I've had both my kids in Lilliput for a few years now, and have been very happy with them! They're very loving to the kids, you can see they really care. The kids have always been happy when I collect them, and have always had a great day with a combination of indoor and outdoor play, learning opportunities and arts and crafts. The nursery are also very understanding and reasonable when it comes to personal situations. The swimming pool is an added bonus, my eldest loved having extra swimming lessons during the week during the summer! Highly recommend!

Our Son has just finished several very happy years at Lilliput and we could not have been more delighted with them. He has made many lasting friendships and loved all his "teachers" immensely. The larger setting and the way they progress through the rooms has prepared him fantastically for school, he has taken everything in his stride and is already quite advanced in his learning journey because of the incredible work and preparation Lilliput preschool class has done for him. Staff were more than happy to focus on what interested him and tailored his learning to his needs and interests.

He benefited from intensive swimming lessons in their own pool and had multiple gardens available to add variety to his outdoor play, including access daily to a local field as a preschool student.

As a younger child (starting just after 1) he was well cared for and on the rare occasions he became upset at drop off, was comforted and we never felt sad for leaving him, and were called and updated on his mood not long after.

The children are all well balanced, friendly and well behaved with their emotional development expertly considered.

We would recommend this to anyone considering local nurseries, our nephew has just started and my youngest will certainly also attend.

I cannot recommend Lilliputs highly enough. The staff, management and opportunities the children have are all incredible. Even during the pandemic, Mel has managed to keep the nursery safe and welcoming.

Both my children have loved coming here and have developed strong bonds with the staff in each and every room. It's great to see them walk into their rooms so happy to see their friends and teachers!

Lilliput is a fantastic nursery. My daughter has just left to go to school (having been there since she was one) and she loved it. The staff are amazing - so caring and nurturing and it's clear how much they love the kids, they were brilliant at recognising my daughter needed extra support and getting that in motion for me. The facilities are brilliant (there is even a pool!) and the Covid safety measure put in place went above and beyond what was required. I would definitely recommend Lilliput!

My daughter attended Lilliput between the ages of 10 months- 4 years old and I have nothing but positive praise for the staff who work there. My goddaughters also both went there previously & had an amazing time.

Staff were incredibly caring, knowledgeable & supportive & my daughter absolutely loved it there. They did a wide range of activities on a daily basis, had access to excellent facilities including outside play areas & a pool & I was kept well informed of how my daughter was doing against the early learning goals & targets she was set.

Communication was always clear & the guidance & precautions that were taken during the pandemic were second to none. Thank you!!

My daughter started at Lilliput's aged 11months - 4yrs. I am so incredibly happy we chose Lilliput's, the staff are fantastic and facilities are excellent. I have never seen a happier group of kids and they adore all the teachers.
COVID was challenging for everyone, but not only did Lilliput's not charge for the time they were closed (lots of other nurseries in the area did). They also didn't have one case of COVID in the 14 months we were there.
Can't recommend highly enough.

We have been delighted with our decision to send our children to Lilliputs. My eldest daughter has just left and gone to school and my middle child is still at Lilliputs.

We live in Weybridge and looked around a number of other nurseries but decided to send our children here as they made us feel safe and super comfortable leaving our children with them.

The nursery staff are lovely and you build up such a bond with the staff who genuinely seem to love the children. Our daughter couldn't wait to go in and pick her brother up after her first day at school so she could show everyone her uniform.

It really does feel like a family and not a business. I couldn't be happier with the service we have had from Lilliputs and our children have loved their time there. We have just signed our 3rd child up and it's great to know that our relationship with Melanie and the team can continue for a bit longer. I would highly recommend Lilliput's and do to every new parent in the area.

Lilliput was everything I could ever have hoped for when sending my child to a nursery.

The team - I run out of good things to say about the team at Lilliput, from the cleaning staff to the chefs, to the team in the rooms, all the way through to the office staff. They all take the time to really get to know each child and it shows. The children make lasting friendships with the team, so much so that walking around the village we quite often have a very excited little one pointing out his old 'friends' and telling us all about them.

The building - the rooms are huge without being overwhelming and every inch is filled with things to do or ways to play and learn. The play areas outside are just as well stocked with things to do so there's no shortage of activities for the little ones

The food - the menu varies and there's something for everyone - even the most particular palette will be served, and our little one got to try so many different types of food whilst they were there

COVID - during lockdown every precaution was taken to make sure that staff, parents, and children were as safe as could be whilst making sure that the preschool and nursery experience was still a joyful one for all

In short, I can't recommend it highly enough!
