Review from M W (Mother of Child) published on 20 May 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Both of my children absolutely love St Osyth Preschool.
My eldest loves how much time they spend outdoors and I love the variety of activities they participate in for example errupting volcanoes or yoga. The staff genuinely care about the children.

I highly recommend this nursery.

Review from R B (Mother of Child) published on 20 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was very apprehensive starting a nursery. My son had just turned 1 and my daughter was 2 years and 8 months.

My son entered the baby room he was alowed to explore, play outdoors, nap in a safe place and make loads of new friends. Siobhan was his key person and was the kindest and most genuine practitioner attentive to his needs. He has since moved to water poppies and has so much fun. The room is child led and they are always outdoors. His new keyperson Georgia has also been very attentive and he's even sat outside wanting to go back in because he loves his teachers so much.

My daughter is in swans room now getting ready for school. They have planted flowers, visited the park and are again always outside. Kirstie, Zoe, Rita and Millie have been pivotal in helping her feel safe at school and are currently working very close with me to support her.

I highly recommend St Osyth Preschool. Professional, knowledgeable, up to date and fun.

Overall Experience
Our experience with everyone at the pre school has been incredible. My daughter has SEN and I was so nervous about her going to a new setting but the moment I met the team in the room my daughter would be in I knew this was the place for her. The team are magical and have been nothing but supportive and caring to my daughter and also myself. My little one has come on so much she has gained some amazing new skills. She has had her 1-1 and I can't put into words how amazing she is I can't even think about her going to school and leaving this setting

Thank you all so so much for creating a wonderful space and being such great team!

Reply from Claire Cowler, Manager at St Osyth Preschool and Nursery

Thankyou so much for your kind words. We are so lucky that you trusted us to care for your daughter, she is amazing. We will miss her so much when she goes to big school. I will pass your kind words on to the staff in the room.

Review from K R (Mother of Child) published on 29 April 2026 Submitted via Website
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 Nursery

Thank 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 Nursery

Thank 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
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 Nursery
Thank 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.
