Little Cherubs Nursery pride themselves on being a small family run company that keeps the welfare and care of children at the heart of everything they do.

In 2000 the nursery opened the first nursery in Sydenham and the second in Shortlands 4 years later. Both nurseries are run by a dedicated Management team, some of whom has been with the company since opened.

They are committed to finding the best possible staff to provide parents with the peace of mind, knowing that their child is being cared for in a safe, healthy and loving environment.

The nursery aims to meet the needs of all children and families.

Staff will work together to support the parents and children throughout their time at Little Cherubs by building strong, positive relationships between Children, parents and the staff team.

There is an inclusive environment which enables the children to express themselves freely and provides a safe, secure and stimulating environment, that is bright, warm and inviting.

The children’s individual needs and interests are supported as they develop and grow.

My daughter has attended Little Cherubs Nursery Sydenham for just over a year now. She started when she was 8 months old and I was terrified of leaving her. The Baby room staff were so understanding and always filled me in on all the things she did during the day. She is currently in the Toddler Room
which she adores. She is only 22 months old but her speech and development just shocks me every day. She says all the staff names every morning and evening on our bus journeys. I honestly couldn't be more confident with leaving her in their hands. I can't thank them enough for all that they have done and are doing with my baby girl.

Very good nursery, both my children have attended here and my youngest, who started off in the baby room is now leaving to start primary school. It has been a wonderful 3+ years for him and he has loved it. All the staff are very polite and friendly, never had a single problem. The staff have prepared
my son for school as he can write and spell his own name without any help and is starting to recognise letters and words.
Very pleased with Little Cherubs and would definitely recommend it, this is a nursery I really trust.

My son has recently started the nursery and I could not be happier as I was waiting on the waiting list since I have heard about its good reputation. Delighted with the very welcoming and caring staff team, they are also currently building an extension so there will be space for my other child in September.
The
helped my son settle in very well and I get excellent feedback at the end of each day, they recently hatched ducklings at the nursery which my son really enjoyed and wont stop talking about! They do lots of activities such as french, music and sports lessons and outings, we are going to the farm next week! Well done little cherubs, keep up the good work!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool Sydenham is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.931 for Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool Sydenham is calculated as follows: ( (203 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.931

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Cherubs Nursery & Preschool Sydenham is based on 18 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 82 number of registered child places is 16.4, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
I have been working with Early Years for 8 years now and am continually growing, which for me has been a privilege and inspiring experience. When I began my career in the childcare industry, my goal was and has always been to provide a safe, warm, nurturing, and fun environment for children to be themselves and grow.
I’ve learned so much over the years which has also allowed me to be where I am currently on my own learning journey from a Nursery Assistant to Nursery Manager. I have never lost track of the fundamentals that allow children to have fun and learn.
I am a fun, caring, reliable individual who always goes above the call of duty to ensure that everyone around me is happy. My passion stems from living in the moment and enjoying life to the full.

WHAT I HOPE TO ACHIEVE AT LITTLE CHERUBS
As the Manager at Little Cherubs, I am determined to ensure that an outstanding standard of care that Little Cherubs currently provides to the children is upheld by all members staff on a daily basis.
I aim to further enhance and allow both children and staff to flourish on their own individual learning journeys.
My main aim is to ensure a fun, nurturing environment for everyone that attends Little Cherubs.

WHY WE CHOSE CHRISTOPHER FOR THIS ROLE
Christopher is a forward thinker that presents a very child centred approach to learning. He radiates both calmness and positivity. We feel he will be a great leader for our staff team.
We feel his upbeat energy will boost team morale & he will reflect as a great role model filtering down to the Sydenham team.
