My little one has been attending Lollipops for 2 years and absolutely loves it there. The staff have always been caring, professional and accommodating to our needs. I personally love the fact that the outdoor space is large and the nursery also has a forest school. My little one loves being outdoors
all day on warm days is thriving in that environment.

Reply from Angela Eade, Manager at Lollipops

We strive to meet the needs of all the children in our care to help them reach their full potential. Our outdoor spaces and forest school give children opportunities to play, explore, risk take and learn about nature.

Our son has been at Lollipops since October 2022 and we have been thrilled with how well he has settled. He is so happy to be dropped off, and always happy at the end of the day. I am full of confidence with how well he is looked after. All the team are so genuine and lovely and we are so pleased we
found Lollipops when we moved to the area. It has a real family feel to the nursery.

My daughter has attended Lollipops since she was 8 months old. The whole settling-in process was easy and we felt so reassured by the staff. My daughter quickly got into a routine and has made some great bonds with both the children and the staff. She’s now 28 months and in the toddler room. We have
been so impressed with her development and we know it’s largely due to the nursery and their guidance. Our 2nd baby will start soon and we can’t wait to see how she thrives at Lollipops as well.

Reply from Angela Eade, Manager at Lollipops

It’s so lovely to hear how happy you are with your child’s progress, development and care. We look forward to welcoming their sibling to the Lollipops family.

All three of my children have gone to Lollipops. My first two children (now in school) had an amazing start and I believe thrived starting school due to the love and support they received from Lollipops. They do an amazing job. My youngest started Lollipops at 16 weeks old and will leave this year to
go to school. I know he has been just as cared for and supported throughout his time. The manager is amazing, all the staff are great. Committed, qualified and loving. Lollipops is a family, and it feels like that. I’ll be sad to finally part ways in the late summer which I think is a sign of just how great they are! My older children love coming back and picking their brother up and get big hugs and support from the staff. They do great events for the children, celebrate cultures and events and have great space and facilities. All my kids have loved it and we love it too!

Reply from Angela Eade, Manager at Lollipops

It’s so lovely felt to hear how happy you and your children have been at Lollipops. Our practitioners strive to form close bonds with children and their families. It has been a pleasure to care for your children and watch them grow and flourish. It has been lovely to have you as part of the Lollipops family over the last few years, thank you for this fantastic review.

My twin sons have been at Lollipops since they were six months old and have been there for a year, and they love going there. They're always happy at drop-off; we see how much the teachers love them, and my sons love them back. They're taken great care of and clearly have a lovely time there. They also
get a really good variety of foods at meal times.

Reply from Angela Eade, Manager at Lollipops

It’s lovely to hear how happy your boys are to come to nursery and you’re happy with the quality of care. We pride ourselves in offering healthy and nutritious meals and snacks that are prepared fresh daily. Our menu includes a wide selection of fresh vegetables, fruit and salad.

My daughter loves her days at nursery, she runs straight in. Since going to this nursery she has become more confident and outgoing! She definitely learns so much from going as she is always singing new songs or telling me new things. They are always doing activities and sending home pictures and stuff
that they have made with her.

It’s lovely to hear how happy your daughter is to come to nursery, and the positive impact it is having on her development. Our practitioner’s love to share children’s progress, work and creativity with parents.

After having to take my daughter out of a poorly run unsafe nursery, I was very anxious about putting her into another setting. I met with the manager of Lollipops who was very professional, she was able to answer all my questions and show evidence of well run safe practice. My daughter settled very
quick and has been there for 5 months and is very happy. She’s learning, she’s confident and absolutely loves the staff that works with her. Thoroughly recommend

I’m so glad I was able to reassure you, especially after your bad experience at a previous nursery. We pride ourselves in providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for children to grow and have fun. It’s lovely to hear how happy and confident she is.

Both my children have attended Lollipops and I can’t express how amazing they have been with them. My youngest is starting school in September and we will all be sad to say our final goodbye. They have helped both my children develop in many ways and have been a huge part of their lives. I love the
fact it’s a family-run nursery and all the children are welcomed into the family. I can’t thank them enough, if you are looking for a nursery I highly recommend Lollipops!

I have had two children at Lollipops with my youngest due to leave for school in September and I can't recommend them enough. All of the staff genuinely care for and clearly got to know each of my children's quirks, interests and characters really well. They do so many creative activities but my children
especially love the incredible garden and spend lots of time outside, including forest school. My eldest has a serious egg allergy and they were so professional and careful to ensure he never ate anything that contained egg, so I felt so reassured that he was safe. I am very grateful to everyone at Lollipops for caring for my sons so beautifully and giving them a great start before going to school.

Reply from Angela Eade, Manager at Lollipops

Thank you for such a lovely review,
Our team prides it's self on getting to know each child as an individual and forming strong relationships with all our families.
At Lollipops we take children's food allergies very seriously, offering healthy alternatives that are prepared separately to avoid contamination. Our menu is mainly vegetarian with some fish dishes, all our meals and snacks use a wide range of fresh vegetables and fruit giving our children well balanced healthy meals. We prepare our meals and snacks daily using seasonal fresh produce.

We're so pleased we chose Lollipops for our son. He's been there a year and a half now and the staff there are like a second family to him. During the first lockdown, the communication and online resources/activity ideas sent via email were brilliant. Our son can be fairly shy but they've really brought
him out of his shell and given him so much confidence, he's come on leaps and bounds since returning. They make so much effort, really get to know the children, and genuinely care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lollipops, the staff all do such an amazing job!

Both of our daughters love going to Lollipops. The eldest has been going for 3 years now and still really enjoys going, and is being stimulated by lots of work with numbers and letters. The staff turnover rate is very low which means the children really get to know the staff and vice versa. Our younger
daughter is coming on really well too and is always extremely happy to see her key worker.
The best thing about the nursery is the staff, we know our girls are in safe hands and looked after by people in a positive environment, created by the manager.

Our daughter is at Lollipops and we couldn’t be happier with the nursery. They’ve always made a massive effort with learning, fun and care. During this year, the nursery have gone above and beyond to keep the children safe, keep the children learning consistently and make it fun for the children.
They
take a personal approach to learning and development - really helping my daughter focus on areas that need extra attention.
The staff are brilliant and you can see their joy and care looking after the children. They help out with everything they can.

This nursery has been a blessing for our little family here at New Eltham. Lollipops is a family-owned place where they make your little ones feel part of the family. During all the difficult time through the lockdown and national restrictions, all of their staff have been very helpful, flexible and
approachable when it comes to seeking advice and support. I strongly recommend them on the basis that my little one feels loved, accepted and seems to enjoy her lovely time there.
I do also want to highlight their meals menu is very healthy and it's meat-free. So your child will always eat healthy yummy food.
The location is convenient, staff are lovely and from all ages which is very important for your kids to learn to respect adults but at the same time enjoying playing with the younger members of staff.
If you want your little ones to grow up with love, high education program and funny adventures, Lollipops is the place to be.
All love from our family.

Having reviewed most nurseries in the area, Lollipops came out quite high on recommendations. I put my daughter in at 10 months, and in the first week she came on in leaps with her walking and eating, I was super impressed how much difference Lollipops had made in such a short amount of time. The staff
are incredible and super informative of how my daughter has been during the day, if she has had a great day or if she is teething and needing a bit more of a cuddle. I think what I love the most about Lollipops is that they actually give the children their full attention and care. My daughter passes me her coat in the morning at 14 months to show me, she is ready to go to school, she does not cry at drop off or pick up because she is so at home and comfortable with the team. I highly recommend Lollipops and extremely happy that I made the right choice in sending her to such a wonderful environment.

All staff members are very welcoming and have a positive approach towards everything, they’re not only there for the children but also parents/careers, they have

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) out of 10 for Lollipops 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.924 for Lollipops is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.924

  • 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 Lollipops is based on 10 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 10 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.
