Review from Avril (Mother of Child) published on 30 March 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at the nursery for nearly 4 years, so we know the staff & facility well. We've always been very happy with the great value, care and education at Dandelions. All the staff obviously care about the children & show a sensible approach to comforting children with plenty of hugs & smiles.

Food choices are varied - our daughter seems to enjoy it. Activities seem to be well planned & varied too- giving children the opportunity to try lots of things & get a head start on early years learning: writing, reading, maths, ICT, science, forest school, cooking etc. Learning is supplemented with visits by music for children, ZooLab etc.

Facilities are second to none outdoor space & use made of it is best of all the nurseries we visited.

We would absolutely recommend this nursery and if we had to choose again we would still use Dandelions- it has felt like a very nurturing, safe and fun place for our daughter, and I know she will miss it terribly when she leaves this summer.

Review from Marianne C (Mother of Child) published on 22 March 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Dandelions has been fantastic for both our children who have attended here over the past two years. The staff are fantastic- they truly care for the children and my boys have loved attending and been very happy here. Worthy of particular note are: the time spent outdoors (lots), the menu (varied and healthy) the attention given to each child (lovely) and the continued drive to improve. Highly recommended.
