Lilliput Montessori on Portrush Road is an exceptional centre. Our child attended for three years and the experience was incredible from start to finish. The educators are caring, professional, and truly dedicated to each child’s development. The Montessori approach is clearly embedded, creating a calm, supportive environment where children build confidence, independence, and a genuine love of learning. Ari absolutely thrived here and formed wonderful relationships with both teachers and peers. We’re so grateful for the foundation Lilliput Montessori provided and couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Both of our children attended Lilliput Village Montessori, and we’re incredibly grateful for the wonderful educators there. The children truly loved going to Lilliput and gained so many valuable skills that go well beyond literacy and numeracy. We saw them grow more confident and independent each day, learning to take responsibility for themselves and their environment. The classrooms are beautifully set up—calm, welcoming, and engaging—which really supports the children’s learning and wellbeing

Lilliput Village Montessori (and Echoes) have been amazing, from the first interview 5 years ago to my son's last day last week. Oli would have challenged the staff to their limits, and beyond, as he has done with all other places he goes to, and yet, he seemed to have settled in well, with very few complaints, and with lots of patience and encouragements. Special thanks especially to Cath, and too many other staff members, who went way above to help me with the management of my children. It is a place with great memories.

Our family is incredibly grateful for the time Norah spent at Lilliput. It is truly a warm, nurturing, and beautifully organized learning environment. From the very first day, the teachers made her feel safe, welcomed, and genuinely cared for. Norah loved going to school every morning, and we could see how much she enjoyed the activities, the friendships, and the gentle way the teachers guided the children. The learning environment at Lilliput is calm, engaging, and thoughtfully designed. The teachers are patient, professional, and deeply dedicated to each child’s growth. We were especially impressed by how they encouraged independence, confidence, and curiosity—values we truly appreciate. We highly recommend Lilliput to any family looking for a caring, high-quality early learning environment. Thank you, Lilliput team, for all your hard work, kindness, and love. You have made a lasting and meaningful impact on our family.

I used to send all three of my children to Lilliput Village Montessori, and I can confidently say it was a wonderful foundation for their learning journey. Now, one is in Year 6 and the other two are in Year 3, and I still look back on our experience there with gratitude. Before choosing Lilliput, I tried a few other kindergartens — but this one truly stood out. It’s a small, nurturing environment where the staff genuinely pay attention to each child. Every time I picked up my kids, they were happy, calm, and fulfilled, which gave me confidence that they were not only cared for but actively engaged in learning. When I chatted with them about their day, I could clearly see how much they absorbed and how confident they felt. The Montessori approach really helped build independence and curiosity at an early age. I’m very thankful to the team at Lilliput for giving my children such a strong and positive start.

We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience our child has had at liliput. From the very beginning, the educators have been so full of love, warmth, and genuine care. They create a nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and supported. One of the most remarkable things we have seen is how the team has helped build child's confidence day by day. Through their encouragement, patience, and positive guidance, child has grown into a happy, independent, and curious learner. The educators truly take the time to understand each child’s individual needs and strengths, and they celebrate every milestone, big or small. Their passion for early childhood education shines through in everything they do. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of liliput Village and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a loving and empowering environment for their child.

Our family have been with Lilliput Village Montessori for 7 year and from day one, the staff have welcomed our boys with open arms, creating a warm and loving environment where they feel safe, happy, and excited to learn. The staff's kindness, patience, and dedication have made a huge impact on my boys' lives. They understand each child's unique needs and are always there to encourage them. Because of this, my boys have grown more confident and have developed so many new skills. Seeing my children's faces light up when they talk about their day and hearing all the fun stories they share is proof of the amazing experiences they have at Lilliput. Lilliput Village Montessori has played such an important role in my boys' early years. Their hard work and dedication is evident and our family is so grateful for the positive influence Lilliput has had on their lives. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!

What is a Top Rated Centre? A top rated centre must have 5 star average reviews rating, as well as 'Exceeding' or 'Excellent' NQS rating. The National Quality Standards are a set of national benchmarks for early childhood education and care services. It includes seven quality areas like "Children's health and safety" and "Educational program and practice".
Criteria:
The National Quality Standard (NQS) is part of the National Quality Framework (NQF), introduced to enhance the quality of early childhood education and care services in Australia. Developed by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA), the NQS provides a benchmark for childcare services, from long day care and family day care to preschools, kindergartens, and outside school hours care. Under the NQS, childcare services are assessed and rated for the quality of education and care they provide. These ratings give parents a clear understanding of how well a service meets national standards, helping them make the best choice for their child’s needs.
Our average ratings are calculated from authentic parent reviews submitted directly on the Care for Kids website, as well as reviews on Google.
Verified Centres are vetted by Care for Kids. As part of this process, Verified Centres undergo a financial assessment to ensure their reliability and credibility. We maintain an ongoing relationship with Verified Centres and provide them with support so they can offer you fresh and accurate information.
