Day Nurseries Owned by Forfar Education in Dorset

My little boy has been going to Little Crickets for over a year now and honestly could not have picked a more perfect place for him. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and have made lovely connections with my child and others I see on pick up. He comes home with everything he's learnt and being able to be outside and enjoy activities like growing their own fruits and vegetables is so wholesome.

I'm beyond grateful to Emma, Elena and Dylan for making this school such a core memory for myself and my little one.

Since attending little crickets we have noticed our child's much improved confidence and general happiness. He loves going to forest school and loves being outdoors all the time. The staff are really supportive and nurturing. We are very happy to entrust little crickets with the care of our child!

Since we have started sending our Daughter here she has come out of her shell and her confidence has increased so much we are so happy with everything that staff are doing to support her.

Friendly staff, excellent facilities for the children. The use of the app is also very helpful. Never had any issues in the last 6 months.

Trustworthy, transparent, kind and caring just a few words to describe this lovely place. The world is a hard place for families but this nursery is a power house of positivity and a safe place with the warmest atmosphere. One Nursery Practitioner I first met showed incredible kindness, and after my son coming here for a year, this is genuine, she is a force of good and an asset to the nursery. The Manager is incredibly switched on, and treats her team with respect which reflects upon her teams great attitude and motivation, in particular the Nursery Team are outstanding. The quality of staff is outstanding, these guys are trained very well, our son has speech delay they sat us all down created a program for him and actively push his ability.

I think a good nursery is kind to parents too, and honestly they are always accommodating, kind and present.They actively invest in new facilities so you see you money going back into the nursery quality.

My son has been loving life at nursery and he is really growing into a young man who loves to interact with others. The staff are wonderful and always keep us informed on anything relating to him.

The staff are fantastic, always going above and beyond.

The staff at Dean Park Nursery are amazing and very professional, they really care about our children. One of my sons has special needs and they make sure he has the right activities to help with his development. The premises are very good, especially the outdoors. I would recommend Dean Park to any parent looking for a nursery for their child. Thank you.

Dean Park is an excellent Nursery. My daughter has been going there since September 2022 and has had the most wonderful experiences there. She regularly does activities that are so interesting and teach her a lot. I'm always amazed by what she comes home with and what they've taught her. There's a real atmosphere of love and family at the nursery and they are incredibly welcoming to every member of the family. I often tell them that it takes a village to raise a child and they are firmly part of my village. The staff really clearly care about the children and they're passion for childcare really shows. Their outdoor space and attitude to outdoor play in all weathers is what set them apart for me.

My 2-year-old enjoys every day indoors and outdoors. The playground is the highlight, very spacious. The only thing I would recommend is to allow resident full-time kids to spend at least one day per week at The Forest School.

My daughter currently attends and is in the baby room. She is so happy to go in and has an amazing bond with the staff who care for her. The communication is excellent. I always know how she is, her mood, how she has eaten and slept and what she has got up to. The facilities are fantastic. The staff are friendly and enthusiastic and easy to talk to. We are very happy with our daughter's progress.

Our son joined Dean Park Day Nursery in May 2024 and we could not be happier. As first-time parents our nerves and fears were quickly settled and all the staff have been incredible and supportive, guiding us along the way. Our son adores his key nursery workers and now he runs into the nursery room without a backward glance. The staff keep the app up to date so we can see everything he does from nappy changes to food and naps. Thank you!
