Dandelion Education Ltd, Aylsham

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.. so much so we have now arranged for him to attend an extra day! ALL of the staff are so lovely and engaged with the children.
In the short time my son has attended, I have seen such a positive change in him; he is clearly thriving in this child-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% recommend this wonderful place!

Dandelions is by far the best thing you could do for your children. From the moment I learned of their existence, I just had to send my son there and it’s been the best experience for us both for over two years. It’s magical, adventurous, confidence building, friendly, imaginative. You’ll be shocked with what your child learns while experiencing sheer joy in the outdoors environment. My son comes home every week knowing more sign language, more phonics, numbers, he always has an amazing adventure to share with me too. He runs in super excited to see all the staff and the children are perfectly polite, smart, kind children. Thank you Dandelions, for nourishing my boy – mentally, physically and emotionally.

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

Dandelion is such a fantastic environment for my daughter to grow in. The staff have excellent understanding of emotional intelligence and the discussions they have with the children are nurturing and empowering. I am constantly impressed by how my daughter is learning and developing through the activities, experiences and relationships provided by this nursery. A groundbreaking setting with dedicated, passionate and dynamic staff.

We love the Dandelions way of life from finding name cookies in the morning to cooking brunch on the fire and yoga sessions in the mud. The tool table is a firm favourite, and our little one loved making a car transporter out of conkers and nails! As a mum, I love seeing him run out of the gate to show me his creations, which are often spectacular. The staff have been fantastic in helping him learn new skills and how to risk assess so he can take responsibility for his own learning.

Both of my children have absolutely flourished since starting at Dandelion, and my daughter’s confidence has grown beyond belief. She’s transformed from a toddler who hid behind me and wouldn’t talk to anyone, into a happy, confident 5-year-old who loves making new friends and performing ‘shows’ for anyone who will watch.
They both love the freedom Dandelion gives them to run, play and express themselves, whilst learning so much. Despite coming home with lots of new skills, both assure me there’s no learning at Dandelion, just fun and play!
The staff are so attentive to children’s needs, supporting them in what they want to do and giving them the confidence 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 children to Dandelion!

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

My 3-year-old son has been going to Dandelion Education Ltd Day Nursery in Aylsham since September and he absolutely loves it. He runs into the school every time we drop him. It’s helped his confidence in mixing with other children and adults. It’s a beautiful, safe setting in the woods with so much to explore with well thought out themes for each term. The teachers are all so helpful and positive and without doubt love working with the children here. I really like the teaching philosophy here, with the belief that even at 3-years-old children are capable of so much and they really encourage independence, encourage the children to question and reflect and of course just as importantly they have fun together.

Dandelion Education Ltd Day Nursery is amazing, the staff, the setting and the care given is second to none.
My daughter has absolutely thrived in the outdoor environment.
The staff have a great way of interacting with the kids, getting them to think for themselves and be aware of their space and others.
It really is a great place for children to explore and learn important life skills that might be missed in a traditional nursery.

Since starting at Dandelion Education my son has gained confidence being around other children and adults.
It’s a wonderful setting in an enclosed wood, a very safe and secure environment.
The children are encouraged to be adventurous, inquisitive and to make choices.
One of the best things is the regular communication from the staff, enabling us to work together so I’m fully aware of what my son needs are to help his development.
I’m very happy we chose this school, I feel all the staff love working at Dandelion and that really shows.
