Fennies Bromley is a great place for our son to learn and develop. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the senior management are also very hands-on which means they understand the children at a very personal level.
I would highly recommend Fennies Bromley as a nursery for in the Bromley area.

We have been a part of this nursery family since my eldest started in the baby room in January 2016 at a year old and she loves to come back to pick up my youngest who has been there for two years now. We have always had a great interaction with the staff and the girls have always loved going to nursery
and have had fantastic relationships with their key workers. Having been here a while we have seen how the nursery has become more innovative and how the curriculum has become more varied, more inclusive and engaging for the children. I love how my youngest just disappears off with barely a backward glance and when she comes home she is so excited to tell me about her day. It will be a very sad day when our youngest leaves and we have to say goodbye for the last time.

Fennies is a safe, fun and encouraging setting for our daughter. She has really developed over the last few months, particularly in her speech and confidence amongst her peers. We are so pleased that we chose Fennies as the nursery goes above and beyond to ensure our child is comfortable as well as
ease the anxieties we had as first-time parents sending our child to the setting. Furthermore, the facilities and staff are first class; always a pleasure to see and speak to. They regularly keep you updated with your child’s progress and send pictures and videos to capture memorable moments. Our child has come on leaps and bounds, and her exposure to the offering provided by Fennies is most definitely a contributing factor that we are very pleased with.

My daughter has been at Fennies Bromley since she turned 1. From the day we first took a tour of the nursery (when she was 9 weeks old), we knew this was where we wanted her to go. From her very first day, all of the staff have been incredibly kind and nurturing, while making sure she hits developmental
milestones. The relationships that the key workers have with their children is especially lovely. The progression in my daughter's confidence, language, motor skills and comprehension has been wonderful to see - almost every day she comes home with a new word or skill. The activities are fun and well-organised, and the facilities are great - my daughter can't get enough of the wonderful garden - and we really appreciate the updates and photos we get on the app. We love that Fennies celebrates multi-cultural holidays with the children, and teaches languages from a young age. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely nursery to other parents.

The staff are all lovely! Management is great, they know exactly what is going on with every child, remember every child’s name and what room they are in. I feel they really care about their job, the parents and the children in their care. After an awful experience with a previous nursery, Fennies Bromley
has really made me feel confident and trusting. Thank you guys!

Our daughter attended Fennies before she went to school in 2017. When we had our son in 2020 and I started to plan my return to work, our natural thought was to return to Fennies and I’m so glad we did. Whilst some staffing has naturally changed the team are amazing and have welcomed my son with open
arms. I don’t worry about anything when he is there and look forward to getting updates on his day and the food he has eaten (which is amazing thanks to the wonder that is the Chef). It’s a pleasure and a joy to deal with the nursery and I can’t thank them enough for their amazing care of my son.

My daughter has just settled into this nursery and naturally due to Covid and lockdowns she hadn't been away from my husband and I regularly. This made us apprehensive about her attending nursery. The Fennies staff did everything to make her transition a comfortable one. They were very accommodating
and attentive to my daughter's needs in such a challenging time. My daughter loves the nursery and in a short period of time is starting to feel totally at home. I would highly recommend this nursery.

I have been very happy with Fennies Bromley nursery. My son has been attending for almost 2 years and took no time at all to settle. The staff are always caring and share details about my son's day. They often approach me with information about his development and learning as well as future targets
and transition information. Most of the staff seem to be nurturing and positive in their approach to navigating tricky moments. The only challenge has been quite a high staff turnover. Having said that, my son is keen to go in every day and returns happy, safe and growing and learning. He has adjusted to all of the changes and Fennies staff, from management to room workers, to any adult who is there, are supportive and welcoming. Fennies are always adding extra resources and offering extra services (eg home learning, fresh food pick up, early starts) to go the extra mile in supporting working families.

Thank you for your feedback and lovely comments. It is great to hear that your son is happy at Fennies! We always strive for the very best at Fennies and we've taken note of each of your points so we can continue to improve and deliver the best childcare.

My daughter has been at Fennies Bromley since she was under a year old and is now nearly four. She loves it there and has made lots of friends. The staff have been incredibly helpful and supportive with both my daughter and I. There was a point when my daughter was very shy and the staff really went
the extra mile to help her settle in and help her gain confidence. The activities are varied and the resources are excellent. The outdoor space is also excellent and big compared to other nurseries locally. I can happily say my daughter’s educational and emotional needs are without doubt met. The staff at Fennies Bromley go above and beyond. My daughter and I will be very sad to leave there when she starts school in September.

Reply from Amy Forbes, Marketing Manager at Fennies Bromley, Blyth Road

Thank you for your lovely review. I am so glad to hear that your daughter has gained in confidence during her time with us. I am sure that the nursery staff will also miss her when she goes off to school.

Since my son has joined Fennies I have noticed he has learnt so much and become so confident and extremely talkative! The staff are always so welcoming and friendly and have made nursery life throughout COVID normal with procedures put in place to protect us all. My son leaves nursery talking about
things he has learnt and sometimes surprises me by telling me things I never knew he knew! Would definitely recommend it to other parents.

The staff and facilities at Fennies in Bromley are excellent. My son started in November of 2020 and considering it has been such a difficult time for all the team, they have been absolute stars. It has taken a while for my son to settle in but the time and effort taken by his teacher is much appreciated.
She is a credit to her profession. The activities provided are excellent and the facilities also look top-notch. We have also started receiving updates on what is planned for the next week. Activities the children will be doing and how that will help them develop are sent to us on the Tapestry account as are photos of what my son has been up to the previous week. A lovely place to send your little one.

Our daughter has been attending Fennies Bromley since the age of ten months. She is now nearly four years old and as such, has been a part of the nursery from the baby room right through to the preschool room. As first-time parents we were nervous about choosing the 'right' nursery. Will she make friends?
Will she have fun and learn? Will we be kept informed as to how she is getting on? As we near the end of our time at Fennies Bromley, we could not have chosen a better nursery. She's developed cognitively, emotionally and socially and much, if not all of that is due to the efforts of the attentive, caring and patient staff. Every staff member takes their time to talk with us at pick-up times, not just her key person. Whether it's planning activities at Christmas or when it's snowing or uploading content onto the app, it really feels to us that they care about our daughter's development and share in the same pride that we have for our daughter. We wouldn't change a thing.

We are really enjoying our experience with Fennies Bromley. The management team is ambitious and strives for continuous improvement! We moved our son to Fennies Bromley after being let down by the previous nursery last November. We were really struggling and from day one, from the managers to the teachers,
they could not have been more understanding and supportive. It took my son a while to settle into the new environment, however all staff, particularly his key worker has been working tirelessly to look after him, encourage him in various ways and has made a real impact on him. He is now very much enjoying all the fun and stimulating activities and playing happily with his friends. I particularly like how the teachers from preschool room share their observation of "next steps" for each child and have the activities planning chart with parents, asking for each individual child's interests. It really shows their efforts in providing bespoke learning packages to each individual child. Highly recommended!

Fennies Bromley is truly a wonderful environment for children to learn and be nurtured. The nursery staff has been like a second family to my sweet grandson. The key worker system works very well and I have always felt well informed of my grandchild’s development, any challenges and well supported should
there be something to work through that I have noticed at home. The care, love and encouragement the children receive to explore and develop at the nursery are fantastic. The range of activities the children are involved in is excellent. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Fennies Bromley. It’s a superb, warm and nurturing environment where my little grandson has flourished. I am hugely grateful for the support, care and efforts all the nursery staff, chef, caretaker and management go to in order to ensure my grandchild have a wonderful nursery experience.

My 7-month-old started at Fennies in February this year. I was nervous about him being away from me as he is both very young and, due to the pandemic, has not been around many other people. I shouldn’t have worried at all! He has settled so well, is doing brilliantly developmentally and is always very
happy to go to all the kind, smiley and professional staff. I could not be happier! I am able to go to work knowing that he is in safe and caring hands and enjoy often seeing updates and pictures on the parent/staff communication app which as a parent means the world and immediately alleviates any mum guilt I may have had. I am an Early Years Teacher myself and therefore am always very interested in other Early Years settings. I can honestly say that I have been nothing but impressed with Fennies. On top of this staff have actually gone out of their way to assist my husband and I when we were in need of early morning sessions and additional days. I would highly recommend it!

The staff at Fennies are the most caring, helpful and happy people! From the manager to the chef, cleaners and teachers, everyone is welcoming, friendly and happy to help. At the beginning of the day, you can take as much time as you want to explain how your little one's morning has gone, from what
they have eaten to how they have slept. When you pick them up you are given a breakdown on how your little one's day went, from what they ate, how they behaved, what they enjoyed, if they had been cheeky, how they slept etc. No detail is spared, which is extremely helpful for a worrying first-time mum!
A big hats off to the manager and her team for doing such an amazing job, it's so nice to see staff enjoy where they work and genuinely care and take interest in the little ones they look after. Our little one was 9 months old when she started nursery, she cried for 3 - 4 days at the beginning whilst getting used to a new environment, and now can't wait to see her teachers!
Definitely recommend it here!

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.036)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.036) out of 10 for Fennies Bromley, Blyth Road is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 7 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 4.964 for Fennies Bromley, Blyth Road is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 4.072 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fennies Bromley, Blyth Road is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 94 number of registered child places is 18.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.8 = 0.372

  • 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.
