DayDream, Woking, a GrandirUK Day Nursery

My son has been attending Daydream for the last six months and absolutely loves it! The staff are brilliant and always have exciting activities lined up for the children. I'm always kept up to date with notifications and photos on the parents app. They have a huge garden for the children to play and explore. I would highly recommend the nursery!

Our daughter (8mo) has been at daydreams for two months and the transition from home to nursery has been so well managed. The team have made sure our daughter feels secure from the first day with lots of different ideas (settling in sessions, toys from home, smells from home, etc.). She has settled in well despite being a little poorly and the team were really honest about how well or tricky she had found the day. One staff member in particular has been so transparent about our daughter’s emotional state and how best we can help navigate the transition. The team prepare a huge amount of sensory activities with a clear plan and each of these are linked to developmental milestones. The communication is also seamless either in person or on the app. Messages are answered rapidly and updates are thorough. I cannot recommend them enough.

So happy we have our little one at Daydream. Starting there at 11 months (she’s now 14 months), she has settled so well and now gets impatient to go in the mornings. When she started she was super attached to her key person, but that was never seen as a problem - her key person just kept giving her the extra cuddles when she needed them, and she soon became happy and comfortable with all the staff, and then was ready to explore and play a bit more independently and/or with the other children. The activities they do at the nursery are always varied, very sensory, and I love how much they get outside in the garden to play. They’re great at keeping parents updated as well - lots of photos and details about what they’ve done, what they’ve learned, how they’ve slept, what they’ve eaten etc.

My child is very happy at this nursery. The set-up and organisation of the day is great. There are lots of activities to encourage curiosity and exploration. The adults show great care for the children and know the children well. Whilst there have been some staff changes, it’s been fortunate that the key room leaders have remained so that there’s some continuity for the children and parents. It’s lovely to receive learning updates to see what the children have been up to.

A lovely nursery where they really care about the children. My daughter really enjoys her time at Daydream. Lots of different activities and a great outdoor space for the children to enjoy. Would definitely recommend.

Daydream provides a fun, happy, stimulating environment with friendly and professional staff. They are also very flexible when it comes to educative approaches and support. We receive regular updates throughout the day on activities and menus which allow parents to adjust accordingly.
