Couldn't rate the nursery or its team higher! I had originally reserved my child's spot whilst I was pregnant based on the lovely facilities and the vibe from the staff but nothing prepares you for actually handing your baby over that first day. As a first time mama who had a very rough start with a poorly baby, my anxiety of leaving my chunk was through the roof. The team couldn't have stepped up more. Not only did we have prep meetings with the managers and the SENCO coordinator but even with the day 1 settle they take on every little detail about your baby - the more the better - so they can get to know them as fast as possible. All of the staff are amazing, they're all so kind and caring and make you feel comfortable leaving - even on rough days they'll send updates within 10 mins. The food, the activities and the learning is next level - they eat better than we do! And it's so heart warming how they do reports on your child's development. It's a gold star!

Love Fennies! My daughter's transition into nursery was tougher than we had expected initially with a lot of unsettled days. Everyone at Fennies made sure that her transition into nursery was the smoothest possible by providing that extra care. The learning at Fennies is exceptional - the amount of activities, artwork and resources at the nursery is wonderful and my daughter has learned so many things since joining the nursery. The food at Fennies is cooked fresh every day by the in-house staff and ensures to provide all the balanced nutrition required for children. They also cater to all sorts of dietary restrictions which was a big plus for us as we eat halal! I would recommend Fennies to any new parents in the area given the cleanliness, resources and especially the wonderful staff.

Every single staff member at Fennies Eltham has helped to make our son's transition to nursery life an incredibly welcoming experience. We couldn't have hoped for a better team to lead him on this journey - they are attentive and caring and always take the time to make sure he's content and looked after. We are constantly amazed and impressed by his development since he started at Fennies Eltham just over a year ago. We have experienced staff turnover, both administratively and in terms of day-to-day care of our son which, at times, could have been better communicated and we do hope that Fennies aren't limited in their ability to retain valued staff members who forge special connections with our children. Overall, the facilities are clean and modern, the staff are always planning exciting age-appropriate activities for the children, the garden is huge and our son loves spending time outside in the mud kitchen.

The team helped us when our previous childcare had closed their doors at short notice. My son had a tricky time settling given the interruption and change he was experiencing. The team were incredibly supportive, constantly sharing and finding ways to help him settle. They persevered constantly and soon enough he was back to his happy, chatty self. My son bonded very quickly with his key worker who provided some great structure and support allowing for him to feel safe and well looked after.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for a year now and she couldn't be any happier here. She is thriving in every area. She is stimulated, encouraged, loved and so happy at nursery which as a mother, makes me extremely happy and content. Although one of the more expensive childcare providers, Fennies Eltham goes above and beyond my expectations in providing for my daughter and I wouldn't change a thing. I would recommend this nursery to all parents.

I have two children currently at Fennies and my eldest has been going there since September 2022. Both children will remain there until they set off for Primary school. In my experience, the nursery manager and all staff have a caring and safe culture. There is always a warm welcome and a comforting sense of community within all rooms. Both of my children have formed great bonds with their keyworkers and through a range of play and daily organised activities, they are thriving and continuously learning new skills. In addition to the daily organised activities, there is a focus on individual development for each of my children to hit their next 'milestone' providing observations of these and suggestions for next steps on their everyday development. There is a great variety on the rotational weekly menus and the app is super informative if I want to be nosey at what my little ones are up to! I would highly recommend Eltham Fennies!

Fennies Eltham is a wonderful nursery that took good care of my son. He was only there for 8 months after transferring from another nursery then left to go to primary school. In his time there we noticed a big change in him, his independence skills, his social skills and his listening skills. He was very happy there and the facilities were good. I liked that Fennies as a company also offer lots of additional support in terms of online courses to educate parents, they celebrated lots of events and festivals and were very inclusive. We were sad to say goodbye.

Fennies Eltham has been so supportive during our time with the nursery. Our daughter has only been going a month and they have really been supportive with the settling-in period. They have built a bond with my daughter really quickly and have been very accommodating with me needing regular updates

My boy has been going to this nursery since he was 1 he absolutely loves it. He has developed so many skills and developments which the nursery have taught him. The manager and her team are amazing and make him feel loved and cared for. The facilities are top class along with nutrition. Worth every penny!

Our son has been going to Fennies since October 2021. The carers in his room provide so much love, dedication, patience and make every day a fun environment. As a first time mum I couldn’t ask for better carers, I can see my boy enjoying his time at Fennies and growing up happy which is all that matters. It’s a relief to us as parents to know that when we drop him off every morning he will be really taken care of!

Fennies has been amazing to help my daughter settle in quickly. Her bond to her keyworker was earned and now she babbles about her every single night! One thing I love about this nursery in particular compared to our previous is the planning and activities. Although children have free roam for play, which is important, they are also being targeted for individual goals and provided with a vast range of activities that stimulate. I’ve seen water play, messy play, arts and crafts, puzzles, storytelling, play dough and many more on the tables for children to explore and engage. My daughter has thrived here and continuously has opportunities for themed days. Recently there have been special events for parents such as breakfasts-on-the-go, Easter family afternoon and a coronation picnic. It is lovely to be involved and appreciated as parents. But to know my child is well taken care of so I can work without a worry about her safety and education during the day.
