Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Becky D. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Becky, along with her co-childminder Sharon at Dreams, had our girls from when they were 11 months old right through to 4, when they started school. Our girls absolutely loved going to Dreams - Becky played a huge role in their development, ensuring they were always challenged in their learning and developing core skills. She fosters a kind and caring environment for the children that go to Dreams, which has been so valuable for our girls in making friends at school and weekend clubs. Becky regularly goes beyond and sends home examples of what the children have created/made as keepsakes for parents to remember them at this age - something that is priceless as they grow up!
Above all we’re proud of how kind, confident, curious and fun (with a healthy dose of cheekiness) our girls have become as they’ve grown up, and much of this is down to the girls’ time with Becky and Sharon. We would wholeheartedly recommend Becky and Dreams to anyone looking for a warm, professional and caring environment for their child.

you will all be missed so much here at dreams! But we know we will see you around, and have the girls knocking at the door to say hi! Thank you for the pleasure of helping the girls grow into the most confident, outgoing, funny little ladies they both are. chalk and cheese but we wouldn't have them any other way, they both had us laughing daily and filled the room with happiness.
thank you once again
Becky & Sharon go above and beyond for their dreamers making sure each day is fun but educational. They have little visits and fun walks, baking and so much more I couldn’t list. The little trinkets and thoughtful gifts are something else, you can tell they adore each and everyone of the little dreamers. The updates throughout the days & pictures make me smile while I’m working!
I remember the day I dropped off my daughter for her first day at 10 months old, walking to the door with tears in my eyes and being unable to speak, the little poem I was given and told to read at home with a box of tissues cemented my decision that I had chosen wisely with Becky & Sharon.

Thank you, seeing her achievements makes us smile everyday, such a super star. The little touches are all thought of during group times, the dreamers love making special gifts for their parents. The smiles as we celebrate achievements together and watch our little dreamers become our big dreamers, is the most rewarding part of our roles as childminders x
My eldest 3 went to a different childminder before Becky established Dreams so I was very nervous about making the change when my youngest came along.
She’s really quite clingy & would only sleep in my arms - I worried she wouldn’t settle for Becky & little madam would be a nightmare.
I needn’t have worried, she settled in right away, sleeps with no issues.
To say she’s a clingy baby she basically threw herself out of my arms to get to Becky - what more reassurance do I need than that?

Becky combines unconditional love for the children with a passion for developing and nurturing them with experiences and learning. We are consistently impressed with the variety of activities. Our son is always excited to go spend time with his Dreams family

love this our Dreams family are what we are due to families like yours 💕 we are so glad we get to continue our adventure with little man starting
Becky is simply wonderful and she brought my daughter on brilliantly, she assisted me with getting her talking, doing things independently and down to complex things such as potty training! Becky is very approachable and professional at the same time! My daughter loved seeing her, she was so kind and played along with all sorts of themed play. I love how at christmas, halloween, easter and everything in between daisy used to come home with little keepsakes and beautifully personalised art work, the effort becky puts in is outstanding!! The playroom is wonderful and toys are frequently rotated to support the childrens learning! Very good, Would defo recommend!!
