September 29, 2024 at 9:57 amI was so nervous about coming back to work and leaving her in the care of strangers, but they’ve all been so compassionate – taken the time to get to know her and us; what she likes and enjoys and she’s settled very well. They communicated with us beautifully during her settles, and I adore the little reports at the end of each day, and the fact I know I can call whenever I like to see how she’s doing.
The team guided me with the info I need, understood my anxieties and concerns – and even gave me a couple of hugs when I was in tears at the emotion of it all. We’ve now settled into a new rhythm, and I’m so glad we’re at this childcare centre. This childcare centre has been so gentle and compassionate with both my daughter and me (!) since she started there a month or so ago.

October 17, 2024 at 2:43 amThe team have a excellent relationship with the kids and I’ve watched our boys develop with the encouragement and assistance that they receive at Dryden Street. We adore that they are outside every day at least twice a day, it’s where kids should be! We moved our eldest to this childcare centre because of the lack of outdoors-time at his former childcare centre. We were very pleased that Dryden Street received an ‘Outstanding’ at Ofsted as we believe the team truly deserve that result for the work they put in. Both our boys are in this lovely childcare centre.

October 25, 2024 at 4:01 amWe are perfectly well informed of his days and his general development. We adore the inviting and welcoming atmosphere the childcare centre has created. We are extremely cheerful with the childcare centre, all team are extremely welcoming and expert, and our kid is very cheerful.

October 31, 2024 at 10:35 amOur daughter comes home very cheerful and sometimes does not want to leave! The team are generally attentive and the standard of care ranges from (minimum) great to outstanding. We are extremely cheerful with our key carer as she has the emotional intelligence to understand parents’ and kids’s needs and provide us with the extra reassurance a parent needs; we get daily reports on how our daughter’s day has been but also they would bring to our attention any other developments or issues to deal with. Any minor issues raised to team have been dealt with effectively. It is a secure setting and we have generally been very pleased with the whole process since the start (July 2018) to present day (April 2019). We would not hesitate to suggest Dryden Street Childcare centre. A very great/outstanding standard childcare centre, encouraging playtime, discovering and multiple activities.

November 7, 2024 at 2:11 pmI couldn’t be happier with his childcare centre. The settling in process was outstanding and my son was immediately made to sense comfortable and part of the childcare centre. Team are all welcoming and calm and consistently remember to tell me funny little things he has done during the day which means a lot. There is plenty of outside space and time to playtime which was important to us and food provided is nutritious and filling. I’m so pleased with it and it made returning to work that little bit easier knowing he was so well cared for. My son started at Dryden St in September 2018 when he was around ten months old and attends two full days a week.

November 14, 2024 at 10:08 pmThe team are super welcoming, calm, patient and well‑informed and have made sure our daughter is well cared for and educated. The facilities are outstanding and the activities are creative and varied. Dryden Street is a fantastic childcare centre, our daughter has been attending full-time for over 1 year and she loves it.

November 20, 2024 at 5:05 amThe kids well organised in the rooms by their ages. The team so compassionate and supportive with kids. The most thing I like is the report given to the parents everyday which summarise the activity, sleep times and males given to the kids. My kid is so cheerful and comfortable and he learn many thing e.g. numbers, colours and animals. Overall, I think the childcare centre is great place for kids. I think, I am cheerful with childcare centre’ Service.

November 28, 2024 at 2:44 pmMy daughter has been attending since she was nine months old and she is over three years already. She has been in all rooms (baby, toddler, early years two and three years) and is been cheerful in all of them. The activities and education are fabulous. All team is outstanding. Remarkable setting for the kids.

January 19, 2025 at 2:16 pmAll of the team consistently go above and beyond and ensure that all of the kids are cheerful and well-supported. They are committed to supporting your kid as an individual and will work closely with you to make sure that they sense accepted and thrive in the childcare centre setting. Dryden Street is an absolutely exceptional childcare centre.

January 30, 2025 at 3:28 pmThe manager and the team have provided remarkable care over the years and I would wholeheartedly suggest them to anyone looking for a childcare centre. It may not have all the bells and whistles of some others, but the team are incredibly attentive and nurturing, the facilities provide everything the kids need. The team are welcoming, obviously all adore kids and share and take on board feedback from parents and the kids themselves. Dryden Street Day Childcare centre have cared for both of my kids (one who still attends, one has since graduated to school).

February 13, 2025 at 9:57 amTeam are consistently supportive and special requests consistently accommodated. It’s quite small so has a nice family sense to it as you get to know everybody that works here over time. Would definitely suggest. My daughter has been in this childcare centre for almost a year and she is very cheerful and content here.
Dakota Sharpe
April 6, 2025 at 5:21 amThe fact that the managers were so patient with her they managed to find a solution to make the process smooth for her. What I am trying to say is that they care and make sure your kid is cheerful. Apart from that just looking at my little gal it is a enjoyable place to be. So my little gal moved EY2 to EY3.

April 13, 2025 at 7:21 pmTeam at the childcare centre have been very supportive throughout every stage of her development to this point, and are consistently cheerful to offer advice relating to any issues we have faced outside childcare centre. They were particularly supportive when she was reluctant to eat and have handled her milk allergy very well – her food is prepared separately when necessary, and she is consistently offered an alternative rather than missing out. My daughter is very fond of the team and still likes to speak to those who cared for her in the baby and toddler rooms whenever she sees them. I have consistently felt that she was secure in their care, and I believe they have prepared her very well for her upcoming move into school. My daughter has been attending Dryden Street since she was 8 months old and will continue to attend until she starts school later this year.

April 18, 2025 at 4:23 pmHis face lights up every day when we get to the gates. We sense very confident about dropping him off here each day, and couldn’t be more pleased with the rapport the educators have with the kids, the thought that goes into the types of activities provided, and the degree to which the management is attentive to any questions or concerns that arise (something I especially appreciate as a new mum). Dryden is an outstanding childcare centre. My toddler has been very cheerful at Dryden: he enjoys the varied indoor & outdoor activities, the delicious daily lunch and tea prepared on-site and is very attached to his educators.

June 3, 2025 at 10:14 amHer key workers in each of her rooms have been outstanding and she has still continued to have had a excellent relationship with each of them, even when she has moved into a new room. It’s pretty remarkable to see how much they pack into every day and she has been so well prepared for school during her time in EY3. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Dryden Street childcare centre. My daughter has been at Dryden Street since she was nine months and we have had such a fantastic journey.
Quinn Sawyer
June 21, 2025 at 4:46 pmThe team are remarkable, they make a fantastic setting and I can see he learns so much when he is there. He really does adore this place. The setting is secure, spotless and engaging. The food is excellent and the childcare centre was very accommodating if I wanted to change or alter anything. As a very nervous new mum leaving my kid when returning to work they also made me sense much more relaxed and cheerful about the whole thing. Really can’t suggest enough. My son has been so cheerful at Dryden Childcare centre since he started at the age of 9 months.
