My little boy joined nursery when he was 8 months and he has settled well within a couple of weeks in bluebird room. The teachers are very caring and pay attention to him. They listen and understand his needs and always make sure he is happy. I am happy with the nursery. My little one always looks forward
to going and seeing his teachers.

I have been taking my great-granddaughter to this nursery since about August 2023. Although she cries and doesn't want to go, once I leave her she runs straight to a member of staff and thankfully doesn't cling to me which is very reassuring. She is now settling in much better and cries less and less.
The staff are very kind to her, cuddle her and make a fuss of her and this obviously makes her feel more at ease. I can't fault all their kindness and I'm sure in time she won't cry at all! For the first time recently she didn't immediately run to me when I collected her which is another sign of her contentment.

My daughter joined Little Elms in August this year at 11 months old and I was so nervous firstly as a new mum and secondly because she was not a good eater or sleeper. I cannot believe how truly amazing the whole team at Little Elms have been in settling my baby in and for providing so much patience,
care and support. We have seen huge leaps in her development and communication which I can definitely say is a result of the wonderful staff and the activities they provide. She goes in every morning with a huge smile on her face and is greeted with such warmth and kindness. It makes my life easier as a full-time working mum, knowing that she is happy and settled throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend Little Elms more!

My daughter has been with Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham since she was 11 months old and is now leaving for school! She has loved the children and the teachers in every age group/ room she has been in. She has made some great friends and as a result, so have we! A huge thank you to everyone in
helping make her a kind, loving and headstrong little lady. I am certain our son (13 months now) will benefit from the same kindness, teaching and attention.

The staff here really care about the children which is the most important thing for me. They know the kids well, are happy to give updates and the app is great for sharing photos and info. Have built some really strong relationships, special mention to Beckenham2 Robins Room Leader who is simply fantastic.

Lots of different activities planned each day and my child also really likes the food.

Little Elms has been amazing with our little boy. He is clearly cared for, loves going in and seeing all the staff and his friends and his development has been incredible since his time at the nursery.
Daily updates for food, nappies etc. and observations are updated regularly so we can see what they
have been doing whilst he is in their care, staff are helpful and friendly if we have any queries or questions.
Can not thank the staff, particularly in Hummingbirds enough for the care and support for our little boy.
Highly recommend this nursery.

My children love going to nursery and come home telling me something new they have learnt everyday. The team are friendly and knowledgable but most of all attentive to my children's needs, who can be challenging at times. I feel confident leaving my children everyday.

Warm atmosphere, good care, our daughter loves it. Would definitely recommend. Really good on inclusion. Good at settling. Have been conscientious throughout Covid. Couldn’t be happier. Also, I enjoy the regular updates through the learning book.

Excellent nursery. The staff are diverse and do a lovely range of activities with the children, including fun and educational. They are very organised and very receptive to feedback as well, for improvement. They have been caring for my son, who will be going on to reception in September, for over two
years now. He has enjoyed Little Elms very much, including his tea time as he usually asks me not to pick him up before tea is served. I also like how the nursery has used video and app technology to show weekly pictures and videos of my son’s progress and playtimes. Really precious when I’m missing out on his development whilst I’m at work. My wife and I always receive quick updates and feedback on any issues related to the nursery or our son. Keep up the great work Little Elms Beckenham.

Fabulous care, great activities and lots of fun. We’ve been using Little Elms for the past year and are really pleased with their care for our daughter. They also provide regular updates on an app with photos, videos and comments, so we get an insight into her day. She always seems to be having a wonderful
time.

Little Elms Beckenham has been a fantastic setting for my two-year-old. Staff, from the reception area to the children’s rooms, are all incredibly professional, show a dedication to the children and all seem to enjoy their jobs, which does make a difference. The facilities are great, lots of access
to equipment both indoors and outdoors. Would highly recommend this nursery.

My children have recently moved to this nursery since having a bad experience at their past nursery. They fitted my children in with very short notice, settles were brilliant, even with Covid-19. Friendly staff - my eldest is in the pre-school room and my youngest in the baby room, both rooms have
amazing staff, and I'm extremely happy with their care. Handover sheets from the baby room are great. My eldest child has taken a liking to his keyworker like a duck to water, he speaks highly of her. The pre-school is perfect to get children ready for the transition to primary school.
Management is friendly and has great communication with us as parents. I wish I sent my children here from the start.

My son joined the Doves1 room at Little Elms when he was just over 11 months old. We were both extremely nervous and emotional during drop-offs. The team were very patient and understanding and gave lots of reassurance when I telephoned from work to "check-in" (which was pretty much every day to begin
with)! I'm happy to say my son enjoys going there every weekday and since he's moved to Doves2 for the slightly older babies, his confidence has grown tremendously. He is eating well, speech developing quite rapidly and as I recently discovered, has 2 best friends in his room with whom he has lots of fun on most days. I'd recommend Little Elms to any parent/guardian contemplating nurseries in this area; particularly because of the lovely girls who are looking after the children. I'll use this opportunity to give a big shout out to the Doves team and say thank you for taking care of my son. I hope the management duly value the good work you are all doing.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since 14 months old, (in Bluebirds) and is now 21 months. The carers have been lovely, encouraging me to call them if I need to "check up" on her, which I have. I didn't need to worry as she settled quickly once I left. Also some positive feedback at pick
up and anything that is not, they have talked to us about it (nothing to do with level of care, just my daughter isn't used to other children/nursery environment and what we can do to help her). Now my daughter finds nursery fun, loves the food there (had seconds on a few occasions), and generally enjoys her time there. I love getting updates on the Learning book and seeing how she spends her time there, it's updated quite often so never had to chase it up. Lots of creative actives and messy play which is great, email updates received every so often which is also good. I highly recommend Little Elms, please consider this nursery, we were glad to put our daughter there

I have been sending my son to this nursery since he was six months old and never for a day I felt uncomfortable. I think I made the best decision and best choice for my child. Since day one he has been cared for and nurtured almost like I do for him. I can see growth in his emotional, mental and cognitive
development. His language is building up and so is his confidence. He doesn't ever act shy in front of any unfamiliar adult because of the exposure he gets in his nursery. All the staff members there are very considerate and compassionate. They keep me well informed about what goes on with my son during the day. I almost always receive him chirpy and happy in the evening which is a sign that my son feels comfortable there. he looks forward to attending his nursery in the morning. I cannot recommend them high enough. Thanks to all the staff for putting a mother at ease.

I would highly recommend Little Elms. The staff are very caring and engaging. My son has learnt so much from the interaction given from staff for his development. He has attended since 9 months and is now in the last room preschool age 4. The management are good at communicating information and take
on feedback when raised good or bad and keep you updated. The garden space has recently been invested in and the children use the space regularly. Other activities are included in your costs such as Zumba, Tennis and French. Overall the staff make the nursery welcoming and accommodate the needs of the children. Thoroughly recommend.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.345)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.345) out of 10 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham Elm Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 5 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.661 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham Elm Road is calculated as follows: ( (39 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.661

  • b) 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 3.684 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Beckenham Elm Road is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5

    • ii) 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 136 number of registered child places is 27.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 27.2 = 0.184

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
