We had a wonderful experience at Dreamcatchers. Jack absolutely loved his time there from 2 yrs old. Sarah, Emily, Julie, Chelsea and Helena treated him with such love and care from carrying over the gate each day because that’s how he liked to go in (!) to having ‘cuddly days’ when he wasn’t feeling 100%. I can’t sing their praises highly enough. Every drop off and pick up was enthusiastic and made him feel special. They do a fantastic range of activities each day and are always outside. I’m so pleased we’ve got a place for his sister although the waiting list is long so get your name down as early as possible!

I initially chose Dreamcatcher Childcare based their consistent Ofsted reports, but I have only the highest praise for this nursery based on my personal experience of their incredible care and support over the last 4years. I am sure it is a huge adjustment for any first time parent to leave their child in nursery, it certainly was for us and it was made so much easier by the communication and kindness from the staff. I have also experienced a breadth of knowledge across this team from needing to lean on them for sleep advice, eating support, my son’s verbal communication and ultimately SEN support when we realised he had additional needs, not to mention the cup of tea and a chat if I also needed a shoulder to cry on. From the point of view of a parent, and for my son, we were treated like family within an environment that was professional, understanding and problem solving. Forever grateful for this positive experience, thank you Dreamcatchers!

What an amazing experience I had when my daughter started Dreamcatchers.
She started at 9 months old until she was 4 .
The support we had has given her the best start in early school education .
My sincere thanks to the Dreamcatchers family.

We had been searching for a nursery for our daughter when we moved to the local area. After visiting a handful of options we were thrilled to find Dreamcatchers. It immediately stood out compared to the others - the owner is hands on and has a real passion for early years childcare. We have been delighted by the fantastic staff from the baby room right through to the preschool. They have built the most caring and supportive environment for those crucial early years. The culture within this nursery shines. We have had two children at Dreamcatchers and they have both thoroughly enjoyed their time at this nursery. We are extremely grateful to the Dreamcatchers family and highly recommend them as a nursery.

Such a special nursery for our little ones. Lovely environment with highly trained and supportive staff. The best nursery for our two boys across 4 years and feel very fortunate that they had space for them! Highly recommended.

Such an amazing nursery, my twins joined when they were 1 years old until they started reception. Everyone at Dreamcatcher Childcare is kind and caring. My children loved their time at Dreamcatcher and made the most amazing memories, I truly believe my children settled so well into reception due to the amazing preparation that Dreamcatcher Childcare facilitated for them. I could not recommend them enough, thank you xx

This nursery is not for every child. I had one child go through every room with minimal issue, although their approach to potty training is very old fashioned. However, my second child was asked to leave after 6 weeks as they said he was not settling in. They said he could come back when he was older, but he went in a happy baby and was a shell of himself after this ordeal so I was not going to send him back there. I will never know what happened to him in their care and that haunts me. They refuse to allow babies to anchor to one person during the settling in period which seems very counter intuitive compared to any other childcare professionals opinions I have spoken to since. I was left in a very awkward position with work and no options for childcare other than a nanny, it took me 10 months to find another nursery with a space, but he has settled in with very little issue. Dreamcatcher are very inflexible to allergies and exclude children who do not fit their mould of how they believe a child should be. I would say do not use this nursery if your child is under 18 months, has an allergy, or is a sensitive sleeper.

This is honestly the most outstanding, nurturing and wonderful nursery/ pre-school you would be fortunate enough to send your children to. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Tomorrow will be my twin girls' last day at Dreamcatchers having been there for over two years in Pre-School. They have enjoyed every second and Lynne and the staff have become like family to us. We felt comfortable leaving the girls there from day 1 and they have thrived and grown into creative, outgoing and kind little people as a result of the incredible care they have received from Lynne, Gill and the team. The staff are all absolutely lovely and the thoughtfulness that goes into the activities and curriculum for the children is superb. We will be devastated to lose our Dreamcatcher family now the girls are going to their big school. If you are thinking about a nursery in the Sunningdale area, put your children's names down as it will be the best decision you make for your family. This is not sponsored in any way and I am not related to anyone at Dreamcatcher. This is an honest post.
