Les Enfantes Nursery - in Bromley

[mrsingh]

Hi, Would someone please share their personal experience with Les Enfante in Bromley? Their ofsted is quite good. The proprietor seemed quite inflexible in conversations though. Are they flexible with children or do they have very rigid routines. Is it good for as an all day setting?

Just thought i'd reply cos I did my college nursery placement when I was doing my childcare course at Les Enfants (altho this was in 2002 but the manager is still the same). I found it good...the staff were lovely and attentive, children well cared for. A number of children were left there all day and seemed happy. Infact my friend sent her son there on my recommendation! The two buildings are used just because there is not enough room in one building! Your child is put in the building which has the room for their age. Any other questions feel free to ask!

i also found the manager inflexible in conversation, has anyone else got something to add. I am having to move from an ideal childminder seting, however this is too far from where we now live. also dd now wants to mix with more children on a daily basis. les enfant had an outstsanind ofsted and is also the only nursery offering places in bromley south area for sept 08.

didn't like the fact that you pay full time fee in holidays and only get discount taken during term time, many other nurseries spread the cost, this is disruptive financially ad i think its their way of ensuring the get the most money in case you leave mid year??

already leaving a sour taste in my mind, since have avoided nurseries because thought they were money not care orientated.

anyone have expeience of childminder to nursery transistion? and les enfant in particular.
p.s staff and envionment seemed nice enough
