PreSchools and Playgroups for Bromley

Christ Church Pre-School

Carey Scutt Scout Hall, Plaistow Lane, Bromley, Kent BR1 3AR, UK – 020 8249 2670

Although our son attended the setting for a relatively short period of time, his experience there was very rewarding and contributed to his social growth and skills development. The manager is competent with confidence and mature judgment. Staff are caring and friendly. The place is ALWAYS clean and tidy. The two owners are closely connected with their business, one of the owners is always there, available for questions and ready to help. GREAT PRESCHOOL Yasmine & Ted

This is by far the best preschool to enrol your child in Bromley. My daughters have been there for 2years now. They have both developed so much in learning and also in confidence. The teachers are amazing, always ready to listen to you and give advice if you have any questions or issue. My older daughter aged 4 now reads all by herself. I'm so grateful I chose this school for her foundation years. Beauty xx

Elmes Homecare Ltd

73 Barnfield Wood Rd, Beckenham BR3 6ST, UK – 0800 009 6926

When I fell over on the Bromley South railway station platform, it came to me in a flash that old age needs management! Since then after several falls and nearly a month in hospital, I became acutely aware that I needed help and support in a professional way. I came out of hospital lacking in confidence and I had the good fortune of being introduced to Elmes Homecare by the Chaplain here at Bromley College, which has been caring for retired clergy since 1666! As one does, I immediately had rapport with the Registered manager and his deputy and I instantly knew that this was the care company for me. Since then I have been totally happy and impressed with the level of care I receive from Elmes Homecare and the team. I have no hesitation in recommending Elmes Homecare to anyone who needs professional help and support in their needs. All of them go the extra mile and nothing is too much trouble. A wonderful company.

Elmes is a top quality care agency which offers everything under one umbrella. Nothing is ever to much to ask and I cannot thank them enough for your care and support through hard times. Highly recommended to anyone who is needing help within their own home.
