“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this daycare – it truly feels like a second home for our children. The team has been absolutely amazing, always going above and beyond, especially when it comes to making special events like birthdays memorable. The staff are not only professional but also incredibly kind, caring, and accommodating. It’s clear how much they genuinely care about the children, and our kids have absolutely loved their time here. The only reason we’re leaving is because we’re moving to Australia, and honestly, one of the hardest parts of this move is having to take our children out of a place where they feel so safe, happy, and comfortable. We’ll forever be grateful for the love and support this daycare has given our family. Thank you for everything – we’ll miss you dearly!”

“After visiting many centres, including some way closer to home, I can fully vouch for New Shoots Greenhithe. Everything is welcoming there: the teachers, the staff and the space. It is open, peaceful, full of light and surrounded by nature. I felt very supported on the early weeks where everything was new. Now, after 6 months, I can confidently say that NSGH was the best decision we could have made. I am amazed to see how my daughter is thriving, learning new things everyday, having fun no matter the weather outside. I can feel in our daily interactions how much the teachers and other staff care for her and she also shows she loves to be there by happily talking about them all the time. I highly and honestly recommend them.”

“New shoots Greenhithe has been amazing for my son. The team there are always friendly and helpful, and my son absolutely loves being there. They do so many activities from the arts and play, to learning language, science and numbers as they progress through to preschool. The food is always incredible and a great variety on offer to build developing palates.”
