Welcome to Dream Catchers!
Our nurseries provide a family orientated, home from home environment with a service that provides high quality childcare to children from birth to five years of age.
Our teams are highly skilled with a strong depth of experience and qualifications. As early childhood professionals we work hard to ensure that we provide a secure, warm and stimulating environment. Working alongside Parents and Carers is paramount to ensure that we meet the needs of all children in our care. Both nurseries offer a supportive and helpful service to all families within our settings and we will go the extra mile to support you and your family.
Where work and play come together
If you are looking for a warm and welcoming nursery for your child, look no further! At Dream Catchers Day Nurseries, we will ensure your child thrives in a warm and positive environment, cared for by dedicated and passionate staff.
What We Offer
The Commitment
We provide a safe, nurturing and developmentally appropriate learning environment for children. We strive to appreciate and respect each child’s uniqueness in learning styles and his/her pace in intellectual & physical growth. Our Staff focuses on each child’s individual needs and promote his/her development through providing educational and age-appropriate programs.
Activities
We provide a range of activities planned to meet children’s specific interests and developmental levels. We have a strong focus on developing language and communication alongside developing social and emotional skills, building strong respectful relationships. Our main priority is that children are cared for in a safe, warm and caring environment where they enjoy fun and enriching experiences. We appreciate that children thrive when they are having a great time and being provided with activities that stimulate their curiosity.
Outings
We enjoy going on outings at nursery as we find these can be stimulating and educational, even a short visit to the shops can provide children with the opportunity to learn about road safety, money, what we need to buy to make meals, where food comes from and good manners. We also go to the local park, play areas, pet shop, library and occasionally trips on local buses and trams.
Programs
We use the Emag system (this is a Rotherham based system that consists of an individual tracker and a learning journey) to track our children’s progress. The information in these can be passed onto schools as children move, ensuring that the schools have a good idea of where your child is in terms of development. Our Staff focus on each child’s individual needs and promote his/her development through providing educational and age-appropriate activities. We have review meetings with parents / carers to discuss progress and next steps of learning. We can also email a copy of your child’s tracker and Learning Journey to keep you up to date with your child’s progress.
Our Club
Our Holiday Club provides a fun and stimulating environment where children can meet up with their friends and enjoy a range of outings and activities. Our relaxed and enjoyable approach ensures that the children have the best time. Please contact us for further information.
