Hopes and Dreams Hatton Nursery has been absolutely incredible for our family, and I truly couldn’t imagine a better environment for my son. He has attended since he was just 6 months old, and from the very beginning I have felt an immense sense of trust and reassurance knowing he is in such capable and caring hands. Leaving your child so young can be daunting, but the team made that transition remarkably smooth. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine affection for the children gave me confidence right from the start, and that confidence has only grown as the months have passed. The staff are kind, attentive, and genuinely feel like a real family. They take the time to get to know each child as an individual, learning their personalities, interests, and the little details that matter. This personal connection has had such a positive impact on my son’s development and happiness. Every morning, he is excited to see the familiar faces of the team, and I know he feels safe, supported, and valued in their care. It’s clear that the staff don’t just supervise the children,they truly nurture them. One of the things I appreciate most is that the children aren’t confined within four walls all day. The nursery regularly takes them on walks around the park and to soft play, which was exactly the kind of environment I wanted for my son. He thrives outdoors, and the freedom to explore nature, move his body, and experience different surroundings has been incredibly beneficial for him. Beyond this, the nursery takes full advantage of all the activities and events at Hatton Country World throughout the year. Whether they are participating in seasonal celebrations, hands‑on learning opportunities, or special themed activities, the children are always engaged in something fun and enriching. My son comes home excited to share stories about what he has seen and done, which is one of my favourite parts of our day. The staff are always willing to answer any questions I have, no matter how small. They never make me feel rushed, and they consistently take the time to explain how my son is doing, what he has enjoyed, and anything else I might want to know. Their communication is thoughtful, reassuring, and reliable, which makes such a difference as a parent. It is clear that they go above and beyond in everything they do, from planning meaningful activities to offering comfort when a child needs it. Their dedication shines through every interaction, and it is obvious how much they care about the children’s wellbeing, happiness, and growth. I couldn’t recommend Hopes and Dreams Hatton Nursery more highly. They have provided my son with a wonderful, supportive, and stimulating start to his early years, and I am incredibly grateful for the kindness and consistency they show every day. Seeing how happy and confident he is there reassures me daily that we made the perfect choice.

My son has been going to this nursery since September and we both love this place. I chose it initially because of the setting and how much space they have/access to outdoors and animals etc. But since he's been there, he has FLOURISHED! He is always laughing his head off when I pick him up, he never cries when I drop him off and is just loving life at nursery. They've also been amazing with a few tweaks I've needed because of work and life in general. I'm so chuffed I chose this nursery!

Amazing nursery, our eldest went here and loved his time with Alison and the team at Hatton and now his younger sister attends and also loves going to nursery. They do great activities with the children every day including taking them down onto the farm and to the soft play at Hatton country world. The staff are brilliant with the children, always super engaged and clearly enjoy spending time with the children. I couldn't reccomend them enough and we have several close friends who have brought their children here based off our glowing endorsements.

My one year old daughter has been attending for a few months now and absolutely loves it. She smiles when we approach the door every morning and settled really quickly. They make sure your child always has a familiar face and she adores her key workers. They have a thorough syllabus of seasonal activities and are always doing great activities; she loves seeing the animals and being taken around the park. She's developed really quickly since being there, bringing home new tricks she's learnt at nursery. When I've seen the older children they've all been very polite and independent.

My daughter has been at Hatton nursery for just under two years. With a broken heart we've made the decision to move her due to a house move and a long commute. She has had the best time at Hatton, the girls know her inside out, every detail and quirk. She is healthy, happy and thriving. Her confidence, speech, learning, toilet habits have all come on leaps and bounds. The staff listen, they take the time to talk to you, a detailed hand over, they answer the phone straight away. And they're human and understanding. It took a lot for me to choose a nursery and have the trust to do it. Everyone at Hatton made it so easy and we'll hold them in our hearts. Thank you for everything, the next nursery have big boots to fill!
