From Joining Big Dreams Nursery my daughter settled in quickly with the help and encouragement of the wonderful staff! She has enhanced her skills and development with their support and dedication. All the staff are super helpful in resolving queries and ensuring her needs are met. She loves playing
and engaging in their well thought out activities. We are so grateful to have found this Nursery.
Highly recommended Nursey!!

Outstanding nursery with exceptional staff. We couldn't be happier with this fantastic new nursery. The real selling point is the staff is kind, caring, and always willing to go above and beyond for both your child and family. Their warmth and dedication make all the difference. Another highlight is
the daily communication. While I'd love to spend every moment with my little one, the regular updates and photos of activities bring such joy and reassurance each day. After just three weeks, we've already noticed a huge boost in our little one's confidence and I have no doubt this is down to the incredible support and encouragement from the staff. What truly sets this nursery apart is how they treat each child as an individual, catering to their needs in such a thoughtful way. We couldn't recommend them highly enough for the warm and welcoming experience they've provided.

Amazing nursery and lovely staff! So well kept and has loads of space and activities for children to play! My son took a while to settle into nursery, the staff were so patient and attentive to my son's needs. He has now settled in so well to nursery and I get daily pictures of him which I love! My
son has a speech delay and they support him and myself so well with this!
Couldn't have picked a better nursery!

Love love big dreams. The nursery itself and the staff are amazing. They really go all out! They care for my daughter like their own and she loves coming back multiple times a week. So glad I chose big dreams over the other local nursery.

I am absolutely delighted with Big Dreams Nursery! My daughter, who initially didn't speak English, has adapted wonderfully thanks to the incredible support from the staff. Everyone is exceptionally caring and welcoming, particularly one member of staff who has been instrumental in my daughter's smooth
transition. Her ability to communicate in our native language is a bonus but it's her overall warmth and dedication that truly make her stand out. This caring and committed approach is a pattern at Big Dreams, evident in all the teachers there. The nursery's environment, equipped with Montessori-style toys and facilities, is perfectly designed for children's development. The food is another highlight - nutritious, tasty and much enjoyed by my daughter, setting Big Dreams apart from other nurseries. We truly couldn't be happier and highly recommend Big Dreams Nursery for providing such a nurturing and enriching experience.

We are absolutely delighted with Big Dreams Nursey! My little boy is very happy there, we get updates throughout the day and get to talk to the teachers on pick-up at length which I really appreciate. They are all very kind and the nursery is so beautiful, high ceilings, new toys and a great outdoor
area!

Our daughter started at Big Dreams Nursery when they first opened and has absolutely loved it there ever since. We saw a few nurseries but weren't sold on any until we walked in and saw all the activities and rooms they have here and instantly knew this is the one we wanted. All the staff are very friendly
and keep us up to date each day on the app. Our daughter can't wait to get there each morning.

We visited so many nurseries before choosing Big Dreams Nursery and we are so glad to have made that choice.
There were two things that particularly stood out to us.
1. The incredible facility. The team that has designed this place really took their time and creative ability to build something so
perfect and have thought of every possible scenario. We loved the sensory room which, no doubt, was used plenty of times during the settling in period. Everything was so clean, organised and spacious. Kudos to the team for this.
2. The staff. We were met with some incredibly friendly, happy and confident people who knew what they were doing but most importantly, were so patient with us as first time parents, really understanding our anxieties and helping us transition into this new chapter of our lives. They cared and seemed like they really enjoyed their job but most importantly, understood the importance of their role in our child's development. Thank you team.

I am so happy and pleased I found this nursery for my 3-year-old daughter, the staff are absolutely incredible, the care and love given to the children is heartwarming. My child went to another nursery and it doesn't even touch this one, she has learnt so much, she's happy, she's excited to go to there...
waves me goodbye!
As for the nursery itself, it is breathtaking, clean, organised and creative!
I can't thank the staff there enough. You're all amazing!

My 2-year-old has been attending Big Dreams Nursery since June 2024. The nursery has been fantastic, flexible and nurturing. He is really thriving in all areas of his development. The communication is excellent and I feel confident that my son is cared exceptionally.

We enrolled our daughter at Big Dreams Nursery in June 2024 and we are very happy with it. The staff are incredibly attentive, caring, friendly and knowledgeable. They create a warm and nurturing environment that our daughter absolutely loves.
The nursery uses an app to keep us well-informed about
our child's progress and daily activities and makes staying connected with the nursery effortless.
The facilities are amazing. The area designated for the kids is impeccably clean and equipped with new toys and learning materials. They also have a nice, big outdoor area where the children can play and explore safely.
We're very pleased with the nutritious food provided. The menu is well-balanced and varied.
The opening hours are very convenient for working parents.
Overall, the nursery has exceeded our expectations in every way. Our daughter is happy and thriving and we highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, engaging and caring environment for their child.

Amazing nursery, amazing staff, everything is brand new, great outdoor space for the kids, they get to go on trips out, food seems to have a great variety. I moved my children to be with the manager, deputy manager and the girls as they are so amazing, I wouldn't have anyone else look after them.

So far, so good. Staff are friendly and helpful. The nursery is amazing. My son has only been going since July but I feel it's a safe environment to leave him. The key workers and staff are very good with him and I have recommended this place to other mothers.

My little boy started back in May and since he started, Big Dreams Nursery has been so accommodating and very welcoming upon every arrival. All the staff are friendly and approachable if you ever have any queries. He now is settling in well and has good bonds with both the staff and his friends.

My son has been attending Big Dreams Nursery since it opened its doors and I couldn't be happier with him there. He settled well, although English was a foreign language to him. It's lovely to see how friendly the girls are and they seem to work together well as a team. The culture from the top seems
to be setting the right tone which is obvious as the owner genuinely seems lovely and caring.
They already have done a few outings which have been amazing and I get updated about his day and progress daily.
The nursery is also brand new with some of the best toys I have seen (I have two other kids, so used to nurseries) so there is always something to keep the children busy.
Would highly recommend to anyone.

Big Dreams Nursery has been very welcoming of our 2.5-year-old son. He was previously at another nursery and they made sure that they had a meeting to discuss my son's needs and that handover was smooth sailing for our son and for us, as parents. My son has sensory issues around food and they are adapting
the menu to make sure he is able to have something even if he doesn't like the food on the normal menu. The app is fantastic as you're able to have direct contact with staff and follow your child's learning journey. The nursery is super inclusive and the nursery owner is a qualified speech and language therapist, with our son having SEN siblings, we felt he was going to be best supported here on his journey. They have a sensory room and outdoor learning space which is accessible to all children as most nurseries only have in the baby room. We have friends/neighbours with children at Big Dreams Nursery who are also very happy. We would highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for Big Dreams Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.944 for Big Dreams Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (272 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Big Dreams Nursery is based on 24 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
