However they both now go for 3 full days which is 10hours -a day and I am so comfortable whilst they are there that I am now able to go to work in Chislehurst and do my job rather than having to WFH and wait for a call to collect them. (I had to give up my London job because i was needed at home so much) They are both at the nursery for the whole of their 10hours a day and I do not get one phone call to say i have to go and get them. When i drop them off the boys are welcome with open arms and when we collect them, the staff especially their keyworker take the time to stand outside and tell me all about the boys day and how much fun they have had. Our boys are not just there for numbers or headcount they are there as part of a family and they have the best time. I will be very sad when the time comes for them to start infant school. Thank you Julie and all the staff you an amazing job.\nPlease don't listen or read poor reviews from the nursery it once was that do not reflect on the nursery it is today!

At the previous nursery they only did 2 half days and I was called almost everytime to go and collect them because they just could not cope with the extra attention they required. However they both now go for 3 full days which is 10hours -a day and I am so comfortable whilst they are there that I am now able to go to work in Chislehurst and do my job rather than having to WFH and wait for a call to collect them. (I had to give up my London job because i was needed at home so much) They are both at the nursery for the whole of their 10hours a day and I do not get one phone call to say i have to go and get them. When i drop them off the boys are welcome with open arms and when we collect them, the staff especially their keyworker take the time to stand outside and tell me all about the boys day and how much fun they have had. Our boys are not just there for numbers or headcount they are there as part of a family and they have the best time. I will be very sad when the time comes for them to start infant school. Thank you Julie and all the staff you an amazing job. Please don't listen or read poor reviews from the nursery it once was that do not reflect on the nursery it is today! Take a visit and see for yourself and make your own mind up. My husband and I highly recommend it xx [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURCaUxtaFpnEAE!2m1!1s0x47df35dc8a6a15ff:0xf1125142bd01d94f) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLnq26ZNHuDzc_0vejDR3M_UCu6tuI8BTpDaLMwsUCbe_qO1g=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Charlotte Adams 3 years ago My daughter currently attends and loves all her little friends. She has recently moved from Toddlers to Preschool and has built up good, strong relationships with her keyperson in each room. She always asks me when shes going to "school" next. I find she comes home having learned something new every visit. Positive, informative and family oriantated little nursery. We're very happy here.
