Hopes & Dreams

Riley has just finished preschool at hopes and dreams, ready to start school next week. Riley started at hopes and dreams when he was 2 and he’s been on so many nice trips out, become such a better eater due to the lovely home cooked meals provided. The garden area is fantastic with lots of room to play. All the staff at hopes and dreams are just lovely and i can’t thank them enough for caring for Riley we will miss all the staff so much and have already signed up our daughter to start when she is 2! I would highly recommend you choose hopes and dreams childcare for your children ❤️

We are coming to the end of our Hopes and Dreams experience and I am so pleased that we picked Ballasalla for our little girls pre school year. Since day one all the staff have been so friendly and loving to our girl. She absolutely loves going and has made so many little friends and is ready for her next chapter… big school!! Massive thanks to Grace and her wonderful team for making this year so enjoyable.

My little boy loves going to the Ballasalla Hopes & Dreams. He was a bit slow to warm up to the idea of going to nursery, and the lovely ladies at Ballasalla couldn’t have done more to help him settle in, and I am so grateful to them. He now happily goes into nursery without a second thought and has the best time when he is there!

My son Stanley has been going to Parklands for over a year now and is going into preschool in September. The past year Stanley has come on so much with his speech and confidence. He absolutely loves coming to nursery every day and seeing all his friends. The nursery staff are absolutely amazing and Stanley loves seeing them everyday as well. Stanley will start swimming in September with nursery which he is very much looking forward to. He enjoys a healthy cooked meal every day. The children are able to play outdoors on the private garden and the verandas which overlook the Mooragh lake and is such a great environment for the children to learn and play. We are very much looking forward to what the next year will bring.

Thank you so much for looking after our kids for the past 4 years. We will all miss you, staff have been amazing x

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...

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

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

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! ❤️

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...

My experience has been a positive one threw from hopes and dreams at the Buchan to now Rushen school nursery and they always very friendly and happy to tell me about my child without request. He loves the staff there aswell which makes it so much easier to leave him.

Hopes & Dreams have been brilliant with our daughter since she started with them. Harper has come on so much, becoming more independent in everyday life. She has so much fun and goes on great adventures, the staff are so caring towards all the children and the food provided is amazing. We would highly recommend Hopes & Dreams to anyone

Caring and nurturing environment for children to grow and thrive. Children learn and progress through curiosity and play. My child actively wants to attend and would go every day given half a chance. I feel confident he is safe and happy and I have every confidence in the staff and the management team. Would highly recommend Hopes and Dreams (my child attends Parklands which is simply amazing).

My daughter hasn't been going long but she's always happy to go and happy when I pick her up. Staff are friendly and it's always great to have a quick chat about her day.

From the first minute my daughter stepped through the door, she has been welcomed into the Hopes & Dreams family. She has grown in confidence and ability as the staff have encouraged her to express herself and explore her interests and her identity. She loves group activities but also enjoys crafting on her own which the staff embrace and cater for.

The outside space is fantastic and regular nature trips are organised for the children to explore the outdoors and the world around them.

I would recommend Hopes & Dreams to any parent or carer. It is a wonderful environment for your child to learn, play and socialise.

As soon as my son is two he will be straight through the door!

Over the moon with parklands nursery (The clue is in the name; hopes & dreams) the staff are accommodating to your child's every needs and provide healthy nutritional meals and snacks.
They are good at communicating with you and keep on top of the app for your child's progress on a daily basis.
My daughter loves her nursery and the nursery and staff most definitely love having her there, all the staff are so caring and go above and beyond to help when they can!
I don't think I could sing their praises enough!!!!!!
Thank you Hope's And Dreams.

My little girl goes to Ballasalla Preschool and absolutely LOVES it! She gets so excited to go there in the mornings and comes out happier than when she went in 🥰 she loves doing all of the activities that they do and comes home exhausted, which just shows she has had a brilliant day! She adores all of the staff there and talks about them all of the time. We chose this preschool because of how great they are and also for the convenience of being next to the school she will be at. It helps her get used to being in the school grounds ready for September. I would 110% recommend here, it is just amazing!!
