Lollipops is a wonderful nursery and staff have always been very supportive to both our children’s growth but also to us as parents. During the COVID-19, Lollipops has continued its excellence providing support in whatever way it can and safely too. Our children have really developed in so many ways
since coming to Lollipops! Thank you!

Absolutely brilliant nursery, fantastic staff, I can’t recommend this nursery enough. My granddaughter loves going to Lollipops nursery. The nurturing she has had since starting 2-years ago has been outstanding
I am sad that my granddaughter will leave this month and move onto primary school, but
I know that the staff at Lollipops have prepared her to go onto school a confident and happy child.
Thank you Lollipops, for the care you have given to her.

When we moved house we had to make a difficult transition with our two-year-old who was very settled at her old nursery. But the team at Lollipops were so supportive and really helped get her settled in at such a formative age. Once she found her feet, she now loves going to Lollipops and has formed
great relationships with the team and other children over the past year. Because this is the second nursery we have used, we have experience of two very different settings. We love the feel of Lollipops and the facilities are amazing. Having so much space and different rooms for the children to rotate around is brilliant and the garden is such a great space, especially with the forest school too.
Our one-year-old is now also starting at Lollipops and we look forward to her enjoying it just as much as her big sister.
As parents, we feel comforted that our children are being well looked after. The manager and the team show true care and enthusiasm in what they do.

My daughter started Lollipops at the beginning of the year and has settled in really well, so far she loves it there. All the staff are so friendly and kind, she has lots of fun there and always comes out with a big smile on her face. They are always doing fun activities inside and out and they encourage
her to play and mix with other children. The staff at Lollipops have managed my daughters needs very well observing and picking up on the little things. At the end of the day when I pick her up someone will tell me what she’s been up to, all the fun she’s had and how well she has eaten that day. My daughter has also bonded really well with all of the nursery staff, these are just some of the many reasons why I support this nursery. We are so happy that she will be spending another year here before starting reception next year. I would recommend any parent to send their child here as it’s such a warm and wonderful environment for my child to be learning and playing.

We were recommended Lollipops and have been so happy with them from the very start. Our daughter has been attending since baby unit and is now ready to leave for school this year. We feel our daughter has been looked after well from the start and we have been so impressed with the reports we get back
on her progress. Our daughter's confidence has really grown and her fast development has impressed us. We think a lot of this is down to the hard work of the Lollipops staff. The children are taught to be self-sufficient from a young age and we like that Lollipops take the children on various trips outside the nursery.


The staff are always so helpful and willing, whether it be helping to make birthday cards, good luck cards or just general requests for cooking, its never too much for them. The experience of the high-level management has been invaluable for us on a few personal challenges.


Thank you to all at Lollipops.

We as parents feel so grateful to have found Lollipops, both our daughters attend the Nursery, one in the Baby Unit and one on the Nursery Floor. The whole team are consistent, professional and caring individuals with strong Management behind them. We have seen both of our children develop really well
at the Nursery, knowing our girls really enjoy attending fills us with confidence that they are both happy in their childcare setting.


The staff encourage the children to get involved and to challenge themselves, which has seen our eldest daughter grow in confidence, she will be starting school in September and I feel that the Nursery Floor team are really helping her to prepare for this, developing her reading and writing skills, and we are very impressed with her progress.


The Nursery has great facilities, with a great outside space including a Forest School.


I would highly recommend this Nursery to anyone who is looking for a safe and caring childcare setting.

We as parents always feel we want the best for our children and departing from them for someone else's care will always feel somewhat guilty for a mother. So we took our time trying to find a suitable nursery for our son.


After talking to a few mothers, we decided to go with Lollipops. My son really

enjoys coming here. He has a bond with the staff, makes friends, learns a lot and brings home adorable work which we will treasure.


I feel Lollipops are professional, friendly and really care about their work and the children they look after. When my son attends, I am at ease, knowing he'll be in safe hands, having fun and learning lots at Lollipops.

This nursery is an excellent environment for young children to develop socially and emotionally, as well as being a great foundation for academic learning. Staff are energetic, kind, attentive and proving very good at disciplining my typically testing 3 year old! Most importantly my child comes home
happy each and every day with lots of stories of the various activities he has taken part in. In the summer months, there is a real focus on outdoor play and the garden is fantastic, the Forest School is an excellent asset too. Would definitely recommend!

Lollipop nursery was the second nursery we enrolled our daughter in after a bad experience (of her falling ill and being hospitalised) with an outstanding nursery. We were very sceptical and worried but Lollipop turned out to be the best decision we ever took for our daughter. The nursery delivers good
quality childcare and their years of experience is shown in the physical and psychological development of children. They take special care of my child and ensure any parental concerns are addressed with a lot of professionalism. My daughter loves going to her nursery and speaks volume of her experience when home. I highly recommend Lollipop to new parents and vouch for them.

Lollipops is an amazing nursery. Staff and management are extremely friendly, warm and professional. My daughter has been attending the nursery for the last year. She was difficult to settle in but she always has been given lots of attention and encouragement from the carers.
She only attends three
days a week, but I can see how she blossomed under their care. Her language and vocabulary skills improved a lot. She is constantly singing songs that she learned at the nursery and telling me what books they read at story time.
Very low staff turnover and they really get to know your child well. I have always been given lots of updates at the end of the day and they are always ready to listen to your feedback/needs.
Thank you Lollipops.

My daughter has attended Lollipops since she was nine months old and will be four this year. Not only does she love attending Lollipops, she is really thriving socially, academically, emotionally and physically. The staff at Lollipops have assisted with every milestone in her life from walking and jumping
to potty training and letter/number recognition.
The staff at Lollipops really do feel like family and we would literally be lost without their love and support. It will be sad to say goodbye to them next year but my daughter will be confident and ready for school, thanks to Lollipops.
I highly recommend this establishment to all the parents in need of a nursery for their children. You’ll be gaining a great support system for your whole family and some fantastic facilities including a Forest School! I’ve never known a nursery to have grounds big enough for a Forest School and it is a great asset for outdoor learning.
Lollipops - you are amazing, thank you for everything! We love you very much!

I previously viewed a few other nurseries before choosing Lollipops. Lollipops was by far the best for me by a mile, as I walked in I felt welcomed and the nursery felt like a family away from home for my son - which is exactly what I was looking for, rather than the “chain like” feeling you got with
the bigger nurseries.
He has come on leaps and bounds since beginning nursery last October, and I’m so happy with his progress on a daily basis. His speech especially as well as his interaction with other children his age.
Also, I am very happy with the way the nursery goes along with your views of your child’s upbringing which again makes it a home away from home for my son, i.e taking his dummy away from him so he doesn’t have it all day, etc.
I’ll also add that their safeguarding policies are up to a very high standard and have helped me personally, I cannot thank the team enough for the support they have given to myself and my son.

We are so pleased with our son's development and how comfortable he is at the nursery! They spend a lot of time outdoors which is fantastic for them all around. They get a nutritious menu every day, prepared fresh and accommodating any dietary preferences or needs. They keep the parent up to date on
the day and always spare a moment to chat about the day.

Very pleased with everyone at Lollipops. They have been amazing with my little one from her first day there. They have been really supportive when my little one moved from the baby unit to the nursery floor. Since moving to the nursery floor, she has started using lots of new words, counting etc. Really
impressed with their activities, happy that the kids actually get to spend time outside as well. Forest activities are great for the little one.
Happy with everything at Lollipops and I would recommend to anyone!

Our daughter has been going to Lollipops for over three years now and she has thoroughly enjoyed it. She has developed good social skills, reading and writing skills as is expected of her age and a nice, confident personality.


We like everything about the nursery as much as she does. We don't have

even a single complaint in all these three years. In terms of specifics, Lollipops has good facilities, trained and attentive staff and good food.


I would highly recommend Lollipops nursery.

I have 2 children that attend Lollipops and they both started in the baby unit and now are both in the nursery.
They both thoroughly enjoy their days at Lollipops and the time spent outside in the garden or at the on-site Forest school are the most favoured by the children. The hot lunches/breakfasts
provided are healthy and varied and has introduced both of my kids to foods they wouldn’t try at home. As for the staff, they are informative, fun, caring and always do the best for the child. I have and will continue to recommend Lollipops to any other parents considering private nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.924)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.924) out of 10 for Lollipops is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.924 for Lollipops is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.924

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lollipops is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 42 number of registered child places is 8.4, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
