Staff adapt the curriculum and play areas to include all children, providing children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) more space and resources. Managers and staff work closely with parents and other agencies to support children with SEND or those receiving additional funding, ensuring they receive the necessary support to bridge learning and development gaps.

Outdoor space

Babies and toddlers freely negotiate climbing equipment with gentle reminders from staff on how to do this safely. Pre-school children skilfully navigate the garden space when running and playing, avoiding bumping into their friends.

My grandsons first experience of a day nursery was when he attended Lottie’s, he began his journey in the toddler room and throughly enjoyed his time there! Quite quickly, we noticed a positive impact the nursery had on his communication skills and his overall confidence through staff interactions, learning opportunities provided and overall experience. They helped with his potty training transition and had tips to support us at home also. I would highly recommend!

Outstanding Nursery Experience from Baby Room to Pre-School! Lottie's day Nursery in Bromley has been an incredible place for my child from the very beginning — starting in the baby room and continuing all the way through to pre-school. The level of care, attention, and genuine love shown by the staff has been nothing short of amazing. Every member of the team is warm, friendly, and truly dedicated to creating a happy and safe environment for the children. My child has thrived here — learning, playing, and building confidence every day. It’s so reassuring as a parent to know your little one is not only well looked after, but genuinely happy and supported. Thank you to the entire team at Lottie's for the fantastic care and the wonderful start you've given my child. We’ll always be grateful!

Few years ago when my son was 3 years old we took him at this nursery. He was crying every morning when we left him there. We didn't know at that point why... Later on when was 7...he remember about this nursery..."I didn't like it there, they was screaming at me and punish me every day". How a child will remember this after years??? Don't leave your child there...are no cameras to see anything what's happening behind the walls.
