations, make every child feel special.
As we reflect on our journey, we are deeply grateful to Little Cubs Academy for their outstanding commitment to our daughter's success.

Little Cubs Academy Honor Oak is a fantastic nursery with brilliant staff who really care about the children's well-being and learning. My son attended Little Cubs Academy for over 4 years until he left for school, and now my daughter (1 year old) attends. My son loved his time there and still likes
to go back to visit his favourite teachers. The whole team have always been so helpful, professional and caring, and the communication via the app has always been brilliant - sharing meal times and photos from their fun daily activities. Our children particularly enjoy the local walks they often organise and during the warmer months, my son loved the trips to Forest School. I highly recommend Little Cubs Academy for children of all ages.

Overall we have had a very positive experience. Found the nursery through a local mother and baby social media group, as there were a few parents who had children enrolled there. Great communication, curriculum, and activities. We love that they spend a lot of time outside, visit the library, and do
another trip out.

Our child started age 1 year and has moved into lions then tigers.
We have found the nursery to be excellent.
The staff are warm and caring and we get good feedback throughout the day, with pictures of what he is doing. The observations capture him well and the staff all know his personality so well.
He
has lots of fun and is beginning to tell us about his friends and what he does during the day.
The food seems excellent and he has daily access to a large garden space.
We've been very happy with the communication with us as parents and the care and attention our son has received.
Thank you!

My daughter has been at Little Cubs since she was 11 months old and I can honestly say there hasn't been a single negative experience since she's been attending.
The staff have been fantastic throughout each stage of my daughter's progression. The communication between the staff and parents is fantastic
with regular updates throughout the day and thorough observations of milestones and achievements.
Most importantly my little girl has thrived and always leaves her setting having had a lovely day with her friends and carers. The bar has been set very high, we will be very sad when we have to move to primary school but I know for sure she will be very well prepared!

I am truly so happy with the Little Cubs Nursery and would recommend it to anyone. It is relatively small, so I feel like I know all the teachers which makes it very familiar for both me and my two children. They always take the time for an extensive handover at the end of the day and leave room for
questions. I also love that they regularly go out to the park, playground, museum or library. Every morning new activities are set up very nicely, with a good balance between playing and learning. As a parent, we get regular updates throughout the day, with lots of pictures and small reports of observations.

My child spent many happy years of their life at the nursery. He made many friends, and the parent community was wonderful. Moving from overseas was challenging, as we had to start afresh, but we had nothing to worry about. The nursery set him up for school, where he continues to flourish. Thanks, Little

Choosing this nursery for our daughter was certainly a great decision. We were in awe of how much my little girl flourished and grew to love the daily day trips and her key workers. Another highlight was the open and prompt communication throughout her time there. The updates on her daily activities
were constant and we truly felt included in her routine. We only left because we had to change neighbourhoods, but I would definitely have stayed if that was an option. Massive thanks to the staff for the incredible work that you do.

Choosing the right nursery for your children is a big decision and we couldn't be happier with our choice of Little Cubs Academy Honor Oak. Both of our children, 1 year old and 3 years old, really enjoy going to the nursery. They always seem happy coming out of the nursery at the end of every day. The
staff are warm and caring and seem to have good relationships with the children. We've been particularly impressed with the variety of activities offered, from arts and crafts to PE, and outdoor activities such as local walks and forest school. It's clear they're passionate about early childhood development and it shows in how much our children have thrived.
We highly recommend Little Cubs Academy Honor Oak to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their little ones.

First of all I want to highlight that the room team is pretty great, they do ensure that children are active and safe. There are a few things that did not work well for us and probably could be improved:
_[1]_ We had only a few days of settling period and it was quite tough for our toddler. Our request
to extend the settling period has been refused and there are not a lot of opportunities for mums to spend some extra time with the kid inside the nursery.
_[2]_ Nursery has a lot of marketing on the website about outdoor activities and nature. Unfortunately we had only a couple of hours in the park/playground every other day. Sometimes outdoor activities were cancelled due to bad weather. This was a bummer for us, taking into account that nursery has quite a modest 'outdoor-ish area' and is located near stone interior production facilities.
_[3]_ We stopped attending nursery after three months (April-June) and we've been charged for +1.5 month notice that we have not attended. Ouch.

Reply from M.L.C, Parent Relationship Manager at Little Cubs Academy Greenwich Nursery & Pre-School

We are delighted to have received the feedback that you provided, 'the room team was pretty great', 'it was wonderful to have the team take care' of your son.- We have no record from you, requesting an extended settling-in period. We always endeavour to do what we can to accommodate individual needs and requirements.- At LCA, the outdoors is very much an extension of the classroom. Your child was only enrolled 2 days a week, for a period of 3 months. We have checked the records and can confirm that the children went out regularly throughout that time. Our children also spend every day in our outdoor play area weather permitting. - You have communicated to us, that you were not happy 'ouch', about being charged a notice period for leaving the nursery. Our Terms and Conditions (which you signed up for), state that we require 2 months' notice when leaving the nursery. You failed to provide any notice at all, and breached the terms of the contract.

Our daughter started Little Cubs at a fairly early age - 5 months - so we were naturally very nervous, however very quickly we discovered not only that the nursery was a fantastic place for her to spend her days and develop her personality, but also that quite soon after starting, she practically begged
to be handed over (though she was naturally very happy to see us at pick up!) She has developed into a really kind and sharing, caring sort and it's in no small part due to the atmosphere at Little Cubs. We were kept very much informed of all her activities via the app, with lots of lovely photos to make it feel like we weren't missing anything, which was super to see as it helped us also choose complementary activities for her at home.
We also loved seeing the food that was prepared for the children and the - frankly amazing - menu that varied with the seasons. I think you'd find it hard to find better nutrition for your kid than here.
