Dream Catchers Nursery is a fabulous establishment. They have been extremely accommodating to me and my little girl.
I can see my little girl developing wonderfully and she loves all her nursery teachers.
She has exposure to a range of activities that are different each day.
She is nutritionally
well-fed here too.
Just an all-around great place for my little one. Thank you.

I have 3 children that have all attended different nursery settings but my youngest is currently at Dream Catchers Nursery. This has been the best nursery for us as the staff are absolutely amazing. Every member of staff has a bond with my child that makes her feel safe and taken care of. She really
enjoys going to the nursery and I can relax knowing she is in the best hands. We have had nothing but positive words to say about Dream Catchers and we are grateful every day for the team. Thank you for everything you do.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery for a year now, since she was 8 months old. Due to the pandemic, I have never been able to go inside with her, but the staff have been fantastic. We get regular updates on her progress along with photos on the private nursery group.
She has come on leaps
and bounds with her speech and motor skills and is always over the moon to see all the staff. We would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone in the area!

I'll be honest, the thought of putting my daughter into nursery was always going to be daunting for me. I had absolutely zero clue how to go about it, I'd never done it before! What sort of entitlement was she allowed? Does she have to go every day? What is a gateway code? Do we pay? How long can she
go for? And all that was explained by a simple phone call. The staff and management are always there to help whenever you might need it. I couldn't wait to visit and see what it was like. It was like a step back in time to when I used to go. There are different rooms for different ages. They have tonnes of activities, and also update the Facebook page regularly so you can see all the children having lots of fun. The menus are amazing! I wish I could have my breakfast, dinner and tea there. My daughter started off being really shy, but now she has to be reminded to say goodbye to me at the door, as she's too busy rushing in. It is such a lovely nursery.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for almost six months. She has a mild form of cerebral palsy and also delayed development.
I cannot thank the staff at Dream Catchers enough for everything they have done for my daughter so far. She has 1:1 support and they are amazing with her and her additional
needs. I have noticed a massive difference in my daughter already since she started attending.
I get regular updates about how my daughter is getting on, what she has eaten and what she has been doing that particular day. I also love all the photos that the nursery put on its Facebook page.

My son has been at Dreamcatchers since he was 6 months old (now 3 years old) and they have supported his care, growth and development amazingly since he joined. I feel very comfortable leaving my son with the team, he has an excellent relationship with all staff and they always give feedback on his
day.
He has come on leaps and bounds since being at nursery and the social experience has been fantastic for him. I’ve just had a new baby and when the time comes, I would only send her to Dreamcatchers!

Our son has been attending Dreamcatchers now for just over a year. We have always been really impressed with the care that he receives, and when we speak to the team you can always tell they genuinely care about the children they are looking after. When dropping him off we are always 100% confident
that he is going to have a great day. We are always impressed to hear the meals he's had as well, it seems a really well thought out menu. We would always highly recommend Dreamcatchers to all our family and friends.

Being a first time mum and bringing a baby up in lockdown, going back to work and leaving my baby with relatively unknown people was daunting. However, Dreamcatchers made it so much easier and they did so well with my daughter who had separation anxiety for a while.
I would highly recommend them to
any parent. My daughter loves going and enjoys her time there, she has built bonds with her key workers and has come on so much with her development. Communication from the nursery is fantastic and they are very accommodating. Fab nursery.

Brilliant nursery, all the staff are so welcoming and friendly to my children and me.
They work with my children's preferences and little quirks, my eldest wants to go back, she's at school now. My youngest loves it and he can't wait to go. Brilliant care and great communication.
Thank you, Dream
Catchers.

My little girl has been going to Dreamcatchers since before she turned 2. It wasn’t long until she settled in and was running into the doors all by herself with a smile on her face. She has come on leaps and bounds since coming here and I know she is well looked after and cared for. When you're a full
time working mum you often feel a bit guilty, but I know when my daughter is at nursery she is having so much fun and doing some sort of learning and interacting. She really loves going and the girls are great. The girls here are so understanding and listen to anything you want for your child and the way you want things to be done. My little girl did her potty training here and they were so understanding and my little girl had it sussed in a matter of weeks. Would highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.963)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.963) out of 10 for Dream Catchers Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for Dream Catchers Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.963 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dream Catchers Nursery is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 34 number of registered child places is 6.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.8 = 0.588

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
