Little Sunshine's Bromley, registered in 2022, operates out of Holmesdale Football Club in Bromley, catering to children aged 1 to 4 years. The setting provides a full day of childcare from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday, for 50 weeks of the year, offering free early education for eligible children.
The nursery focuses on supporting children's emotional security and safety, with staff fostering warm relationships and providing reassurance. They effectively identify and support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) by using targeted strategies and collaborating with expert partners to ensure appropriate funding and learning support.
While children are happy and engage in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities that spark their interest, the report highlights inconsistencies in staff training and curriculum structure, which can hinder the consistent development of new skills and knowledge. However, parents consistently express happiness with the care their children receive and find the information about their children's learning helpful.
Our ethos
Our educational philosophy embraces the Curiosity Approach, which views children as capable, curious and creative individuals. We use natural, open-ended resources and authentic materials to spark wonder and imagination, combined with the UK's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. The Curiosity Approach is a modern early years pedagogy that values slowing down, using natural and authentic resources, and creating calm, inspiring environments. We move away from bright plastic toys towards wooden, natural and real-life materials that encourage open-ended play and deeper thinking. Children are free to explore at their own pace, ask questions, make connections and develop critical thinking skills. This approach nurtures creativity, independence and a genuine love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
What it's like
Leaders do not always train new staff in a timely manner, which leads to inconsistencies in teaching new skills and knowledge. Despite this, children are happy and explore both indoor and outdoor areas. However, the curriculum is not consistently structured for individual children, which hinders their learning.

Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
Staff identify children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They use strategies to support children to understand and follow instructions, which promotes their learning. Leaders ensure that children with SEND receive the support they need to succeed and work closely with expert partners, linking funding to learning needs.
Children explore the outdoor areas and select from activities that spark their interest. Staff understand that it is important for children to spend time outdoors and plan daily opportunities for fresh air. Children enjoy physical activities like jumping, sliding, climbing, and playing with sand and water, supporting their physical development.
I’ve been taking my children to this nursery for a while now, and I can’t recommend it enough! The staff are absolutely amazing — so caring, professional, and great at what they do. They always go above and beyond to make sure my kids are happy, settled, and having fun. I’ve seen how well they adapt to the environment, and it’s clear the practitioners put a lot of effort into making them feel comfortable and supported. My kids love it here, and I feel confident knowing they’re in such a great place. What really stands out to me is how much the staff care about my kids’ development. They really focus on helping them grow and learn at their own pace, and I can see it every day in how excited and engaged my children are. They’ve come such a long way, and it’s clear the staff put so much effort into making sure they’re thriving. Plus, there’s such a great sense of community here — not just for the kids, but for the parents too. It honestly feels like we’re all part of one big, supportive family.
Read on GoogleWe couldn’t be happier with our experience at this daycare/preschool! My girls have been attending since they were 2, and it’s been amazing to watch them grow and thrive in such a loving, nurturing environment. The teachers and staff are amazing—they genuinely care about each child’s well-being and growth. are incredibly dedicated and the activities are always engaging. They offer a perfect balance of fun and learning, and our girls are always excited to go and come home excited to share what they’ve learned each day. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful place for them to grow and make lasting friendships. The owner Ozlem is such a wonderful person, very dedicated to her job, who always goes above and beyond to do nice things for the kids(lots of trips, parties during the year), my kids love her! I highly recommend this daycare to any parents looking for a safe, fun, and enriching environment for their little ones.
Read on GoogleI would not recommend this nursery for your children, if your child falls over and grazes themselves (Which most 2 year olds do) Social services get called, they take a very long time to contact you regarding anything else like money back etc but over marks on your children that are CLEARLY accidental marks on a toddler, they will ring social services, I'm guessing it makes them feel like a hero, police AND social services both agreed the marks on the child were accidental toddler marks. Extremely young girls running the nursery which is worrying when really young girls are looking after so many children all day and it's ran unprofessional. My child now goes darrick wood nursery and I have had NO problems with marks, bumps and she's been there for a year now. Sending my daughter to this nursery was the worse decision I ever made and I would STRONGLY advise you look elsewhere.
Read on GoogleSince my child starts going at this nursery she is more happier and more engaged in activities. The place is amazing they have nice indoors and outdoors activities . The staff is lovely and caring, I always receive an daily written feedback about my child's activities, eating and sleeping.The food is healthy and cooked daily according to the weekly menu. When I collect my child from the nursery she is clean, lovely and happy . I am really pĺesed about this nursery.
Read on GoogleMy 18mth old little girl absolutely loves Little Sunshines and all the lovely staff there. She was a typical ‘lockdown baby’, very clingy to me and quite anti social, but going to nursery here has helped her so much with socialising and confidence. The staff were brilliant at helping her settle in and she now goes in very happily. They have a lovely setting on the cricket green and do lots of fun and engaging activities with the children. Highly recommend.
