Lilliput Montessori Day Nursery (Anstey)

The staff ensure they build a good relationship with the children in their care. The staff are caring and are always pleased to greet my son into the nursery. Staff keep parents up to date with what their child has been up to during their time there. A daily diary is kept of what my child has eaten, along with information about activities, sleep and toileting. This is communicated to me at every pickup time to ensure a smooth handover. My son is always offered balanced and healthy options for mealtimes. He creates lots of artwork and has taken part in lots of different themes over the year such as Diwali, fireworks, and Children in Need. Lots of photographs are taken and sent to us on the app. I agree with the good points that are made in this year's Ofsted report for the nursery/preschool. I would recommend Anstey Lilliput to others.

Highly recommended!

My son has spent almost two years at this nursery and has really enjoyed his time there. He settled in so easily due to how caring and friendly the staff are, and he has always felt safe and happy. We've always been well informed and have been impressed with the communication when we have had questions. He has had key workers assigned to him but has developed relationships with all of the staff and feels comfortable with everyone there. We like the range of activities that are available, and we like the fact that he has so much choice and isn't made to do set activities; he learns through play and has become so confident. Show and tell sessions have given him lots of opportunities to become comfortable speaking in front of a big group, and his independence has increased with little things like getting his own breakfast in the morning. We definitely recommend this nursery as we feel that the children's needs are always catered for, and the staff are all so kind and caring.

Our son has just left the nursery to go to school in September. He absolutely loved the nursery and all of the staff. The two main things for me as a parent when rating the nursery are “is my child happy” and “do they make my life easier” which is extremely important as we are both full time working parents and for both things they were fantastic. Our next child will definitely be going here when it comes round to it. Highly recommended.

Lilliput Anstey is a lovely nursery. The staff can’t do enough to welcome and settle your child(and you!), they are very patient, extremely professional, approachable but above all they are excellent at safeguarding your child, they go above and beyond to set your mind at ease, responding to any query with speed. My little one has had a very happy few years at Lilliput and has blossomed within their care. The staff are more like an extended family rather than just nursery practitioners, and can’t thank them enough for everything they have done during the past few years.

Excellent nursery, both my daughter's are very happy and grew up here. All staff are really compassionate and have excellent skills. No complaints at all, this is their second home.

When my eldest daughter first arrived at the nursery she was a very shy young child and very mummy clingy. Since going to the nursery not only has she learnt so much such as how to use a knife and fork, and much more, my daughter has now become a very confident little 3-year-old and personally I put it all down to the nursery. Thank you.

Our son has settled into the baby room of the Nursery so well, thanks to the amazing staff. I feel so comfortable leaving him in their capable hands and I know he has a great time. The staff use Tapestry to keep me updated and show me how much fun he is having, and he is always smiling and playing when I pick him up. Thank you so much for looking after him so well, just like you did with my daughter all those years ago!

Would highly recommend to any parent.

A brilliant nursery for both of my children where they have developed and flourished with the help of the staff and manager.

I love the fact our daughter goes to this nursery. The nursery is totally flexible, unlike some nurseries that just offer set days. There have been times I have needed to put my daughter in at short notice and it has never been any trouble. They are great with children with intolerances. The staff are great and lovely with the children. My daughter has learnt so much whilst being in their care. I would recommend this nursery to everyone!

Excellent nursery, that offers flexibility to parents, which is ideal if you work shifts. They also offer the opportunity to attend forest school to the pre school room, which is a fantastic holistic learning opportunity.

They do lots of different activities and often bring home things made at nursery and the food offered couldn't be better.
