For families
Your family's journey with Lily's.
Every route below ends in the same place, your parent portal, where families follow their place with us from the first question to the first day.
Three ways to start
Wherever you are up to.
Take the one that fits today. You can change route at any point.
When you are ready
Apply for a place
Applying happens inside your parent portal, so the first step is making an account. Once you are in, the application is yours to fill in a part at a time. It saves as you go, so you can stop and come back to it.
Book a visit
Come and see the rooms, meet the team and ask us the things that are easier to ask in person. Choosing a nursery is a big decision and a visit answers most of it.
Ask a question
For families just starting out. Tell us the days you need and your child's age, and we will reply to you personally about availability, fees and funded hours.
How it works
Four simple steps
Tell us about your family
Send an enquiry or book a visit. Either one is enough to start, and both reach the same team.
Join your parent portal
Make your account in one press, from your confirmation email or straight from this page. Your enquiry or visit is already waiting inside it.
We respond and guide your next steps
Our team picks your enquiry up and replies to you, and the portal is where we share updates about your place as things move.
Apply for a place
Your application lives in your portal and saves as you go. You can start it at any point, before or after we reply.
Start where it suits you.
Ask us anything, or come and see the nursery for yourself. Either way we will pick it up from there.
