My son has been attending Little Learners, Bromley for a year and a half and absolutely loves it there. If you are a first-time parent or a parent looking for a new nursery for your little one then all I can say is there is no need to think twice.
When my little one joined nursery, I was a first-time
mum, very anxious and unsure about what to expect and if I had made the right decision. Now I can definitely say that this was the best decision as the staff and facilities are excellent. So many activities to feed their curiosity, ensuring learning and development. The staff are so supportive, not only with learning but also in developing children’s social and emotional and all-round skills.
The key workers are always so supportive, informative and always provide practical feedback. It is great to see my son thriving at Little Learners. But most of all I know that I have peace of mind because my little one is safe and happy there.

5-star nursery!
I would definitely recommend to my friends, family and anyone who is looking for a brilliant/trustworthy nursery.
My child loves going to Little Leaners and has come on leaps and bounds, she’s also made new friends and good relationships with staff.
The staff are really welcoming
and calming for both children and parents, especially when you're a first-time mum.

Looking for a 1st class nursery setting for your little ones, then you won’t find better than Kindred Little Learners. I can’t recommend this nursery highly enough. My middle daughter attended here and my son is now in his 2nd year. At their most recent OFSTED inspection, they scored 1 across every
category and received excellence status. They operate for 50 weeks a year with only 1 week at Easter and 1 week at Xmas closed so their staff can have a well-earned break, which takes a huge pressure off working parents. Opening hours are 8am-6pm. Unlike so many other nurseries who have high staff turnover, at Kindred Little Learners their staff retention rate is superb. Therefore children have continuity of care and are able to build meaningful relationships with the teachers and staff throughout their preschool journey. Nothing is too much for the dedicated team that together make Kindred Little Learners a superb stimulating, educational and safe environment for our most precious little ones.

Amazingly friendly staff, they look after my child like their own. Always supportive of any medications I have prescribed from doctors for my daughter. They are an awesome team - always helpful, also provide visibility to child’s growth assessment, help with any details we like about the child about
their progress. They take childcare very proficiently and are the best I have come across so far.

We have been at Little Learners and it is a fantastic nursery.
The children enjoy every day that they are there. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the setting is beautiful and well maintained.
The learning through fun has had a significant impact on my children and I can see that they have
come on leaps and bounds.
Even during lockdown the nursery provided activities and videos to keep the children engaged and support parents during a very difficult time.

I cannot speak highly of this nursery. Since the day my son joined I’ve been nothing but impressed with the level of organisation, care and engaging activities. My son is always talking about his day and he knows all the members of staff.
I really like the way the two preschool rooms are allowed to
flow between each other allowing the children to experience the different activities.
It’s great that they have external visitors like police officers, dentists, doctors, etc. coming to speak to the children.
I’m always impressed with the detail in my son's progress folder when we have parents evening. You get the feeling that the staff really enjoy working there, from the management right down to the key workers.
Also compared to some overpriced nurseries around, it is amazing value for money!

I highly recommend this nursery. Both my son and my daughter have spent 3 years here (on a P/T basis) and have thrived. The nursery does all the important things really well. The standard and variety of food is very high. Phonics and writing are taught to the older children and there is a member of
staff who oversees learning. The outdoor space is well maintained. But above all, the quality of care is excellent and both my children have developed very strong relationships with the staff, the vast majority of whom have been there throughout the 4 years we have been attending (this is not the case at many private nurseries). This includes the management staff who are fully involved in the day to day life and are always on hand if you need to speak to them. We will be very sorry to leave Little Learners in September when my daughter starts school. We could not have asked for a better start for them and will always be grateful to the staff at Little Learners.

My son has been extremely happy at Kindred Little Learners, I know he will be sad to leave in a few months time. There has never been a day when he didn't want to go. As his mum, there isn't much more I could wish for...he is happy, so I am happy. I know he is safe, cared for and always has lots of
fun. The staff have been excellent, especially with the recent difficulties we have all had to face. Nothing has ever been a problem and everyone has always been very helpful and friendly. I feel my son is perfectly ready to take the next step and move on to school and that is a testament to the staff at Little learners, helping him to grow and learn the skills he needs. I always recommend Little Learners to my friends very highly. In-fact it was recommended to us by a mum who's son is now about to leave school!

My son has been attending Little Learners Early Years Centre in the Bluebells class for the past 18 months and is incredibly happy there - he even often asks us if he can go there at the weekend to play with his friends and see his “favourite teacher”!
In my opinion all of the staff are fantastic,
they are extremely welcoming, warm, patient, kind and full of energy and enthusiasm. At the same time, they manage to keep a classroom full of 3 and 4 year olds remarkably calm and well-behaved. Not only does my son receive excellent care, the staff have been very helpful and supportive helping my husband and I to navigate and meet the deadlines of the often complicated government childcare funding system. We’re all going to miss Little Learners Early Years Centre once my son starts school in September but look forward to enrolling our baby daughter once I return to work.

Our twins are so happy at LLEYC, they have flourished whilst there and always come home full of excitement about what they have done that day.
The staff are so lovely and boys are very fond of them.
They were previously at a different nursery and cried every day which was stressful for me and them
but almost immediately after attending LLEYC they looked forward to going.
The children are always so calm and well behaved when I go to collect them. The staff are great, the food is lovely as I get a run down each day of their favourite things they ate.
They have made some lovely friends and I feel that they are being well prepared for the transition to primary school this September.

Little Learners in Bromley offers professional childcare in a safe, friendly environment. I have always felt at ease leaving my two children there, even if they display signs they want to stay with me, the staff soon distract them, allowing me to leave with ease, and at the end of the day inform me
they have been happy.
The facilities are great, with outdoor areas for both the nursery and separate one for pre-schoolers. They have an on-site chef who prepares all meals fresh from scratch and are able to cater for all dietary needs.
The staff are very friendly and warm and I would say prepare children to the best of my knowledge to a high standard so they are ready for school, such as learning phonics, reading and maths games as well as basic hygene. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Learners to anyone.

My son has been attending this nursery since September 2017, has transitioned between 2 rooms, as he reached the age of 3 and has integrated very well. This was clearly supported by the amazing, caring team that works there.
Being a picky eater I see that he accepts very well the food, and has actually
widened his tastes.
Language-wise, my son's speech delay has seen considerable improvement since November, so I am more than pleased.
One factor that made my choice was the outside space which has a view over a park. My son absolutely loves it!

My daughter has been at LLEYC for the last 18mths and has developed hugely. All of the staff are welcoming and if you ever have any concerns they are more than willing to work with you to resolve any issue. My daughter is happy and has bonded with the staff as much as the other children.
In terms of
development, she is encouraged to explore all different aspects of learning and I feel her time at LLEYC has definitely given her brilliant preparation for starting school in September.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.421)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.421) out of 10 for Kindred Little Learners Nursery and Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 16 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 4.806 for Kindred Little Learners Nursery and Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.806

  • 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 4.615 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kindred Little Learners Nursery and Pre-school is based on 16 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 130 number of registered child places is 26. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 26 = 0.615

  • 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.
