Hopes & Dreams

I love hopes and dreams nursery my daughter loves going there and has so much fun and has made lots of new friends, would highly recommend sending your child here

Great preschool environment, I love the fact they have an outdoors option so the children can go on trips exploring every week on the minibus. Would highly recommend for your preschooler.

We love hopes and dreams at ashley hill - it is such a warm, homely environment and all the staff are just incredible.
I can not recommend them enough !

When we drop Dua off at the nursery, she was greeted by Friendly staff who know Dua’s name and personality. The environment feels safe, colorful, and inviting, with plenty of age-appropriate toys, books, and learning materials. Throughout the day, Dua is engaged in fun, structured activities that encourage creativity and curiosity. There might be painting sessions, story time, music and movement, and outdoor play that helps them burn off energy. The teachers are attentive and trained to understand the unique needs of toddlers at this stage of development, providing gentle guidance and positive reinforcement.
Socially, Dua starts to interact more with her age kids, learning to share and take turns, which is a key developmental. One of the highlights is outdoor play time, where the children can play in a safe, enclosed garden. Here, Dua enjoys running, kicking the Ball, all while...

My little one has settled in really well, staff are lovely & very accommodating. She has made some lovely new friends.

We are really pleased with the nurturing environment Ashley Hill Hopes and Dreams have provided for our girls. They are so happy to go in and always have a wonderful time whilst they are there. The staff are really caring and provide lots of new and exciting activities for the children to join in with.

Although it's been only a month since my daughter joined Hopes and Dreams Mooragh Park nursery, she has settled in so seamlessly and it's all thanks to how friendly and warm the staff are. All you want as a parent is for your child to feel safe and happy, especially when you have to leave them in a nursery setting, and because she is happy, I can be at ease while at work. I also appreciate how communicative the staff are, and how promptly they respond to any questions or concerns I have.

The whole process was easy and everyone has been so helpful with all my questions, my daughter loves going to hopes and dreams. Thank you to all the staff.

The staff are amazing my daughter loves going to nursery, I love the free play ethos and the nursery always has lots to do and it's different every week so she never gets bored. From our first visit I have been kept well informed and everything has been made as easy as possible, I would recommend hopes and dreams to any parent

Our little one joined H&D last month, and I have to say we are beyond impressed with the experience.

The enrollment team was beyond helpful and worked with us to find a start date that worked for us; the ladies in the 2-3 section have been so patient with us and our little girl - we felt heard and our preferences were taken on board. E. has settled in beautifully. We had our two boys (now 8 and 10) at H&D years ago, and I am so pleased to say that the staff and management remain as brilliant as they were then. Thank you - a month on, I have a little lady who demands to know at the weekends why she can't go to nursery!

She has loved her experience here, the staff are very friendly and helpful.
I would and have recommende the nursery to other people and the app is an amazing idea as you get to see what’s happening

My daughter loved it here, very supportive with potty training and other milestones. We will definitely put our other children here in future. Staff are great and so approachable and my daughter loves them all so much especially susie and Erin

Mooragh park hopes and dreams has been an absolute blessing in disguise, my daughter Aurora has grown massively in confidence and everyday has learnt more than I’d have imagined, the staff have helped her to explore outside play, messy play, and imaginative play, also how to clean up after herself effectively. Aurora has come home a new child over this past year and that is all down to the staff, such a fabulous team dynamic which in my opinion helps the little people in their care flourish!
Our journey at hopes and dreams Mooragh park has finally come to an end, a sad one at that, we will miss all the staff and how they’ve helped us grow as a family and as parents.
100% recommendations to all my new mummy friends

Mooragh Park for my son over the last few years has just been the best experience not just him for him also for us parents. When my son started at Mooragh Park he was very quiet and reserved now he is a completely different child. He has come out of of his shell so much and I can’t thank the staff enough for helping my little boy really shine through. The staff over the last two years have been the friendliest, kindest and most caring people you could ask for to look after our children. The staff here are an absolute credit the Hopes and Dreams and I know my son will miss them as much as I will. Thank you for being the best caters for my little boy.

Never had any complaints. Accommodating, we put a lot of trust into carers for kids and they do this well

My daughter has had an incredible experience at woodbourne road. She started October 2022 in the 2-3’s room. The staff were amazing from her first day nothing was ever too much to ask and they created a lovely relationship with her that she will always cherish. When moving up to the preschool room they did lots of transition days and she settled very quickly and has loved having new teachers and challenges in her learning. She has been on many trips out on the nursery bus and has created some lovely friendships that she will now continue to develop when going to primary school. Hopes and Dreams have a fabulous ethos that has given my daughter a chance to learn and grow with all her interests in a friendly, caring and happy environment. I couldn’t recommend them enough they have been everything I had hoped for and more. It will be sad to close this chapter but I can’t thank them enough...

Rushen Hopes & Dreams is a lovely nursery, the staff are wonderful and they have created a relaxed learning atmosphere where the children can explore and enjoy themselves

Hopes & Dreams have been fantastic. From the minute we signed up to now, the first few weeks of my little boy starting, communication has been great, the team are really friendly and my boy is settling. It's hard to leave him, and it takes time to get used to it but we feel confident he is being well looked after and any questions we have are always responded to quickly.
Thank you to everyone!

My daughter has received the best care…and more from the team at Ballasalla H&Ds. I always have meaningful updates throughout the week and they have spent time getting to know my daughter, drop off is always easy and the team can’t do enough for us as a family. I often recommend them to others wholeheartedly.

My daughter has settled in and absolutely loved her time at Hopes and Dreams. Everything has been very positive and happy. The staff are all lovely and like a second family/home from home for my daughter. Nothing has been too much trouble. My daughter particularly likes the days out and having visits. Thank you for helping her blossom!

Hopes & Dreams in Douglas has been amazing, they team there have been amazing with our daughter who has loved every minute she is there and to the point trying to get her to come home has been hard as she loves it there so much. She has come on leaps and bounds there and that’s thanks to hopes and dreams. If your looking for somewhere that looks after your children well and allows them to flourish and grow then Hopes and dreams is the place. Can’t thanks him enough for how they have looked after our daughter. They really are an amazing nursery with a great team working for them. Thank you

I love Hopes and Dreams because I feel my child is safe there. It’s a lovely approach to play and social interaction. The outdoor area is really nice and can be used on dry and wet days. The childcare workers are caring and loving. They are compassionate and give cuddles and hugs if the child is upset. The children have a variety of toys and activities there to ensure they always have something to do. I’m confident that my child will be happy there .

We have loved the learning approach adopted by H&D, and the spaces and opportunities that my children have been able to enjoy during their time at the nursery. Staff are friendly, caring, committed, and professional, and have helped us navigate a few challenges along the way. The boys love the adventures, and the app used to share updates is fab. Thank you for everything, and keep doing what you do so well! ⭐️

My little boy has been at Hopes and Dreams Rushen since he was 2.
I can not recommend the staff and nursery enough, nothing has ever been too much trouble.
My child has came on so much in the 2.5 years he has been attending and we will all miss nursery very much when he starts his journey in reception come September.
They have regular outings which are always thoroughly enjoyed by my child.
We are kept up to date regularly both via the app with pictures and messages and also during handovers.

My daughter absolutely loves it here at the Ballasalla Hopes and Dreams. I cannot fault the care and attention that she receives here.
She has come on absolute leaps and bounds since starting in September 2022.
I have no doubt that she has been fully prepared for her start at primary school.
Every single member of staff are wonderful.
I can’t wait for my son to take her place I’m September 2024

I have loved hopes and dreams since my son attended from 2019 so I knew this was where I wanted my daughter to go when she turned 2! I love how messy my daughter comes home as it shows how much fun she’s had, I like how the children are outside playing as she loves being outside. Being able to drop her off with just her coat and hat is amazing as everything else is provided by the nursery nappies, water, meals & snacks. The food menu has lots of variety and I’m hoping this will help my daughter become a better eater! All the staff are lovely and so helpful if I have a question or need any support x

Both of my kids have attended Hopes and Dreams (Rushen) and have loved every minute of being there! The staff are so loving and caring towards the children and put their best interest at heart making sure they’re safe at all times. The curiosity approach has worked wonders for my 2 being children who like to investigate things and being outdoors, they’ve had lots of play structure which is a key factor. Communication is brilliant! Will be sad to say goodbye when my little boy goes to school this year :( Thanks so much for the work and input you’ve put towards my children’s lives!

My little girl has been coming to Hopes and Dreams Ballasalla since January 2023. The staff are lovely and helpful and always happy to help with any concerns. They always reassuring and send messages with photos to let me know she is ok if she was a little sad when she was dropped off initially.
She always enjoys her days here and particularly loves crafting . She is always encouraged to explore and learn new things. A bonus also for me that her manager Lola is Spanish as I am . My little girl is bilingual and is great that she can also speak Spanish in Nursery too.
