We are absolutely delighted with Big Dreams Nursey! My little boy is very happy there, we get updates throughout the day and get to talk to the teachers on pick-up at length which I really appreciate. They are all very kind and the nursery is so beautiful, high ceilings, new toys and a great outdoor
area!

Our daughter started at Big Dreams Nursery when they first opened and has absolutely loved it there ever since. We saw a few nurseries but weren't sold on any until we walked in and saw all the activities and rooms they have here and instantly knew this is the one we wanted. All the staff are very friendly
and keep us up to date each day on the app. Our daughter can't wait to get there each morning.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We visited so many nurseries before choosing Big Dreams Nursery and we are so glad to have made that choice.
There were two things that particularly stood out to us.
1. The incredible facility. The team that has designed this place really took their time and creative ability to build something so
perfect and have thought of every possible scenario. We loved the sensory room which, no doubt, was used plenty of times during the settling in period. Everything was so clean, organised and spacious. Kudos to the team for this.
2. The staff. We were met with some incredibly friendly, happy and confident people who knew what they were doing but most importantly, were so patient with us as first time parents, really understanding our anxieties and helping us transition into this new chapter of our lives. They cared and seemed like they really enjoyed their job but most importantly, understood the importance of their role in our child's development. Thank you team.

I am so happy and pleased I found this nursery for my 3-year-old daughter, the staff are absolutely incredible, the care and love given to the children is heartwarming. My child went to another nursery and it doesn't even touch this one, she has learnt so much, she's happy, she's excited to go to there...
waves me goodbye!
As for the nursery itself, it is breathtaking, clean, organised and creative!
I can't thank the staff there enough. You're all amazing!

Review from Anna M (Mother of Child) published on 2 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We enrolled our daughter at Big Dreams Nursery in June 2024 and we are very happy with it. The staff are incredibly attentive, caring, friendly and knowledgeable. They create a warm and nurturing environment that our daughter absolutely loves.
The nursery uses an app to keep us well-informed about
our child's progress and daily activities and makes staying connected with the nursery effortless.
The facilities are amazing. The area designated for the kids is impeccably clean and equipped with new toys and learning materials. They also have a nice, big outdoor area where the children can play and explore safely.
We're very pleased with the nutritious food provided. The menu is well-balanced and varied.
The opening hours are very convenient for working parents.
Overall, the nursery has exceeded our expectations in every way. Our daughter is happy and thriving and we highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, engaging and caring environment for their child.

Amazing nursery, amazing staff, everything is brand new, great outdoor space for the kids, they get to go on trips out, food seems to have a great variety. I moved my children to be with the manager, deputy manager and the girls as they are so amazing, I wouldn't have anyone else look after them.

So far, so good. Staff are friendly and helpful. The nursery is amazing. My son has only been going since July but I feel it's a safe environment to leave him. The key workers and staff are very good with him and I have recommended this place to other mothers.

My little boy started back in May and since he started, Big Dreams Nursery has been so accommodating and very welcoming upon every arrival. All the staff are friendly and approachable if you ever have any queries. He now is settling in well and has good bonds with both the staff and his friends.

Review from Kida F (Mother of Child) published on 9 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Big Dreams Nursery since it opened its doors and I couldn't be happier with him there. He settled well, although English was a foreign language to him. It's lovely to see how friendly the girls are and they seem to work together well as a team. The culture from the top seems
to be setting the right tone which is obvious as the owner genuinely seems lovely and caring.
They already have done a few outings which have been amazing and I get updated about his day and progress daily.
The nursery is also brand new with some of the best toys I have seen (I have two other kids, so used to nurseries) so there is always something to keep the children busy.
Would highly recommend to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Big Dreams Nursery has been very welcoming of our 2.5-year-old son. He was previously at another nursery and they made sure that they had a meeting to discuss my son's needs and that handover was smooth sailing for our son and for us, as parents. My son has sensory issues around food and they are adapting
the menu to make sure he is able to have something even if he doesn't like the food on the normal menu. The app is fantastic as you're able to have direct contact with staff and follow your child's learning journey. The nursery is super inclusive and the nursery owner is a qualified speech and language therapist, with our son having SEN siblings, we felt he was going to be best supported here on his journey. They have a sensory room and outdoor learning space which is accessible to all children as most nurseries only have in the baby room. We have friends/neighbours with children at Big Dreams Nursery who are also very happy. We would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son started Big Dreams Nursery at the start of May and we couldn't be happier with our decision. From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew we had picked the right nursery for him.
The team have been fantastic in their communication, from our first enquiry right up to keeping us informed
about our son's daily activities and overall development.
The facilities are fantastic, the garden space being the highlight; it's a vibrant, well-maintained area where the kids can explore and play. The sensory room deserves a special mention, our son has benefited greatly from the variety of sensory experiences offered and we've seen improvements in his curiosity and engagement levels.
Overall, Big Dreams has exceeded our expectations. The professional staff, the excellent facilities and the thoughtful communication all contribute to a wonderful environment. We highly recommend Big Dreams Nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child.

Big Dreams Nursery has been a wonderful place for our 17-month-old boy to stay, play and explore. We have had the pleasure of meeting most of the delightful practitioners that have proactively helped him enjoy his time at the nursery; with developmental support and imaginary play, using active and mindful
methods.
A high level of care, updates, and a happy smiley welcome as well as a big goodbye at the end of each day.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Big Dreams Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 54 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 54 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.951 for Big Dreams Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (619 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 647 Ratings = 4.951
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Big Dreams Nursery is based on 54 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 54 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
