Fantastic nursery with such friendly staff. My daughter loves it here, they have been so helpful in getting her settled and she loves going in. The facilities and set-up are lovely and there is such a lovely atmosphere here, would highly recommend it.

As a mum returning to work, I couldn’t be happier and more relieved about the high-quality provision and care my 2-year-old receives. She loves attending Little Treacles and talks fondly about the staff and her friends there, even on the days she doesn’t attend. They are incredibly welcoming, friendly, patient and accommodating (to name but a few!) We are so grateful that our daughter goes in happily and without any hesitation. She is provided wonderful experiences to support her development and the communication from staff about her day is great. Her independence is nurtured and key skills are promoted daily. We were thrilled that they offered after-school care and holiday clubs - our eldest equally loves being at Little Treacles! The nursery just radiates warmth and care in wanting to give all children there the best opportunities, as well as supporting busy, working parents!

We have two kids at Little Treacles after school club and they love it! They are very well taken care of, the inside of the building has been repainted and cleaned beautifully and filled with lots of things for the kids to do and play with. The staff are fantastic and the kids really enjoy their time there after school. They also offer tea for the kids which saves us as parents a lot of time after collection. Excellent nursery and I would highly recommend it!

I really liked the feel of Little Treacles and it is such a relief to think we may have found the right fit. I get good vibes.

My son seems to be settling really well, he's very happy when we pick him up and has been excitedly telling us about his time with you, so thank you!

We couldn't be more delighted with Little Treacles. My daughter (3) is clearly very happy there. All the staff are so open and welcoming, and we always get a run-down of what they've been doing that day. We receive regular updates & photos via the app.
The nursery has its own allotment, so the children have been going over there this summer. They regularly go to the Otford playground & library. My daughter even went on a trip on the train to Sevenoaks to deliver some donations to a foodbank. She was so excited to go on her first "school trip". They also had some (ethically sourced) duck eggs which hatched and the children just loved watching them grow and looking after them until they were then re-homed. My older daughter (6) has also attended the Little Treacles holiday club and she absolutely loves it and always asks to go back. For anyone that was familiar with the previous nursery at this site, the two business couldn't be more different. After Kelly took it over, the hall has been totally re-painted and they have far better toys and resources for the children, and are much better at communication. I had a good feeling about Little Treacles from the outset, but nearly a year later we are still super happy with them. Definitely recommend!

I have been incredibly impressed with the staff at Little Treacles from day one when we enquired with them Summer 2023 when we saw they were taking over a previous nursery on the same site. Sam and Kelly were thorough in their information and were very flexible in their approach. Every care has been taken for allergy concerns. I love that the staff have taken the extra time to get to know parents and welcome them inside for pickup and you don't feel rushed out the door. They provide so many extras that you would not get at other nurseries - making homemade bread, taking the kids to their own allotment, teaching the children important life skills with rearing the nursery baby ducks, making homemade lavender playdough. Just fantastic! We receive daily updates via the app and weekly newsletters of what the children have learned that week. We are looking forward to their family fun day in July! Thank you to all the staff for taking such good care of our childre

My son has been going to Little Treacle's since they opened in October 2023. The staff there are incredibly welcoming and lovely. My son has come on leaps and bounds with his social skills and has made lots of lovely friends. He is always very happy to go in nursery and actually asks me if he can go to nursery on his day off with me. I would highly recommend this nursery. The nursery itself is always very clean and has lots of lovely toys and a nice outdoor area - they do lots of brilliant activities

"Little Treacles" long it seemed we waited,
for you to open your doors
and we were all quite elated.
You are all a breath of fresh air
and it was obvious from the start
that you all care.
Through all the toddler highs and lows,
I've watched my child grow.
Through all the staff's love and care,
I know he's happy to be there!
I know it mustn't come with ease,
so with that in mind,
please know I'm giving you all an appreciative squeeze...

My son started at Little Treacles at 10 months old and I’ve felt he’s in safe and caring hands since his first day! The staff are all so lovely and the nursery has a very homely feeling. We get regular updates via an app including photos and it’s lovely to see all the different activities that he gets to take part in. At pick up I always get a rundown of his day and it’s clear that the staff know him very well despite him only attending once a week. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a nursery in Sevenoaks.
