Bright Horizons Dandelions Nursery and Preschool

The team at Dandelions are well established. They genuinely care for the children. There is always a smile at the start and end of each day from them. Both my children have been at Dandelions and without reservation, I would recommend them to anyone. They set my eldest child up for school really well and the second is being prepared now. Great team and environment, highly recommended.

The team at Dandelions are friendly and great with the children, offering support and encouragement whilst teaching and playing. They hold special events to involve parents with the children’s learning experience and the weekly newsletter ensures parents are kept up to date with activities.
The facilities are fantastic. There is plenty of room inside and out. The meals are made on-site and give the children a nice variety of foods.
I love that my daughter has the opportunity to spend time playing and learning outside in the large garden, playground and covered area. She thoroughly enjoys attending and wishes she could spend more time there!

Our child is flourishing from being at Dandelions. Her interests are encouraged and her learning has been consistently supported and given opportunities to go further. She loves all the different activities and we really like how the learning is guided by the children’s interests. The use of the golden rules has really made an impression on her in a positive way and she often relates things at home/outside to what she has learnt at the nursery.

Bright Horizons Dandelions Nursery and Preschool is a lovely nursery in a fabulous purpose built setting, with lots of green space. Both my children have flourished and the staff have always been really helpful. Currently my youngest attends but my oldest also went until he started school this year.

Couldn’t recommend this nursery enough, the lady’s are lovely and truly amazing at their jobs. My little one absolutely loves going and has come on so much since starting. They go above and beyond to make sure your child is happy and achieving to the best of their ability.

We have been extremely pleased with Bright Horizons Dandelions Nursery and Preschool. The staff are very good at interacting with the children, my son has formed a great bond with his key worker and all of the staff. He has also made some great friends and delights in telling me that the nursery chef is “the best cooker in the whole world”. Staff provide a good handover to parents each day. We’ve used many nurseries over the years for our children and this has been the best by far. My son is four and a half and has learned all his phonics and started to blend simple words such as ‘hat’, purely through the teaching at Bright Horizons Dandelions Nursery and Preschool. His dietary needs are well catered for, with dairy free yogurts available for him so he can be the same as others.

Our daughter has only just starting attending Bright Horizons Dandelions Nursery and Preschool after having a year off from childcare and being at home with us due to Covid-19. She settled in straight away, practically runs in each morning and comes out beaming from ear to ear. The staff are brilliant with her and update me each day with how she has been. She does not stop talking about nursery and all of her friends there. We did get to view Bright Horizons Dandelions Nursery and Preschool in January 2020 and immediately felt that it was where I wanted to send her. The outdoor space is amazing and she loves being outside so that was a huge bonus. So happy with her care there and she looks forward to going every week, she even asks to go at the weekend.

My son started at the nursery in January, 2022. He was able to attend prior to his start date for several settling in sessions with his key person. This really supported him with his transition from home to nursery life. My son has settled in so well at the nursery. He absolutely adores going. He has such a great time, with his key person planning activities for him, following his interests and individual needs. The meals are so nutritious for the children and are prepared to suit his weaning stage. As a parent, I have access to the new parent app, which I love. I get updates throughout the day, of what he has been doing, how he has slept and also photos of him taking part in activities. The management team are so helpful with booking in visits or even extra sessions. Overall, I am so pleased with the nursery and would recommend.

Dandelions is the perfect setting for my toddler. She’s been at the setting for a year now and her development and confidence has grown significantly. The nursery staff are absolutely wonderful, kind, caring and always about putting the children first. The food is high quality, great choice and loved by the children. I’ve already enrolled my babies to be ready for them to start! Keep up the fantastic work!

We have a very good experience with Dandelion Nursery. From the beginning, my child’s specific needs and requirements were taken seriously and he has been very well looked after in an environment where he is kept safe and healthy. The staff are always kind, cheerful and helpful and go above and beyond to cater for us. The activities put on are varied and involve lots of different learning opportunities. Overall, we have been very happy.
