A warm, community-rooted EYFS nursery in the heart of Hackney — built on care, belonging and a love for learning.
Little Lily Preschool is a warm, welcoming nursery established by the Suleymaniye Community Association — an organisation with deep roots in East London and a long history of serving local families. We opened our doors to give Hackney's youngest children a nurturing, inclusive place to begin their learning journey.
Set within a vibrant, diverse community, we believe that early childhood should be full of wonder, warmth and belonging. From the moment a child arrives, they are known by name, greeted with a smile, and supported to feel safe enough to explore, play and grow at their own pace.
As a charity-operated setting, every decision we make is guided by the needs of the children and families we serve — not profit. That means thoughtful care, qualified and passionate practitioners, and a genuine partnership with every parent who trusts us with their child.
We are committed to working with all children and families providing a solid foundation for every child's future learning and development. We will deliver a dedicated, nurturing and stimulating environment supporting children to achieve their full potential. We believe all children are unique in their own right and we encourage children to have a positive attitude and respect for both themselves and others.
We encourage a mindset of self-belief, confidence, curiosity and reliance allowing children to become the best version of themself.
