We're so happy with this nursery! My toddler absolutely loves it here and runs in with a big smile every morning. The staff are so kind, caring, and genuinely wonderful with the children. The space itself is bright, welcoming, and feels really safe and fun.
Since starting, we've seen such a boost in our little one's confidence and happiness-it's clear how much they enjoy their time here. As parents, it's such a comfort knowing they're in such a lovely environment. Couldn't recommend it enough!
Dragonflies is a lovely nursery, the staff look after the children with upmost care and bring the fun! My daughter is happy and confident after only a few weeks there, she is loving particular songs they obviously sing at nursery and has done loads of new things like fingerprinting, seeing hens and she's come on loads with feeding herself. Management are very flexible and helped me change the days for my daughter when I needed for work very easily and quickly. My daughters key worker is absolutely lovely, provides good updates and my daughter clearly loves being there with everyone. The outside space is a bit limited but they have made the best of what they have and still spend lots of time out there which is the important thing.
Both of our children, a boy age 3 and a girl age 1 started at Dragonflies in September.
When we looked around the nursery we were immediately sure it was the right place for our daughter. At the time our son was at an older children's nursery (for children 2+) and we were keen to keep him there after an extremely difficult time getting him settled there. After seeing the nursery, and meeting the lovely staff though, we decided to take the big decision to move him so they could be together.
We were so nervous with them starting at the nursery, but it's turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made for them both. The love and care they show to our little girl is matched by the incredible adventures they take our son on daily! Each day they attend I see them grow in confidence and I feel so happy returning to work knowing how well they are both cared for.
We couldn't be happier with our son's experience at this nursery. From the start, the staff have been so caring, supportive, and attentive, which has made the whole process of settling him in so much easier for us as parents. The environment is always clean and the space feels very inviting.
It was his first time being away from us so it took a while to get him used to going to nursery but now he's excited to go in the mornings, and it's clear to see how much he's learning and growing in confidence every day. His social skills, independence, and communication have all developed so much since starting, and we can see the positive impact nursery is having on him.
It hasn't been easy leaving him at nursery at first, but knowing he is so well looked after and genuinely happy there gives us real peace of mind. We're so grateful to the whole team for the love and dedication they show and how down to earth they are.
Reusable nappies, expressed milk,naps etc. the team create an extension of home and are always in communication through teething and colds.
Highly recommend this nursery because when you get there for pick up you find a bunch of singing, reading, playing kids (and educators)!
My Son was previously at a different nursery and just could not settle. Coming to Dragonflies's he is so happy I am always getting updates on the family APP. I get given detailed handovers from the staff. The staff go above and beyond for my child and it goes to show at drop off, during the day within updates and at pick up. My son runs into the nursery.
An amazing all inclusive (truly) setting where our autistic daughter was so warmly welcomed. Everyone at Dragonflies Sutton made sure that her needs are met and accommodations are made. We especially loved that staff are following her lead with gentle encouragement for a structured day. We definitely have seen a positive difference in how she settled in at Dragonflies compared to other settings.
Our LO mentions their key person's name at home, and sometimes it only takes mentioning your name(s) to get them to head for the door.
All the staff is caring, warm and enthusiastic. We really appreciate your understanding and how you accommodate to our family's needs, like the use of cloth nappies. We're particularly impressed by your attitude towards our LO's multilingual chatter: from the beginning you have been curious about and proactive in learning what some of the non-English words mean.
It's great to know that our LO is getting a solid foundation with you all. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!
The environment is warm, safe, and nurturing, with a perfect balance of structured activities and free play. It's clear that the team genuinely cares about each child's development and happiness.
We're so grateful to have found such a special place. Thank you to everyone at Dragonflies for creating such a positive and loving space for our little one to grow. Highly recommend!
Our son loves the food there too. He's normally a picky eater, but loves the food at Dragonflies.
The selection of toys is incredible and everything is clean and new. Mainly wooden toys which I love and a great outdoor play area.
We are very happy with our experience at Dragonflies. The staff are kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the children's wellbeing and development.
Our daughter has been attending for a short time, but we already see how much she's growing in confidence and learning new things every day. Although settling in was emotional at first (as it is for many toddlers), the team supported her gently and patiently, helping her feel safe and welcomed.
The environment is warm, clean, and full of fun and educational activities. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed and involved.
We truly appreciate the care and effort the team puts into every day. Thank you for making our daughter's early learning journey so special
Cannot recommend this nursery enough, as soon as we went to visit we knew it was the right place for our daughter. We originally had her name down for another nursery but immediately changed our minds when we saw Dragonflies and met everyone there. The staff go above and beyond to make sure parents feel reassured and happy, particularly with settling in, it made a daunting time of putting her into nursery feel so much easier. The facilities are amazing, I was genuinely excited for my little one to start here as knew she would have the best time and be cared for so well.
Our son is 2 years old and is thoroughly enjoying every single day at nursery. Even asking us to go back to nursery at night when we're getting him ready for bed haha! We've experienced nothing but kindness, care, and loads of communication with the team, so we always feel like we know what our child is up to, and what he's doing on a weekly basis. The observations, attention to detail, and all the fun our son has really takes the edge off the mum-guilt I feel when I have to drop him off before work. It's exactly what you want for your child. A nurturing environment which is calm, clean and full of beautiful new toys (and clean kids toilets - a first for me. Other nurseries I've been to made me want to throw up from the smell!)
The staff have been amazing with my Son. He has settled in so well I always get lots of uploads through out his day. Lovely to see him so happy at drop off and when I pick him up at the end of the day.
Our little girl has been with dragonflies - Oru for just over a month and we are so happy with how she is getting on. The staff are extremely warm, friendly and attentive. As first time parents who were obviously nervous about seeing our little girl go into nursery, the staff at dragonflies really helped put our anxieties at and worries at ease. Couldn't be happier with our choice.
My little boy is in the baby room, the whole team have been great and he is loving his time there. I was so nervous with him being our first, but they have kept us updated on how he is doing, including lots of pictures. They are great at adapting the activities to the needs of the child, and the place is lovely with a great atmosphere.
