Overall a lovely nursery . Staff are friendly and helpful. They take the time to do amazing activities in and outside of the nursery . My little boy absolutely loves it there and loves all the staff. The staff are reassuring throughout the day and are happy to work along side you if there is change or things you need to start like potty training .

I could not ask for a better nursery for our daughter. To be honest I never want her to have to leave! I am constantly amazed by the care and imagination put into everything they do. Their updates are so thorough and full of wonderful memories. We feel so blessed to have HDC near us- it's an incredible place.

We were extremely worried about sending our little boy to nursery as he was very attached to us and had very little contact with anybody else. The baby room team were excellent at settling him in and in reassuring us that he was loving his time at nursery by sharing regular and detailed feedback/pictures. We can tell that our little one has made real and meaningful connections with the team and we feel confident going to work knowing that he is being looked after by people who show real passion and care for each child. The management team are very helpful and approachable. I really love that the Manager and Deputy appear to be really hands-on alongside the team; making a point to really know each child and family as well as being present in the rooms overseeing everything that happens. We are very thankful to the whole team for helping our boy to settle into nursery and for all the lovely experiences they give him.

Adore HDC Dartmouth! The team are remarkable and have so much fun making each day with the children so special. It's clear just how happy and content the children all are there. Recently the team have started to create videos of their big adventures out and about in the community. It is brilliant to witness how polite and engaging all the boys and girls are when meeting new people. HDC have an ongoing relationship with a local care home (The Fleet) and due to the frequency of their visits, you can really see the bonds being made between the young and the elderly. Learning isn't just from books HDC have a really holistic approach. My dealings with the management team have always been really positive and certainly have no issues with getting speedy responses. Can not thank the team enough for everything they are doing for not only my nephew but the others in their service.

The staff are fantastic, always so warm, friendly and calm. Our daughter loves attending HDC Dartmouth. The app is regularly updated with their activities and meals and there's always some lovely photos. The learning is excellent and they will happily mix ages of children if they think this will help improve their development. Our daughter has made some great friends and is always talking about the staff. Highly recommend!

We absolutely love HDC Dartmouth for so many reasons. The first is the care, attention and positivity the girls bring to our children. They are extremely aware of each child's needs, applying their expert knowledge & experience to manage situations, accommodate differing schedules and help to get the best out of them. Secondly is the creativity and joyfulness they bring to each day, one day never looks the same as the next! Whether this be going out on trips to the library, bouncy castle, supermarket or park to baking, crafts, arts, music, role play to educational activities which help build key life skills. Lastly, we love HDC Dartmouth because of the overarching attention to detail they provide in everything they do, notably in communication which is so important. Any child would be lucky to attend this nursery setting. Thank you!

I had my first child back in July '23. Being in the military and always moving around, I was particularly nervous about putting my child into a daycare especially somewhere I had only moved a month prior. Starting a new job myself and my daughter going to daycare I was anxious, however from the first visit at this daycare, everyone was so polite and welcoming! The process they have to introduce new children is amazing! Benefits both mother and baby, really helped with adjusting back to work. My daughter has grown and progressed so much being at this daycare! She gets to do so many activities, eat a brilliant variety of healthy food! My daughter has only cried once, this was when I picked her up the first full day she had. It goes to show how much she loves it there! The app is brilliant especially when I'm away from her for a week or so. And they are always happy to take calls if needed.

My son started nursery when he was 10 months old and it was very difficult and challenging, it took him long time to adjust and settle. We were greatly supported by all the team members including the manager during his settling-in period. All the teachers are nice and caring ladies who genuinely like my son and that's what is the most important for me. He likes them back and is very happy there. I also think that him starting nursery at very young age helped with his development. He is also building immunity. I can only recommend for your child to go to our nursery.

All the girls at Dartmouth are fantastic. My son loves going there 4 days a week. They do so much with him ie visiting the local residential home for the elderly which I find brilliant, great for the elderly to connect with the children. They go to the park often, do lots of painting, sensory, counting and reading. The staff are caring and approachable. The food they serve is good quality and lots of variety. I think they are all wonderful. Thank you!

Friendly and caring staff who accommodate my child’s allergies and encourage her development. Staff always have time to share how her day has been, I enjoy the updates on the app (sometimes they come through a bit late, and some more photos/moments would be great).
13 March 2024
The staff are very informative. It would be better to have more staff on busier days as fewer staff can result in more bumps and scrapes for the children. My child often makes something in a craft/creative session, which I see from photos, but I don't often have it sent home with my child. My child loves exploring outdoors, going to the library, going on the bus etc. More educational outings or visits would be useful including visitors to the nursery. Hygiene could be better as my child comes home looking sore on occasion. The nursery site is small (no separate spaces for eating or sleeping) so it can feel hectic, but they do ok with what they've got. More outside space would be ideal. Daily food costs are expensive and not value for money, I really think this should be made cheaper.

I have the pleasure of sending both my sons to HDC Dartmouth. If you're looking for a nursery to suit your children's needs then look no further. All the staff are very friendly, engaging and take a real interest in my boys' lives. They are very quick to reply to messages and always answer the phone. They are always willing to help my boys learn and develop in any way we need. Without the help of HDC Dartmouth, my boys wouldn't be the confident little lads they have become.

I can’t praise the nursery enough. My daughter loves going and I have absolutely no doubt that she is extremely well looked after. All the staff are friendly, kind and lovely! They do brilliant activities with the children and love seeing the photos.

My child is always happy, smiley and excited to go to nursery. I feel happy and comfortable leaving him with his nursery workers while I’m at work. I’m always kept well informed as to what he's been up to during the day. The staff supports and encourages development, learning and play. I feel a wide range of engaging activities are offered and explored weekly. If there have been any concerns or issues they have always been dealt with in a kind, caring but professional manner. I would highly recommend HDC to other parents.

Friendly and caring staff. We always appreciate the feedback at the end of the day and thankfully most of the time to say it's been a good day. I like seeing the updates on the app in the daytime, especially with food and sleep. Overall very pleased.

Since my child started last year, he has thrived in the setting. He runs in every morning and is making more friends. Every member of staff is so kind and professional. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a nursery for their child.

The team within Dartmouth are wonderful. Our daughter is from a military family, so we move around a bit. The toddler room are kind, welcoming, engaging and has supported our daughter's development as a 2-year-old amazingly. She goes in happy and comes out happy! That is all I need. Communication is good, handing over a summary of her day at nursery. The manager is reassuring, approachable and accommodating which reflects in her team! Amazing team! Thank you.

Just a lovely place with a very caring workforce. Always blown away by the rate of learning my child displays and how happy and comfy he is in and around hdc Dartington. Excited to be sending my second child there in a few months.

I was a German exchange officer in Dartmouth and my daughter enjoyed hdc Dartmouth Day Nursery for two and a half years. The staff always acted highly professionally and politely. My daughter had surgery following hearing problems and hdc set up a special individual programme to further enhance her bilingual development. When we left Dartmouth, English was her primary language thanks to the whole of the strong performing nursery staff. Especially the use of the app is absolutely state of the art and the German nursery she is going to now doesn't even consider a digitalised option like this. The key worker principle made perfect sense and the way how it was executed helped us extremely well to raise our daughter in these two and a half years abroad. The timings are super flexible and the staff always found a way to integrate my daughter straight away each day. This nursery is definitely our top recommendation and the goodbye situation there was the only one that made me cry when we left the UK.
