Little Lyndhurst

The school has a wonderful family feel and our children have been given such a wonderful start to their education in a really nurturing environment.

As parents of two daughters currently in Pre/ Reception, we cannot recommend Little Lyndhurst highly enough. Since joining in September 2025, the transformation in our girls has been remarkable. At their previous nursery, mornings were a constant struggle; now, they literally skip through the gates with smiles on their faces. It is, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we have made for them.

The staff's dedication is unparalleled. At every parents' evening, I am genuinely moved by the depth of their character assessments; they truly know and celebrate our daughters as individuals. The dynamic learning structure ensures that no two days are alike, leaving the girls energized and brimming with new knowledge. Even the 'parent guilt' of long days (8 am-6 pm) has vanished-in fact, on the days I pick them up early, they are genuinely disappointed to miss 'Afternoon Tea' with their friends. Little Lyndhurst is more than a school; it is a community where our children are thriving!

Signing my daughter up to Pre-Reception was the best decision I have ever made. It's so much more than just childcare from 8am - 6pm. The structure of the day (with a school timetable and proper lessons) is so beneficial preparing the little ones for the big school - Reception. My daughter has already learnt phonics, she is learning how to form letters correctly and she has been using basic Maths skills in real life situations. Furthermore, she has PE, French and Drama with specialist teachers. The staff are wonderful, kind, caring, helpful and encourage the children's independence. Little Lyndhurst children have daily opportunities to socialise, have Afternoon Tea with older children and they know all the teachers from the main school which makes it so much easier for the transition and going up to Reception and then Year 1, etc. I asked my daughter what her favourite thing about Little Lyndhurst is and she said, "Lunch"! That shows that food is amazing too!

A fantastic school! My son is now into his second year at Lyndhurst (reception) and it is one of the best decisions that we have made for him (and us). The school's before and after care is second-to-none, and along with the wonderful teachers and staff means that my son very much enjoys his school day. His academic progress has been rapid, and he has access to a very wide variety of sports and extra-curricular activities. It has been an excellent choice of school.

Our daughter absolutely loves Little Lyndhurst. We really appreciate the structure and breadth of opportunity which the children get. She loves music and French and really enjoys the excellent outdoor play facilities. The teachers are professional and kind and have built up really strong relationships with her. She brings home lovely crafts and really enjoys the stories and reading that Lyndhurst encourages. She has honestly had such a lovely time there. We are very grateful we sent her.

Our three children loved their time at Little Lyndhurst. A great preschool with excellent teachers. Good class sizes that transition well to the main school and year one. Good relationships for kids and parents alike.

The practicality of having the extended day has been a huge benefit for us as working parents and supported the boys with their move into school.

My child has thrived within this wonderful environment. We could not recommend Little Lyndhurst more. She has been supported excellently through her early years, which has led to a solid foundation to form for her future education. Her needs have always been met, and the staff have kept us informed throughout her time and journey through the school. Little Lyndhurst, like the rest of the school, is like a family and the children are all so content.

Our three-year-old has settled in wonderfully and loves the school. The teachers and assistants are well organised, friendly, and create an excellent learning environment. The schedules are varied with plenty of opportunities for outdoor playing and learning. My wife and I also love the proximity to the prep school and the interactions the nursery can have with bigger kids especially during after school. The 8am to 6pm wrap-around care is very convenient for two working parents.

Little Lyndhurst is outstanding. They have all the love and care of a top nursery but also include the routine and discipline of school life. This is unique in my experience. It means that by the time children come to leave, they are more than ready for school emotionally and academically. The staff are incredibly caring and kind, the facilities are excellent, especially the outside area. Little Lyndhurst has its own independent space, but is also part of the main school - this has so many advantages. In other nurseries you mainly get nursery staff, here you get excellent teachers, you also have the attention and leadership of a top Headmaster with the children getting included in all suitable main school events. My daughter finished Little Lyndhurst educationally advanced for her age in all areas, ready for “big school” happy and confident. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
