Review of
The Old Barn Day Nursery & Forest School
from Laura E (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son spent 3.5 years at the Old Barn and he had such a great experience that my daughter is starting soon. It has such a homely feel and the children really do build lovely bonds with the staff that is very clear to see! The gardens and the forest school are amazing! They spend so much time outside

and really focus on different learning experiences and opportunities. They do loads of messy play activities, have focused and individual learning goals, visit the park and places on the high street, have visits from police officers / firemen, help with preparing for school etc. An app is also used which provides updates on sleep, food, toilet etc as well as providing photos and details on things they have been doing. I honestly highly recommend the nursery to anyone!

Review of
Lilliput Children's Centre
from Hayley R (Mother of Child) published on 8 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We love Lilliputs!! Both the staff and management are excellent, they are welcoming and professional and generally care about your child and their wellbeing and growth. From baby room to preschool, Lilliputs provides a safe and comfortable space for both boys and seeing them happy was the most important

thing of us. They make sure the transitions when moving up rooms are flawless and natural. The nursery ensured a healthy mix of play, stories and crafts. Daisey also introduced animals into the nursery. Which both my boys loved. We would recommend Lilliputs to anyone that is looking for a home from home nursery.

Reply from Daisey McGuinness, Nursery Manager at Lilliput Children's Centre

Thankyou so much for your kind words. It has been a pleasure having both your boys enjoying the Lilliput journey and we are so happy you are loving the animals as much as we are. We cannot wait to…read more

Review of
Lilliput Children's Centre
from Laura B (Mother of Child) published on 8 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

After touring multiple nurseries in the Hersham/Walton area, we are so thrilled we chose Lilliput. Every member of staff is always friendly, helpful and smiling any time you see them.
With special mention to the staff in our child's room - without them we would be lost. They provide the best care for

every child every day, and we are truly grateful to them for looking after our boy to such a high standard. He absolutely loves going to school every day, and we would recommend Lilliput to any parent about to embark on the nursery journey.

Reply from Daisey McGuinness, Nursery Manager at Lilliput Children's Centre

Thankyou for your kind words, we are so happy you chose Lilliput for your Nursery journey. We are so excited to continue to watch your little mans journey here and watch him learn and grow.

Lilliput is an amazing learning environment that feels homely, has tasty food and lovely staff. My daughter loves going to school there and most days doesn't want to leave as she has had so much fun. Her talking, counting, letters and other learning have all come along leaps and bounds thanks to the

hard work of the teachers. Couldn't recommend it enough

Lilliput Children's Centre
from Elizabeth R (Mother of Child) published on 25 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son started at Lilliputs when he was just 14 months old and I couldn't be happier with the care and support he and us as a family have received over the years. The staff are genuinely caring, nurturing, and always take the time to make each child feel safe and valued.

The variety of activities they

offer is fantastic (including the use of an on site swimming pool) and they are really well-tailored to each stage of development. It's been wonderful to watch my son grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity thanks to the thoughtful experiences they provide every day. I look forward to hearing about all the fun he has had at the end of his busy day.

We are very grateful to the whole team for creating such a warm, stimulating, and supportive environment. I would highly recommend Lilliputs to any parent looking for a place where their child will thrive and the whole family will be looked after.

Review of
Friends Forest Nursery - Ash
from Jo W (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our daughter joined the Baby Room at Friends Forest Nursery in September 2025 and we have been delighted with the care that she receives each day that she attends. The settling in process was well thought out and smooth and our daughter settled in to nursery life very quickly. The nursery is safe and

welcoming. Staff are friendly, kind and attentive; they have established a wonderful relationship with our daughter! Staff always provide engaging and enjoyable learning throughout the day which is then shared via the communication app. We have really appreciated receiving updates throughout the day, furthermore receiving information about planned observations and recommendations of how we could further support learning at home. After only a few months, we can already see how much progress our daughter has made and how much she is thriving! We cannot thank the staff enough for all that they do for her.

Reply from Danielle Brennan, Nursery Manager at Friends Forest Nursery - Ash

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback - it is an absolute pleasure to look after your little one! She is thriving and t is so lovely to watch her grow!

Ashburton House Day Nursery
from Richard E (Father of Child) published on 6 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our son spent three years at Ashburton and our daughter is currently at the nursery. We have had such a positive experience at Ashburton and would highly recommend it to any prospective parents. It has been so heartwarming watching our son grow over the years and I know that, even now that he has started

school, he still has such positive memories of being there. Our daughter is thriving at Ashburton and the care and attention she receives is genuinely inspiring. We will always look back very fondly on our time at Ashburton.

All three of my children have attended Ashburton House and my youngest is currently in baby room. I am so grateful for how caring the staff are, and for all the imaginative activities they come up with. My little boy bounces into nursery each morning and always seems to have a lovely day. The team at

the moment is fantastic, including management and the in house chef.

Couldn't recommend Ashburton more highly. I have 2 children that have attended (youngest currently in preschool). The staff are excellent, so caring and continuously come up with fun activities for the children to do. In preschool in particular the activities really prepare them for the transition to

Little Forest Folk Winkworth
from O G (Mother of Child) published on 27 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We have been over the moon with our 3 year olds transition to Little Forest Folk - Winkworth. It felt like within days the team really understood, cared for & championed our little girl - she was no longer just a number but a little person and part of a team. The creativity of the team is amazing -

I'm blown away by the activities they come up with and the learning/ experiences our little one gets. Communication is always open to the level of the amount of breakfast our little one eats (if needed!), and I've never felt more happy & confident with a nursery setting. The staff are amazing - Karlenne & Charlotte have been outstanding & the bond they have with our daughter is wonderful. With being outside all day she never comes home overwhelmed, but full of songs, knowledge and enthusiasm about her day. Thank you team!

Little Forest Folk Winkworth
from Kristina M (Mother of Child) published on 21 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Little Forest folk Winkworth is a magical place. It has been all we needed and more for our little one.
The staff members are SO lovely and clearly love what they do despite the fact that it must be exhausting for them with all the effort they put in to giving the children a wonderful day!
Nearly all

the time spent outdoors, fantastic free play and structured opportunities, nutritious food and loving care givers. I honestly can not fault it.
My mother's family is from Norway where Forest school-type education tends to be the norm, especially at nursery age. Little Forest folk reminds me so much of watching my little cousins growing up going to similar settings. 10/10 from a scandi family!
I truly appreciate the photos and updates we get during the day as well. It makes such a huge difference to see your little one's smiling face when you are missing/worried about them.
Thank you for everything you do!

Overall Experience

We highly recommend Ashburton House. We have had our two children start from 9 months and stay through to preschool and the staff are absolutely wonderful, nurturing, warm and like a second family. The nursery manager is brilliant and we honestly cannot fault the learning and the variety of activities

available, including visits from animals, sensory baby and toddler development classes, and trips out to the park. The garden is also great! Our children have formed very strong bonds with their carers and have been so happy and settled, and when encountering transitions when first starting or between rooms the team have been flexible and mindful of the need for a bit more support. A wonderful place with many happy memories formed.
