Exceptional care

5 stars

We are so grateful to have found Becky and Dream’s childminding. From the very first meeting, we felt comfortable and confident in her ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. Becky is warm, approachable, and truly passionate about working with children.
She has a wonderful approach to learning and development, always planning activities that are both fun and educational. Both of my boys have flourished in her care.
The setting is exceptionally clean, well-organized, and filled with toys and resources that encourage creativity and learning. Becky communicates with us regularly, keeping us updated on our child’s progress and events that happen throughout the day.
Above all, we feel completely at ease knowing that our son is in such capable, caring hands. We highly recommend Becky and Dreams childminding to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and genuinely kind childminder.

AMAZING CHILDMINDER

5 stars

Becky and Sharon have exceeded my expectations as childminders, they really do treat the dreamers as their own children and go above and beyond to meet their needs!

Sending your children to someone else’s care is the most terrifying thing to do as a parent and they really do make me feel 100% comfortable in doing so, I know my son is in the best hands!

Couldn’t ask for more - thank you for being the best!!!

Wonderful childminders

5 stars

Becky has been absolutely wonderful with our daughter. From the moment she started with them, they made her feel right at home. Becky’s warm and friendly approach has not only made my daughter excited to go each day but has also given us complete peace of mind.
The setting offers a variety of engaging activities that my daughter thoroughly enjoys, from arts and crafts to outdoor adventures. It's evident that Becky tailors her care to each child's interests and developmental needs, ensuring a fun and educational experience.
Communication with Becky has been fantastic. Regular progress updates are shared through an online app and is always open to discussing any concerns. Her professionalism, combined with her genuine love for what she does, makes her stand out.
We are incredibly grateful to have found such dedicated childminders through the childcare app. Becky has become an integral part of my daughter’s life, and we couldn't be happier with the care they've provided.

and a huge thank you, for providing us with all the information we ask for to celebrate Greek traditions here at Dreams. We couldn't do half what we do without our Dreams families, so thank you

Goes above and beyond for children everyday!

5 stars

My son has attended Dreams Childminding with Becky (and Sharon) since being 12 months old. Becky is the kindest sole, with the biggest heart and goes above and beyond for the children (and their families) every single day. Communication is clear, and regular , activities and EYFS curriculum is structured, tailored and fun. My son's development academically and personally, has been incredible. Becky has helped him gown in confidence, with the perfect combination of a welcoming & warm, loving & fun environment, whilst maintaining professionalism and high expections. He absolutely loves going to Dreams each day.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Becky and Dreams Childminding to anyone. They are truly the most wonderful people/ place we have and have the pleasure to work with.

Couldn’t ask for a better childminder

5 stars

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

I honestly could not wish for better minders

5 stars

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

Was Very Nervous But No Need To Be

5 stars

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?

Fantastic

5 stars

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!!

Amazing Childminders!!!

5 stars

My daughter has been at Dreams Childminding since 2019 and will be leaving them to start school this September. The care and love Becky and Sharon show our little ones is wonderful. They nurture the children to enable them to meet their milestones and include the families in their learning, regularly changing topics and keeping the children engaged with learning.

Having personally gone through some extra difficult times recently, Becky and Sharon have gone above and beyond with my daughter and I can honestly say she absolutely loves them and looks forward to seeing each day.

We will miss them terribly when she starts school in September, we have loved our time with Becky & Shaz but we will always be apart of the Dreams family and come back to see everyone as much as we can.
