Day Nurseries Owned by Bright Stars Nursery Group Ltd in Surrey

Our son loves his time at Little Forest Folk and is really thriving there. He's always happy to go in and enjoys spending so much time outdoors.

We moved him from a different nursery in the area at the beginning of the year and we are so glad we did. The staff are great and have always been kind, supportive and approachable. Most importantly, we trust them completely, which makes a huge difference as parents.

We've been really happy with our experience and would definitely recommend Little Forest Folk Winkworth to other families.

We removed our child because of safety concerns, and following the recently published Ofsted report this definitely makes us feel like we made the right decision. Concerns include food and allergy safety, and unfenced areas in the forest school near open water when children are allowed to play out of sight and earshot. The key worker system doesn't work because of such high staff turnover and so many agency staff. Very infrequent observations, despite telling parents they'd reviewed this and would be sending them every week we'd be lucky to get one a fortnight. Extremely poor communication from management about issues. It used to be a lovely place when it was a family owned business but it's been sold to a chain and has gone further and further downhill since.

My daughter started at the nursery in April, after coming from a large London nursery. We were concerned about how she'd be impacted by the change, but we shouldn't have been. She's been so happy at the nursery, she loves going in every morning and comes bouncing out at the end of every day, excited to tell us what she's been doing. The staff are all lovely and we've been so impressed with the communication, updates and activities - especially when they go out on local outings. We can't fault our experience and would highly recommend to other families.

We recommend this nursery to all looking for a safe fun place for their child. From the facilities to the staff and food and activities they are all 5 star and both my boys love it there. They have both come on leaps and bounds.

Lilliputs has been wonderful my daughter is 17months old and has been attending Lilliputs since she was 4 months old - highly recommend this nursery for their organised, fun and caring staff! My daughter always comes home super happy and never wants to leave!

From the very beginning, starting in baby room, we have had a great experience at Lilliput. It's never easy leaving your child in the care of others but our daughter has always loved going to nursery. Not only does she love going but her speech and development has significantly improved. Our second daughter starts at the nursery later this year and I am sure will have a great experience.

My daughter is my second child that I've now sent to Lilliput she started in the new year and she is loving it she's only 10 months old and has progressed just from the 2 days she's at the nursery a week. They were brilliant with my son and now have been good with my daughter I would definetly recommend it to anyone

The staff are all very friendly and warm. They clearly care about the children and give a lot of feedback about their day and their progress. They also make sure there are lots of settling in sessions before starting or moving up a class, which is reassuring and gives the child the time to adjust. The app is super useful - it's great to see what they are eating during the day and how much of it. The recent renovations look great too!

Our daughter has been at Liliputs since July 2025 and we have been so pleased with how much she loves her time there. The staff are so friendly, caring and supportive, always being so attentive and respectful to the children and parents.

Our daughter settled in so well when she first started in the baby room, and has since enjoyed moving up a room and exploring/learning more. The facilities are lovely, they are always doing activities and going outside, and the food is varied and nutritious.

The app has made it really easy to check in on how she is doing, communicate with management if needed, and best of all getting lovely photos and observations on what she's been up to and learning.

My eldest has been at Lilliput for 2 and a half years, and my littlest for 6 months now. They both absolutely love it and we're so happy with our choice! All of the staff are incredible, they put so much effort into creating fun activities and good learning activities. The multiple rooms allows for continuous exploration and development. They've invested so much recently into creating even lovelier spaces. The menu is incredible, they're focused on giving the children a healthy and varied diet. The focus on environment, looking after the chickens, planting in the garden is all wonderful. I would highly recommend Lilliput to any prospective parents, looking for a kind, nurturing, fun and educational environment for their kids!

The setting remains lovely & there is a lot of potential but the recent management and communication are poor.

Both my children attend Ashburton. My eldest has attended since a baby and is now in the Preschool room. We have really appreciated the consistency and friendliness of the staff.

They do interesting activities and my little ones particularly love the cooking club and all the crafts they do there. Often they have learning elements mixed in with their play e.g. phonics, counting etc. We get thorough updates from the staff at pickup and sometimes throughout the day via the app.

We like that they get outside often in the garden and always come home happily after a busy day!

Can't recommend the team at Ashburton enough, our eldest has had the most amazing time and always comes home with a smile. She does 3 days a week and absolutely loves it, her development and the activities that they provide are amazing and every staff member is so kind and happy to talk about how her day was. Our youngest will be attending soon when she's old enough.

I would totally recommend this nursery!

Our daughter started at Friends Forest in January at 11 months old. She has settled in so well! All of the team are so friendly, kind and caring. She has bonded so nicely with the staff and especially her keyworker. They have really helped her to become more confident and learn new skills, she is absolutely thriving! She comes home in such a good mood, can't thank the team enough!

I love this nursery! I think since my little one moved here he has thrived! He's speech has improved massively and is more confident and independent. He's able to identify more animals, colours and count better. The staff are lovely and I can tell Ray loves them as at home he's talking about his room leader and other staff members constantly and is always happy to be there running into the room at drop off. He also loves the ball sessions on a Thursday, leading me to get more similar sessions outside of nursery. I Also love the regular updates on what they've done in the week with pictures. I also love all the security measures here making me feel at ease. Totally recommend this nursery to everyone.

Shes really come out of her shell and has become more confident! She enjoys all the activities, playing/reading books and singing songs. Overall this nursery has been absolutely amazing!

Could not recommend this nursery enough. Not only is it a beautiful setting at Winkworth but the nursery staff are all so friendly and professional. We ended up moving our child to this nursery from another and they absolutely love it, they genuinely seem so happy after each nursery session. The updates are regular and in real time, and frequent pictures are sent to show us what they are getting up to and my child is always smiling and looks so happy! The food provided is nutritious and my child eats and sleeps so well there!

We moved our son from a nursery in town in January, as he loves being outdoors. We have been so impressed with the nursery and the team. All of the staff are so friendly and caring, led by the wonderful Karlene. Our son's key worker is Rachel, who he adores. The nursery and the staff create such a lovely and warm atmosphere - to us, it is the closest thing to leaving our son with family members, and we are absolutely delighted. We are in the midst of potty training our son, and the team are so patient and understanding with him. With us they are relaxed and reassuring, and it is clear that our son loves them, and they adore him too. We get daily updates about the activities he has been doing, always outside. The activities are always so creative, engaging and interesting - no two days are the same. Our son comes home with a huge smile on his face and muddy wellies, which is the sign of a day well spent. We would 100% recommend Little Forest Folk Winkworth

Little Forest Folk Winkworth is literally the best nursery setting for any child! Our son has been there since he was 18 months old and is now 23 months old. He is so happy going each day and is developing so well. The outdoors serves to enhance their development and various skills. The staff, led by the amazing Karlenne, are incredible! We are so happy!
