What it's like
Children build strong relationships with staff from the start. Staff tailor their interactions to help children to feel safe and secure, for example, by speaking to children in their home languages where possible. Pre-school children confidently explore a wide range of exciting activities and are curious to experiment, while babies and young children enjoy cuddles and snuggling up to staff to share books and rhymes.
Charges are structured as weekly fees for funded children, representing an optional Additional Services Charge (ASC). Families receiving 15 or 30 hours of funding pay a set weekly cost, which does not apply to those accessing Together for 2, EYPP, or fully funded placements.

Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
There are strong systems in place to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff have developed links with other professionals to gain an understanding of how to best to meet children's needs. As a result, there are detailed individual care plans in place and these children make good progress.
Babies have opportunities to pull themselves up and crawl on the climbing frame. Older children develop these skills further as they join in with action songs and run in the outdoor area.
I wholeheartedly recommend Little Elms in Greenwich 💛. The staff are incredibly warm, caring, and truly welcome my child with so much heart. As a mum, the separation process was not easy, but thanks to their support, everything became much smoother. I wasn’t just looking for a nursery where my child would spend time — I was searching for a second home, a place where she would feel safe, loved, and cared for. And we found exactly that at Little Elms. The atmosphere here is full of kindness, patience, and genuine care. My child goes in happily every day, and for me, that says it all. I completely trust them and feel so grateful for everything they do 🙏✨ Thanks to everyone🥹❤️ I highly recommend!!!!!
Read on GoogleThe staff members of this team are simply amazing. Their commitment to taking care of your child is genuine and unwavering. They make every effort to ensure that your child feels at ease and cared for, which had a positive impact on my son's eating habits and other etiquette. The nurturing environment also allowed him to adjust smoothly and embrace new learning experiences. I cannot commend the lovely staff members enough. Each one of them deserves applause.
Read on GoogleThis Nursery has done a really bad job at looking after our son. After spoken to a few other parents that took their kids out of here and having had our own experience we realized it was time for us to go our separate way with them. The high amount of staff turnover is part to blame for this and also tells you that its not a good work environment. Managers come as quick as they go. We've seen staff arguing here, shouting at kids and parents are badly advised, the list goes on..... They don't take proper care of the kids and staff lie to you a lot about everything. It's a real turn off to experience. They will also act like your child as never attended they nursery in response And pay staff to write reviews… And yes my son is attending a new nursery now. Ideally I would not change his nursery but I had no choice as a concerned mom.
Read on GoogleMy daughter has been attending Little Elms Peninsula for almost 8 months. The staff are very friendly and genuinely caring. They provide activities that support the children’s development, and the fact that there is a dedicated outdoor area is a great advantage. As a parent who visited all the nearby nurseries before making a decision, I can wholeheartedly recommend Little Elms without hesitation.
