Parent Reviews
Our child has been going to Little Treacle's for over 6 months. The child is very happy in the setting and as parents we are equally happy with the way the nursery accommodates kids' preferences and interests, as well as their wellbeing. It's always tricky when kids are at a very young age and cannot communicate properly, but we feel the nursery staff and management are very attentive to their needs.
Since it reopened under new Management last year, the nursery is very popular locally and overall we're happy with the setting they have created for kids and the care they give them. I have no hesitation in recommending it to other parents thinking of choosing Little Treacle's for their little ones.

My daughter started only a few months ago and has settled so well. All the staff are so warm and welcoming. There are always lots of lovely toys and activities for her to do and I can see from her photo updates that she is loving it. I can also say that the food smells amazing! Highly recommend

We are so thrilled with Little Treacle's Nursery, where our son has been attending. He absolutely adores it, and it's clear why. The staff are exceptional-warm, attentive, and dedicated to keeping parents fully informed. At pickup, they provide a thorough handover, detailing his day, and they're always happy to take calls if we want an update, which offers such peace of mind. Since starting at Little Treacle's, our son's development has progressed remarkably; his learning and confidence have grown by leaps and bounds. He comes home beaming, chatting endlessly about how much he loves the nursery and the staff. We couldn't ask for a better environment for him!

My son started at Little Treacles Nursery in September and we couldn't be happy with the level of care he has received there. All the staff are absolutely brilliant, in particular my son's key worker and another staff member. He raves about them and what they've gotten up to every time we get home. We feel comfortable leaving him in their care and confident that he will be well looked after.
The actual nursery has a lovely set up, with plenty of choice of toys and activities and is always kept clean. The location is great as it's right next to a park and playing fields where the children are taken to often to get outdoor time.
We love that we get observations with photos and descriptions every time he's there so we can keep up to date with what he's doing.
In summary, we would highly recommend Little Treacles to anyone that is looking for a nursery for their little one.

We love Little Treacles! Our 3 year old daughter and 1 year old son attend the nursery and they couldn't be happier there. The team are professional, kind, caring and well trained in what they do which is everything that we that we want. We love that our children are constantly learning through play and exposed to many exciting experiences, both in the nursery including sports and dance lessons and further afield including a trip to the theatre and local soft play! The nursery leadership is impeccable, we feel that our children are exceptionally safe and nurtured in the environment and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Treacles to anyone!

"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...

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 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

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!

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
