Hopes & Dreams

It’s hard to summarise in a review all the good things we want to say about Hopes & Dreams.

We think Hopes & Dreams has a homely atmosphere and all the staff are caring and supportive of the children. Our son Reggie has come on leaps and bounds since joining this nursery and he absolutely loves going here.

It really prepares them well for school and encourages positive values and relationships with other children. We personally love the curiosity approach as it has given Reggie the freedom to explore his own imagination. We love looking at all the creations he brings home and looking at the photos of the adventures he has been taken on.

We always recommend Hopes & Dreams as they really do offer outstanding childcare! You can’t put a price on your child’s happiness and development and every penny spent at Hopes & Dreams is worth... Read more >

Belle has enjoyed every second of being at nursery, I don’t think she has ever left with outs smile on her face. The days are varied and learning is enjoyable. She has made the best of friends and the teachers are all amazing. I can’t thank everyone enough Read more >

The team at H&D Ballasalla are just awesome! My Little boy (2 year old) has come on leaps and bounds since starting in September 2021. The ladies are fun, patient and caring and we couldn’t ask for more! They also managed to get the best nursery photos of my little man, I’m just chuffed with them!!! This particular photo says it all! #HappyLittleMan Read more >

My daughter spent the last 12 months with Ballasalla Hopes and Dreams, she had never been in a nursery setting before but she instantly felt at ease from the moment she started, which instantly made me as a parent feel at ease!
My daughter would come home telling me all about the different activities the nursery had done each day, and how caring the staff were!
All of the staff members were amazing with me as well, I couldn’t have imagined sending my daughter to another nursery. They go above and beyond not just for your child but to ensure you are okay as well!
My daughter has come on so much in her confidence and knowledge in life from being here, and I will truly never forget the staff that played a big part in that☺️ all I can say is thank you all! ❤️ Read more >

Our daughter started Hopes & Dreams in January just as we went into lockdown. Throughout the lockdowns we had the most fantastic group at Ballasalla checking in with us all and helping with ideas to keep the children busy. It was faultless. Since being back, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds.. she started with limited vocabulary and not even really stringing a sentence together, but 9 months later we’re having having full conversations and her confidence has soared. She’s no longer as shy as she used to be, always runs into the nursery excited in the mornings and the staff there are the most wonderful people I could leave my daughter with. It’s important to know that the staff care for your child like you do when you’re not there and we regularly are told by our daughter that ‘XX made me happy today’ or ‘XX gave me cuddles today’, ‘XX put plasters on me and made me all...
