My daughter has been at Little Elms since the Bromley branch opened in 2023 and she loves it there! The staff are amazing, so friendly and they teach the children a lot, like phonics and letter writing. My daughter has grown in confidence since joining. They are also really reliable and don't close
readily- the last nursery we used closed a lot due to staffing issues and they'd send the children home at the first sign of illness. Little Elms has never closed and take a practical approach to minor illness, which as a working parent is essential. Little Elms regularly do nice extras for the children, like events for special days, and bringing a photographer in. We would recommend Little Elms to anyone.

I'm very happy with my child attending Little Elms Bromley, he started at the end of October and the staff have been wonderful in helping to settle him, especially his key worker! They've always made me feel very welcome and reassured me along the way as I was quite nervous to leave him. The nursery
has a lovely homely feel and the staff are always very friendly. Would 100% recommend.

Happy and caring environment. Lots of stimulating activities and toys for all the children. Well-organised, efficient with great communication. My little one has been there a year and loves going in. He feels well-loved and supported.

My son attends Bromley Little Elms, which is such a lovely nursery with a family-type feel and caring staff. I think management are so helpful and supportive and always keep us up to date with all the latest. I wouldn't want my son to go anywhere else, he loves it here.

Staff and management team are always welcoming and try to help me deal with my son's comportment on a daily basis. We started a 6 week program to understand triggers and how we can deal with them. I have been informed that it is a long process, but very helpful with the assistance received.

I've had an incredible experience so far!
My daughter is 3 years old and has been very well received by everyone, especially as she doesn't speak English.
She loves her aunts, and she loves going to school.
Thank you so much for all your care and affection.

Lovely friendly staff, love the regular updates throughout the day via the app and feedback of the day at pick up.
Welcoming, clean and vibrant environment. My almost 2 year old is getting more confident with each visit, with a smile on his face at the end of the day.

My daughter has been going to Little Elms Bromley since September 2024.
She was 10 months when starting and had been at another nursery previously so the change was a little challenging.
All the staff in Doves room have been fantastic in her settling-in period, updating me and my husband with everything
needed.
She's now 4 months on and loves going to nursery for 2 days a week, smiling when seeing the staff, coming out with big smiles. So many activities done during the day, all updated on app and told about at pick up.
I can't recommend this nursery enough and can't wait to continue to see her develop.
Thank you all!!

My daughter started Little Elms when she was just 5 months old and is now 2 weeks off turning 1. I have watched her grow in confidence with the support of the staff in the Doves room and any new staff to the room make sure they bond with her. They send regular updates on how she is developing and what
she is doing throughout the day. When I have had questions about stages of weaning etc her key workers have always taken time to discuss the next steps and how they will do it. The management knows every child by name and always makes an effort to talk to the parents. I highly recommend Little Elms it is a fantastic setting.

Our granddaughter (who is chatty and noisy at home) started off shy and hardly saying a word when she joined, but over the months, the lovely staff have brought her out of herself, little by little. She loves Owls, and especially when she has the opportunity to go to the cabin. The preschool activities
are perfect. As a retired primary headteacher, I know what a good preschool is, and this is it! Well done Little Elms.

Little Elms is a great nursery. My 2 year old daughter has been very happy and is always excited to go. She knows the staff by name and had a great relationship with her key adults.
The staff are lovely too, very approachable and easy to speak to and happy to listen to any concerns or worries.

I chose this nursery primarily because it is close to my home, and it was my child's first nursery experience. As a first-time parent with no prior experience, I was initially sceptical. However, the staff at The Little Elms are being extremely polite and caring. On several occasions, my son was upset
when we left him, but the staff reassured us that they would take good care of him and updated us until he settled. I am genuinely delighted with my choice of The Little Elms as my son's first learning environment. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Robins team for their kindness and care toward my child.

Fantastic daycare with good infrastructure, clean premises, caring staff and delicious food. I love my son's room (doves) staff especially. Everyone is friendly, security is good, there is a variety of activities for babies, and staff genuinely seem to love taking care of kids.

My son has been at this setting since it opened. We have been at other nursery settings across the UK and locally, and therefore, have seen various ways of managing and how key workers interact. Little Elms has by far been a setting which has provided my son with so much care, love and understanding.
This is not just from my son's key person, but all staff, from other rooms, in the office and the wonderful lady in the kitchen. The staff continuously keep us updated throughout the day, is always quick to answer my messages via the app and in no way makes me feel like a bother for asking too many questions. The nursery is always busy with the children doing various activities, and in doing so, send lovely baked goods home, artwork or update us through the app. My son loves his setting and who he is around and that is what is most important. I get to engage frequently with staff on drop offs and pick ups, and get to hear about his day and any upcoming events the nursery plans.

I want to thank all the workers at Little Elms Daycare Nursery Bromley Common; especially those who cook the food for our children. She is a professional and lovely person.
As parents, we are aware that our children are a bit complicated to eat, but I am grateful for Little Elms Bromley Common. I
will take care of copying some of the food recipes that she cooks for them; to make it easier to feed our son.
Again, many thanks to all the preschool teachers. I really appreciate your kind attitude toward him. As effect, our son always wants to see his teachers again, as you know, our great happiness is to see our children happy.

My son started at Little Elms Bromley when he turned one in September and the team there has been amazing, helping him settle in so quickly. He now doesn’t look back at drop offs and you can see how comfortable he is with his key staff member and others in the team. The updates and pictures on the app
give a nice insight into their day-to-day and show him being involved and having fun with different activities.

I started my little boy at Little Elms when he was 10 months old in the summer 2023. I had initial anxieties, naturally, about whether he would nap, eat, and settle in ok generally.
All of my anxiety was lifted after just a couple of weeks. He was napping in a cot regularly, accepting a combination
of spoon-fed meals and finger foods and he eventually began to seem happy when handed over to the staff.
All of the staff in the baby room are exceptionally good at what they do. They send regular updates and photos about babies' progression and activities and it's clear that enjoy their jobs and are passionate about the children they look after.
The management team are also brilliant, good and effective with communication with parents and it's clear they lead a happy team.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.934)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.934) out of 10 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Bromley 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.934 for Little Elms Daycare Nursery Bromley is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 213 Ratings = 4.934

  • 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 Elms Daycare Nursery Bromley is based on 18 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 47 number of registered child places is 9.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
