Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both my children attend Lollipops's, my eldest has been going since he was 3months old he is now 2 and just gone on to the nursery floor. My youngest is 10month old and been going there since she was 5m. Both love going to nursery and show a great relationship with all the staff, they both seem happy
and confident to be left within the setting. I enjoy the most seeing my children out in the garden as that is one of my boys favourite places to be.
Thank you for everything you are doing

Review from Connie R (Mother of Child) published on 1 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our little one has absolutely thrived at Lollipops. He's been there since the baby unit and will now be leaving to go onto Reception in September.
The staff have been nothing short of courteous, professional, caring and approachable throughout the years.
At one point our little one required some
extra support with self regulating. The staff implemented some circuit training exercises (amongst other tactful activities) to help burn that extra energy and support his regulation.
Our little one has come leaps and bounds in their care and we are forever grateful for their love and support.
Our little one has absolutely loved all the staff and has developed such a strong bond with many of them. It'll be sad to say goodbye in the coming weeks.
100% highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2 year old daughter has been going here for a year now and she loves it. The staff were very attentive to her from the beginning and she had no problems adapting from the start. You get a lot of information about how their day went, all the girls are very patient with the children and really seem
genuinely nurturing and caring. We didn't need any special accommodation but, from what I saw they provide them very well when needed it. My anxiety about leaving her there calmed down more quickly then I expected when I saw she is safe and taken care of. I, for one, I'm happy with me choice of nursery, especially that is across the road road from us and we don't need to comute to another nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This nursery was a godsent in so many ways... I have three children. My elder son is 1.5 years older than his twin siblings. This means the three of them attended nursery at the same time. The manager has a true vocation and passion to be with small children; She has built a very capable team. They've
tailored their love, care and attention uniquely to each of my children. They supported my elder son as he became a big brother of two and aided the twins to find their identity separately. Their support has always been proactive: from helping me getting three infants out of their car seats and safely into nursery to easing the transition of leaving nursery for big school. My kids are safe, loved and thriving. As an added perk my girl comes with the most beautiful braids; a true work of art!.

Choosing this nursery for my child was the best decision ever. The staff are so attentive and caring, I know my child is safe hands with them. The rooms are clean with lots of fun activities for the children. The outside space is amazing and as soon as the weather is nice the kids are out there having
a blast together. The team are also providing with us with help and advice on potty training atm which is greatly appreciated. Thank you Lollipops <3

We have a four year old boy and a two year old who've attended Lollipops since they were 10 months. We also have a little girl who will follow in her brothers' footsteps when she's old enough. The staff are great. They are loved by the boys and the staff have a genuine affection for them. We feel they're
in good hands and we know all the staff by name. The boys have made great friends there and it's going to be sad when our oldest leaves this summer. It does feel like a big family at bramble house and there is a genuine warmth between the staff and the children.

Our little one has been attending Lollipops for around a year and a half and loves it there. We know that when we leave him there, he's in safe hands, and will be looked after by staff who genuinely care and ensure he's thriving. We are frequently in awe of his development and progress and that is no
doubt helped by his time at nursery. There is a lovely big garden, and when the weather permits, they spend a lot of time outside which we know he loves. We are very happy and always recommend Lollipops to friends who have little ones!

Our son has been at Lollipops since October 2022 and we have been thrilled with how well he has settled. He is so happy to be dropped off, and always happy at the end of the day. I am full of confidence with how well he is looked after. All the team are so genuine and lovely and we are so pleased we
found Lollipops when we moved to the area. It has a real family feel to the nursery.

My daughter has attended Lollipops since she was 8 months old. The whole settling-in process was easy and we felt so reassured by the staff. My daughter quickly got into a routine and has made some great bonds with both the children and the staff. She’s now 28 months and in the toddler room. We have
been so impressed with her development and we know it’s largely due to the nursery and their guidance. Our 2nd baby will start soon and we can’t wait to see how she thrives at Lollipops as well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All three of my children have gone to Lollipops. My first two children (now in school) had an amazing start and I believe thrived starting school due to the love and support they received from Lollipops. They do an amazing job. My youngest started Lollipops at 16 weeks old and will leave this year to
go to school. I know he has been just as cared for and supported throughout his time. The manager is amazing, all the staff are great. Committed, qualified and loving. Lollipops is a family, and it feels like that. I’ll be sad to finally part ways in the late summer which I think is a sign of just how great they are! My older children love coming back and picking their brother up and get big hugs and support from the staff. They do great events for the children, celebrate cultures and events and have great space and facilities. All my kids have loved it and we love it too!

My twin sons have been at Lollipops since they were six months old and have been there for a year, and they love going there. They're always happy at drop-off; we see how much the teachers love them, and my sons love them back. They're taken great care of and clearly have a lovely time there. They also
get a really good variety of foods at meal times.

My daughter loves her days at nursery, she runs straight in. Since going to this nursery she has become more confident and outgoing! She definitely learns so much from going as she is always singing new songs or telling me new things. They are always doing activities and sending home pictures and stuff
that they have made with her.

After having to take my daughter out of a poorly run unsafe nursery, I was very anxious about putting her into another setting. I met with the manager of Lollipops who was very professional, she was able to answer all my questions and show evidence of well run safe practice. My daughter settled very
quick and has been there for 5 months and is very happy. She’s learning, she’s confident and absolutely loves the staff that works with her. Thoroughly recommend

Both my children have attended Lollipops and I can’t express how amazing they have been with them. My youngest is starting school in September and we will all be sad to say our final goodbye. They have helped both my children develop in many ways and have been a huge part of their lives. I love the

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.947) out of 10 for Lollipops is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.947 for Lollipops is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.947
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lollipops is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
