A little about us

Looking for a reliable and trusted childcare centre in Plymouth? Feel free to contact one of The Cabin in Plymouth. We are dedicated to helping children learn, develop and grow.


The Cabin Nurseries are run by Karen Lilley as the Director and registered person.  Karen believes in supporting the whole family and working with the wider community to give each child the best start in life. She has worked in the Early Years for over 30 years and holds a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies and has Early Years Teacher Status.


Each of our day nurseries has a dedicated Manager responsible for the day to day running. They work to ensure that the staff and children are happy, parents are supported and all policies and practices are adhered to. Each Manager is trained as a Senior Designated Safeguarding Officer.


The Cabin is a strong team, who believe in helping each other and most importantly, helping all of our children and families. We have a dedicated SENCO at each nurseries and support referrals and EHCP preparation, if required.
