Rated Good by Ofsted (August 2017), South Bermondsey Nursery & Pre-School provides childcare and education to children from birth to 5 years old.

The Nursery is in Bermondsey, not far from the station. It's a bright, modern setting with separate rooms and gardens for different age groups.

The experienced staff plan each day with help from the children. There are lots of activities to try. From obstacle courses to cooking, gardening to modelling clay, painting, and dialogic reading – no day is the same! Families can join in too, with special days dedicated to cultures from around the world.

A dedicated on-site chef prepares all meals using recipes from LEYF’s nutritious menu.

South Bermondsey has cared for both my children so I have known them for 6 years and I couldn't have made a better choice. The is a consistent and decent turnover rate which helps continuity in child settling, development and learning. They listen to their kid's preferences when planning the activities
and help them learn in a very natural way. As they reach preschool, the routine is similar to a reception room and supports them in the transition to school. I love the staff, always helpful and caring. Inhouse chef who cooks from scratch and gets kids involved with food. I would recommend South Bermondsey to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy place to care for their children.

We are thrilled with South Bermondsey Nursery. Our 1-year-old son loves it there. From day one the baby room team did a fantastic job helping him to settle in. They are patient, attentive, caring and adapt to each child’s needs. It’s lovely to see our son growing and learning in a safe and supportive
environment.

My daughter goes to babies room and the girls there are absolutely amazing. They do a lot of activities, they cater for each kid and my daughter loves going there. She literally picks up her shoes and waits at the door to go to nursery. The food is also good taking in account I can see she’s having
seconds of it.
All in all I recommend the nursery for their teachers and also for the facilities (each room has its designated outdoor space for kids of similar age).

My son has been attending My Favourite Nursery (south Bermondsey nursery and pre-school) for over 7 months now and he is so happy there – it feels like a second home to him. All of the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide him with so much care, attention and positivity. I have always
found the key workers to be very communicative and the management.
I would highly recommend South Bermondsey nursery and pre-school to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my son.

The nursery has been good for us and our child. Settling in process was great, staff gave feedback at the end of the day. Flexible staffing means all children have connections with all staff, even if not in their set rooms.
Consistency with the app is a big letdown if you’re not on collection or there
are a few parents at pick up at once. Our daughter has made friends well and as a parent, felt welcomed by all the staff.

Many thanks from the heart for all your hard work, love, dedication, patience to the children, and for keeping personal belongings in order, helping with potty training, caring when they were not feeling well and making every day a fun environment to go to which was also very important. Amazing Nursery.

We have been so happy with this nursery for both our children. The brilliant staff work incredibly hard and are professional and kind. They feel like part of our family and take such good care. The activities and trips are varied and thoughtful. The manager and deputy are available and approachable,
always taking action and feeding back about any issues (not that we've had many as everything runs so well). We are really grateful for such a calm, loving, and happy environment for our little one.

My daughter has attended this nursery for over a year and a half and she enjoys it so much, she sometimes does not want to go home straight away at the end of the day. The staff are amazing with the kids and the nursery has been my daughter's second home. The staff have taught my daughter many things
and she is now ready for school.
I recommend the nursery 100%.

Great nursery. My son really enjoys the staff. He seems really happy there. He does tons of fun activities and usually comes home clean even after painting. The only issue is with the summaries of their day's system is frequently down.

A fabulous little nursery - my eldest started there when it first opened, and my second is just going into pre-school, and both kids have loved their time there. The outdoor space and mud kitchen are huge hits, and the variety of activities the kids can get involved with is very welcome - tired, happy
kids come home at the end of the day. The deputy manager is a star, full of energy and makes lots of time for both kids and parents.

Reply from Carolina Vieira, Deputy Manager at South Bermondsey Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you for taking the time to review the nursery. We are happy that you and your daughters have/are enjoying your time at South Bermondsey. We are looking forwards to continuing to share our experiences with you, and to her yummy treats in our mud kitchen.

Our daughter has been going to South Bermondsey nursery for a couple of months now and the change in her is amazing! She has developed incredibly since attending, in all areas - speech, mobility, eating, sign language etc.
She is so excited in the morning when we say ‘nursery’ and runs in to see everyone.
The
staff are excellent, you can tell they genuinely care for the children and really enjoy their jobs. Communication is also good and we’re given a daily update - how she’s slept, what she ate, what activities they did, what she did/didn’t enjoy etc. They also send us pictures of her doing various activities during the day.
Our experience could not have been more positive and we’re so pleased we chose this nursery.

Reply from Carolina Vieira, Deputy Manager at South Bermondsey Nursery & Pre-School

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about the nursery. We are proud of not only the team that we have but also of our families and how well our children have adapted to the nursery, despite current world events. We look forwards to continuing our journey with you and your family, with many more happy memories to come.

This is a lovely nursery with caring, professional staff. The space is great, the kids have lots of room, and a good outdoor space. They do plenty of activities, including lots of messy play, learning about food and textures, etc. Our little boy is very happy here. The group is non-profit and provides
places for disadvantaged kids as well as fully paid places. Despite this, the fees are slightly slower than most other local nurseries. All-round, this is a brilliant nursery.

The nursery is quite lovely, very caring and engaged. The staff does change quite a lot but management has made some improvements in the last year. The management has a very tough old school approach to parents but seems ok to the kids. I would say that they are very hard to read. Kids seem happy and
healthy and the hours are decent too. Definitely recommend.

South Bermondsey Community Nursery is an amazing nursery. I love staffing facilities and activities. They offer amazing balanced food to the kids and take great care of the children. My only worry is that they have a large staff pool so you see new faces very often. Really happy overall. Will definitely
recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.328)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.328) out of 10 for South Bermondsey Nursery & 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 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 4.807 for South Bermondsey Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.807

  • 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 4.521 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for South Bermondsey Nursery & Pre-School 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.521

  • 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.
