Dandelion Education Ltd, Aylsham

Having had a difficult journey of a previous setting I was a little nervous but absolutely needn’t have been. The settling in process is absolutely kid-centred and avoids increasing anxieties for kids who are struggling with separation. I have already noticed a marked improvement in my daughter’s use of language. She tells me she is “excited” to go to “Dandelions” and that speaks volumes. I have seen her in the company of all of the Dandelion adults and she is comfortable and confident will them all who are a cheerful, attentive, compassionate, enthusiastic and proactive bunch of early years educators. I cannot speak highly enough of Dandelion Education Ltd Day Childcare centre, the ethos, team and incredibly rich, educational setting.

It’s a fantastic setting in an enclosed wood, a highly secure and secure setting.
The kids are encouraged to be adventurous, inquisitive and to make choices.
One of the best things is the regular updates from the team, enabling us to work together so I’m fully aware of what my son needs are to help his development.
I’m highly cheerful we chose this school, I sense all the team adore working at Dandelion and that truly shows. Since starting at Dandelion Education my son has gained self‑assurance being around other kids and adults.

She often brings up memories of Dandelion days still, and so naturally, we wanted our youngest daughter to have the full Dandelion journey too, and she too loves it. My husband and I both agree the place is actually compassionate of magical! My eldest daughter loved her time at Dandelion.

She’s transformed from a toddler who hid behind me and wouldn’t talk to anyone, into a cheerful, confident 5-year-old who loves making new friends and performing ‘shows’ for anyone who will watch.
They both adore the freedom Dandelion gives them to run, playtime and express themselves, whilst discovering so much. Despite coming home with lots of new skills, both assure me there’s no discovering at Dandelion, just enjoyable and playtime!
The team are so attentive to kids’s needs, supporting them in what they want to do and giving them the self‑assurance to express their feelings, needs and personalities, whilst considering the impact of their words and actions.
We are so pleased we chose to send our kids to Dandelion! Both of my kids have absolutely flourished since starting at Dandelion, and my daughter’s self‑assurance has grown beyond belief.

Dandelion Education Ltd Day Childcare centre is incredible, the team, the setting and the care given is second to none.
My daughter has absolutely thrived in the outdoor setting.
The team have a excellent way of interacting with the kids, getting them to think for themselves and be aware of their space and others.
It truly is a excellent place for kids to explore and learn important life skills that might be missed in a traditional childcare centre.

so much so we have now arranged for him to attend an extra day! ALL of the team are so lovely and engaged with the kids.
In the short time my son has attended, I have seen such a positive change in him; he is clearly thriving in this kid-led setting. At the end of every day, he is full of enthusiasm and stories of the day he has had, with rosy cheeks and sparkly eyes! I 100% suggest this fantastic place! My four year old son started at Dandelions at the beginning of 2019 – he absolutely loves going and is disappointed when I tell him it isn’t a Dandelion day..

It has had a hugely positive impact on our lives and I suggest Dandelion to every friend with little ones. The team are all fantastic and truly live and breathe the Dandelion ethos. Everything is they do is kid-centred and they took a completely personalised approach to help my son settle during his first few weeks.
I adore coming to drop him off and pick him up each day. It is such a magical place for kids to learn, grow and journey the world around them. We are looking forward to many more cheerful Dandelion days. My son started at Dandelion Marsham in January 2019 and I am so glad that we found this place.

The team have outstanding understanding of emotional intelligence and the discussions they have with the kids are nurturing and empowering. I am constantly impressed by how my daughter is discovering and developing through the activities, experiences and relationships provided by this childcare centre. A groundbreaking setting with dedicated, passionate and dynamic team. Dandelion is such a remarkable setting for my daughter to grow in.

He has had the happiest year since then, cared for and nurtured by the lovely team in such a exceptional natural setting. He has consistently loved going and has truly thrived since he started. The activities are stimulating, the kids are given freedom and independence within the setting and the whole Dandelion ethos is remarkable. We sense truly privileged to have found it! Our little boy started at Dandelion in Marsham just after his second birthday.

My daughter has been attending since September 2020 and was exceptionally shy with a speech delay. She has been supported so much in all ways and to help her become a sociable and confident individual. She absolutely loves attending. The team are absolutely remarkable. The setting is fantastic; they change the stuff they have to playtime on all the time, so it’s consistently new and exciting. It is simply the most fantastic journey for a kid to go there; they get so much out of it and learn and develop in a way that your average childcare centre cannot compete with. Dandelion’s is so much more than most nurseries.
