February 12, 2020 at 12:00 amI would recommend this nursery. My daughters have loved their time here and have enjoyed the wide variety of activities on offer. The staff are friendly and approachable, they really care about the children in their care. My daughters have both come on in leaps and bounds with their social and personal skills.

February 13, 2020 at 12:00 amMy 4-year-old has been attending the nursery since he was 10months old and I can honestly say he absolutely loves it!
It tells it’s own story when he wakes up in the morning and he jumps up and down and cheers when he realises that it’s a nursery day.
The management and staff so attentive and kind, he even refers to a few of them as his best friends.
They really do offer a homely feel and are always offering different activities, reading, role play, building, cooking …. the list goes on. Highly recommended. Great place.

February 13, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son loves this nursery and I love this nursery. He has attended this nursery since he was a year old (now 2) and the nursery staff have shown him so much care. They are excellent at identifying activities to help him develop and learn new skills. I enjoy the stay and play afternoons, the staff are so friendly and always very informative about what my son has spent his time doing. I would say a special thank you to team members but each individual has done things to make us feel valued throughout our time at nursery, so I think I’ll say a thank to the manager for managing an amazing team.

February 13, 2020 at 12:00 amBoth of our children have been to Lilliput and both have really enjoyed their time there. The staff take the time to get to know the children and find activities that play to their strengths and interests, so it really feels like they are properly supported. They have been sensitive to special requirements when needed and do try to involve parents as much as possible.

March 16, 2020 at 12:00 amThis nursery is great.
My son attends here and had done since just a few weeks old.
The nursery has improved so much recently with lots of learning, not just academic but life skills too.
The manager really makes sure that the children are happy every morning and they are all excited to get the day started as soon as they arrive.
Someone gives you a run down of how your child has been each day and informs of any issues.
My son is learning so much here and is getting more prepared for school each day.
It is not just childcare but education, making friends and having fun too.

September 3, 2020 at 12:00 amMy son has attended this nursery for two and a half years now, he really enjoys going and has developed so much. They give him such a personal and tailored experience. They’ve always been flexible and fair regarding any of our requests and have taken the time to listen to anything we have to say/suggest. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

March 2, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending the Whetstone nursery for 8 months now and from day one all of the staff and management have made us feel welcomed. My son has a good rapport with his keyworkers and also adores the staff who work there. He repeats all their names when he comes home with a great smile on his face.
My son has developed so much in this short period of time I did not imagine possible.
So I will highly recommend the nursery and the team for their brilliant work with the children.

March 10, 2021 at 12:00 amI cannot recommend this nursery enough. The management and the team are amazing and so devoted to the nursery, their job and the children. Lilliput Montessori Day Nursery (Whetstone) go above and beyond to create an amazing educational environment. My daughter has been attending the nursery since September and from day one she has enjoyed every day. My little daughter will be starting soon and I feel so relaxed leaving both of them in their care.

March 10, 2021 at 12:00 amI was so nervous to send my little boy to nursery as I had been working from home with him for the last ten months. I contacted Lilliput Montessori Day Nursery (Whetstone) as it always looked so lovely when we passed. I emailed to see if there were any vacancies and straight away the manager replied offering us a visit. We had a look round and all the staff introduced themselves to us and they showed us everything. We’d contacted a few nurseries but nobody offered us a look round, which I get during Covid-19 but I wanted to feel at ease. From the moment my son started I felt so relieved, the staff are amazing with him and update me on everything. I’ve never felt so relaxed knowing he’s in good hands I would highly recommend this nursery. Thanks for all your help and I cannot wait to see the journey my little boy will have with you all.

March 10, 2021 at 12:00 amThe staff provide genuine care to the children and they also support the children’s development and put individual support in place if required. They have remained open to support key workers. Food is cooked fresh onsite and is different each day, which provides choice to children. With all the activities they do, you will find you go through so many clothes, not a bad thing for your child!

March 12, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been attending since she was nine months and is now almost two. The progress she has made and continues to make is astounding and the relationships she has built with staff, is something to admire. I would highly recommend any parent to send their children here, as I know the facilities they provide as well as the support they give in keeping my child safe and secure, allowing her to grow and explore.

March 19, 2021 at 12:00 amOur son has attended Lilliput since he was 2, he’s 4 now and loves his time spent at Lilliput. He can’t wait to go in when we drop him off and always has lots to tell us when he comes home. The manager and the team really are amazing and treat all the children as individuals catering to individual needs and interests. Taking time to incorporate the children’s individual interests into learning through play, we’re amazed at some of the things our son knows from what he has learnt at Lilliput. Including life skills and valuable life lessons. The variety of food is well balanced. We love that there are lots of outdoor opportunities too. On the odd occasion that our little boy has taken ill, the manager and staff have looked after him like their own until we have arrived to collect him. Their dedication and measures taken to keep everyone safe throughout the pandemic whilst providing ongoing childcare in a safe setting has been fantastic. Thank you, Lilliput Whetstone.

March 19, 2021 at 12:00 amMy elder daughter has been attending this nursery for 2 and a half years now and she absolutely loves it. The younger, 7 months old, only started a couple of weeks ago and is already settling in.
The nursery staff are wonderful; children’s individuality and needs are always respected.
The nursery provides a perfect environment for learning and development using various natural materials; children are always encouraged to use their creativity in learning.
When the weather allows, children are playing in the garden or taken out for a walk in the park, where they continue learning about the nature and surrounding environment through exploration.

May 10, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending the nursery for more than 2 years now, we both love it. He is so excited to go there every day. Amazing staff and management, very kind, caring, creative. I can’t thank them enough for my son’s progress, he learns so much every day. I am very happy about the food, which is freshly prepared every day. I would highly recommend this nursery to everyone.

November 23, 2021 at 12:00 amAll three of my children have attended and I wouldn’t choose anywhere else. My daughter currently attends three days a week and the nursery has been so supportive of her additional needs, proactive in getting her the support she requires and understanding regarding all her medical appointments. I feel confident leaving my precious daughter in the care of all the lovely staff at Lilliput and they have really helped her progress towards her developmental milestones. Her needs are accommodated for and she is treated like an individual but is always given equal opportunities to participate in everything they do. I will never be able to thank them enough for loving my daughter like their own.

November 24, 2021 at 12:00 amMy 2-year-old is in the toddler class and has flourished immensely since joining Lilliput in August. The nursery not only helped with her language development, but also potty trained her, ignited her curiosity with all things art and nature, and she comes home singing new songs every time she goes. She has never cried to go and is always excited and can’t wait! We chose Lilliput for their Montessori ideology and how they let the children lead the way in their curiosities. My girl is incredibly independent and creative which I believe is wholeheartedly down to Lilliput and their wonderful caring teachers and team. Thank you!

January 9, 2023 at 12:00 amA fantastic environment which encourages our son’s learning, independence, confidence and social skills. The staff there are very nurturing and build strong relationships with the children. Our son always looks forward to spending his time there, and they include a diverse range of teaching and free play. They also encourage field trips and outdoor time. We couldn’t have found a better place!

April 9, 2023 at 12:00 amAs a new mum going back to work, I was of course apprehensive about sending my son to nursery. Right from the initial contact with Lilliput Montessori Day Nursery, the staff were so kind and caring and the nursery has such a lovely home from home feeling. From settling in sessions to being there almost full time, every time he goes there I feel happy and comfortable that he is being looked after so well. I am honestly so impressed by how much he is developing since being at nursery. The staff always keep you up to date with day to day care, as well as updating photos and providing a thorough handover at the end of the day. He is always keen to go to the staff first thing in the morning! It makes such a difference to me going back to work knowing how happy he is.

May 19, 2023 at 12:00 amMy little boy has been attending the nursery since he was 6 months old – so for about a year. He has enjoyed every moment of it and has come on leaps and bounds. I cannot say how lovely all the staff are and they go above and beyond to help you out. Would definitely recommend.

June 2, 2023 at 12:00 amWonderful nursery to have my little boy at. I am a first-time mum and I was so nervous and sleep-deprived when we first started at the nursery. The team were lovely, warm and considerate. They took time to listen to my needs, and worked with me to settle us both into our new routine!
It has been 8 months now, and my little boy is settled and jumps out of my arms, all smiles, to go play and enjoy his day. His key workers are thorough and give detail about how his day has been and they put his needs first.
The updates are consistent on the App and I know how he has eaten and slept before I collect him. The monthly photos are a lovely perk to give me an insight into his world at nursery and all the activities they do there. We have had a few behavioural issues with my little boy and I must say, the nursery has been proactive in working with my son and me to help manage and move forward with us.
