Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Angel

Jacqui

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!

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

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!

We couldn't be happier with our experience at the nursery. Everything has been wonderful from day one and our child absolutely loves going in every day. The real highlight is the staff - they are so caring, warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children's happiness and development. Highly recommend!

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.

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!

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!

The staff are exceptional. They are extremely warm, friendly and they always keep the parents involved and informed. I have seen great improvement in my children since they started attending the nursery.

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.

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!

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.

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.

In summary, I would wholeheartedly recommend hopes and dreams to other parents seeking a reliable, nurturing environment where their children can thrive.

My niece started at the nursery in December 23’ and honestly she has already progressed so much. I am doing the pickups every now and then, and I have never seen a very humble management at any place a fact. The principal met us at the reception and asked us about how we were? And how was our day? She even asked me if I need tea or coffee! Such kind things to ask anyone especially in today’s world when no one has time for anyone. I highly recommend this place and their educational program is highly effective and the best so far as my niece has changed three nurseries in the last two years. This is by far the top-level nursery in the area. Well done Hopes and Dreams team.

I am so happy with this nursery. My daughter is excited to go in and see her teachers and friends every morning and sometimes it is hard to leave during pick-up times. She comes home telling me all the fun things and new things she learned in the day with so much excitement. Seeing my daughter smile and be happy every day is a testament to a wonderfully managed nursery. Thank you!

A lot has changed since my daughter joined nursery, all the staff are very friendly and helpful! In the beginning, I almost wanted to give up as every time she cried once she stepped into the nursery, however, the lovely hopes and dreams team encouraged me not to give up, and now I am very grateful! We hope the app can update children’s activities at any time, this app needs to be strengthened. I love the meetings between teachers and parents so that we can share more ideas each other, as well as the online meetings, it is very helpful for us to gain more knowledge on how to better educate our child.

My daughter enjoys and tells me what happened and what she did every time with a smile. The management team and teachers are wonderful, helpful and very kind. I highly recommend Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery School.

I’m so happy that I have chosen this nursery for my son! I can see in a few weeks how he is developing all his skills and it’s amazing how professional is the staff! They are doing great activities they are eating amazing food and the place is dreamy for children! Also my son’s key person is so helpful and professional not only to me but also to my baby. One member of staff in particular is the first person that I met and she explained to me in a professional way everything and is always available to support in any matter! I would definitely recommend this nursery!

We are always notified of what's going on in the school through the app. If there is a minor incident, we get calls immediately telling us what a parent would like to know to be sure. We got plenty of photos and videos uploaded to the school app so that we can take a peek, what fun they have. That's an invaluable memory.
