Review from Adam L (Father of Child) published on 19 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very well professionally ran nursery. Always keep you up to date on the app, which is modern. Flexible with parents timings etc. in term of the care itself, my child is always happy to go to the nursery and enjoys her time there. She has made plenty of friends and her English has improved greatly. The staff are great, easy to approach and friendly. They always keep you informed of any issues like children falling etc. and also of any development issues. The facilities are good too, with plenty of toys, outdoor area. My child is always bringing home drawings/painting etc she has done at the nursery. Would really recommend this pre-school to everyone looking for a space for their infant.

My daughter is currently at Lydgate preschool. She is happy, content and confident in the setting.

The staff are very approachable and friendly, they all have a patient and kind demeanor. They cater to my child's needs and she has shown an immense amount of growth and progress during her 1 and a half years at Lydgate preschool.

I am very pleased with the facilities and resources that my child is provided with and I believe that staff provide a happy and exciting environment for all children at the setting.

I am extremely happy and satisfied with all aspects of Lydgate preschool and would definitely recommend it to other parents.

Overall Experience
I am so grateful for being able to send my child this nusrey and not any other. Iv had a rollercoaster journey in my personal life where the support from the nusrey has been a massive help to me and all my kids that have attended here, during those times.
I really appreciate the level of understanding, communication and support the staff and the manager provide to families.

Would definitely recommend this pre-school to all the future parents, not forgetting the fun occasional setups provided in the most best ways to all the children wether its Christmas or Eid or anything else they be having lots of fun!

Review from A R (Father of Child) published on 29 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child has shown wonderful growth this term. He is becoming more confident in participating during class activities and expressing his ideas. It's lovely to see his increasing independence and enthusiasm for learning. The preschool provides such a nurturing and supportive environment, and the staff are absolutely brilliant - always encouraging and attentive to each child's needs. It's clear that my child feels happy, valued, and secure, which has helped him thrive in all areas of his early development. His speech has developed really well and he is communicating more clearly and using a wider range of words to share his thoughts.

Review from David O (Father of Child) published on 8 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My child's reading skills have improved, he definitely has added more songs to his song database as he sings new songs we are not familiar with at home. This is important because singing makes him happy. Staff are very approachable and accommodating. My son says his teachers are his friends when asked. The rating below is strictly based on the short period of time my son has been at Lydgate Pre-School. I believe the rating will get better.

Review from Hanna K (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son has only been at this preschool for a short period of time, however he settled in very quickly. The staff have always been very welcoming and friendly. My child looks forward to coming every day and is super excited. His speech and language have improved and is doing really well! The staff are very approachable and my child seems to get along with all staff. All staff are nurturing and caring and he is always getting plenty of cuddles! I feel extremely comfortable leaving my child at this preschool and could not recommend it enough to my family and friends.

Reply from Mariam Kathrada, Nursery Manager at Lydgate Pre-School

Thank you for the lovely feedback you have given the nursery, it is lovely to hear that you have seen an improvement in your child's language. We love having our cuddles from him as well.
