Overall Experience

Our son has settled into Daydream nursery really well. The staff are really friendly, very welcoming and provide a wide variety of activities for the children to take part in each day. It really feels like the staff show an interest in getting to know the children. The updates on the app are great so you can keep track of what your child has been up to etc. The management team are very hands on and respond quickly when messaging on the app.

We are incredibly happy with Daydream nursery. Our daughter loves it there having built a lovely friendship group and incredible connections with all the staff members whether they are in the room or not. All staff members are very friendly and make you feel very welcome and part of a family. They support us and our daughter in her journey through the nursery offering a wide range of activities at the nursery and out on trips. We would highly recommend it to all.

The incredible staff at Day Dream nursery took time out of their weekends to throw an amazing Christmas party for the children last weekend. They decorated the rooms and organised Christmas themed activities for the children, we especially loved the hot chocolate station! The children and parents had the best time and were treated to a visit from Santa! Thank you to all the staff who made this so magical for the children and for the amazing job they do every day.

Overall Experience

My little girl loves daydreams! She loves her friends there and the staff! It's such a relief as a parent to know that when you drop them off, even if there are tears that they have an amazing day! She loves telling me all the nursery teams' names on the way home! The outside space was a huge selling point for me, having lots of grass and/or mud for her to explore was key and so many nurseries have only tiny outdoor spaces with Astro!

Overall Experience

Really pleased with the Daydreams nursery in Woking. The staff are all genuinely friendly and warm, creating a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. We're consistently impressed by the activities they plan; they are great, interactive, and clearly provide excellent learning opportunities for the children. Beyond the people and program, the facility itself is well-equipped, and the garden area is a wonderful space for the kids to play outside. A major bonus is the nursery's app, which works incredibly well and is fantastic for getting daily updates, seeing photos, and staying completely in the loop about what the class has been up to.

Overall Experience

Our son has been attending Daydream since September and he absolutely loves it. He has settled in so well and is really happy there which is testament to how lovely the nursery is and how everyone has made him feel welcome. He really likes his key worker Lily (as do we) and we also love how much he has settled with the other staff members too. The regular photo updates are great and we love seeing how his days are filled with lots of activities. We couldn't recommend Daydream enough and are so pleased he is enjoying it so much.

Daydream is a fabulous nursery. We felt so lucky to get a place for my daughter. She has absolutely loved her first couple of terms in Little Steps. The staff are great - they are always so sweet with her and genuinely care about the children they look after. My daughter comes home having had all sorts of brilliant fun - painting, running around outside, trips to the park, playing with bubbles etc. it is really lovely! The team are also very quick to contact you if there is an issue (illness or accident) and take their follow up and handovers really seriously. I would highly recommend Daydream to other families.

My boys have only recently started at daydream nursery, but they have gone above and beyond already to settle them and myself, there seems to be great opportunities for the children(extra curricular activities) and all the staff seem very happy and appreciated which makes a massive difference in their ability to support my children's needs. Their communication is perfect, transparent and puts my conscience at ease with mum guilt!! Really really grateful for the support from the management team and their patience with my setup process as it wasn't straight forward! Thank you for making us feel so welcome!!

Overall Experience

Our son has been at Daydream nursery for the last 18mths after moving him from another setting. From day one he hasn't looked back, it was like he'd always been here, he has formed wonderful relationships with staff and children, and he is so incredibly happy here. It's a real family setting with a wonderful cosy feel to it. The garden is a lovely large space, with lots to explore, the mud kitchen is a big hit with our son. The team work so incredibly hard to facilitate exciting and engaging learning experiences each day. The Preschool team have gone above and beyond to prepare the children to move on to their next chapter in September. We are so very grateful to the whole team for giving our son such an incredible start, he has absolutely thrived during his time at Daydream nursery. We would highly recommend the nursery, and will be very sad to say goodbye when our son starts school.

Both our sons attend DayDream nursery and they absolutely love it! The staff are so friendly and passionate about the work they do. In the preschool room my son's writing, drawing and vocabulary skills have developed so much and he loves going in each morning. My youngest son's social and emotional development is progressing so much. Would highly recommend this nursery.

Our son - who is off to school in September - has absolutely thrived at Daydream Nursery. His confidence has grown hugely over the years he's been there, and we can see week to week how much he's learning and developing in their pre-school. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the setting. The staff are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and so nurturing towards the children. They have set the children up incredibly well for school.

We are very thankful to all the staff for showing our son such care and kindness in the time that we've been with Daydream. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

My daughter has attended Daydream for the past 2.5 years and has moved from their baby room, to the toddler room and through to pre-school. She has been so happy throughout her journey with them and we cannot be more pleased with the love and care that she has received. The setting feels like a home away from home for her and the staff genuinely care and love all the children. She has very strong bonds with her room staff and has made plenty of friends. The garden area is so large and wonderful for playing and exploring. The staff are so kind and they cater to each child's individual needs. I would highly recommend this setting to any family.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Daydream since 10 months and we will be very sad to leave this year when he goes to school. The care and support we've received from the whole team has been outstanding. I have never had to worry about leaving him. Food and snacks are prepared on site by an exceptional chef, I have asked for some recipes to make at home! The team work together so well, and we love all the extracurricular activities the staff go above and beyond to achieve. These include Summer, Christmas and Easter parties at the weekend, Mother's Day Breakfast, watching chicks hatch from eggs, plus all the usual World Books Day and charity sponsorship dress-up days. It's a lot of fun and my son loves it at Daydream.

Thank you for your review of Daydream Nursery. We will be sad to see him go too - walking the Early Years journey with each child is such a privilege and we love seeing them develop and thrive. Thank you for trusting us with your child's care and education.

Both our son and daughter attend Daydream nursery and absolutely love it. All the staff are caring and professional. Our son gets sad if I pick him up early as he loves being there! Our daughter had to start at 9 months and settled in really well having previously only been breast fed to sleep. They got her napping, drinking from a bottle and eating from the first day. Our son goes to visit our daughter in the baby room and she gets excited to see him. The have both bonded with the staff really well. I would recommend anyone to send their children to Daydream. It has been a home from home for our children.
