Lilliput Pre-School Iver
GoodBirth to 8+Long established
A pre-school in Iver for children from birth to 8+, open sessions in term time, often mornings. They do not publish prices, so that is the first thing to ask. Rated Good by Ofsted in February 2025. Open since 2017, with 26 places.
What you might pay
This setting does not publish its fees, and no national dataset holds them. This is what childcare costs across the council, as a starting point for the call.
What childcare usually costs in Buckinghamshire
This is not this setting's price. It is the median hourly fee across all providers in Buckinghamshire from the Department for Education's 2025 provider survey. No national data holds what an individual nursery charges, so ring and ask.

What it is like to attend
Children arrive at the setting with great excitement and are warmly greeted by friendly staff. On entry to the pre-school, they place their belongings in the right places. Children swiftly choose from a wide variety of interesting activities, showing a true sense of belonging. Staff form meaningful bonds with children. Key persons get to know their key children well and successfully communicate their needs to each member of staff. This helps the team support children appropriately.
There is a clear focus on promoting children's communication and language, emotional and social skills. Children show great confidence as they talk to staff and their friends. Activities organised are frequently tailored to children's interests, such as an airport role-play set up for those recently back from holiday. This helps children learn appropriate language, such as naming items they select for the trip.
Another hands-on activity related to 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears', is popular amongst children. They use different sized bowls, spoons and character masks to retell the story with adult support. Staff supervise children effectively as they experience these spontaneous opportunities.
What Ofsted told them to improve
To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should:
- help staff to deliver an even more effective and well-organised curriculum outdoors that strengthens children's engagement and learning n target staff development on providing greater support for children to understand their emotions and enable older children to learn to resolve conflict by themselves.

What to ask them
None of this is in any national dataset and this setting has not published it, which is exactly why it is worth asking.
- What does it cost, all in? What is on top: meals, nappies, late pick-up, and what happens if you are late.
- Can I use my funded hours here? Whether they stretch them over the year, and the minimum days you have to book.
- Is there a place for my child's age? Baby rooms fill first and waiting lists are common.
- Who would my child's key person be? And how long have the staff been there. No dataset holds this and it matters more than anything above.
- Can I visit at a busy time? Mid-morning on a weekday tells you far more than an empty room after hours.
