My son started nursery when he was just over 1 year old and thanks to the staff he managed to settle in very quickly. The staff are lovely and take good care of the children. My son is always happy to go to nursery and also looks happy when he is being picked up from nursery. I am overall very happy
that my child is in good hands and is making good progress physically and mentally. I cannot recommend Hopes and Dreams Nursery enough.

My two children have attended this nursery over the past 3 years and they both thoroughly look forward to going to nursery. The staff are fantastic - super attentive and so supportive of each individual child's needs. The breadth of activities and educational opportunities the nursery provides is fantastic
and both children have benefitted so much from their time there. The Montessori teaching is superb and I always know what my children are working on and what their short-term and long-term aims are. The nursery and staff are also very keen to foster a sense of independence in all the children, so they are both very independent. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Our daughter has been attending Hopes and Dreams since she was nine months old (full-time from eleven months) and we are thrilled with this fantastic nursery. She is very happy and settled and every member of staff is amazing - they all genuinely seem to love working with the children and helping them
grow and develop. We're delighted to see how much our daughter is learning through all the activities and opportunities provided for her at Hopes and Dreams. Many members of staff have worked there for many years, which we think is clearly a testament to the positive atmosphere and community established here. Compared to many other nurseries in the area that we considered. Hopes and Dreams is also a lovely bright space with a separate napping area, with direct access to a garden. Menus are varied and nutritious, and our daughter generally eats very well at home too. Communication is consistently excellent. Couldn't recommend it enough!

Our daughter joined the nursery when she was 18 months old. We are very pleased with the care and support she receives. She enjoys going to nursery, has made friends, and gets along well with carers. Her communication skills (fluent bilingual), curiosity, and physical abilities have developed superbly
over the 2 years she has attended nursery.

We have been really delighted with our son's progress since he started at Hopes and Dreams in August. It is a very caring and loving environment - every staff member in the building (even those who do not work in his room) know him and warmly speak to him every day. It is very reassuring to us when
leaving our young baby each day. We have confidence that he's well looked after, and in an environment where he can thrive. There is a warm and friendly atmosphere that really makes us feel welcomed.

My daughter is almost two years old and has been attending Hopes and Dreams Angel since she was seven months. Despite her early age, the staff made the settling-in process smooth and minimized the stress for both us and our baby.
Within a few weeks, they earned our full trust. When we dropped my daughter
off, she would happily lean towards the teachers and smile. When we picked her up, she was always cheerful and well cared for. Now that she is older, she often expresses her enthusiasm for nursery and, when picked up, doesn't anxiously call for us.
The teachers in her room are consistently attentive and deeply invested in her well-being, as well as her intellectual and physical development. Her key person has been exceptional in providing us with regular updates on my daughter's activities, progress, achievements, and challenges.
In summary, I would wholeheartedly recommend hopes and dreams to other parents seeking a reliable, nurturing environment where their children can thrive.

My daughter has been at Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery School for about 9 months now.
She is extremely happy and is very excited going to play and learn with her friends, every single day.
The staff are both very professional and also care a lot about the children. They are the key outstanding
strength of the nursery.
They have gone out of their way to make sure our daughter is happy on a daily basis and support her in her growth and development.
The children are engaged in many different activities, have the chance to taste many different types of food and are extremely well taken care of.

My niece started at the nursery in December 23’ and honestly she has already progressed so much. I am doing the pickups every now and then, and I have never seen a very humble management at any place a fact. The principal met us at the reception and asked us about how we were? And how was our day? She
even asked me if I need tea or coffee! Such kind things to ask anyone especially in today’s world when no one has time for anyone. I highly recommend this place and their educational program is highly effective and the best so far as my niece has changed three nurseries in the last two years. This is by far the top-level nursery in the area. Well done Hopes and Dreams team.

I am so happy with this nursery. My daughter is excited to go in and see her teachers and friends every morning and sometimes it is hard to leave during pick-up times. She comes home telling me all the fun things and new things she learned in the day with so much excitement. Seeing my daughter smile
and be happy every day is a testament to a wonderfully managed nursery. Thank you!

A lot has changed since my daughter joined nursery, all the staff are very friendly and helpful! In the beginning, I almost wanted to give up as every time she cried once she stepped into the nursery, however, the lovely hopes and dreams team encouraged me not to give up, and now I am very grateful!
We hope the app can update children’s activities at any time, this app needs to be strengthened. I love the meetings between teachers and parents so that we can share more ideas each other, as well as the online meetings, it is very helpful for us to gain more knowledge on how to better educate our child.

Hopes and Dreams is an excellent nursery, which I feel confident saying, having had children attend several.
Our son is extremely happy at the nursery, and the staff and especially his key worker, are hugely kind and clearly care for him. He likes the other children at the nursery and often talks
about his friends and the staff.
The Montessori elements seem to engage him and are evidently extensive. In addition, the “core” play equipment is impressive - including his favourite climbing frame and kitchen area.
Whilst the nursery does not have any outdoor space, per se, the nursery does an extraordinarily good job both of using the spaces it has available, including the downstairs sports area, and most importantly the parks and library. The additional staff who come in for sport and music clearly add to the fun.

We had a very positive experience for the 8 or so months my 4-year-old attended on an ad hoc basis using the drop-in service. We didn’t need fixed sessions or as much as the minimum requirement for a place so although significantly more expensive per hour, this gave me flexibility with days and timings.
I found the management and the team always accommodating and efficient in arranging sessions but also great with the kids. Things always felt organised and the nursery is a nice, bright, modern space. The kids seem to be exposed to a range of activities that are led by caring and engaging staff who seemed to know my daughter well despite our irregular attendance. My daughter also found separation very difficult and the team were excellent in helping to settle her. I would definitely recommend Hopes and Dreams.

I’m so happy that I have chosen this nursery for my son! I can see in a few weeks how he is developing all his skills and it’s amazing how professional is the staff! They are doing great activities they are eating amazing food and the place is dreamy for children! Also my son’s key person is so helpful

I highly recommend Hopes and Dreams to other families seeking a nurturing and enriching nursery experience for their children. The dedication and professionalism of the teachers, along with the overall welcoming atmosphere, make it a wonderful place for kids to learn and grow.
Thank you, Hopes and Dreams, for providing such a positive experience for my son and our family. We couldn't be happier.

We came back home to London after spending many years in the States, and we were so worried our son would have a difficult time adjusting. Luckily, within a very short period, my son was offered a place and the staff really made our adjustment easy.
My son not only adapted well but also enjoys going
to the new environment because of the friendly staff. Everyone is so caring, flexible and personal when they approach the children. My son hugs his teacher every day and tells us so many exciting things he has done in school every day. I think that says it all. The children are enjoying themselves.
We are always notified of what's going on in the school through the app. If there is a minor incident, we get calls immediately telling us what a parent would like to know to be sure. We got plenty of photos and videos uploaded to the school app so that we can take a peek, what fun they have. That's an invaluable memory.

Hopes and Dreams is an outstanding nursery, and I would recommend it without hesitation in the strongest possible way to everyone! Our daughter has attended in a 'drop-in' capacity, which has always been ideal for us as my husband and I run our own company, so our working lives are never the same from
one week to the next! This service has been gold dust, and the flexibility has been remarkable, thanks to the fantastic staff at the nursery. Our daughter's teachers and key people have been warm, patient and kind with her, and our little one is quite shy, so I was worried when we first started as to how she might get on without me. She has loved every minute of it, asking to go every morning and if it's not a nursery day, asking when the next one will be! The education, the activities, the staff, the food, the resources, the communication with parents and generally everything they do are second-to-none, and we are so happy we joined Hopes and Dreams - it is the best place!
