Children at Daydream Nursery develop strong relationships with staff, who are noted for being caring and quickly getting to know new children. The day nursery places a strong focus on igniting children's natural curiosity and imagination, encouraging open-ended play with everyday objects. Staff provide interesting and exciting activities based on children's learning needs, adeptly promoting communication and language development.

Mealtimes are sociable, where children and staff enjoy freshly cooked, nutritious food and learn about hygiene.

The staff couldn’t be more kind, supportive and nurturing if they tried. I feel that they genuinely care about, and become invested in, the children. The nursery itself is a lovely, homely building with lots of toys and activities to stimulate the children as they grow and learn and it has a fantastic huge garden space for them to play in outside. Overall, I’ve been extremely happy with the nursery and feel very fortunate to have it on my doorstep. I would definitely recommend it to others looking for a ‘home from home’ environment.

All the staff are caring & professional. Our son gets sad if i pick him up early as he loves being there! Our daughter had to start at 9 months & settled in really well having previously only been breast fed to sleep. They got her napping, drinking from a bottle & eating from the first day. Our son goes to visit our daughter in the baby room & she gets excited to see him. The have both bonded with the staff really well. I would recommend anyone to send their children to Daydream.
