Little Cubs has been great for our son. He's made loads of nice friends, always doing different activities that keep him excited and engaged, especially the forest school. Also love that it's run by people who have similar aged kids, so they understand what is needed and they care, don't just run it
like a business. Oh yes, and the food is really healthy and tasty. At least it looks and smells tasty, haven't been invited for lunch yet!

It has been great getting to know the owner's as well as the headteacher and deputy. My husband and I really feel we have connected with them. It was really hard at first moving from overseas to an unfamiliar place, and it was very daunting finding a nursery, while at the same time my husband was settling
into his new job, and we were adapting to our new home. The nursery has been amazing. We can't wait for them to open on the 1st of June, as we have had no family around to help us in recent weeks. They have such an amazing curriculum, and the space is huge, we are confident we have made the right decision. Best wishes to all at Little Cubs Academy Greenwich.

Such a fantastic addition to Greenwich. It's amazing having a nursery that's actually run by parents with young children themselves, so they really understand what creates happy and secure children. When you meet the owners you can see they are deeply passionate about what they do, and take immense
pride in offering brilliant child care and education. The curriculum is so varied, and they have really invested in creating a stunning natural environment.

My son is two and started at Little Cubs Academy in February this year. It was his first time starting nursery, and he is loving it! Even after a month, he developed a lot. The staff are warm and friendly and take great care of my boy. Thank you.

I have never written a review before but I felt strongly about writing one as I want to show my appreciation to Little Cubs and the new owners. All my children have been at the nursery over a period of many years and so I was concerned about the new owners taking over in 2019. These fears quickly vanished
when I could see that they have a really strong understanding of running a nursery and also listen to parents! It is evident that the safety, security and emotional well being of the children is paramount to them and they also have dramatically improved the look and feel of the nursery so that it is a calm environment but also stimulating. I can honestly say I can drop my third child off there and not have a worry in the world. I am just excited to pick up my child and hear what they did at nursery. The staff have been at the nursery for a number of years so there really is a community and family feel. I just recommended the nursery to my neighbour and she even spoke to the owner.

Such a delightful nursery and pre-school. My granddaughter loves going, and whenever I go to pick her up the children seem to be enjoying themselves so much. They have fantastic facilities, the staff and owners are incredibly sweet, and we could not be happier.

Very happy with the nursery and pre-school, all the staff are lovely and we were made to feel very welcome. They work very hard to achieve high standards, and there is a great balance between care and education. My son really likes the food and the activities.

My son was very happy at the nursery. He did not want to come home, he enjoyed going in so much. They have really added to their offering by adding so many outdoor activities such as forest school and trips to the local farm.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) out of 10 for Little Cubs Academy Greenwich Nursery & Pre-School 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 Little Cubs Academy Greenwich Nursery & Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (261 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 275 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 Little Cubs Academy Greenwich Nursery & Pre-School is based on 23 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 23 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.
