Review of Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel from Jacqui P (Grandmother of Child) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We as a family cannot praise Hopes and Dreams enough.My grandson who is now 3 has been at the nursery since he was 4 months old.We looked at a lot of other nurseries for him but nine had the aplomb of H&D. My daughter can leave him with 100% confidence that he will be cherished all day.
Thank you so much

We absolutely love Hopes & Dreams! The children are happy, well looked after, and kept busy with a fantastic range of activities. The Montessori approach really encourages independence, and the staff are wonderful at giving lots of praise and encouragement. Our child comes home confident and full of smiles every day. Couldn't recommend it more!

Review of Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel from V Q (Mother of Child) published on 1 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has been attending Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery Angel for over a year, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. After visiting several nurseries, this one stood out as the best by far. The staff are caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to the children's wellbeing and development. They organise a wide range of engaging activities, which our daughter thoroughly enjoys.
The potty training support was exceptional - within just a few days, our daughter was fully trained. We also really appreciate the variety of healthy meals, which have introduced her to many different cuisines and flavours.
The deputy head and head of the nursery, are incredibly kind and supportive. They are always approachable, quick to respond to any questions or concerns, and genuinely care about each child.

We have been so pleased with our experience that we've decided to enrol our second child there as well.

Reply from Sarah Phillips, Principal at Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel

Your feedback is so important to us and we strive to make everyday a day of learning and joy for the children (and the staff). Thank you for putting your trust into Hopes and Dreams.

Review of Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel from Paola M (Mother of Child) published on 29 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Hopes & Dreams is a brilliant nursery. Lovely settings with plenty of light and space, both indoors and outdoors; organic nutritious food; caring and competent educators.
Both management and educators are very responsive to the needs of the individual child, and make us feel like our daughter is understood and nurtured in a supportive and personal way.

And as a nice perk, the parents community is lovely too, we have met some great fellow parents that we enjoy spending time with in the waiting room and at the park after nursery!

Reply from Sarah Phillips, Principal at Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel

We love that the parent's community has established itself and you have a network of support. Thank you for allowing us to share these special years with you and your family.

As a parent, it is an anxious and overwhelming experience finding an establishment to accommodate for your child's development. Hopes and Dreams are an amazing Montessori nursery with lovely staff and a great reflection of an excellent childcare provider. My daughter absolutely loves it there and as a mum, my anxiety is calm with the consistency. They're attentive, supportive and have very nice facilities for the children to explore.

Amazing school. The teachers are truly fantastic. They genuinely care about our children and always made time to answer our questions. The teachers also went out of their way to ensure our children received materials that were suited for their current level, so that we could also see clear progress being made.

Review of Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Worship Street from Elena S (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Staff reassurance and care are real strengths. Drop-off can be a challenge for some children, but the team are quick to send a message or picture shortly after to let you know your child has settled and is happily reading or playing. That small gesture makes a big difference to a parent's day. Plenty of cuddles are given when needed, and my child eats well and sleeps well at nursery - clearly very comfortable in the environment.
It's been wonderful to watch the children grow in confidence and language skills. The nursery also nurtures values alongside learning - friendship, kindness, and caring for younger children are actively encouraged, and those values carry over at home too.

Dedicated music and sports sessions from external specialist teachers add great variety, and regular library visits nurture a love of books. It's this combination of emotional care, strong values, and rich experiences that makes Hopes and Dreams stand out.

Reply from Sarah Phillips, Principal at Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Worship Street
This review has made my heart sing! Nurturing the whole child is such an important aim for us all at Hopes and Dreams and to see this review shows the impact of this.
We are delighted that this approach doesn't go unnoticed.
Thank you so much,

Sarah

Hopes and Dreams Nursery at Worship Street offers a warm and welcoming environment for all children. We have been part of this lovely nursery for a couple of years, and our little one always looked forward to going there each day, feeling happy and confident. Magda, Zsuzsanna, and their amazing team are truly exceptional. The connections they foster with both children and parents are special, making us feel genuinely supported in our journey.

Review of Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel from Ivana Y (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The settling journey at the nursery has been great and went beyond my expectation. The staff was incredibly supportive in the journey, in both taking great care of my son and assuring me that my son is very happy at the nursery. In fact, my son is going to the nursery very happily every day! I can't be more grateful of the staff at the nursery and am very happy with my choice!

Reply from Sarah Phillips, Principal at Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel
My goodness what wonderful words. We are so pleased that your experience of nursery has been positive and supportive. We really appreciate the trust you put in to placing your child in our nursery and are grateful for the opportunity to share this magical journey of early childhood together.
Thank you

Review of Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel from Charity Y (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started attending Hopes & Dreams City Road shortly after he turned 1. If someone told me four months ago that I would one day feel completely at ease, and even excited, to leave my son in someone else's care for 8+ hours a day, I would have thought it was impossible, but that really has been my reality since the beginning because the H&D team has been incredible.
My son has formed secure and positive relationships with all the staff, he is always happy at drop off and pick up, and he is growing well physically and emotionally. My son has multiple food allergies which have been taken very seriously from the get go by everyone, from the chef to the Management team.

Chris (Head) and Sarah (Principal) deserve special mentions for working tirelessly and rigorously to elevate the standard of care and facilities at the nursery since their joining, and I am grateful for their leadership. The H&D team really do their work with pride and care - I cannot recommend this nursery enough!

Review of Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel from Katie M (Mother of Child) published on 14 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Hopes and Dreams for almost a year now, and we could not be happier that we chose to send her here. The staff in the babies room are all very experienced and so invested in the children's development. The variation in the activities that they expose the children to is incredible, and we have seen such an enormous improvement in our daughter's speech and social skills as a result. The team have also been really wondering in giving us helpful advice whenever we ask. The team and beautiful nursery head are always present to greet the children as they all arrive in the morning, and even teachers from the older classrooms seem to know all the other children by name. I feel very safe having our daughter at Hopes and Dreams.

Overall Experience
Our little one has just left Hopes & Dreams, ready to go to big school after 3 wonderful years. She has grown so much with the help of the staff who were always there to encourage, comfort, teach and listen to her. The staff were always accommodating, knowledgeable, kind and ready to help.

Our little one has gained immeasurable confidence and skills to take her through to her next stage at big school. We are very grateful.

Review of Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel from D C (Mother of Child) published on 24 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Review of Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel from Natalie S (Mother of Child) published on 24 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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 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.

Review of Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel from Kevin H (Father of Child) published on 15 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review of Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel from M C (Mother of Child) published on 15 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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.
