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.
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
Thankyou so much for your kind words. We have loved having your daughter here and cannot wait to watch her continue to grow and get ready for her school transition.
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.
Thankyou so much for your kind words, you have all been a pleasure to have with us and the Lilliput family. We cannot wait to continue with your little mans journey until he goes to school and cannot wait to have your little lady with us too. Thankyou for choosing us! x
The nursery genuinely cares about every child in the setting and we can only highly recommend to anyone considering Lilliputs.
Thankyou so much for your kind words, your little man was a pleasure to have with us for a short time and we know he is going to do really well at school and thrive! make sure you keep in touch and come and visit us in the future - All the best
My son has had the most fantastic time at Lilliput. He joined at just 12 months old and is now about to 'graduate' from pre-school to start school. As a nervous and worried new mother, I found the transition incredibly hard - but the staff supported not only my son, but also me, every step of the way. What truly sets Lilliput apart is the staff. Their long tenure and low turnover are rare in a nursery setting, and it makes a world of difference. The children build strong, lasting relationships, and you can really see how well the team works together. They manage transitions between rooms seamlessly, and their warmth and professionalism shine through in everything they do. The facilities are outstanding - with multiple indoor playrooms, outdoor playgrounds, a swimming pool, and access to a huge field across the road where the children love to run and explore. It's a dream environment for little ones, I will be forever grateful to them for the wonderful experience they have given my son.
Thankyou so much for your kind words. Your little man will be extremely missed and I will miss not hearing his extravagant stories - my favourite has to be when he told me he had been bitten by a black widow spider on both feet and he will soon be able to swing round the room like spiderman! He has...
Lilliput is a fantastic nursery setting. The staff team are so kind, caring and passionate about what they do. The nursery is such a happy, fun and nurturing environment. I would highly recommend Lilliput!
Thankyou so much for your kind words, cannot believe your Lilliput journey is over - please do keep in touch and we cannot wait to see the uniform pictures! We will miss you all lots and your beautiful little ladies
We have been with Lilliput for 4.5 years and counting and we've had the best Nursery/Preschool experience for our girls. The facilities are great with lots of space and age-specific resources and we love that the children are moved along at a pace that means they're with children of the same age and learning/doing activities that are appropriate and enjoyable for them. Having multiple gardens, climbing equipment, space to run around in the filed and a swimming pool are also obviously a huge bonus! Our girls have taken part in some really lovely events like the Nativity, Christmas Party, Preschool Graduation and Family Fun Days and they and we have made friends along the way. Above everything else the best thing about Lilliput is the staff - they are lovely and it's a great feeling knowing that our youngest is being looked after by the same team who were there when our eldest was there. Overall we couldn't recommend it enough and are so happy with our choice!
Thankyou so much for your kind words, both of your ladies have been a pleasure to have, so kind and caring! you and dad should be really proud. We are glad you are still her for another year to see even more changes that are coming! Watch this space! And I love how many times you come to visit the chicks! Your older lady is a chicken whisperer!
Our son joined in baby room and is just about to finish preschool at Lilliput and honestly has had the best few years at this nursery. The staff are so wonderful and caring and have supported him through every key milestone. There are key members of staff who have worked at the nursery for many years and their experience really shows, the low turnover of staff also means the kids build such strong relationships with their key workers. The manager is doing a fantastic job of bringing new experiences to the kids including the farm visits and little dreamers club on top of the swimming lessons offered in summer which my sons has loved. Would absolutely recommend Lilliput!
Thankyou so much for your kind words, he has been a pleasure to have with us for his first Nursery Journey. We are very lucky to still have his little sister with us so we can continue to see you all, and especially here your little lady singing down the corridor to her favourite songs.
But, what really makes Lilliputs so special is the wonderful staff who look after our children with such care and kindness. There is such a personal feel to the care received and every day we have a debrief of how our daughters day has been and everyone takes such interest in what is going on in each child's lives.
We highly recommend Lilliputs and will be very sad to say goodbye to this chapter in our lives.
Special shout out to the amazing lady who took on the role as nursery manager recently and is leading the team and nursery from strength to strength!
I cannot believe your time is coming to an end here, Your not so little lady will be missed, with her unique laugh. We are really hoping to see you again very soon for you new little ones adventure! Thankyou so much for your kind words, we aspire to make Lilliput the best it can be so it is always lovely to hear that parents notice all of our changes and are enjoying them!
We absolutely love Lilliputs! Both our children have gone through from babies to pre-school and have been so happy there. The staff are brilliant, so caring and welcoming and they build such strong relationships with the children. The summer swimming lessons are a massive benefit and access to the field for the older children is great. The homemade meals are also fantastic, providing children with a wide variety of foods that you don't always get at other nurseries.
Thankyou so much for your kind words. It has been a pleasure having both your boys with us for their full journeys. We wish your little man all the best for his next adventure, make sure you come back and visit. Kind regards
Just when you think it can't get any better, it has done! The changes made in the recent months to create the Dreamers space, liven up the entrance ways, embrace more physical education, and generally to try new ways to help our little ones grow in different ways have been mind blowing.
The staff there do genuinely feel like a family, making it a home away from home. They all remember children who left years ago, and treat the ones there now with the utmost care.
Their Father Christmas is always a good laugh as well! Keep up the great work!
Thankyou so much for your kind words. I am glad you are enjoying the new facilities we have opened over the last couple of months, plenty more in the pipeline which we are all excited about. We are glad your 2 little ones have had their journeys with us at Lilliput, still a year to go which is lovely! And we will never forget the amazing Father Christmas experience!!
Both our children started in baby room at 12months which was the most nurturing and homely space, slightly separated from the rest of the nursery and offered them a proper cot for nap times, and setting a great structure and routine to their days. We liked that the old school building gives each age group their own space and identity and they move classes in line with their development, so they were learning and experiencing new stimuli every 6 months. It also prepared them for meeting and mixing with slightly different cohorts of peers and staff.
By preschool (3y+) the children are so confident and know the staff well (there is little staff turnover) and the nursery has such a community and family atmosphere preparing them so well for Primary.
A member of staff set really high standards for the nursery and I'm delighted that the manager is staying on.
Thankyou so much for your kind words! it has been a real pleasure having both your little ones throughout their journey and we will continue for the next year! We have lots of fun things planned and I am glad we can share them for you for the rest of your little mans Journey before he ventures of to school.
The staff are warm, caring and always go the extra mile. The facilities are fantastic with the added bonus of the field and swimming pool.
My girls are well prepared for school, they are curious, independent, social and happy!
We will miss Lilliputs, as we move on to our next adventure in September but grateful in knowing, both our girls are fully equipped to navigate their next steps, thanks to the wonderful Lilliputs Team.
Thankyou so much for your kind words, I cannot believe your time with us is shortly coming to an end after all of these years! it has been a pleasure knowing you all for 8 years. Please keep in touch and come back and visit us ..... also, I know Dad will want to come back and spend time with the chickens!!
We have had a wonderful experience at Lilliputs - the staff are incredibly kind and caring and the children are so well cared for and looked after. The swimming in summer is a massive plus, and the journey through all the rooms fully equips children for school when they get there. Its a wonderful, happy school and the staff give 110%.
Thankyou so much for your lovely review, we really appreciate your kind words and I will share them with the team. Your 2 little ones have been a pleasure to have with us and your not so little man is moving onto his next adventure and will be missed tons. We will especially miss his royal wave!
Liliput has my highest recommendation. What makes it so special is the staff who clearly care so deeply for the children and always go above and beyond. My son is nervous in most situations but he skips to Liliput and happily waves me goodbye because he always has a ball with a new activity everyday and so much genuine kindness and care from his key workers.
Thankyou very much for your lovely comments. Your little man is a pleasure to have with us and we cannot wait to continue to be part of his Lilliput Journey.
I can't recommend this nursery highly enough. Both of my children have attended Lilliputs - my eldest is now 16 and the youngest is 4 and will leave Lilliputs this summer to go to school. The manager, has been there since my eldest attended and has made many positive improvements since she took over as manager. I love the fact that so many of the staff have been there for many years and provide stability and continuity of care for the children. The manager is keen to engage with parents and regularly organises events to showcase new rooms and initiatives which she has introduced to enhance the nursery experience.
Thankyou for your lovely comments, I cannot believe your little lady is moving onto her next adventure, she will be missed by everybody! And i remember when you came back after all those years! Very privileged to have been part of both your ladies journeys here!
The environment feels even more vibrant, welcoming, and stimulating. From updated learning materials to thoughtful room layouts, it's clear that a lot of care and effort has gone into creating a nurturing space where children can thrive.
The staff have always been wonderful, but they seem even more energized and engaged lately. Their dedication, patience, and genuine love for what they do really shine through. My daughter comes home excited to tell me about her day-whether it's a new song she's learned, a fun activity they did, or a new friend she made.
Communication with parents has also improved, making us feel more connected and informed about our child's development. It's reassuring to know she's in such capable and caring hands.
Thank you for your kind words. We cannot believe your time here is coming to an end again, your little lady will be truly missed by all. We are hoping to have you back again soon with number 3. Please keep in touch on your little ladies next adventure
My daughter absolutely loved and flourished in her time at Lilliput, and as a parent, knowing she is so happy and well cared for brought us great peace in a very challenging season. I couldn't imagine a better place for her to have a key foundational year. The manager is a great leader who built a fab team. We wish the Lilliput tribe all the best for 2025!
Thank you so much for your kind words - we have always been proud of our family community, both with parents and the staff team, so it is particularly rewarding to read your review. We wish you all the very best and hope you keep in touch. Perhaps your little lady would like to pop in after school one day? Kind regards. Mel and the Lilliput Team
The entire Lilliput team are truly caring and take on board the individual needs of the child from baby room to pre-school. Our daughter has such fond memories from 9.5 months to 4 years old and the support of the staff through each stage in these early years has been exceptional for us. Even now, having started reception, she's asking to go back. Thank you to the Lilliput team!
Thank you so much for this, we miss your little lady and she is always welcome to pop in to say hello. Kindest regards. Mel and the Lilliput Team
My daughter had the best start to her schooling journey with Lilliput. The manager and team Lilliput have played an amazing role in settling her down, helping her grow and then make her bloom into a smart, independent and inquisitive individual. We will always be grateful and thankful to Lilliput for sorting us out in the best possible ways always.
Thank you so much for your review. We really miss your vibrant little lady and her wonderful smiles and chats with everyone here at Lilliput. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas. Kind regards. Melanie and all our team.
