Overall Experience

My children have been with this nursery for just over a year now and I cannot fault them at all. The entire staff is incredible, they are all so patient and kind and my children love going to "school" now (it used to be a challenge at their pre-school previously). There's always a wide range of activities

and I love when they come home with a new piece of artwork or a baked good that they've made and can enjoy themselves. The children are encouraged to spend time in nature and the garden and whilst they are sometimes a little muddy they are always smiling.

Staff keep parents informed on the children's day to day activities through their own locked systems (of which parents use an app to access), so I know when my child has had a snack or used the toilet, and their education has blossomed while under the care of St Osyth Pre-School.

A little sad that my children will be leaving them this year to start reception but couldn't be more grateful for the care they have received.

Reply from Kirsty Cook, Deputy Manager at St Osyth Preschool and NurseryThank you so much for this amazing review. We just love spending time with your children and all the amazing facts that they come out with. We are really going to miss them when they go to big school.

Overall Experience

My daughter Ophelia has been in Lilypads since September and she absolutely loves it - Siobhan, Julie and Lacey are all brilliant with her and I feel so at ease leaving her there.
She goes in happy and leaves happy which makes me happy.

Reply from Kirsty Cook, Deputy Manager at St Osyth Preschool and NurseryThank you so much for your lovely review. It's been fabulous to watch her grow from the first time we saw her on the show around to now. I'll let the Liypad staff know about your kind comments.

Review from Mackayla B (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My son attends age 3 and my daughter attended last year before starting reception. They were both new to the nursery after feb half term last year and they settled in amazingly. My son had never attended any nursery prior so was worried but he was assigned a key worker and hasn't looked back. He is

confident, happy, eager to learn and gets on with all the team there. I would highly recommend to anyone considering - they have made our move to the area so much easier and glad we did it.

Reply from Kirsty Cook, Deputy Manager at St Osyth Preschool and NurseryThank you so much for your lovely kind words, it means so much to us.
We have loved watching both your children grow and becoming wonderful little characters.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.438) out of 10 for St Osyth Preschool and Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 3 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:

5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for St Osyth Preschool and Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 5
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 3.438 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Osyth Preschool and Nursery is based on 3 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.188
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
