Review from Daria A (Mother of Child) published on 9 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending this nursery since she was just 19 months old, and as she gets ready to leave for school this August, we couldn't be more grateful for everything the team has done for her. From our very first visit, I was impressed by how clean, welcoming, and well-organised the nursery was. But what truly makes this place special is the incredible staff. Every member of the team is caring, professional, and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development. The nursery offers a wonderful balance of learning and play. The educational activities are engaging and age-appropriate, without ever feeling forced. I believe this gentle approach has been especially valuable in preparing our daughter for school while allowing her to enjoy being a child. The individual approach to every child is something we have appreciated throughout the years. Our daughter has become much more confident, social, and open. she has always been excited to go to nursery every morning.

Overall Experience
Forever beyond grateful to Hopes & Dreams - Worship street team for everything! You are my heroes!

This nursery is a true gem in the heart of the city and was absolutely the best choice for my little one. Three incredible years passed by so quickly, and it was wonderful to see my daughter thrive in this nurturing, warm environment filled with love and kindness. Hopes & Dreams became our family. Truly impressive set of teaching staff and management team, immaculate attention to detail and care. We are so lucky to have found you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Reply from Sarah Phillips, Principal at Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Worship Street
What wonderful words, we miss you both!
It's so important to us that the children thrive, grow and develop into exceptional beings and they continue to amaze us daily. We are always incredibly grateful that you allow us to walk with you through early childhood. It's such fun!

Overall Experience

Amazing school. The teachers are truly fantastic. They genuinely care about our children and always made time to answer our questions. The teachers also went out of their way to ensure our children received materials that were suited for their current level, so that we could also see clear progress being made.

Review from Elena S (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Staff reassurance and care are real strengths. Drop-off can be a challenge for some children, but the team are quick to send a message or picture shortly after to let you know your child has settled and is happily reading or playing. That small gesture makes a big difference to a parent's day. Plenty of cuddles are given when needed, and my child eats well and sleeps well at nursery - clearly very comfortable in the environment.
It's been wonderful to watch the children grow in confidence and language skills. The nursery also nurtures values alongside learning - friendship, kindness, and caring for younger children are actively encouraged, and those values carry over at home too.

Dedicated music and sports sessions from external specialist teachers add great variety, and regular library visits nurture a love of books. It's this combination of emotional care, strong values, and rich experiences that makes Hopes and Dreams stand out.

Reply from Sarah Phillips, Principal at Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery - Worship Street
This review has made my heart sing! Nurturing the whole child is such an important aim for us all at Hopes and Dreams and to see this review shows the impact of this.
We are delighted that this approach doesn't go unnoticed.
Thank you so much,

Sarah

Overall Experience

Hopes and Dreams Nursery at Worship Street offers a warm and welcoming environment for all children. We have been part of this lovely nursery for a couple of years, and our little one always looked forward to going there each day, feeling happy and confident. Magda, Zsuzsanna, and their amazing team are truly exceptional. The connections they foster with both children and parents are special, making us feel genuinely supported in our journey.

Overall Experience
Our little one has just left Hopes & Dreams, ready to go to big school after 3 wonderful years. She has grown so much with the help of the staff who were always there to encourage, comfort, teach and listen to her. The staff were always accommodating, knowledgeable, kind and ready to help.

Our little one has gained immeasurable confidence and skills to take her through to her next stage at big school. We are very grateful.

Overall Experience

Our daughter joined the nursery when she was 18 months old. We are very pleased with the care and support she receives. She enjoys going to nursery, has made friends, and gets along well with carers. Her communication skills (fluent bilingual), curiosity, and physical abilities have developed superbly over the 2 years she has attended nursery.

Review from Daniel C (Father of Child) published on 15 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been at Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery School for about 9 months now.
She is extremely happy and is very excited going to play and learn with her friends, every single day.
The staff are both very professional and also care a lot about the children. They are the key outstanding strength of the nursery.
They have gone out of their way to make sure our daughter is happy on a daily basis and support her in her growth and development.

The children are engaged in many different activities, have the chance to taste many different types of food and are extremely well taken care of.

Review from Thomas G (Father of Child) published on 21 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Hopes and Dreams is an excellent nursery, which I feel confident saying, having had children attend several.
Our son is extremely happy at the nursery, and the staff and especially his key worker, are hugely kind and clearly care for him. He likes the other children at the nursery and often talks about his friends and the staff.
The Montessori elements seem to engage him and are evidently extensive. In addition, the “core” play equipment is impressive - including his favourite climbing frame and kitchen area.

Whilst the nursery does not have any outdoor space, per se, the nursery does an extraordinarily good job both of using the spaces it has available, including the downstairs sports area, and most importantly the parks and library. The additional staff who come in for sport and music clearly add to the fun.

Review from N B (Mother of Child) published on 10 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We had a very positive experience for the 8 or so months my 4-year-old attended on an ad hoc basis using the drop-in service. We didn’t need fixed sessions or as much as the minimum requirement for a place so although significantly more expensive per hour, this gave me flexibility with days and timings. I found the management and the team always accommodating and efficient in arranging sessions but also great with the kids. Things always felt organised and the nursery is a nice, bright, modern space. The kids seem to be exposed to a range of activities that are led by caring and engaging staff who seemed to know my daughter well despite our irregular attendance. My daughter also found separation very difficult and the team were excellent in helping to settle her. I would definitely recommend Hopes and Dreams.

Overall Experience
I am extremely pleased with Hopes and Dreams Montessori Nursery School for my son. The teachers have been incredibly helpful and supportive in his progress and development. They show genuine care and kindness towards him, making us feel confident and happy with our choice.
The nurturing environment at Hopes and Dreams has played a significant role in my son's growth. The teachers go above and beyond to provide a positive and engaging experience for the children. They understand each child's unique needs and tailor their approach accordingly.
I highly recommend Hopes and Dreams to other families seeking a nurturing and enriching nursery experience for their children. The dedication and professionalism of the teachers, along with the overall welcoming atmosphere, make it a wonderful place for kids to learn and grow.

Thank you, Hopes and Dreams, for providing such a positive experience for my son and our family. We couldn't be happier.

Review from Samantha W (Mother of Child) published on 8 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Hopes and Dreams is an outstanding nursery, and I would recommend it without hesitation in the strongest possible way to everyone! Our daughter has attended in a 'drop-in' capacity, which has always been ideal for us as my husband and I run our own company, so our working lives are never the same from one week to the next! This service has been gold dust, and the flexibility has been remarkable, thanks to the fantastic staff at the nursery. Our daughter's teachers and key people have been warm, patient and kind with her, and our little one is quite shy, so I was worried when we first started as to how she might get on without me. She has loved every minute of it, asking to go every morning and if it's not a nursery day, asking when the next one will be! The education, the activities, the staff, the food, the resources, the communication with parents and generally everything they do are second-to-none, and we are so happy we joined Hopes and Dreams - it is the best place!
