SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive highly knowledgeable support. Staff attend regular specialist training and work closely with external professionals like social workers and speech and language therapists to ensure children access necessary specialist support. Additional funding is effectively used to support children's emotional wellbeing, such as providing staff with lanyards with images to aid understanding of emotions.

An outstanding nursery that truly focuses on the individual child's growth. Our daughter has made incredible progress in her social skills and early learning since joining. The activities are creative, engaging, and always seem to spark her curiosity. The staff provide regular, detailed updates which we love. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a stimulating and supportive start for their child

Starting my daughter at this nursery was the best decision I made for her and her development. They are so accommodating and it truly is a home away from home for my daughter who loves every minute of going here. Transitioning into different rooms was effortless and the staff made sure both me and my daughter were happy. She has come on immensely since starting at dreamcatchers. All the staff take the time to know all the children in the setting and always greet them and take time building relationships. Can't thank them all enough

We moved our little one to Dream Catchers after realising his previous setting just wasn’t right for him, and the difference has been amazing. He is so happy, safe, and settled in his new nursery and he genuinely can’t wait to go in the mornings. He always has the biggest smile on his face and is greeted with welcoming arms. The staff are absolutely fantastic and really make both children and parents feel welcome. Our little boy has made so much progress since being here, thanks to the lovely learning opportunities that are built into fun, toddler-friendly activities. We also really appreciate the regular updates on what the children have been up to during the day. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and would highly recommend Dream Catchers to any parent looking for a caring, nurturing environment for their child.

The BEST nursery! My little one loves it so much, she’s genuinely so excited to go every morning and sometimes doesn’t even want to come home. Wonderful environment with extraordinarily caring staff members. My baby, even though under 1, does a range of activities daily which are developmentally pushing her and helping her to thrive. Varied meals are provided daily and they ask for recommendations if there’s ever anything you want your little one to try. Cannot recommend more highly!

We absolutely love this nursery. The staff are so caring and welcoming, and it’s clear how much they genuinely enjoy what they do. Our child loves going in each day and is always excited to come back the next day, especially baking activities and the fun, hands-on learning. We really appreciate the wide range of menu ideas and how the nursery regularly posts updates and photos so parents can see what the children are enjoying. Even outdoor activities are thoughtfully brought indoors when needed, which is brilliant. The extra experiences like football classes and animals coming to visit make it even more special. Such a positive, nurturing environment — we couldn’t be happier
