About this day nursery

Dream Catchers Day Nurseries offers a nurturing "home from home" setting across three Rotherham locations: Stag, Parkgate, and Treeton, catering to children from birth to five years old. The nurseries are dedicated to providing high-quality childcare within a family-oriented environment.

Their teams comprise highly skilled and experienced professionals who prioritise creating a secure, warm, and stimulating atmosphere where children can thrive. They emphasise working closely with parents and carers to meet each child's individual needs, offering supportive and helpful services to all families.

The curriculum focuses on developmentally appropriate activities that foster language, communication, social, and emotional skills, building strong relationships. Children enjoy a variety of activities, from messy play and sensory exploration to music, storytelling, and outdoor experiences.

The nursery also incorporates educational outings to local attractions, teaching practical life skills. To track progress, they utilise the Emag system, a Rotherham-based individual tracker and learning journey, facilitating seamless transitions to school.

A holiday club is also available, offering a fun and stimulating environment for older children with a range of activities and outings.

This is an amazing nursery. My son has enjoyed every minute of it and absolutely loves all of the staff. Rachel ,Melissa and the team are a pleasure to deal with, down to earth yet still professional. Very easy to get along with and very accommodating. I can't say a bad word. From the food, to the education, the fun and cuddles. The staff are always so pleased to see us and welcoming. I have always felt my son is safe, secure and have never had any issues leaving him there. They really have got the best out of him and given him a new found confidence ready for reception. 5* all round I would highly recommend this.

I couldn't recommend dream catchers enough. My daughter has been there since she was 9 months old, and has loved it from the get go, and now my son is there too and also loving it. The staff treat the kids like family, I really feel like both my kids (and all the other kids in their care,) are loved and cherished. They learn loads and do lots of fun activities, and any time we've needed additional support the staff have been falling over themselves to provide it.

My little girl has been attending dream catchers day nursery (parkgate) since she was 6 months old, she will be two next month. Her development has come on leaps and bounds since going here and she loves going there too. All the staff here are amazing and have the children's best interest at heart. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone!

A fantastic place! Our son has been looked after by the Dreamcatcher team since he was 9 months, he is now 5 and goes to the holiday club during school holidays. He loves it and we couldn’t be happier as he enjoys his time there so much! The girls are amazing and nothing is too much trouble!

My twins have been going since january and they love it. Everyone is so kind there and always make the effort to let you know what they have been doing through the day and what they have eaten. My little boy was a bit sceptical about going but has loved it ever since. They provide good hearty meals as well which is great. Even got my fussy little girl to try different foods so that's a win for me. Couldnt recommend this nursery enough!
