Day Nurseries Owned by Dandelion Education Ltd

I could not recommend Dandelion more highly. I moved my little boy to Dandelion as he was struggling to thrive in a more traditional early years environment, and the change in him has been unbelievable. His confidence in communicating with other children is unrecognizable. I am so proud of how he expresses himself, his feelings, his questions, his opinions. I am so grateful to the staff for the magic that they work. The physical environment is a childhood paradise, and how they adapt their day’s plans to the children’s interests, the bugs they find or the games they are playing is superb.

I'm very happy we chose this school, I feel all the staff love working at Dandelion and that really shows.

Dandelion has given our son so many enriching opportunities to discover the world around him. He absolutely loves being outside every day in all weathers and has learnt so much since starting there. Dandelion has nurtured his love for building and creating and he will often come home with woodwork with drawn designs. They interweave many aspects of learning into the children's interests giving real reasons to learn. Dandelion has helped him develop strong friendships whilst also teaching respectful ways to negotiate and resolve conflicts through philosophy. We highly recommend this setting to any child who loves to learn and explore the great outdoors. Thank you Dandelion team!

Thanks for providing such a wonderful opportunity for her.

My little one has struggled in previous settings but is thriving here at Dandelion Education Ltd Day Nursery. He is developing both socially and emotionally. The staff at Dandelions have supported him in his transition into nursery and kept me updated on his progress continually. I am so pleased we made the move to Dandelions! Thank you team!

My 3-year-old son has been going to Dandelion Education Ltd Day Nursery in Aylsham since September and he absolutely loves it. He runs into the school every time we drop him. It’s helped his confidence in mixing with other children and adults. It’s a beautiful, safe setting in the woods with so much to explore with well thought out themes for each term. The teachers are all so helpful and positive and without doubt love working with the children here. I really like the teaching philosophy here, with the belief that even at 3-years-old children are capable of so much and they really encourage independence, encourage the children to question and reflect and of course just as importantly they have fun together.

Dandelion Education Ltd Day Nursery is a really lovely experience - it's a beautiful outdoor site and the staff are without exception incredible. I feel lucky my daughter gets to attend this setting, there is so much for the children to explore and play with. I feel completely certain that my daughter is in the best possible hands. I appreciate the way the staff talk about behaviour and model healthy, respectful relationships. The community of parents is really friendly and welcoming. It's a peaceful setting and my daughter comes home happy.

My daughter loves Dandelion Education Ltd Day Nursery. The nursery have differentiated for her complex needs and the one-to-one care they provide for her is beyond excellent. It's an extremely caring and professional nursery in a lovely outside setting. Can't praise the staff enough, it really is a special place and so glad my daughter has a place there.

Truly amazing staff. They're passionate about children and the environment is great! We can clearly see the difference in our son's development! He enjoys going to the nursery and loves to tell us about his activities. Our daughter used to go to Dandelion Education Ltd Day Nursery and she also loved it. We highly recommend!

My youngest has been at Dandelion Education Ltd Day Nursery for the past eight months following on from his sister who also attended before she started school. Both children thrived whilst at Dandelion. They engage the children by making learning fun and exciting, whilst also teaching them life values. My son can’t wait to tell me all about the adventures he’s had with his friends and the staff during his day.

It really is a great place for children to explore and learn important life skills that might be missed in a traditional nursery.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dandelion Education Ltd Day Nursery, the ethos, staff and incredibly rich, educational environment. Having had a difficult experience of a previous setting I was a little nervous but absolutely needn’t have been. The settling in process is absolutely child-centred and avoids increasing anxieties for children who are struggling with separation. I have already noticed a marked improvement in my daughter's use of language. She tells me she is "excited” to go to “Dandelions” and that speaks volumes. I have seen her in the company of all of the Dandelion adults and she is comfortable and confident will them all who are a happy, caring, kind, enthusiastic and proactive bunch of early years educators.

Our son loves this nursery so much that he wanted to attend from two days a week to four days a week within a couple of weeks! He has so much fun, loves all the grown-ups there, and made friendships that might last his lifetime. Highly recommended!

Dandelion provides an excellent service. The staff are informed, enthusiastic and committed. The woodland setting is fantastic and is the most obvious point of difference with other nurseries, but more important are the beliefs and attitudes of the staff towards child development, gender equality etc. The area in which Dandelion could improve is in administration, which they have recently addressed by recruiting an administrator.

I cannot rate this nursery highly enough. The staff are so kind, gentle and nurturing. They clearly love working with children and this shows in the way the children interact with the staff. I am amazed at how much my daughter learns when she is there, especially around understanding feelings and how to build relationships. I feel they have equipped her for school and the world. I have delayed her start to school so she can stay longer at Dandelion Education Ltd, Eaton.

Dandelion's is so much more than most nurseries. My daughter has been attending since September 2020 and was extremely shy with a speech delay. She has been supported so much in all ways and to help her become a sociable and confident individual. She absolutely loves attending. The staff are absolutely fantastic. The setting is wonderful; they change the stuff they have to play on all the time, so it's always new and exciting. It is simply the most wonderful experience for a child to go there; they get so much out of it and learn and develop in a way that your average nursery cannot compete with.

I am extremely happy with the education and care at Dandelion Nursery. My daughter has been going for 10-months. The staff went above and beyond to help her settle quickly, and she has thrived since joining. Staff are helpful, approachable and knowledgeable. I was very impressed with their knowledge of SEN, especially Sensory Processing Disorder. I would thoroughly recommend Dandelion.

We are so pleased we chose to send our children to Dandelion!

Dandelion, Aylsham has really improved my child's confidence. I am impressed by the dedication of all the staff and the care they give to the children. The ethos of the place and the way they encourage independence is a breath of fresh air.

My eldest daughter loved her time at Dandelion. She often brings up memories of Dandelion days still, and so naturally, we wanted our youngest daughter to have the full Dandelion experience too, and she too loves it. My husband and I both agree the place is actually kind of magical!
