I went to view Lilly Brook Pre-School today. Such lovely and friendly staff and set within a ideal location. I know my little boy will be well looked after here and he can't wait to start.

Report
This pre school is brilliant! My eldest son attended for 2 years - he was very happy and progressed in so many ways whilst at Lily Brook, because of the support and excellent care he received. The staff have a great bond with the children and a lot of thought goes into the layout of the setting and activities on offer. Even though my eldest is now at school, he still misses his pre school. My youngest son is now loving his time there. In my opinion you wont find a better setting than Lily Brook.
