Our toddler loves his days at Ditcham Dragonflies! It's not our closest nursery but we loved it so much we chose to drive further in order to send him there. The staff are all very friendly and he is happy to go to any one of them when we drop him off. They are almost always outdoors (come rain or shine!) which is really great to see. We get regular updates on his development and the skills he's mastering.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear how much your toddler enjoys his time at Ditcham Dragonflies and that you chose us despite the longer journey. It means a great deal to know that he feels happy, secure, and comfortable with all of our team members.
I was reluctant to send my daughter to nursery as she turned 1, I felt she was just too little. I shouldn't have worried, the Dragonflies family are so special and helped to her to settle into a home away from home. The environment helps children to thrive, through educational activities, plenty of outdoor adventures and innovative play. Coming to nursery helps our daughter to grow every day and we are very grateful.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We completely understand how emotional that first step into nursery can feel, and we're so pleased that your daughter has settled so happily with us. It's wonderful to hear that she is thriving and enjoying all the experiences we offer.
A fantastic nursery that our son absolutely loves. The setting and facilities are excellent, providing a rich and engaging environment for learning. The staff create meaningful opportunities for development, and it's clear that children are happy, supported, and thriving.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It's wonderful to know our environment and team are supporting his development and happiness. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Beautiful countryside setting with great staff creating stimulating activities with all the children engaged. Great outdor areas for them to run around and play. My child settled quickly a year ago now, lovely caring nursery teachers. She is happy and excited to tell me about her day. Love the PE and Music lessons at the Ditcham school.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased your child has settled well and is enjoying her time with us. It's wonderful to hear your kind words about our staff, activities, and outdoor spaces, as well as the PE and Music lessons. Your feedback means a great deal to us.

This is our second child to attend Dragonfly's and we have recommended them to friends.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and for continuing to place your trust in us with both of your children. We're delighted to hear how much your son enjoys his time at Dragonflies and that you feel confident in the care we provide.

Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since being here, the care and support that is provided is wonderful, both to Vogue and to us as parents.
The staff are amazing and keep you updated with all information as soon as possible, the food provided is outstanding (a really good variety and you'd never need to worry about them being hungry) and it's a bonus that the facilities are both great outdoors and indoors for our little ones to explore.
Really couldn't ask for more from a nursery.

It's lovely to know you value the care, communication, and environment we provide, as well as the variety of meals on offer.

We are really happy with the nursery and the care they provide.
The nursery has a great range of outdoor educational spaces where the children can explore, learn and play. It's lovely knowing they spend plenty of time outside in such a stimulating environment.
The meals they provide are nutritious and varied, and it has really helped our child become a great eater who is willing to try different foods.
They also offer a fantastic range of activities that the children really get involved in, including music, drama and PE, which our child thoroughly enjoys.
What we appreciate most is how well the staff know and understand our child. They are warm, attentive and clearly care about each child, which makes a huge difference.
